i uploaded a new track i wrote yesterday to express the extreme shitiness i've been feeling. it's kind of an dark/ambient/minimal/noise.. actually pretty simple. if anyone would like to hear something different, as in my pure indescribable sadness in extremely simple music, give it a listen. thanks.

I liked it. Very dark, and those 'dripping' sounds add very well to the overall effect.
It was quite short, but you were not taking it anywhere to that it ok. Sounds like manifestevil's evil is spreading!

i like it - kind of reminds me of the stuff i wrote back when I was going to be doing soundtracks for short films. short, sweet and dark - like a chocolate bar.

sorry to hear about the shittiness, send me some sounds and i'll make a track to cheer you up.
unfortunately i'm at work so i can't listen now but if i get a chance later on at home i'll have a listen.
didn't you promise up a complete shift in style? i think your next release should be a glitch funk cover of chic's "funny bone."

yeah, i promised a shift. i think this is going to be a final track on my "album"
then when i get the inspiration to write more and reformat my computer and send out some cds to people/labels i am going to experiment with new techniques to convey emotion through the music. the technical side of making this music and expressing myself through a computer is kind of getting on my nerves, but i need to somehow embrace it. i need to find some kind of new way to work through this machine without it being so overly analysed by me in the process. i've been considering moving away from distinct rhythm and melody completely, and just try to express my emotions as simply and purely as possible without gratuitous abstraction for the simple domineering thrill of it. but instead increase the complexity in it through instinct alone, not thinking about how what i am doing would be interpreted by anyone else, or how incomprehensible the final product will be. i want to make music that people in the similar mindset as i could relate to. i am leaning towards complete, boring minimalism or complete intentional, overwhelming elaboration of everything. i think the two go hand in hand in my music, even if it doesn't seem that way when one listens to the music. some of the most simple-sounding things can be so remarkably complicated to make. that is what i strive for. i never know when to say when in my music and i just want it to seem like it has a life of its own. i want to hear it breathing, and have the listener forget the endless measures it took to get to the song to that point. i want the final product of my toil to appear uncomplicated and straightforward but interesting enough to notice new things through each listen. i know it sounds like i am long-windedly contradicting myself completely here, but it makes sense in my mind.
also, plaidz, i will be moving near minneapolis sometime this summer, maybe we can do some kind of electro-jam someday.

Knowing it was an emotional expression of misery makes me like it a lot in a psychological way I guess, but if I heard it on it's own I'd think it was pretty average. The melody can be interpreted as an expression of an unpleasant emotion since it's dissonant and at odds with itself sort of. I'd like to compose the way you described above, but I'd need a lot more control which requires a lot of knowledge about how computers work probably. So I always end up canning that idea and continuing being limited by modplug trackers dated technology and only do the thing I've found that works best with it.

Well I can relate to unpleasant emotions. I think sadistic means desire to cause pain to others, but pain is my least favorite known phenomenon.

it can also mean to enjoy the suffering of others in general.. i think..
but maybe that's schadenfreude..

yeah. i just was listening to my full "album" (which is around 80 minutes in full now, b.t.w.) while eating some pizza and watching hollywood squares on mute, (staring whoopie goldberg and gilbert gotfried, b.t.w.) and when this and another one of my more discordant-melody type tracks came on, it made me feel physically ill, and i was feeling fine before.

Just heard 'Q4z2x dibasic 2' interesting. Bit of an anti-climax though as I was expecting it to go into a drum and bass masher. Sounds very similar to an old Mu-Ziq track from Tango & Vectif. I reckon it needs a rocking breakbeat myself. I'd do a remix but then I'd probably just add a predictable breakbeat ho ho ho.

it's too low and bassy to reproduce clearly on speakers. it's pretty much intentional. i like the sound of crapping-out speakers and digital clipping for certain things..
promo- thanks for listening. i'll check out one of your tracks.. but it'll take a while for me.

cool cool. it won't happen for a while. and i probably won't have an internet connection right away. i've got to find a job and such first. but it'd be fun to jam.
too bad i don't have any actual electronic-type instruments. all i've got is a guitar, a computer and some conga drums.
