I haven't been here in a while on account of not having the internet at home. This place is strange and weird to me now. I doubt anyone remembers who I am, but are two tracks that I made recently. Untitled - a rdj-ish diddy made by recording random household sounds and sequencing them. I also recorded a bit of my friends drumset and chopped it up. Rustled risings - an ambient track made entirely with an electric guitar and a delay pedal, and some vst reverb effect. please tell me what you think of them if you listen. thank you in advance to anyone that listens. Also, I will post another track, a more 'techno-y' 10 min thing later, if I can find somewhere to post it to. |

helo. I forgot about e-mailing you back from way back when. I'll do that sometime soon here... |

rustled risings has interesting drum stylings... as i've mentioned before, your tracks always sound a lot more full-sounding than a lot of stuff by other peeps... the second track is okay too... sort of reminds me of Rafael Toral... |

rustled risings: love this. really nice. goes a bit saw2ish in the middle but works for the feel of the track. untitled: the way you made this is really amazing. I love that natural/organic sound you have going on there. You are pretty damn amazing at making music. respect. |

i remember your avatar at least, if not you. untitled is a fun little song. there could be some better adjustment of levels and shit, something about where the sounds are placed seems a little off. also, the break at 1:28 is way too long, it would work better at about the quarter of the length, cuz as i was listening at first i was all 'oh its a break' but then i began to think maybe you just decided to end the song but still have the mp3 be like twice its length. if you do keep it that long, have the part where it comes back in be alot more ass-kicking. return the favor and listen to my tracks in my thread if u want. pieces |

mr. q. long time no see/speak. how're things? as for the tracks? untitled is supreme. very impressive. i'm quite enjoying it. rustled risings is nice, but i have a hard time keeping my attention on ambient stuff. but that's my problem. so no worries. cheers. |

deadeight - I will have to check out Rafael Toral. thanks for listening. Raz0rBlade_uk - thank you very much for your complements. I agree with the saw-ness of it. hedphukkerr - thanks for listening, and for the critique. I agree with a lot of what you say. though I am not exactly sure because I can't listen to the song right now, as I am at school and there are no speakers/headphones. That is the reason I can't listen to your track either. Sorry. --- the other song I was talking about before. It's like a mish-mash of several sub-par aphex twin ripoffs. Check it out, if the opportunity arises. |

no problem, i know yer busy. i think my last email was a rambling critique of art as commerce written right before going to bed, so maybe it wasn't worth replying to... anyway, i'm at work and i'm going to check out these tracks in a few minutes. |

I'm doing good. what's up man? I haven't seen you in forever. (by 'see' I mean goof around on the interwebb with) Thanks a lot for listening. I'm glad that you're still around to remember me. Uh, well I've get to class. ...best wishes to everyone who posted and slightly less-than-best wishes to those who scooted about elsewhere. |

Yeah i haven't forgot about you. You've made some interesting tracks in the past and I remember you saying you were gonna send a demo out to a few labels. If I remember I'll try and check your stuff out tonight. |

plaidzebra - yes it was worth replying to.. I'm just a procrastinating bastard. Skink / weatheredstoner - thanks for remembering me. W.S. - I did send my tracks out to some labels, but no one replied. I even sent one out to a relatively famous person in the electronic music 'industry' who asked me to.. I'm not going to say who, because he probably now wants nothing to do with me.. (I can imagine everyone saying 'yeah, right, sure..' and with good reason.) Now I am off today for good. Thank you to everyone who listened. |

untitled has great sounds and a lot of promise, i'd like to hear it grow a detuned melody, it sounds not quite complete. that's one thing i really like about your tunes, all sorts of fucked up sounds, always fresh... |

listening to rustled risings now, but i'll have to give my opinion before it finished since i've got to make a phone call or two for work. if you stretched it out to 8 minutes it would sound like stars of the lid. i liked it but it's something i'd need to hear more of to see whether or not it sticks. it's like a swirl of oil in a puddle down the street... an intriguing listen on both tracks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i will say that i think you should stretch out most of your tracks, Q, they are almost always good as is, but they'd be great if you explored the soundscapes more... stretched em out and let 'em run for a good 10 minutes or so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The last one I posted is 10 minutes or so.. It's made of many different movements (i.e. things crammed together) I figure if I explore soundscapes too much I'll bore the listener, as I would probably be bored from most of my noodling. plaidzebra - thanks for listening. I will need to check out Stars of the Lid. I don't think it'll grow on you.. It was basically just random notes strung together.. er somethin'. What a thinly veiled bump this is. |

what? that was a a thinly veiled bump?!?! *squint eyes up* you bastid. ps lots of people think stars of the lid is boring, it's love it or hate it glass-is-half-empty-or-half-full sorta music. |

I might hate it. I was just an experiment. Most ambient stuff bores me... It's okay for background music, or for playing when I'm trying to fall to sleep. I guess I don't know what I am talking about because I don't really listen to it much. This has been another obnoxious bump. Somebody should check out if so inclined.. It's different than what I've done before. Really long, but much more straightforward. like a ripoff of aphex twin crossed with squarepusher maybe? I'm not sure because I don't listen to squarepusher really... I don't know. I suck at describing things, and I'm sure no one's really interested. |

Right they are just about to be listening to now. Untitled: This has a nice start, i like the way the percussion builds here. I enjoy the slightly off kilter beats. That gap in the middle confused me a bit however but not for too long. Some nice interesting beat mangling in the second half. This certainly dosen't get boring. I would like to commend you on your production skills. They seem to have come leaps and bounds from the first stuff i heard of yours. Rustled risings: This starts out being quite spooky. It reminds me atmospherically of sigor ros. That can only be a good thing! This is nice work. I like how it gradually changes into something else. It seems to shift mood every few bars or something. Overall i don't have any complaints. Good stuff dude. : ) |

Skink, thanks much for listening and for your opinions/compliments. I definitely see how that song would remind you of sigur ros. the guitar and delay pedal I used gave an effect very similar to how the guitarist in that band uses a bow.. both give it a sort of string-y/cello-ish sound. Also, it shifts moods because I made it with several guitar tracks completely improvised with little or no editing... so all the 'wrong' notes gave it a sort eeriness and a unsettling quality. thanks again very much for listening and for the in-depth review/analysis. |

It's all good dude. I remember when i first got a fast internet connection, one of your tracks was the first i downloaded. |

Which one.. do you remember? It was probably a waste of time and/or bandwidth. I figured I'd annoying bump this again.. for the final time... and to show off this creepy avatar-guy. |
||||||||
|

I honestly can't remember now, it was a long time ago. It was pretty good as i remember. : ) |

Ah. Oh well. It was probably one of those 30 doozies from way back when. On a semi-related note I promised I'd send a few people on here some cds, and I still haven't gotten around to it. I'd send you one if you wanted, since you seem to like my music.. to an abnormal extent. Or.. you can check out track if you want.. I don't think anyone as yet, as it was burried in this thread. It's like 10 minutes of mashed up stupidness, but with some nice melodies if I do say so myself. I keep bumping this thread mainly because of that track, which I spent a lot of time on and is quite different than my other stuff. ..more accesible maybe... anyway, thanks for listening/commenting and bumping this incessantly with me. (note: I said I wouldn't bump this thread anymore, but technically this was not a bump since it is still on the first page. Ah.. technicalities.) |
