It looks good.

Don't gush so much in the writing on the site. It humanizes
you. Slightly cool, withdrawn and mysterious would suit the
design (and the music!) better; try to seem almost reluctant
to reveal anything about yourself.

reporter: "What do you want me to tell the people about
Miles Davis?"

Miles: "Don't tell them NOTHING. Let them guess."

and I've said on the Planet Mu phorum already, but I'll say

Im gonna ask theo to rewrite it

but do keep in mind guys, I DIDNT write it.

I asked theo to write something, and thats what he gave me.
I was flattered to say the least, but Im not goin to keep
it, due to the universal dislike for it.

I understand you didn't write it, but you did put it on your

don't you think it was over the top yourself..?

Points: 312 Status: Lurker



yeah... ya gotta watch out for the pretentious bio stuff.
*not saying you suck at all*

People wont take you seriously at all, unless you can back
up your statements. Like Squarepusher's pretentious
comments. He def has room for saying that shit. But it
made me laugh and not buy his album when it came out tho.
such a lil fucker.

as for the site, it's designed well. joyrex is good. I
agree with the nav bar. Needs to stand out more. also, the
text gets a lil hard to read when the bg is really complex
and/or dark. Maybe that scrolling window can have a 10%
opacity backing of white.

just a thought. but what do I know. I'm not a designer.
or maybe I am? ;)

and I knew this was gonna happen.

but whatever, its gone now.

As far as fleetmouse's comments: I can understand totally
what you are saying... but I think acting very absent would
be kind of pretentious in a way as well. what do you guys
think?

Ive never had a real website before, so I dont know the best
way to go about all this Seriously, all your guys feedback
is welcome and appriciated. Id like to make the site the
best I can.

I would say, just keep it simple.

you like making music - thats what it comes down to. all the
other stuff is unnecessesary.

no, I still meant the bio.

keep that simple. keep it personal.

and, maybe keep the rest simple too. I don't know, though -
it all comes down to your personal taste.

Zeus - regarding the bio, I'd perhaps just offer a little
comment why you got started making music. If you have a
particular aim in mind then maybe state that. Nothing too
extravagent, just a little taster of who you are. Then
leave the rest to people's imagination.

Don't feel compelled to write up a biog. If people need it
(say for interviews etc) then email a bit of info to them.

I think putting up a bio can only be detrimental to the
reception of someone's music. You don't want to give the
wrong impression, start off on the wrong foot etc by a
misleading bio... :)

Hope this helps a little. I know how hard it is to try and
get a decent bio up - now I just have a line or two saying
what I'm up to.

Rest of the site looks great. Thumbs-up.

Thanks for the feedback as well, even though this is Zeus'
site.

What would make the navigation more obvious? I tried to make
it straightforward and non-techy as possible.

Zeus: LOVE the tunes up there... good stuff!

P.S.: Anyone else interested in design work feel free to
email me and we'll talk.

let me ask you something ..... zeus.
I just listened to red flower and.. hmm....

listen.. I liked 'Confield' too. but let's leave it at
that.. let's appreciate it without trying to create hollow
duplicates of it.. I mean really. do u actually consider
that an accomplishment of any kind? if you're gonna come out
with your own shnazzy website with a laughably pretentious
write-up from one of your alert-merited icq friends, with
the overwrought track titles and all that.. you need to
deliver! ...you can't hit us with a six minute
reverberated C-minor chord from your midi keyboard w/ a
little phaser on top . NO! that's been done. and , quite
frankly, there's nothing interesting about it.. give us good
reason to listen and believe your lauding in the
bio-section. we dont want half a breakbeat in reverse with
some static over it.. even if you're going to try to excuse
it by calling it "glitch" or a sound collage.. listen to
me.. what you've done could be done by anyone and
quite possibly better. why do we need to pay attention to
your website !? why you and not the next guy that is
trying his damnedest to distort his sample of a door
slamming beyond recognition, extending it into a 4 minute
opus of masturbatory experimental splendor, and forcing it
onto his forum of choice, hoping to yet again fool those who
don't know any better. it's presented in your website as if
it's the second coming of christ in mp3 format.. when in
reality it's the thirty-second reiteration of an
autechre-aping fruitylooper fronting like he's an artist.
don't try to be someone else by sucking the soul out of
other individuals and vomiting it out on all of us. you
didnt' convince me, theocide certainly didn't convince me,
and the jaw-dropping pretense of the whole operation only
helped to repel me.

I'm not saying you're not talented. I'm saying you have done
little to prove you're anything new, or that you give us any
real reason to hear something worthy of the praise u've
given yourself
