i just finished the follow up to the track "ishokemaxe" that i posted i while ago. this one is mainly made up of the same sounds as the last, but it's more abstract and abrasive, with some chance elements put in. i would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
-thank you much.- here

I didn't hear the original, but here's what I think of this:
A good wide variety of sounds, I liked the glitchy percussive ones and also the one that sounded a bit like an owl. The bass at around 2.09 is good and the stuttery percussion at 2.25 is also worth a mention.
I think it might benefit from a bit more of an ending and also something running through the track to hold it all together.
If you are into soundcollages, this track is for you. If you prefer your music more traditional this may not be to your tastes...

thanks alot for the comments. i agree with what you say about the sound collage, that is kind of what i was going for. i'm working on tracks to go at the end of my album, and i want them to sort of degenerate into noise at the end. the other tracks are much more traditional in structure.
the other track is here if anyone wants to hear it.
thanks again

i'm downloading your track, "snow fall" and will comment on it in return.
if anyone else wants to review, i can do the same for one of your tracks. it might take a while, since i'm on 56k, but i'll do it.

all right, snow fall was nice. it's a little short just by itself, but having that go into another song after it on a cd would sound great.
i like the piano sound. i don't know if it's from a synth or it's a real piano. it sounds pretty realistic to me. i like how it is kind of happy and upbeat, but almost off-key or dissonant at other times, giving it a bit of unsettling feeling at times. because of the title, i kind of imagine snow falling, and seeing the beautiful snow flakes, then feeling happy, like the songs sounds at the begining, but then fear and sadness strikes at the end when you realize you are snowed in, or are lost somewhere in a snowstorm with nowhere to go..

yes. definitely "abstract". hehe.
and i agree with ceri about the "owl"-ish sounds. and that bass line he's speaking of reminded me of a video game called sword of vermillion for sega genesis. god i loved that game. with the little girl that turns into a two-headed fireball hurling demon.

yes. they do seem to. i enjoy it immensely.
so you're putting together an album, eh? you should keep us all posted as to when that'll be around. i'd be rather interested in hearing it. heh.
oh. and thanks for the listen over there (shameless promotion, i know. shh. =]). i wouldn't expect too much from it, i did the whole thing last night and was pleased enough with the results to throw it up for people (however few they may be) to listen to.

thanks a lot for showing interest! i'm thrilled that you and others want to hear my album. i still want to get a few more quality tracks done and take out some of the less good ones before i officially call it an album. i've also been toying with the idea of sending it to some record labels, but i don't know if any my music is good/original enough for that. i guess it's worth a shot though. but when it does get finished, i'll make sure to burn a few copies and send them to some of the fellow xlt mb members who helped give me ideas and suggestions throughout the process.
maybe i should have a remix contest for one of my tracks when i finish the album, and give around 10 copies to the top entries....... because otherwise my cd burner is too damn slow to actually make enough to give away or sell, and there's so many tracks..(around 60), it would be a bitch to download.

...i've been thinking about it and i will have a remix competition if enough people are interested. the prize(s) will be a personalized copy of my soon-to-finished album with their winning track on it.. but i will have to probably limit it to only the top 5, because i have no printer and i'll need to print out the little booklet and whatnot on the school computers... my art teacher would most likely let me print the shit out, as long as it's not too much. the tracks to remix would be the ones mentioned in this thread:
qishokemaxez and ishokemaxe if anyone is interested, i'll officially start the contest-with a new official thread..that is if there are at least a few more than 5 contestants-then everyone will actually try and not just be guaranteed a prize just for entering. if you're interested sign here:

well if you at least post something made with sounds from either or both of the tracks it would be very likely that you'd win an album. then you'd get to hear your ever-so-good remix at the end of it every time you listen to it..

Would you be up for making some .wavs/.mp3s of the different bits available for DL?

i looked, and i really don't have too many of my source sounds saved anymore, since i have mixed and edited the file so many times, but i have about 4 clips sitting on my desktop that were some of the source material for the tracks to begin with. i suppose i could compress, and upload those so they be used in addition to the two finished tracks. i'll post them on the official thread when i get them uploaded, so we can all stop posting on this one now..
