that i have made. i'm posting this one more time since the last one had a vague subject so it wasn't clear what it was about. the track is sweet and summery and i'd like to hear your reaction. let me know what you think! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very nice! it's summery indeed :) i like the nice melody and how it changes to minor for a short while at 'bout 1:20.. i really enjoyed listening to it, i'll keep this on my computer so i can play it at sunny days :) good job! keep it up |

Hell yeah man.. nice work. Love the vocal samples. I could have done with a smidge less of the xylophoneish loop thing.. but still a really good production. We remixed the same ae track, we must have similar tastes, I'd like to hear more of your work. |

this is great. =] i, too, would like to hear more of your stuff. give to us! |

zebox only allows tracks that are 5MB or smaller (if you don't pay) so right now i don't have a lot of tracks that will fit that bill (i wouldn't expect anyone to listen at 96kbps, i even hesitate to use 128 kbps). i like zebox since it's very simple and doesn't demand a lot of time. pomme, maybe you'll change your mind once you hear the ae remixes! one track i picked as a challenge, since it is a track i really don't like. the other track i remixed in a completely different style from the original. i wondered if anyone would be annoyed by the vibe repetition, but honestly i love that soft metallic binggg so i let it roll. i'll post here again if i can upload today, otherwise i'm going out of town for a few days and won't have access. thanks again for the positive feedback! |

i've posted a sleepy, watery track about ocean tides. unfortunately i had to encode it at 112 kbps so i could post it. let me know what you think! |

that's really really fucking good. man i'm gonna have to get back into the hang of listening to everyone's songs here. they're so good |

four xltronic listeners can't be wrong. this music is designed to inevitably increase your quality of life. if you think about it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i feel a little less shameful since i've been edged out by the embarrassing wank stories thread, among others. i can say with certainty that this music is better than pleasuring yourself with a vacuum. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
depends what kind... dirt devil, yes... but hoover...... i don't know.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i'm on 56k here.. so it's not downloaded all the way, but i like what i hear so far.. it's got it's own style.. is that you doing some vocals in it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the xylophone-type sounds as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the vocal is j hok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i didn't realize it was a remix at first.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or is it?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'nt? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
technically it's a remix, but 95% of it is what you would consider "additional production," ie not related to the original track. i didn't like the original (though i do like a lot of gg's work), so from the global goon track i only used the obvious vocal, some other vocal snippets, sub-bass, & a cymbal crash. did anyone listen to the other track? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
q4z2x, which track of yours do you recommend? i see you have a lot of tracks available...let's hear your best! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i swear this is the last time i'm going to bump this thread. anyone else willing to check out a few tracks and share their thoughts? i wouldn't ask if if didn't think the music was worth your time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I quite like this. chilling stuff, I like the melodie. But the sound of the xylophone gets a bit repetitive after while. the vocal is cool to, maybe you could do some more with it? I dunno. keep going. greets isnieZot |

any of the ones on the thanks a lot for taking an interest.. i live in minnesota too ya know.. |

not really morf tokelau |

q4z2x i listened to gluoin... and i liked the combination of noise and melody, lots of great sounds. i just wish the melody had developed more, kept building into a more defined motif. but it occurs to me that your approach, abstract towards the autechre spectrum, is very different from mine, which is more poppy with repeating melodic motifs. at least that's my impression. i'll definitely check out more of your tracks when i get the chance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks alot for listening. it means a lot to me. i'll que up your other track for tonight to download with some others and tell you what i think about it tomorow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
see. i didn't much care for downtown. well...i did but i didn't. if i were out shopping at the banana republic or something like that i'd feel right at home. i dunno. gg just really doesn't do much for me, either. haha. though i will say that your remix is definitely superior to the original. =] when the tide went out, on the the other hand, is a fantastic little track. super mellow and airy. good for a lazy summer afternoon or something. what did you use to make it? i'm curious. overall...great stuff, guy! keep it comin'! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay. on a second and third listen i realize i have no idea what the hell i'm talkin' about. downtown is great. the massive static that pops up in the last minute kinda didn't sit well at first...but now i like it alright. bleah. okay. i guess what i'm gettin' at is i like it much better than i thought i did. guh. heh. =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yes I really really really really like this track :D So much so I have burnt it to CD and will be playing it in my car later this evening when I go down to the marina with mith my girl :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i'm listening to that other track, and i think i like it as much if not more than the other. it's really different than the other one. i like how it is kind of foreboding and pleasant sounding at the same time. it almost sounds like it has one of those rainmaking things on it in the backround. one kind of weird thing is, when the file plays it says it's 2:12 but then song goes minutes past that for some reason. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"when the tide went out" was made with guitar, bitrate smudged samples, straight out samples, and two audio editors. i still may tweak it further... yeah, the background sound does sound like a rainmaker, but it's actually the sound of chunks of ice churning around in water! if you liked those two tracks, you will want to check out the next track i'll be posting in a day or two. it's another mellow one, it will take you back to when you were nine years old and you stood outside on a sunny winter day watching your frozen breath in the sunlight. it's called "voices from nowhere." if you live where it's always warm, it's more like the midnight quiet when distant sounds seem to move around in slow motion... thanks to everyone for listening (i realize the overload of available unreleased music means everyone's time is valuable), i am working to not only not disappoint, but to articulate the audio transcendent experience. i hope you hear what i mean. q4z2x, i'm gonna go download another one of yours now! |

