ok - someone else suggested this - but i will initialize it we are gonna be holding a small break contest - just make your best 1 minute or less breakbeat/drum solo and submit it - each participant can submit as many as they wish - but please dont submit your life's work we can decide about voting and whatnot later - lets just get some breaks in here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are 'breaks'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool i'm up for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fast, funky drum beats - think speedy funk music - vsnares and similar artists use breaks often i basically just mean complicated drum patterns - it doesnt have to fit any particular style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any other requirements? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does "break" mean taking any fairly short looped beat and then "breaking' it into smaller bits and rearranging them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is my first acoustic entry - drums only (completely sequenced in fruityloops) and is an example of my amen stylings in a "remix" of sorts, of Handel's Messiah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no other requirements w M w - i dont mean to refer to anything in particular - you are free to whatever you want - if you wish to slice samples you may |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is an example of my slicing skills on a sample of the break squarepusher uses in Come on My Selector - fitted to a digital rendition of a Sonata in C by Mozart |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually have nowhere to post mine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not try a account? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
No more free memberes due to over capacity. |

dude thats not what a break competition is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
break competition: some one uploads a break somewhere (not of their own making, a found break like the amen, worm, apache etc.) then people download it and see what they can do with it. the person who's voted to have done the coolest, most original thing with the break wins |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and we all have a wank. |

your "first accoustic entry" track was interesting to see how someone else fiddles around with stuff... it did seem like something that a live drummer could almost play which means it didn't really take advantage of the computer's composition abilities ie. you could work at a finer grain of time or make sure all the sounds end in time with the tempo etc. also the mp3 was 35 seconds long with 30 seconds of silence. My favorite complex drum track I've made is probably "4rooms4walls (artificialselectionremix)" at http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/wmw/ ... but for some reason when I load iuma.com now there's no scroll bar to the right...?? I'll make another one right now or fairly soon too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suppose that his "first accoustic entry" could be used as the break here then. Only drum sounds from that break can be used and preferably in a drumish way, not changing it to melody or something with miniature loops? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was meant to sound like a real drummer - as it was for a hardmetal band project i was working on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok i have two things that i have created i need someone to host them for me now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds like a good idea ok - lets try that out then, everyone takes my acoustic demo and see what you can do with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imagine making a completely new track out of single grains of another track which are chosen cos they resemble little bits of a completely new track you just made... like those posters of people made out of tiny pictures of other things... it would sound like complete shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
skink try iuma.com or soundclick.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True, that sounds stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's interesting but the reason I don't think that would work steve is because we see light on a surface as two dimensional and we percieve music in time as basically one dimensional (ignoring that sound travels in 3-d space, it's just that we can only recieve it one soundwave at a time and then mentally assemble it in a single line (also ignoring we have 2 ears that hear stuff in slightly different times depending on where the sound is coming from))... so ... there's much more space available in a picture for that to work and we can see it all simultaneously at once to assemble it all together. |

Dammit those sites are a pain in the arse, can somebody offer me a simple solution? Please... |

ooh xltronic breaks competition, gives a new meaning to the expression 'northern soul' (or 2 left feet..?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
2 left feet! hee hee, exactly. It would be soo much more enjoyable if there was some soul in this mathmatical nonsense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but on the topic of funky breaks, have you heard the madlib blue note album? when i'm not listening to the new outkast and new lfo that's what's on. it's amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Constructive critism people >: | Nob I thought it was alright : ) You should go back and master it, It was very low in volume. That was my only beef, Keep up the good work ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

Here's my entry: Typical drum and bass fare, but slow enough to hear the detail. Comments welcome. |
||||||||

|
|
I don't know if you guys will dig this or not but whatever... I tried to keep it as short as I could so please don't dock points for length : ) |
||||||||
|

|
|
Cort...don't take this the wrong way...I know you are only 16 and everything...but how many people to you really expect to fool with those 'breaks'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're the only person who has done your entry the way I would have done it, everyone has put in a track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Decent stuff once again...be careful of getting to involved in the beats and losing the music though :P nobs I didn't like your track at all. Sorry :) |
||||||||

good to see some people are starting to submit breaks - and i dont really care what people are using for their breaks - so it wasnt really a decision i made- just an implication of wMw's suggestion. honestly people - whatever you want to submit is fine - as long you are showcasing some break skills |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
brain like i said i knew i was crap breaks arent my stong point but have something else im working on something with effort :) |

You lose by default as your track is not DLable. |
