||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's fate, brutha. and besides, kurasawa's the master, how could you not be inspired by him? i have some vietnamese folk tracks i recorded from vinyl, that you could fuck around with. i also have some african melodopercussive instruments and a bamboo flute that sounds SO japanese. |

hohoho thank you sir! *bows respectfully* |

The fact you said your own track rules made me feel angry, thus lowering my expectancy of this track to around 17%. |

The beats are very good as usual. I just think the music needs something extra. It just sounds a bit dry and lacking in emotion. I will listen again though. I suppose this track has a certain purpose and probably I ought to have a more open mind. I like the idea all the same. Emotional not much there to grab on to though. I think Photek captured the Samurai spirit very well in his tracks but this is just lacking a bit. For what its worth more of a fusion between the beats and the textures would be a welcome development. |

yeah, but you'll d/l it anyways out of the goodness of your heart. |

How long did it take you to do out of interest? What sort of equipment do you use too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

well it took me, at the most, maybe two hours. i recorded the thumb piano (the metallic melody at the beginning) and the bamboo recorder myself, playing them live. The strange samples of voices were sampled from a vinyl of Vietnamese folk. I use the freeware Hammerhead and Microsoft Sound Recorder. Sounds were recorded with a V-Tech microphone and a Numark TT-1510 turntable. The thumb piano was actually hand-made in South Africa, though I'm sure the bamboo flute was part of a mass produced surplus, because it was three dollars. |

For two hours its pretty impressive. Don't you use a sequencer though, how do you program all your beats in? Don't u use Cubase or Fruityloops or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
d/ling. I like the photo on your zebox page btw. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no sir. i build some sequences with hammerhead, others i build by cutting and pasting w/ sound recorder, and i mix everything in sound recorder. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why thank you. i scanned myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds complex. I have no idea how u use Sound recorder to do that. Sounds a like a real bitch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is, but that's the way i like doing it, and so far it hasn't let me down. it's all mathematics - when you know mathematics and apply it to sound, anything is possible. cut and paste my friend, cut and paste. |

I downloaded it and listened but that was a while ago and I've forgotten how it sounded, and now I'm going to bed so just know this: I didn't dislike it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've always found editing in Soundforge for instance a bitch. You know to cut and paste bits and bobs. Just wouldn't know where to begin. I've tried but not yet succeeded. It always sounds a mess. :-( |
||||||||

|
|
have a good rest then and thanks for listening. promo - well, that's basically what i do. i've been doing it for almost 5 years now, so it's effortless for me. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Very interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please? |

Your beat work is brilliant yet again. I does lack emotion, sort of another drill track by numbers. I think if you get down to it, and really felt what you were making you could come up with something amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I agree with ecnadniarb. I think for two hours work its good but if you spent a couple of days on a track then it'd probably be wicked. |

i've got a cat that looks just like that. his name is thomas. i call him thomas the tiger because of his stripes. what's your's named? oddio: cool track. not really my style, though. |
