Least Offensive Music.
Cut up, found sound stuff. Dark Electro with Jittery Breakbeats made from coins being dropped on the table. I recorded the crows in the canyon near my apartment. Fairly moody sounding stuff.
Automatic.
Discordant Acid Electro. Sliced and diced tb303 knob tweaks with sliced and stuttered beats. Track elvolves into an ugly/pretty adventure in bum notes and found sounds.
Rain Tonight.
Abandoned track. Vocals over a breakbeat thing. More commerical and clubby sounding, I guess. I need to do something with those damn drums, but this kind of thing isn't what I like to write anymore.
Anyway....

Least Offensive track:
I like it, the high freq. ticking is sounds like an old aphex twin track, called "ON".
Great work. Short, minimal, but full of feelings.
Automatic:
until 3:50 its too minimal for me, but after that I like the leads and the whole stuff.
Rain Tonight:
The drums sounds asskicking good. The bassline too. This is track is the best for my taste from that couple of tracks. The gated accords are great too. Nice job.
best regards,
woland ex

Abstract madness, very well done! Love that dark opening. Even the crows are scared to shit I guess
automatic:
Another day in the borg-factory, supervisor droid controlls the manufacturing process with his 303. They hate him. Plan rebellion. They fail. Again. The reversed 303 sample laughs at them, but they dream about freedom every day.
rain tonight:
Listening. Nice drums. Nice bass. Too flabby hihats I think, but that doesn't matter. It is great is some respect, and in the other it points to the direction of your other tracks. Sort of "good bye dancefloor, wellcome darkness". But still it is good on its own right.
Solid stuff!

Least Offensive Music - was a bit disappointed with the shortness; good track but it ended just when I thought it should be kicking in!
Automatic: Yeah, cool - no messing around with an intro, straight into it! Actually, reading Woland's comments, this reminds me of the newer stuff that Aphex Twin has put out, the 'Analord' series. Pad sound that kicks in ~4.00 is excellent, works really well with the 303. Really like this one!
Rain Tonight: Less keen on this, but works well I think. I like the bassline. Vocoded (?) vocal seems to dominate everything when listening on lo-fi stream, can't tell if it's a level or EQ issue (or I could be talking bollocks!).
Overall really good work - keep it up.

but damn you, i wanted to do a crow laden track and now you've ruined it. I have a couple circling around my lair and wanted to record them, but haven't got enough lead to reach the kitchen, grrrr.
good stuff

Long time, no see! Thanks for your comments - Most appreciated!
I'm going to extend Least offensive music out to about 6 mins or so. I want to take it into really
dark and heavy territory. At the minute, it's light and skittery. Electro sounding. I want it to
evolve into something thick and really doom laden.
Automatic was just me dragging the 303 out on a whim last Saturday. I haven't used it in ages,
so I had to dust it off and get tweaking. A fun mess around that became a full track, really. I kept
it minimal until the end to give it a kind of payoff. Again, kinda Aphex influenced with cut ups
happening, but more nods and winks to '80s Electro.
Rain tonight is a track I just got my vocalist to sing over a little loop I had going. I just got a
short, hooky phrase. I agree that the hats are too washy. I need some little ticks in there, really.
Something dancefloor friendly. It's in need of a mix, but I just wanted to get it out there. I'm
probably not going to pursue this style of music anymore, but it was fun doing it.
nutoniom - I PM'd you about shiip. Really dark track. Nice stuff. I've done a bunch of crow
tracks. I bloody love crows, me.
Thanks again, all!

automatic got me straight away cos i'm a sucker for that 303
Rain Tonight, great rim/snare sound, cracking! - best mix for me of all of them, very nice mix, great retro-y crossover electro/techno-trance... why abandoned?

You sent me a private message or something, but I can't read it....
Was it just a test or something?
I'm going to extend least offensive!
I'm glad people like it enough to be upset with its shortness!
Yeah, Automatic. I just had to use the 303. It's a crime that it doesn't get used that often.
I'm surprised you like the snare sound in rain tonight. It always bothered me for some reason.
It's abandoned as a general style. It was just a dabbling in clubby breakbeat stuff on a whim. I
guess it was too 'trendy' a while back, or something. I'm trying to avoid getting sucked into
passing trends. I guess it could be a side project along with my older stuff, but a little cheesy for
me these days. I'm glad people like it, though. My main work is now electro/techno and
industrial crossovers, along with more experimental electro tracks (like the others on my page)
I'm drawn to the darker stuff.
Thanks man!

The message is really old.... My bad. It was sent in 99!
It's entitled "xdfgdzfgdzf", so I'm guessing it's a test or summat....
Um, that's 7 years ago!
I should check my PMs more often! ;)2nd mouse: U2? Why you little... I haven't heard much U2, so I dunno if that's a compliment or
not. Bono is a prick though...
Ta for listening!
Message 16/16 01-Jun-06 @ 04:17 AM - RE: Least Offensive Music
automatic's got a tight loop thing going with the 303... I kind of would go into the realm of staying with ryhthymic elements. The pad type sound was too much creepy.
rain tonight: mix needs help, but it's alright. not my thing.