plaidzebra, u can split the files and we can rejoin them : ) and keep it at least 160kbps, there is a large drop off when going on 128kbps |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that's a creepy little picture ya got there.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is the granma from aphex twins video "come to daddy" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i knew it looked kinda familiar. i've only seen the video once. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like the rmx... feels very complete... polished... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've still never seen that video... celloncllone, i'm planning on acquiring a little more webspace very soon, at which point i will reencode at a higher rate. danke schön for the suggestion, though. i'd definitely prefer 160kbps, when i have more space i'll probably do 192kbps, which is decent sound but still reasonably small files. i'd like to upload the .aiffs, but at 56k it would take hours for one track, and i'd for sure get cut off before it finished. of course, anyone can buy a custom cd from me if they're interested. but you probably haven't heard enough yet. q4z2x, i just listened to black book, and i thought it was very good, one of the best things i've heard from artists here. it's so short, though, that it seems fragmentary, like it's the last 2 minutes of an eight minute track. i suppose leaving people wanting more is a good thing, however. i think i might have to reupload "when the tide went out." did anyone else have technical weirdness? |
||||||||

the other one kinda reminds me of fennesz... quite nice... while i listened to it i read about an iraqi man who is suing Tommy Franks and Donald Rumsfeld for 200 million dollars in damages... when the war started he moved his flock of sheep and his large family away from an iraqi military base and into the desert... he set up tents to host 20 of his family members... they were all killed when a missile struck the tent where his female relatives were staying... it's really sad to think about and the song kind of intensified that emotion... thats what good music does... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you for listening and for the kind words. i'd say my many tracks fit together more as a whole into one large song on the cd, so you are definitely right when you say that it is fragmentary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
q4z2x, did you do remixes for the autechre competition? deadeight, that does lend an unfortunate poignancy to the music, the sadness of loss. fortunately, although the tide has gone out, expectations are that it will come in again. all we can do is pray for our brother who lost so much. if only the music had the power to bring comfort. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
q4z2x, you have another page besides zebox, don't you? if so, refresh me on the address, i can't find it here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep i did two remixes for the comp. and my other site is don't expect anything all that good from it. most songs there are my older material and are more straightforward "hardcore" or "drum and bass" songs.. kind of an electronic music parody, in a way.. but there are a few more serious tracks, but they are definitely different stylistically than the newer zebox songs that you have heard. thank you for listening. |
||||||||
|

plaidzebra if u wanna go all out, upload some .ape lossless files to a server. cuts the file size down to roughly 50% of the original wav. otherwise see if u can encode in ogg format @192kbps, ogg seems to have the advantage even tho at the higher bitrates not by much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm i likwd the global goon remix alot, The sounds all worked well together and stuff, did you do that in aid of a good will or a conteset or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
skink, everything i do is in aid of a good will, but i'm definitely hoping that j-hok will give me 600 pounds for it, especially since i am currently unemployed. also, part of the motivation is always to refine the articulation of the voice. q4z2x, have you submitted demos at all or have you tried self releasing your cd? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not completely done the album, but when i am i'm going to send it to some labels, and to soze here from the forum that runs a label here actually and was interested., i'm surprised you are so interested in my music.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
q - i've only heard two tracks, but i definitely thought they were above average. i could spend hours downloading from mp3.com and never hear anything decent, so when i hear something that stands out, i take notice. it feels almost as good giving positive feedback as it feels getting it. |

thanks a lot for listening! you will have to keep me posted as to when you get some new stuff uploaded.. this, and your location, reminds me of a predicament that me and friends are in, which i'll get to later.. doing electronic music is only part of my joy of making music. i also play guitar in a more traditional music band, but i don't really talk about it here, because this an electronic mb and all. but really, i like to make music in genres that i think need more good music in, not to say that electronic doesn't have some really great artists, i just really wasn't into anything electronic i heard, much of it was so repetitive and non-thought provoking, until i heard some afx, autechre, and some others (not to say that there aren't countless others who are good)..but even now it's getting worse, groups incorporating "idm" elements into shitty music. i think it was Funk from venetian snares who said it best, something like "idm is becoming more of a pissing contest instead of real art." that definitely applies to other musical styles.. and that's the reason for my other band. we take elements of so called, metal, rock, alternative, funk, hip hop, some jazz, folk/country western (almost) and some other stuff, everyone in the band as very different tastes, but we are looking for someone to do keyboarding/sampling/programming etc. i'd like to bring in some of the style similar to the music i do on my own, into our sound, but i'm occupied with playing guitar, so i can't do it myself live. we are relocating to minneapolis at the end of the summer and since you are from minneapolis, and are into electronic music, i figured you might know someone in the area interested in doing that job possibly.. i know this is a big/strange request, but i really want someone for the job who is into quality electronic music, and is not just someone looking to play keyboards in a more "rock" oriented band, and is a fan of "rock with keyboards"..like the people from around where i live in minnesota.. i want some |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want someone to bring something entirely new to my bands sound... thanks for taking the time to download and listen to my solo material though.. you don't have to reply to this if you don't know anyone who would be interested, or don't know what the hell i am saying.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, q, i know exactly what you're saying. but unfortunately i don't know anyone who would fit that bill. as a matter of fact, i don't even know (personally, that is) anyone else in minneapolis who makes electronic music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay thanks anyway.. i guess us electronic music lovers are a dying breed. at least particularly in minnesota |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Didn't feel so much for the gg rmx...although it had a nice sound to it. It lacked some arrangements, to sort of keep things moving. The other track was great though. Doesn't need elaborate arrangements, it's not that kind of song. Keep up the wood gork. |
