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

|
|

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

everything sounds pretty cheap/boring to me. before you start doing more drum edits I'd work on a better melody or bassline or whatever you wanna call that thing that's playing in the background. it sounds like you just punched in some notes. and the sound itself is pretty cheesy and basic, it has no depth. how about some sound design first? there is more to music then just having weird beats. the second half is ok. but it just sounds like you're trying to hard. btw this is nothing personal |

How about a vocal line, try singing: "Tongue-tied, (I'm) short of breath, don't even try Try a little harder Something's wrong, you're not naive, you must be strong Ooh, baby, try Hey girl, move a little closer. You're Too shy shy Hush hush, eye to eye Too shy shy Hush hush, eye to eye Too shy shy Hush hush, eye to eye Too shy shy Hush hush Modern medicine falls short of your complaints Ooh, try a little harder You're moving in circles, won't you dilate Baby try Hey girl, move a little closer 'Cause, you're Too shy....... |

the thing is it's just a battle track. melody kind of has no place in it - the bassline is enough i think in that case. its just really supposed to be skeletal like that and then i control what gets played live. youll notice its split 3minutes evenly. what is cheesy about the sounds? just do not hit hard enough or,? bassline should have more notes im listening to that clap now and i not really feeling it. was a sucky choice and could you listen to this one too while youre at it? just did that one this morning too. thanks godel! |

I like the way you use the k in place of a c...sort of reminds me of skam. you know, skam, the label that releases work by... I'll listen after I have eaten. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the label that releases work by... you know i just realized that skam doesnt have mortal & chemist in their shop anymore - whats up with that? anyways, yes, swapping c's/k's is definitely only the work of skam and i am a copycat its cool i gues just keep in mind its a battle track not a song, when i play it live @ the next beat battle its just going to be insane all that shit's skeletal, like Zot just critisized the sound design i could use some advice on that, like, EQ, stuff,stuff,i dont know? i just realized im going to be late as hell for work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the bassline buildup is gonna start it off definitely |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so there aren't melodies in those battles? so, what do you actually do as the live part of them? (I'm just asking) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well people use melodies but youll usually get booed so i stay the fuck away from them. i keep it simple- crowds love really ugly basslines though that drop hard, usually the standout live part is just beat manipulation in response to the crowd,. besides triggering loops the mainstay is like in this song where i cut between 3 tracks that have stuff on them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how odd... I think I'd get really bored really quick at one of those things, but that's apparently just me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it'll be cool once i figure out how to send groups of midi, and like be able to turn off a bunch of stuff with a fader or a button and then hit another one for a fill, so i can be like, Du-Dooga-Dooga-Frrsstppaappaa Duugaduuga DuDUUGA ffRrsstaapaapa without having to use all the fingers on my hands but., yeah.there are guys who will perform actual songs that have like 32 bar buildups with no beats, and, yeah, it doesnt work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why would you get bored? :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I dunno what to say here. I think it would probably work in a live setting...not really listening music though and unless anyone here has exposure to the 'battles' you refer to I guess you won't get much helpful advice. |

well.. your songs are good (I actually have a few in my playlist), but they're also a bit tiring and you get a feeling of monotony if you listen to many in a row, so I never listen to lots of them in sequence.. I didn't figure they were intended to as they were random spams, but if you're ever doing an album, you definately need to expand your repertoire.. maybe get away from the laptop battles? anyway, if I was at one of those battles and it's all like this, I'd be out of that room in under three tracks... you should really learn how to play the piano.. you don't need to get super good, just play around with it and get a feel for it.. maybe read up on scales and techniques. I think it could add a new aspect to your music. |

I rather liked it. It never stayed exactly the same for too long - progressing quite nicely. It does have a pretty similar flow to recent autechre, but not really any more so that a lot of other music and this one certainly isn't bad at all. The only real critisism is that it sounds a bit flat. Not sure if it's the sounds used or that any particular instrument sounds exactly the same each time it appears. The end seems like the structure ought to continue in a groove and start layering with slight variations rather than continuing by simply varying, like it has done up till then. |

It's rubbish, and if anyone say's so it's their fault, not yours, obviously. |

your whole hostile/callous attitude is so fucking boring man. besides i thought you weren't gonna listen to it? |
||||||||

It's still rubbish. |

i dont get the concept of the battles... someone sets up a tune then you have to mix yours into it or is it just who so ever has the 'phattest beatz' wins? cos then its really just a battle of the bands but without any showmanship. below: GIS 'laptop battle' |

i have to submit this 200 word bio for the national laptop battle championships - wanna write it for me? |

>i dont get the concept of the battles... someone sets up a tune then you have to mix yours into it or is it just who so ever has the 'phattest beatz' wins? cos then its really just a battle of the bands but without any showmanship. you basically get 3 minutes in 4 elimination rounds to improvise whatever you can using software and midi, in the end its whoever's the most clever and inventive with , yes, 'phat beatz' |

is someone monitoring you to see what youre doing? do you get judged on that as well as crowd reaction? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah youre judged on how much you can get the crowd movin, the crowd is half of the show really cauz everyone goes nuts. judges watch what youre doing, yeah. for someone like me its hard not to monitor cause i do everything on the controller, i usually close the laptop lid |

Is that Howard Jones? |

im serious about the bio thing! it could be funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'd do it but I don't know if you'd like it, but if you were willing to take it in the good humor that it was intended then I'd be happy to do it. It could be good. |
||||||||
|

|
|
oh i know, thats the idea. the thing is though i don't think they'll put it on the site if it's way over the edge, so dont make it too bad i guess |

I'd be gentle, just with a few digs that the likes of qrter might guffaw at but otherwise would pass by quite harmlessly. |
