Some of my music

Post Reply New Topic

Here are some links to some of the songs/snippets I've made. I tried to select ones that represented what styles I tend towards when I make music.

They Hunt Vampires in Texas - http://www.buzzmusic.de/index.php?id=5&action=details&songid=4571

I've been thinking about trying to make a release, for a long time. I get discouraged on various counts, but mostly because I don't think my music is that good. Anyway, let me know what you think if you give any of them a listen.

I go through cycles in music creation, for a couple of months I will make a good deal of songs, then for a few monthes will have dry spells where I'm just not in the mood. When it does hit though, I will sit for hours listening to a short loop on repeat tweaking different things, adding subtracting, etc, until something comes out of it. When I get in a stage like that I forget to eat, neglect sleep, and all that fun stuff. I don't know, it's almost like a trance and I'm not here, I'm in some place that exists yet doesn't and I'm not really myself. Odd, eh?

I like what your doing, they hunt vampires in Texas is just synths right? Because there was a comment that said it was guitar...

Is it mostly sequenced?

Yeah, They Hunt Vampires is just soft synths through effects chains trying to make it sound as close as possible to a real guitar as I could.

Well, it sounds better if you ask me, I just love my synths (not that I own any but I love messing around with the colleges Cubase).

How long does it take for you to write a song out of interest?

General, unless I go back to something, the most I'll work on something is about ten hours, if that. I have a bad habit of working for a while on a song and then just never going back to it.

So ten hours straight? Thats probably where I'm going wrong with my songs...

Yeah, with the occasional bathroom break/etc if I think about it.

Everyone works differently though, people have different styles of working. This just happens to be the way I tend to work. It's most likely not the best way.

Well I think I need to stop learning other peoples songs then and work on my own.

Is that "Prototype" by Outkast?

Loved em ! !

Some quality work here. Love some of the effects you used, especially on Always Too Much.

I really liked the Vampires one!

The others sounded good, but a bit too gloomy for my taste...

Not familiar with the song.

Jonny, AbominalSnoCone: Thanks, I'm glad you liked them.

AbominalSnoCone: That's odd. Normally I think my songs are gloomy but people tell me they are happy. Then I stare at them, lol.

That "Prototype" is off the "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" album. Since you don't know the album, I'm sure you don't know the song.

But, I'm willing to give your music a chance anyway.

I hope I enjoy it.
