are you now, or have you ever been?
i've been up all night and morning making this. i haven't slept.
it's still not finished. and the mixing on it is probably shit because i've been using headphones due to not being able to listen through monitors, but constructive comments are appreciated.
btw, i think i put a bit too much LFO on the oscillator for my 202 :-s

The first part is good, nice buildup.. reminds me vaugely of Autechre's "Bike" off Incunabula.
The middle drags on a bit. Nothing much happening there.
Love the third section.. busts out with a fun little beat and BOCish melody.
Cool song.

thank you very much :)
incunabula has been a massive influence on my recent output, and i do try to get some BoC style 101 sounds in there when i can ;)
i wanna try and get my 909 in there somehow (not sure how yet), and i wanna get some more MachineDrum in there.
also i wanna get some more plinky autechre style riffs in there, and thicken up the part you mentioned (where it drags)
thanks for listening :D

i never really listened to autechre and i do not owe hardware so the most constructive comment id give is that i like your track even more if i think that you haven't slept making this
perhaps the BOCish sound you're talkin about, the pad that starts and ends the track sounds a bit "ahead" in the mix, some kind of deepness and/or distortion would do the job for this fuckin ears
gettin some more drums would be fine as well
keep up the good work

firstly, i would highly suggest listening to some autechre - you'll fit into one of two categories - you'll either love it or hate it :)
thank you for listening.
yeah the mixing is a bit dodgy, because i had to use headphones and i couldn't monitor through my speakers, but i think i did an ok job all things considered. i'm planning on adding some more drums, and thickening the melody parts.
at the moment there are the following tracks
1. microKORG pad 2. nord pad 3. nord plinky sound 4. nord arp bass 5. mc-202 (BoC sound) 6. (empty) 7. (empty) 8. (empty) 9. (empty) 10. (empty) 11. (empty) 12.TR-808 Bass Drum 13.TR-808 Snare 14.TR-808 HiHats and Maraca 15.MachineDrum ae clicks (left) 16.MachineDrum ae clicks (right)

I like it but think the build should happen faster. Lovely sounds.

This is awesome! It reminds me of some of the earliest songs me and a mate used to make, but mostly because of the sounds. If the detuned one that comes in towards the end is the one you thought you'd put too much LFO on (varying pitch?), don't worry: It works great!

i have to agree with all the reactions above here, though i'm quite dissapointed that it somehow ended kinda open. Right where i thought stuff was going to happen for sure, the song ended abruptly ! :( Anyways it was still a good track nonetheless, and i'm deffinatly looking forward to hear more new works from you.

Off topic, but I was passing Widnes yesterday and thought of you. I liked the track, but felt it could have built up sooner. I also think it would have been nice to have more of an outro. I particularly like the thing the hihat starts doing around 2.33 and overall the sounds used were good.

Drunken Mastah i think the 202 BoC style part was a bit too loud, so i just brought it in a bit more :) it's still there
Fah Yeah i kinda wanted it to end like that. maybe if i can figure out a better way to end it, i'll add the changes :)
Ceri JC did you leave Widnes with all your DNA intact? hah, that place has chemicals.
thanks for the comments on the hihats, i've been trying to improve my hat programming :)
ecnadniarb thanks for listening :) btw that's a fantastic textual rendition of a Widnesian accent
Grahf it's meant to make you feel sad, so if you did, then that's good. i started the track straight after hearing some bad news. i needed to keep my head occupied, and making music was the best way i could concentrate on other stuff.
Taxidermist heh the MC-202 was the first synth i bought, about 2 or 3 years ago now. back when i was in college i always wanted a Virus Indigo to be my first synth. oh well. i like the 202 anyways, although i'd prefer a 101 just for the fact that i can play a proper keyboard better than i can play a VL-1 keyboard!
alan8r hello there, i don't believe i've seen you around here, welcome to zilty and thanks for listening.
i am happy with the arrangement on this track, but i think the drums at the end need a solid snare beat, which might help give it finality
:)

At this rate you'll have a decent hardware gear track made in 2257. People that originally made this sort of music, just did it, they didn't keep making shit for years and years and years hoping they'd eventually get there. They might have made good music but not got recognised, but they didn't just go plink plink plink.. ohh.. add another bit of "gear" eventually I'll do something half decent.
It's nothing like fucking Incunabula. It sounds like a couple of notes played on a keyboard and a bit of delay, then something that sounds vaguely like a BOC-ish detuned synth from over 10 years ago and .. some drum machines. HAVE YOU HEARD ANY OTHER MUSIC? HAVE YOU ANY IDEAS?
Yeah I'm back to fucking have a go.
