titch thomas Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Contrast between the lush, Mr. Fingers-y bass and the radio filtered hats in the second one is quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoeB Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Contrast between the lush, Mr. Fingers-y bass and the radio filtered hats in the second one is quite nice. I'm going to provide a counterpoint here... So we've got the dreamy resonant bass and filter sweeps, like Mr. Fingers or maybe even FUSE... and juxtaposing it, the harsh, brittle hi-hat. In theory, that's a really neat idea, but in terms of actual execution, the hi-hat's a bit too harsh to pull it off. Just level it slightly quieter, or EQ it slightly less harsh, maybe... So this one time I was in hospital for a week, drifting in and out of consciousness, I had this album I'd listen to, RH-8SB. I love that album. I'm not sure how many there are like it. The closest I have is The End of Tel Aviv, also fantastic. Is this a genre? Ambient glitch or something? Anyway, I'd totally recommend listening to those. They pair the dreamy ambience with distorted nastiness, but it's done in a really nice way, with the nastiness being subdued, not overwhelming. They'd make good reference material for this pleasant/harsh dichotomy you're going for. You could probably stand to add another layer or two as well, but that's probably more a personal choice. :) This is kinda funny in that I think this is the first time where the music could be drastically improved with the engineering of the mix, whereas most people making electronic music seem to think that's the case when usually it's more an issue with the music itself. Anyway, I love the juxtaposition here, and think you should experiment more with it, especially taking great care to get the balance just right. In my experience, music is usually all about balance.

mushroom Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 :D simple housey jam https://soundcloud.com/th555/reainn I like this one. Maybe a little heavy on the distortion, perhaps, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th555 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Heh you're right, got carried away a bit with Blockfish. It's a nice way to make messy jams sound consistent though, I've found.. @Zoe, thanks for the nice comment, good points. Oh and here's a glitchy edit of an older track https://soundcloud.com/th555/wambo-smurf-mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwired Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 half sqeep is a really really nice track, the release between notes seems to keep my ear, and in itself the pads are very relaxing. The gritty hi hats provide a nice reflection to the pads. I also love the way you finished the tune, I was actually expecting a simple fade out. I was delighted with the ending. I love simple tunes, that have sweet little ending, or midpoints. Along the lines of BOC's Happy Cycling (when the tunes breaks a few minutes in) and Orbitals Adains (from Insides, it breaks about again 4:03). Well done.The other two I did'nt enjoy, I couldn't get to the end of them. There's an irritating low level osculation in Schlieroglyph that goes through me, and MeoZe Vena pitches so high in points it irritates my ears. The flager on the high hat make the hi hat sound a little too thin for me. But massive kudos on "half sqeep" I really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GateFour Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 6/8 track is really cool... the distorted stuff is a bit too much for my taste i love the fact that you have such a large variety of styles in your tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sponge Wiggler Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 half squeep is a fun song, that's an interesting idea of using noise to make messy jams seem more purposeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I really like Schlieroglyph. It has an off axis quality I'm usually attracted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
