got a new track online - only on my myspace for now
i'm afraid

the top one - "duff mckagens exploded spleen"

for the tech junkies amongst you, it's recorded "live" using
a machinedrum fed though the effects processors on a
monomachine

thanks for lookin!

mmm it sounds good, even pleasant at my ears...but
mmm it sounds nonsense
like it is going nowhere...
just accomulative sounds without interest,
maybe it needs repeated listenings,
maybe its not my kind of music...

are you selling wallpapers for 6 pounds???

yeah, it's ok - a bit boring tbh. those bits where it
changes and goes a bit mental should stay changed. er, what
i mean is don't keep reverting back the the original beat
bit, let the change run, then change again.

nice tight production though.

needs more synths.

well thanks for listening - most people so far have said it
takes a few listens... it did for me too!

copies of my album are available with three different
vintage wallpaper covers. they smell amazing, especially
number 1

I agree with what melack and Chin Bwoy Phat have said.

cheers chin bwoy - i used to do that a lot (change something
for quite a few bars) - i kinda want to get away from that
and just have a change for one bar, then back to the
original + or something slightly different

the beat/drumz are cool, reminds me a little of some
panasonic work. irratic, scratchy, drone-ish. lotsa
samples tend to get boring/tedious at times, mainly
throughout the middle of the piece. other than that,
standard. personally, i might add some type of underlying
melody to get a nice groove goin'. something kinda synth-y
like a mild harmony. but then we'd have two completely
different styles. it could go in either direction either
more sparse or more rich/full.

cool, i'll take that into account. i know what you mean
about having a melody there... there's a couple of spare
tracks so i'll see if i can fit anything in for the live
version

I really like it, it makes me think of LFO played too slow.
About half way it really picks up, it's like five different
rave tracks in disguise, that's what I was thinking.

Fun Fact: My favourite Arsey Rob track is "Theres A Tiger On
The Boat " which I played on some hick radio sation's
electronica programme "The Cut" last year.

I liked it! The pummeling drums do get a bit tedious at
times.. some sort of a nice synth bed humming underneath
might have helped maintain my attention, but then again some
of your twisted, abrasive samples later in the track have a
sort of diguised tonal quality of their own, which may only
be possible when set against a minimal, dry drum pattern..

Anyway, you've obviously succeeded in piquing my interest
and getting me to try and figure out what you're up to.
Thanks for sharing!

thanks for listening!

btw all the noises created are generated by the machines.
anything that sounds like samples is probably digital
feedback / effects between the two machines

i should do a minimal remix of the track, using just the
core sounds ;)

Ah! okay, all the more impressive! good reason to leave it
as is.. let the machines create their own little noisy
melodies.

I agree with EVOL and uviol about the synth melody thing. I
prefer music with more layers. Anyway it's a good tune!
