hi, I made a quirky little track called cave muncher which I'd like some listens and views on. Thanks! Also, I made a quasi polyrhythmic piece (4/4 and 20/16) or it may just be in quintuple time - I haven't decided yet. It's on the same page and called pirate.wings.... Also on that page is Icicle Breath, a playful little piece which I admire. all tracks are, as usual, mercifully short. |

pirate.wings is nuts, i can't keep up with it. it would fit right in on super mario [NES], where you have to defeat the 1st bowzer across the bridge. cave muncher does sound quite analord-ish :P the end always seems a bit of a surprise. |

i wish i had a more productive response, except to say that i liked the sweet sad punctuation to cave muncher. i found myself thinking about how weird it is to be a humanoid organism listening to this synth made by another humanoid organism, and then thinking that it's weird to think that, because after all there's nothing really weird about it at all. it's only weird that it seems weird. |

ha - maybe it was the bassline and it's occassional stabs that caused this :] thanks for listening! If you make music, can you link me to return the favour? |

thee link is in my profile, if you feel so inclined. but i'd prefer if you didn't think of it as a favor, since i was motivated purely by self interest. |

Pirate.wings wasn't really my kind of thing. As far as chiptune type things go though it was pretty good. Icicle breath. The "female voice" triangular waved synth has a nice poigniancy to it. Good melody. I really wasn't expecting it to change into, "Boards of Canada do House music" half way through, but it worked suprisingly well. I really like the acid line and the filtered drums (particularly in that break that starts around 1:40) in cave muncher, but I feel the chiptune synth detracts somewhat from the otherwise mean, menacing, detroit atmosphere. The 'strings of hope' towards the end of the track are good, but due to the comparatively short length of the track, they make it seem as though there are too many ideas to really gel into a cohesive track. Perhaps you could extend the detroity elements it into a 5-7 minute epic dance track with the strings forming a 'playout' over the last minute? |

thanks for listening to all three, ceri! pirate.wings was a little experiment I did on fruityloops -- I changed the number of sections per beat to 5, and experimented along those lines. I'm not sure was a chiptune is! Icicle Breath - I do quite like this one - it's the one I'm most likely to extend. cave muncher - this is still my favourite of the three - I really like that 'chiptune synth' :D I was happy with its subtle progression throughout the piece. Maybe it's the beat I should change instead of the bass? Or maybe separate them and put the strings to the beat as one track, and make a glitchier beat to go with the bass? Ta! |

The end of cave mucher is excellent...from about 1:30 onwards, wasn't feeling the first half though. icicle breath I liked the feeling a lot. pirate wings kept breaking up, put it sounds decent enough. |

wow thanks Lee - I had mentally abandoned this thread and had already started the grieving process for its puniness... you've restored my faith in everything! It's funny that Icicle Breath was the most flippantly made track, yet seems to be the most popular! :o |

the track is great, i've played this track several times now, it's kinda addictive ! the 'chiptune synth', the 'strings of hope' at the end - all is yummy. |

what the hell. these analog sounds are great, but those pads dont fit! but this is real fresh. man those high hats are clumsy. so funny so funny. that pad is awful! and the melody sounds like its ripped from dj spree's cover of neverending story. but yes very weird and some nice sounds there. i love the very beginning when the pad is out of tune with teh analog shit |

It's starts off promisingly enough, but then doesn't really go anywhere. Work on your tracks structure. A famous example is "Da Funk". There are only like four parts to the whole song, but they are put together perfectly over about six minutes without getting boring. |
