Please give it a try, it is a bit different than the other two tracks I have done and I would really really really like honest feedback. :)

A really great piece of work, Lee. I love the noise harmonies and rythms, sub-rhythms... it's the kind of stuff I've been contemplating recently too :)
Great job!

nice. I'm not really very good at commenting on music, but I liked it. It sounded quite accomplished.

Amazing. I wish I could make stuff like that. What are you using?

i liked the tension in the track... alot of suspense!!! the hihats came in nicely...
but i couldn't help wanting to hear it just drop into a really difficult rhythm or something... although, maybe the obvious isn't always best. i liked everything going on here, though.

Thanks for listening. I actually contemplated doing exactly what you suggested, but when I started to work on that section I felt it started to detract from the overall mood I was trying to acheive, so I just decided to leave it as it was :D

i also listened to your 2 other tracks... pretty sophisticated (the first one, mainly) for being first attempts at music. some people never have a feel for those types of rhythm... they just dont think inthose terms. continue to churn stuff out... experiment... these will just get better and better. props.

well... my one friend has a hard time finishing songs. he gets only so far, then his idas cramp up on hiim. maybe not the same thing, but my advice is the same for you as i would give him...
let it sit. then come back to it. if you STILL think it needs something, it prolly does. just getting away from a piece of music can clear your ears out... work on something new... then come back to it.

another thing to bear in mind is that the WHOLE piece doesnt have to be one place or zone or mood... sometimes its good to stay solid, somtimes not... once again, it all comes down to your own judgement versus your ears... the law of inertia applies, too.

I think the needlefix track needs extra work doing to it, the synergy track was really just a throw away first attempt at making something. The Distroted High track is meant to reflex a bad high from drugs, and from that view point I am pretty happy with the way it plays as a shortish peice. I wanted t try and maintain the tension through out without it ecome monotonous. I don't know if I quite managed that but at this stage I am satisfied with it :D

maybe adding something OTHER than a rhythmic element... liek say, another layer of drama via a synth or a nice hollow drone to create some ghost notes???

ok I'm stoned so bear with me...
I like the way the bass picked out certain notes. The fluxuating spikey feedback in the background was a good compliment to it. First thing I was reminded of was 'Temper Temper' by Goldie - the Gallagher riff has the same anxiety to it. I see this as more a landscape than a song. I mean you could do plenty with it, or leave it be. If it crashes into a drill n bass segment then it might sound a bit Snaresish. I would like to see it go somewhere else, maybe as it's based on a bad drugs experience have it peak slightly and then fade away into steady rhythm. I dunno. Well done though.

THis is the first of your tracks I've listened too, it is certainly very strong for someone so new to making electronic music. Just wondering if you have any previous musical experience?
Good the way the different elements interact and come back into one another.
My only criticism would be that it might benefit from some pained vocal samples or perhaps just another instrument to give the frequency a bit more breadth- so it's not just high and low.
You even avoided the common "beginner's trap" of making it too long with to little variation! Well done on all accounts, keep at it, you seem to have a gift for it.

hehe, thanks. The only previous musical experience I have is listening to tons and tons and tons of stuff over the years.
At the moment I am still just exploring the sounds I make...I am still finding it difficult to produce exactly the kind of things I want to do, but hey I suppose the more time I spend aking tracks the better I will get.
I will actually look at adding another frequency band because listening to it again this evening it felt a little flat in some places.
Thanks again :D

I just gots to disagree about the pained vocal bit - vocals would ruin the automative feel to it - especially pained vocals, which to me would be pretty crass and predictable! :P
