Deceptive Philodendron
First impression: this must be the electronic version of
this random opera i once heard...
, and it kinda
is...sounds moving around without any constant beat. There
might be some few good parts, but it's all like oh! that
sounds good, wait, now it's gone


Rabbit Spaghetti
Again, very random in my ears. The samples give's no deeper
meaning... I get some of the feelings you express, by
reversing old tapes.

Chovies Deuce
At the end we have a little more beat than the previous
tracks, but it's a little too monotone. You need some
transpose to get my attention.

Arabian Oilcan
I like the start of this very much. It has some melodic
features, which where lacking in your previous tracks on
this "EP".
But then the randomness strikes again, and I feel that I
really have to be into the dark side of ambient to get it.

Kennecott Orlandofall
Again, a good melodic intro. The timesignature and BPM of
the beats keeps on shifting throughout the track(s), so it
seems that the beat around 1:00 goes directly to the veins
in my head and gives me a headache.

OVERALL:
I'm probly the wrong person to review this, 'cause I'm too
little into stuff like this. What I can say is, is
that you have great control over your effects and VST's, and
if you used that talent on some plain beats, you would
probly be able to do a lot of cool havoc.
On this "EP" I can only say this: If your heading for an
audience, you might have to look hard, but if your heading
towards just making music that makes you happy, your on the
right track.

And another thing; sampling cellphones is cool, but keep it
to one track (like a theme) so it wont sound to used

thanks for checking it out Junktion , you are correct , in
that i understand there is no audience for what i choose to
do , aside from myself and a handful of cough syrup addled
freaks.
i am curious in regards to your comment about sampling
cellphones , because no cellphones were sampled in this ep.
what sound are you reffering to exactly , so i know what i
overused ?

it's just me with the cellphones i think :)

I was so sure that you sampled a newer nokia @ 2:22 in
Deceptive Philodendron...and then again in a later
track...it doesn't sound overused, it's just that it
reminded me of the same ringtone ;)

son of a bitch , i stand corrected. good fucking call on
that one ... i forgot that sound was in there , at 2:02
though .. of said track , there is a sample of a ringtone
slowed down that plays for 2 or 3 seconds .....

here , ive uploaded the original sample i used for that
sound ... is this what you were talking about ?

LAZY_TITLE

and one more question , did you like the drill and bass
segment of track 4 [starting around 7:30] OR DID IT SOUND
TERRIBLY DONE ? Thank you.

it's funny 'cause i was thinking of a totally different
ringtone (that my friend uses)

well, that drill-part sounds ok, but I would probly' put
some distortion on it.

I wish the melody and drums loop at 8:46 would keep on
forever, 'cause it sounds good

yeah i could always do a remix of the track or something
....

i re read your original post , the part about "There
might be some few good parts, but it's all like oh! that
sounds good, wait, now it's gone " ... When im making
chunes , im torn over shit like this. For some reason , i
feel like i have to be a mastermind and not let any sounds
or beats repeat themselves more than once. Itys like ,
everything has to be cut up , differnt from bar to bar or
else it feels like im cheating , or not putting hard work
into the track by letting something repeat. however there is
tone of repetitive music i really love. so i suppse the
trick is to find the balance , between , letting a part play
for a while when its good so people can get they groove ons
, however dont let it become too cheesy and repetitive ?!
fuck it who knows. My next ep will be a completely different
mess , the styles change drastically ovewr the days and
weeks. anyone else out , cou\ld please download the fucking
thing and , because i truly need constructive criticxsmcsz
as junktion ddid , to better my self as an electyronic
musician.
