Strange new track

I've got a new track I've just finished, bit of an oddity,
it really doesn't seem to fit into any sort of normal
classification.

Cave Rave

In addition to comments on it, I'd appreciate people to
suggest what genre I ought to describe this as. Cheers.

Can't help you with a classification.. but I do sort of like
it!

i guess "cave rave" is a good title, it sounds like
something that cave dwelling critters might dance too.

hmm i like the little break down at 2'30 i like that little
melody, i wish it had more presence in the track.

i'd say it almost has an industrial sound but deff. not
traditional industrial. it actually reminds me of that
astrobotnia track with the "i want to kill everyone" sample
in it. (which is not industrial i know)

yep.
i have a new "strange track" as well in the thread titled "a
song for grandma."

heh.. just sayin.

Yeah, that breakdown is probably my favourite bit too :)

Maybe you've invented a new subgenre?
Ambustrialcore..?

Damn, that little breakdown is teasingly familiar, are you
quoting another track, or is it possibly one of those
weirdass absynth patches?

(I'm hearing Absynth all over the place since I started
playing with it)

well it is as it says, cave rave.
tribal cavern sounds bellowing around the cracks and corners
of the dark dimly lit walls. Modern electro beats set in
completely oxymoroning the atmosphere of the primordial
ambience and it blends.
It blends into wicked oddness. keep it up, ur pal Gwely

Yes, it's an edit on an existing absynth patch. There are
two other instances of absynth in the track, but the others
are less recognisable.

Ta Gwely :)

For one reason or another wirefm tends to be more or less
tricky for some users. The webmaster needs to quickly get
his shit together and fix it :)

Ceri i believe you made a wonderful track. I dont know about
the long term effects of this track but I cant really say it
was at all what i was expecting.... which is a good thing.

I've found that what music makers do today becomes
repetitive and boring. I think this is an interesting step
in a different direction. :)

Points: 5678 Status: Lurker



it's an instrumental version of a dark, electro-influenced
synth pop tune, i imagine a dave gahan sort of vocal.

not my cup of tea.

back when i was a total n00b to the board, bumping didnt
even cross my mind. what i did was make constant threads to
promote my music, which in turn pissed allot of you off. i
dont even like that music i was promoting anymore, seeing as
some of you informed me that there isnt really a market for
ambience. im currently working on some hardcore 1992ish
style techno.

Just as a tip, it's considered good netiquette (not here,
just generally) to not bump your own stuff constantly and as
consecutive posts; you should leave it a bit and ideally
have at least one reply between your bumps. If you bump
something four times and no one responds after each bump,
they probably don't want to look at it/comment :)

Also, if you put more than a couple of tracks up a day, keep
it to one thread... a lot of people ripped into promo for
making several seperate threads for his tracks recently. If
they'd all been in the
same thread, or a week or so apart, no one would of had a
problem.

Naturally, you can ignore this advice- it's not a "rule".
Just you'll probably find you get more replies if you stick
to them... if you wind people up, they won't listen to your
stuff out of spite :)

I'm doing a couple of early 90s type rave tracks as well as
illbient at the moment. I like Techno, so let me know when
they're done.

I'm not a major fan unfortunately. The sounds are muggy but
sort of lack atmosphere, the beat lacks drive and as a
result I lost interest in it pretty quickly. It could have
been quite a sinister track but it would really need to be
mastered better.

I think the bit around 3:40 would have sounded better with a
harsher stabbing bass instead of the mushy snare.

Obviously a lot is down to personal taste. :P

I know from your past comments that you really dislike
reverb/delay drenched synths :)

When it comes at the detriment of mood, melody and sound
quality then yes I do :P

The bad thing with overly using reverb is that it has the
effect of blunting everything in the track, making it sound
really dull and lifeless.

well while doing battle in quake 3 arena :)
