Just some shitty snippets of aborted ideas for my track for Thad. Really rough and ready.
Feel free not to listen :P
1
2
3
4
5
They are all a little bit different from each other in style I think.

Sound nice to me. some comments:
1) I think it needs another layer, maybe something rather constant and unobtrusive to glue the other stuff going on together. The melody and beat line seem so separate that the thing sounds slightly empty.
2) Very nice to hear that little aural tickle underneath when the beat drops out. I like this one. flows very smoothly
3) The melody line's sound could use some refinement/processing. This one also could have a little more going on, sounds a little stagnant at times
4) Too short to tell. sounds decent but need to know how it unfolds
5) maybe add some low pitched line meandering in the background?
Your comments that you're sometimes playing with emulating autechre's sound are really clear here; a lot of these have the clear echoes of specific autechre tracks (heard rae and acroyear really distinctly). You really make nice music ecna, why don't you spend more time on it? Sweat on it some and figure out exactly what your sound is. Also do you ever experiment with more shifting key usage/modulation? These all sound nice, keep up the good work.

wow...thanks...I was expecting someone to pick out maybe on or two tracks, I wasn't expecting this :D
I am too lazy to make music. I get really frustrated things not coming out the way I intend them to. I have some other tracks which I started work on...I sort of naturally drift towards the sound/feeling that was in 1 and 2 of these ones. To be honest I haven't really used effects all that much at all and I still don't know about melodies and what ever. I just make what I feel. I suppose if I was to continue making music I would have to look into those areas.
Thanks again, it is really appreciated.

It was my pleasure, I really like your shit. My comments weren't so good since I'm tired, I kept saying 'nice' and basically said add shit in each track, without specifics.
I don't mean to give some gay pep talk, but unfortunately all humans fail a lot. Professional photographs use less than .1% or something absurd like that. No computer programmer writes bug free code (many get close..). Draft 7.30 had how many revisions? And how many flaws does it _still_ have?
Anyway, you know all this. In my own case _nothing_ parallels the satisfaction of working at something and it eventually coming around. Basically all good thing require lots of work from people of great ability, not just one or the other.
[/unnecessary gayness]
about the frustration, maybe try different approaches to conceptualization. Try maybe a quick but complete pass through, on paper, in head, on computer, on keyboard, whatever, before you get knee deep in details.

I've tried loadsof ways of working, none of them work. That is why I have given up on it all for a while. I'll probably start again in a couple of weeks refreshed and feeling happy again.
anyone interested or working in MaxMSP this is the latest thing I made with one of my creations.
Thanks again sneek :D

ecnadniarb, you're my coolest online gayfriend ever ;D!!
in the context of commenting your tracks, i think sneakattack covered it all.
about your workingmethods: listening to your snippets i've got the feeling that i)the shortest one was the most spontaneous one (as if you were doodling, which is good) ii)you have too many good ideas to make up your mind.
if that is the case: have you tried recording doodle sessions of an hour? afterwards you can collect certain ideas in one track and use the others somewhere else. something like that.
