Thanks man :)

I have tons of never finished tracks, I am getting closer to
being able to finish them, but I don't have anything online
at the moment. Hopefully someday I will settle down and
stick with something till the end.

Another recent experiment with Max for any guttons for punishment :)

do you have it set up so that the sequencer sets off more
sequences at it goes

or something

Sort of. There are a couple of different sequences being
triggered at the same time, all doing slightly different
things.

Thanks teapot, all my beats are constructed myself from
individual hits, I can't work with sample breaks for some
reason, plus it gives you a lot more flexibility when it
comes to effect triggering and isolation on certain hits.

This is nice, Army General Guy. I like the second one twenty
times better, but the first one rocks the socks as well.

I made a special dance for your second tune.
Boom-tap-buuum-chika-chika-tap-boom-thip
Boom-tap-buuum-chika-chika-tap-boom-thip
Boom-tap-buuum-chika-chika-tap-boom-thip
Boom-tap-buuum-chika-chika-tap-boom-thip

Makes me want to overcome my fear of Max/MSP

I'm wondering if you ever plan on making a full track.

I like it a lot, it must have been a lot of work getting
everything ready in max. Or have you modified other people's
MAXmachines(autechre's :) )? Is that a granular effect or a
vocoder(or both) on the drums in the first clip? Anyway,
well done!

hmm.. for an experiment, it's ok, but I'd like to hear a
longer track with more changes. c'mon my selctor, man!

That max stuff has a unique sound. It is taking on shape and
the sounds are of a good fairly analogue ish quality.
However when compared side by side with something like ep7
or windowlicker it's as if the sounds are slightly dusty..
less boldly defining something crisply. And their
sporaticness is more.. logical somehow. I don't know how max
works, but if possible I recommend trying to compose at a
lower octave then changing it back to the higher octave when
done perhaps.

I can honestly say hand on heart that I have never so much
as looked at someone elses Max/MSP patches. I just build my
own. As for the granular/vocoder effects it is neither :D

It can be as basic or as complicated as you want it to be,
and I know I am still very new to it, but I just keep
experimenting and seeing what I can do.

I still don't feel comfortable enough to make a full track
that I can be happy with.

Max/MSP itself has no sound, you basically do your own stuff
from scratch using samples if you want. The dusty sounds of
the beats are down to personal preference, I have another
version of the first track which sounds really clean, but I
don't like them that way :D

I have max1 on repeat while i write this. It feels like it
could grow into something rather good. I think the melody is
the strongest part of the track, the texture sounds almost
too "tuned", i think maybe it could do with being more
atonal. Obviously it's only a sample, but maybe some sort of
ambient intro composed of real sounds would work, moving
into the more "decayed" Max/MSP sound.

Max2 is a little too retro-sounding for me, but i like the
crisp hissing textures low in the mix. The melody isn't as
strong here, a little bit "midi" sounding, plus the beats
sound like they should be stuttering and chopped up rather
than so straightforward.

You clearly have talent though, it's not like i'm saying
"whoa yeah, nice work dude, keep the dream alive" out of
pity. Your music has complexity and depth, which is not
something to be sniffed at.

Not too bad. What kind of sequencer?

The first one reminds me of some bubbling swamp... sunlight
piercing through thick forest and glinting sharply off dirty
water. The second puts me on some huge metal object floating
through the bermuda triangle. I like the first one better,
slap some fucking dirty bass down and pummel in a punishing
rhythm a la 777 by Ae or Fulton Bobbaface by Datach'i and it
might even make my playlist :D

See, whereas before your stuff sounded utterly alien and
therefore interesting, it seems like now some kind of
musical instinct is attempting to assert itself and the
tracks sound like bad attempts at conventional music.

It is ever the curse of the anti-musician to at some point
become merely a poor or mediocre musician.

Neat

I like the progression, really subtle sort of peaks through
the beginning, great synth to add in, harmonics blend really
well with the drums

Some really small things you could do with the timing on the
drums that would make it sound a lot more... well...
flowing. Like you're not quite sure on some of the beats
whether you want to throw the beat off a little or put it
where it fits with the beat. Makes it just a bit awkward to
nod your head with it in places. Know what I mean?

Very cool experimentation, could lighten the sounds and make
a really cool Autechreish beat out of it and play with those
synths for a long time. Nifty!

Points: 24805 Status: Lurker | Show recordbag



haha thanks everyone. These are just experiments, never
intended to be made into full tracks. :)

If I did ever change it to a really autechreish beat it
would come across as nothing more than substandard sounding
ae wannabe nonsense rather than just bad music nonsense. I
would prefer to be classed as the latter.

thanks again :)

I really like both of these. If I had any idea how to use
this Max/MSP thing, I might just turn into my own favorite
artist :o
