Hello...I have a new track I have been working on called
Polluted Dreams. Comments would be nice if you could
possibly spare me the time.

Linky

Thanks you all as always :D

Ah fucking hell. I downloaded it, it got to right at the end
and froze. SYMPROXYSVC.EXE went to 100% cpu usage for ages,
so I ended it. Tried to download again and it froze at the
start and now the buggering zebox claims I've downloaded it
3 times and refuse to acknowledge that IT'S WRONG

Thanks for trying anyway :D

You reckon it was the file causing the freeze or just your
comp?

It was my comp. One of my Norton products has this problem
with WYMPROXYSVC.exe causing it to take up all system
resources. I eventually deleted all trace of what it had
downloaded into the cache and tried again. And zebox let
me!

So... I like both the clicky percussion and the tuney
bits... though they sometimes seem to clash a bit together.
But on the whole, quite nifty! :) Me likes.

Well i thought that was very nicely done.
I only have one quibble with it, there for me wasn't enough
development, i felt the melody creeping about on the
background could have been layered and brought out more.

Oh yeah one more thing for that idea to work it needs to be
longer.

Still i thought it was a very nice i think you are starting
to become very good at what you are trying to do.

Keep it up : )

You shouldn't have gone to all that trouble just to listen
to my shit :P Thanks anyway.

The problem with the sounds clashing a bit is because my
headphone socket has started going funny and I have just
realised I have lost a chunk of frequency somehow. I didn't
realise that happened when headphone sockets got fucked :(

Thanks mister :D

I am still just pissing about with sounds and ideas at the
moment. I don't get as much time to do it as I would like
(but then again who does :D) but I am starting to feel a bit
better about getting the ideas out of my head.

Have you played with ableton ecnadniarb?

Started messing with it today actually...It seems amazing
for arranging loops and samples. I had a problem with one
of my VST's crashing it to start with so I am adding them
back into the folder one at a time.

I am thinking of trying to do a couple of old style techno
monsters to see if I can do them...I reckon it will be the
perfect package :D

I've just discovered it properly and it's brilliant for
moulding things. It's fun making your music normally, then
taking it somewhere else and fannying around.

Hopefully I will get some time next week away from
everyone...just me and my laptop and I will have a proper
fuck about it with.

morguean and r40f I really appreciate your comments, thanks
:D

Just downloaded....... the glitchy beat was very two
dimensional & doesn't do anything for me & kinda went on a
bit, I'm surprised that you made that the main feature of
the track to be honest, on the other hand I liked the
overall fat, rich sound of the pads & would have really
liked to hear a bit more of that.

Stick with it though man :D

just listened to "polluted dreams," stylistically this isn't
something that i would really enjoy. there isn't anything
to really hold onto, the twitchy percussion just jumps
around and obscures the softer sounds behind. i'd say, slow
the percussion down, but add more intricate detail to it.
and bring out and expand the softer melodic parts, and work
on more complete melodic themes. an interesting listen, i
interrupted the richard devine ep to listen to it, so maybe
that influenced my reaction.

I like the slow motion scratching or speeding up / slowing
down tape or whatever it is. Provides a nice contrast to the
skittery bits.

Oh and the EQ / mix is really interesting - keep using those
fucked up headphones. :D

i would agree with mr. skink for the most part (and some of
what mr. plaidzebra had to say). i do wish that the melody
was in the foreground. *shrugs* that's about it, though.
oh...except for a bit more development. it never even really
builds up to a big nothing. it just kinda stays the same
throughout.

yeah. i suck at this. anyways, work with it. i'd say it has
room for growth and it's already interesting, so.
yes...that's good? yes...i think. right. going now.

I like it (saved to xlt folder). Like the others said, bring
out the melody parts and it's perfect the way it is.

-P
