thanks for the feedback for those who did. i was a little
dissapointed that only two people said anything, so a big
extra thanks to those who did. and something off-topic that
sort of caught my attention. i'm a little suprised that alot
of people think autechre is going down hill. i think
confield is their best release and i think that they
generally get better as time goes by. i'm not a huge fan off
the older stuff, my strong liking usually comes in around
chiastic slide / envane and such. although vletrmx21 is
amazing. i was just kind of suprised, but it's my opinion
and it's probably because of what region of music i came
from before i got into idm, but who knows. well anyway,
thanks again for the feedback.

pentyharmonium, about what you say about ae: i couldn't
agree with you more. i really like the way their music has
progressed and i'm verrrrry eager to get their next release
(ohhhh, the Long Wait).
d/l your music btw (like that picture there:))

listening to it now...
i like the beginning, nice flowing 'bells' sound, maybe it
would be better if the rhythm sounds were less obvious; .
hmm, it doesn't really evolve which isn't nessecarely a bad
thing but with this track i miss some changes in the music
imo. oh! wait-a-minute here comes the last part. hm, don't
really like that, now the sound becomes too 'cheepo
synthy'...
d/l-ing the 2nd track

getting four people to listen to your tracks while this is
the only thread you've posted in is pretty good going -
normally, noone would respond.

anyway..

"first post" - the bells are nice, although repetitive and
static, so they become kind of boring quickly. the track
lacks direction. the percussion is overall pretty bad - you
need to drop it and try to redo that, imo. try to make your
own drumsounds - sound like pre-set drum sounds to me. they
are just too bland.

"second post" - I like these bell sounds much more. the
percussion works better here too - only after about 20
seconds you kind of drop back into that lull of a percussion
you have in "first post" too. I just don't hear the purpose
of the percussion here. you could drop it alltogether and
the track would only get stronger. you could use the high
tone that you repeat already, as a kind of "marker", thereby
creating a rhythm.

don't be afraid to NOT have percussion in your track.

in general, it sounds to me like you haven't really made
clearcut choices. this results in the tracks missing
direction, thereby missing a kind of tension. you can hear
this mostly in that both tracks are too long, imo.

finally - like the overall hiss through the tracks. is that
on purpose, or do you have dated equipment?

ooh. I've written a bit of an essay.

I like that picture of you. ;)

*listening now*

Not bad. :) I dont know anything about music making. I dont
really like how the drums go with the bells, but I like the
bells a lot with the high hat (?) sounds. Heh, see, I cant
do this. I cant identify anything at all. Im stupid.

I should just stop.

Oooh here we go. I like the first one about 2:25 into it.
Thats really nice. :) This niceness continued til about 400,
then I got lost. ;) Interesting... *turns down computer
because my dad is trying to sleep*

thanks qrtr for the feedback, in depth as well. thanks
lindsey for the feedback as well and the note over at
diaryland. and regarding the hiss, it's definitely because
of outdated equipment.

Youre welcome. :)
By the way, I liked the second on too, but either it ended
abruptly or something in my computer crashed and I couldnt
hear all of it. :| I liked what I hear though, but I was
confused by the ending. Maybe it was just too late at ngiht
for me. ;)

Take care! :)

Nice entrance to the board m8, I liked the songs although
the bells on the 2nd song were kinda tearing at my lame
speakers.
