An ambient peice under my new name Xifeye. It is called The Cycle Stops, and is the sad story (without words) of a computers death. Thank you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha ok :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

doonladin |

I'll be honest i cannot listen and enjoy tracks like this, but it does fit the story of the computers death. I have 5 of your tracks, they dont really do much for me, far too random for my liking although i did enjoy 'said i'm gonna' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Random? Most of my stuff has been criticised as being too looped based? You must have just downloaded a weird set of tracks :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck, I uploaded the wrong one anyway. You won't like the proper one either though :P Thanks for listening anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK. The proper one is uploaded, just so you all know :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah i agree with being too loopbased, when i said random i meant the fact that it is mostly just noise i hear. Nothin that makes me wanna listen to it fully without fastforwardin. I respect the time it takes for you to assemble your tracks, but noises dont make it a good track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was lying...people always say it is too random. You're like a little mini fashion designer reviewing work :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i had made this track i would've changed the title "You feel like a foreign object to me" also i'd focus more on minor chords than just dissonance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but other than that it's really good |
||||||||
|

Much appreciated Mr Nigel. I am not a musician...I don't know about chords and stuff yet. I will start looking into all that shit now because I am quite happy with being able to produce the sounds I want. I have been making music for a year now...but I have been lazy a lot of that time which is why I still don't know about all that chord shit and that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats a fair point ecnad, i didnt realise you didnt know about chord structuring. The outcome of which is shown in your music, i like that. Ive played guitar for about 8 years now, and alot of my music is influenced from what i have learned through writing music on my guitar. But to write music with no musical (instrument) background. I totally respect. The outcome of which usually sparks originality. Sorry i'm babbling, im currently in process of writinf 5000 word essay to be handed in, in approx 6hours, its 4am just now and im 3/4 finished. I need to write this to take my mind off the other shit im writing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe the only background I have got it shit loads of listening to breakbeat stuff in various forms (breakbeat rave stuff, hiphop and drum and bass before this so called 'IDM' nonsense). Good luck with the essay :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
checking it out :D you check out mine, yet ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DIG IT ! hella random :D hahahaha "loopbased" I should release an ambient album...... one genre I haven't really touched, yet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

one section reminds me of Tocota en Fugue in D Minor" (sp?) |

Bump 4 later |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
what you have is ok but its missing something a depth in the whole piece yeah i listened again its not got feeling very sterile |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw how would you pronounce your new name? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Suppose I would pronounce it zifi xi being a greek letter and feye being pronounced fi in my head. Thanks for listening. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I like it, but I think it needs a bit more variation, maybe. What an awesome review that was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's easy to come up with an review like that when you have lots of time to do it... for some reason i can't either play or download the song!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My life is complete after than review...you managed to ecapsulate everything about the peice. :P |
||||||||

'Locust' was the first thing that came to mind. I quite like this definitely more interesting than some of your other recent stuff. Can't see why people were so hard on this track myself. This has a certain quality to it - not bad. You must have done this late at night or something. I'm probably in an open enough mood but I quite enjoyed it. The track seems to work nicely as it. |
||||||||
|

this track actually has a bit of a computer game ambient background kinda sound to it, it actually reminded me of one of the tracks Trent Reznor did for the Quake soundtrack.... i really like that chirruping, grating deep sound.....like that a lot if i did a remix of this, i'd stick some big massive drums in there, you know, just here and there, nothing that's cohesive like a bar of drums, just some hits here and there to accentuate certain points of the track but i quite like this nice one mate :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes it does kinda remind of Quake too. |
||||||||
|
|

Much appreciated chaps :D To be fair to rudster if I had downloaded the version he downloaded I wouldn't have had anything good to say about it. What happened was that I had a ringmodulator on it which originally was automated...when I did the original mixdown it switched back on without the automation and ran for the whole track, it sounded a mess. hehe promo you are right, the track was produced late at night in a silent envionment and I had the subwoofer on while making it (which I normally don't do) and it sounds quite growly and sinister through that...maybe it sounds a little flat through other speaker types? A fair comment. |

I like how during the beginning that while that metallic oddness sounds like it is living and breathing that you have what sounds to me like out of tune strings that eventually build up and fade off. Imagine different moods and feelings of an individual during songs. This song sound like someone is out of options, lost hope and has a deep emptyness that is driving them mad. A song that would accompany a character's breakdown and would lead into another scene where something drastic would happen. I'd be interested in doing a remix or a version of this. Very well done track. It had my imagination going! |

My god...you just described my current life :( |

eeerie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here, but my attempt would probably be shit! lol i derfinately agree with you about the mood of this track - are we getting some insight into ecnadniarb's feelings at the moment? could we see The Downward Spiral album, by ecnadniarb? if he did an album concept like that, following this track that'd be the bomb! ecnadniarb, if this track is the evisceration of your feelings, i really am sorry and i hope things get better for you - i kinda felt how this track feels a while back, but things got better for me, even though i thought they wouldn't :) |
||||||||

Thanks for listening. oscillik: Everything I make is just fed off emotions, I can't make it any other way. I have never listened to the downward spiral so I don't know whether to be flattered or not :P It's just music at the end of the day, some people will like, others won't. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can send you a copy if you like? ;) trust me, i reveer (spelt right?) The Downward Spiral as one of the best by NIN, one of my fave albums of all time the concept is great, and its executed brilliantly i really like this track anyways, and i like your other stuff too :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll check the album out. I should be able to download it. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked the track but i can't remember anything about it, i shall have to listen again... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am far too tired to be writing constructive reviews i will write one tomorrow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha cool mister :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Get yo'self on slsk! If you can be arsed of course. |
||||||||

Interesting... I like the swells and when parts enter and exit. Not too heavy on the panning, neat stuff. The overall feel is nice, maybe even making it a bit less complex, some longer portions with just the background pads and sparse noise accompaniment would be my only suggestion. I'm not feeling a lot of structure in the piece, but I assume that's what you were going for. Gives off a good industrial video game vibe. Good piece. I think this is about at the point where you need to nitpick and focus on the small details to make it get up to the next level. Some of the parts actually would be more powerful if it was more repetitive and cleaned up. Think using the BEST loop you have and making it repeat. It gets in the brain and leaves too quickly. Hope that helps! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just couldn't get into the track, no connection. i don't mind repetition, but i just couldn't connect with what was repeating. i guess my reaction is not really negative, so much as neutral. this has been the... plaidzebra minority report. in the words of y wen kuo, "keep on." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought the general concensus was that there was no repetition in the peice? :P Thanks for listening anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well i liked it, i liked the sounds you used to put it together and the atmosphere it created. I would like to see however a few more sounds come in and dissapear really quickly and a few electric shock type bits of sound, i think that could make it better. : ) But i liked it! |
||||||||
|
|

|

nice begining ... take it further ....opinions are shit ... peace |
||||||||
|
|

Gets a bit boring after two minutes, needs to find a direction and at least head in the general direction of it ;) Some muffled thumps 60% pan-right with a hint of reverb would be nice--something to add to the tension -- you created some tension to begin with, but it soon became assimilated and lots its suspense -- build on the suspense, and, maybe, take it to a conclusion - that's my advice, which is worth at least nothing. -) |
