I haven't posted a track for a while now, but I'm pretty
pleased with this.

Siberia (Altai Mix)

Comments/criticism welcome. Thank you for listening.

Since the last tracks on that CD were completed I've done
another track called "water (demo)" that I think is pretty
good, but that is on xltronic vibes 7 (so everyone
should have it ;).

The only other one I've ULed (I'll put it back up now) was
made as a birthday present for Tibbar. The other stuff is
mainly long ambient tracks too big for Zebox to accept (I
should get around to putting them on my mp3.com site). I've
got a couple of new Illbient pieces too, but I don't like
them enough to UL them.

Other than that I've got a load of drum and bass tracks
(which will probably be released autumn/winter next year,
one way or another) which I want to master properly before I
make extracts of them available.

I've started a new resolution to finish at least 10 (this is
the first) of the 200 or so unfinished tracks on my HD
before starting any new ones, so I should have some more
stuff to UL soon.

If you've got horsePiano you've probably already got
"Vanilla Hub"?

Vanilla Hub is now available at my MP3.com site.

There's also another old track there (a remix of a track by
Flea) called "UTFM (Quenched Mix)", the full name of which
is Unquenchable Thirst For Milk (Quenched Mix). I know
you're not a fan of V. Snares type stuff so you may not like
this.

Ha ha, it's actually a really old track from before Snares
was as famous as he is now (certainly before I'd DLEd
anything by him at least).

I recommend Silo ATp2003 mix... the other stuff is pretty
dated, just put up for titsworth. If you like any particular
tracks let me know and I'll put similair ones up for you. I
think I did check out one of your tracks a while back, but
I've not heard any of your recent stuff. I'll go and add em
to my favourites and check 'em out tommorow night.

Tibbar, I'm glad you like it... I must admit it does find
its way into my "sleeping" playlists with alarming
regularity. :)

more or less there.

this track is FUCKING superb - i dig the mix of fly beats
and stellar ambience. Quite a chillout and plenty of good
variety - nice layering too.

stellar - i'm downloading another now.

Cheers mate :)

I did the synth line about a month ago and was really
pleased with it... was considering having it purely as a
SAW2 type thing, but I stumbled across a breakbeat that
seemed to fit it and I re-arranged it, added a drum machine,
generally fiddled etc. to get it as it is.

*puts on repeat*

ill have to give it further listens to give a full report of
my findings

btw, are those oriental instrumentations i'm hearing
intermittently in the track? (violins etc)?

Points: 23533 Status: Moderator | Followup to tibbar: #00934489 | Show recordbag



Tibbar: Yes, the end bit is my favourite too... took almost
as long sorting out the last 2 bars as the whole of the rest
of the track.

Oddioblender: Its a slightly EQed violin, playing flats and
sharps- hence the oriental sound :)

I'm off to bed now guys, but feel free to post any comments
and I'll check in tommorow.

Thanks to the folks who listened!

I was so engrossed in reading my book, Tolstoy's "the
resurrection" (neglected it for the past week) that all I
heard of your track was the cymbal crash at the end! :D

I will pay more attention next time I listen to it I
promise!

tibbar's birthday snooze is beautiful.. i can even hear some
breathing (snoozing?), too, nice touch

your new trip-hop track is beautiful too.. the drum patterns
are a little bland and the synth strings are a bit too early
massive attack-ish but as a whole it works well and i like
it.. nice mark snow x-files-ish little sounds

very nice man

I like the melodies and chords

good choice of sounds too

the panning on the drum kinda does my head in... its kind of
akward imo... (esp with headphones).

but then again, im not a big fan of hard pans... makes a
part sound empty sort of. I dunno.

But I also like the last little drum outro at the end...
unpexted, but pleasent

now, I think you just need a tight bassline.

I think it would really tighten up the track and make it
more dynamic.

But its very good! These are just my personal ideas...

Cheers mate!

siberia is a very pretty track! but it seems so short at
about 2 and a half minutes. and it feels like it ends rather
abruptly, like you just said 'fuck it, it ends NOW!'. hehe.
it's good though

Bump for the "day people" and to answer questions :)

Tibbar: Yes, I sort of finished it quickly so I could give
it to you for your BD and intended to go back to it and do
another mix of it, but I like this version too much now and
don't wanna change it :)

Titsworth: Tibbar's Birthday Snooze - Without wishing to
sound smug, I made all the sounds in it from one
synth patch running in series through an fx chain, even the
breathing/snoring comes from the same bit as the melody. It
wasn't an accident either... I tried to get it to "snore"
and succeded :D

Marlowe: Thank you for the in depth comments... Perhaps I
should consider turning down the cymbal volume? :P

X-tomatic: Cheers man! I've been doing computer/electronic
music for about 5 years on an off, but I started doing it
"seriously" (as in how often I do it, not how much pride I
have in it!) almost exactly two years ago. Unfortunatley,
all my stuff prior to those two years was lost so all my
early noodlings are not around anymore :(

Zeus: Yes, the panning on the drums is something I was
unsure of. It does annoy me a bit on 'phones, but I like it
on speakers. The panning on them was originally a lot harder
(it's now in about 1/5 of the stereo range it pans...)
Cheers for the comment about the bassline, I'm intending to
do at least one remix of it so maybe it'll find it's way in
there! BTW, what does "christ. gotta lay off the hard stuff"
refer to? You been doing coke before listening to tracks
again? ;)

Dozier: The remix should take care of the "length problem"
(oo er missus!)

It occurs to me that I still haven't gotten around to
recording (or even scoring)vanilla hub as a 3 part violin
piece. My only mate who's any cop at violin is an idle git
and agreed to help do it about a year ago... I can play
myself, but I haven't for about 8 years so I may be a little
rusty to say the least.

Thanks for your listening and comments guys, much
appreciated!

also very Aphex, nice one Ceri

It's called Pharzyde, it's one that comes with Reason. The
version of it in my track sounds very little like it... it's
all pitched up, re-arranged, fxed etc. (so much so that I
had to check the altai file to check the name- the pharzde
break on it's own sounds v. different)

Nice and kinda BOCish! Maybe the string patch and the drums
sound a little too raw the way they're mixed clean and
upfront compared to the other sounds which are muted and
effect-heavy.

Oddioblender: Track comments as promised!

Vladimir's Chopshop
I think this was my favourite of the tracks... the intro was
nicely reminiscent of traditional folk (although it's
russian it made me think of an English medieval bard). The
rhytm of the accompanying percussion was good, but I felt
the sound to short (sounds almost like speaker click) and
oddly flat. Other than that I like everything about the
track. Especially the chemical brothers style acidy "forward
and back" synth later on in the track that almost sounds
like scratching (records).

Average Joe
I'm not a fan of military music anyway, but I felt the
rhythm of the main melody was too repetative for a track
this long.

Joe Vs The Machine Part one
Dunno why, but I only got the first 8 seconds of this...
unless you're doing a "horsePiano" (see Titsworth's comment
further up the thread) something has gone wrong here :-/
Still, it's a good intro and makes me think of an imminent
boss battle in a videogame.
