I've found a music making "technique" that I, at least, think has interesting results and use it on most of my new tracks. I like it because the results have really complex "fractal" percussion, but there's not that much effort to make it. Examples are at http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/wmw/ (the tracks "my bloody vacuum cleaner 2" and "4 rooms 4 walls" for example) The technique is easy enough and I want to share it in easy to follow steps in case anyone else wants to edit or play with the simple idea etc. If anyone's interested, I will make a very easy to follow "tutorial" text, and give you modplug tracker (the software I use to do it) as well as the data and wav files that I used. |

well you are really offering something here... I listened to "My bloody vacuum cleaner 2" which sounded interesting... so what is this teqnique? If you don't mind, send the tutorial (only, don't include any other files, thanks) to key_secret@hotmail.com I'm going to bed now, but I will be checking the mail tomorrow + responding if you've sent any :) |

I dunno...both sounded pretty similar and it is something that would be quite easy to acheive in other packages. Thanks for the offer though :P |

If I make a "tutorial" it will be pretty necessary that the reader has a copy of modplug tracker. It would just be easier for me to be able to specifically say "do this or that" and know exactly what I'm talking about since the reader would have the same exact program. Plus it might be interesting to be able to swap files of data or whatever since the files would be guaranteed to work on any one's copy of modplug tracker. If you don't know your way around that program (it's simple anyway) it won't matter, because I'll describe the basics as simply as possible as I go. I might just provide a link where modplug tracker can be downloaded (but it's easy to find on the internet anyway probably). I would be interested in hearing something you come up with in a similar construction, ecnadniarb. If you've made something "fractal-percussiony" like this I'd like to hear it. Some people seem to like the results and some aren't as interested. Well, put simply, (and it might be obvious) the "technique" is to basically make 64, 128, 256, 512 etc rows of randomish sounds, then play three simultaneous octaves of the resulting wav file. This is what I do usually. You can use many programs to do it, but I'll be able to explain/suggest more specific stuff in modplug tracker I think. |

thanks for the description... First I didn't get it (I thought you recorded your entire track [including e.g. drums]) but then I thought about it and, a-ha. well I guess it was obvious from start ;) thanks anyway. might try it some time. the reason I wasn't so interested in modplug is because I already use another trackersoftware (sortof). but thanks anyway! |

modplug tracker is just a simple piece of software. It's only about 1000 KB, which is only about the size of 1 minute of an mp3. However I'll need to send a ".it" file that has the data for one of my tracks (I think I'll use my first telefon tel aviv remix). These are usually small in size, but it will be necessary for me to send a rather big file because INSIDE the .it file will be 2 or so big wav files. So maybe about 17,000 kb. It's still not that big. Lots of files this size easily fits on my computer. I don't know of any way to send files this size other than soulseek, but I'm sure ways exist (hotmail has a 1000 kb limit). I still havn't even started making the "tutorial", but it shouldn't be too hard. |

You can mail it to me if you want it should be ok. I've got everything running outlook express, the size shouldn't be an issue. |

Swell. I will reply here in a few days or so when I'm done creating my pointless "tutorial". |
