some experimental sounds

jan_umbra

Hi everybody
I've been messing around with some unusual sounds. not really songs, not even complete tracks, just enough to say "this is rather what it sounds like... I think..." so I thought I'd post two of them here.
hmm0composite is rather offensive to the ears, it's got a sort of beat, and heavy distortion. not quite sure what I was channeling there.
Village To Venus originally came from some lyrics I wrote, about someone flying from his village... all the way to Venus. one can only imagine how he accomplished such a feat. starts off with a folksy beat, degenerates into something wub-wubbyish.

Great stuff here dude, very cool sounds going on. I DL'd both these tracks and im going to give them both another listen, I enjoyed the sonics on them.

Top stuff, and I enjoyed these a lot. The sounds are unusual but really nice.

Hmm... Thanks Very Happy

I thought the lack of replies meant it was ear-crushingly bad. but your positive comments have given me some enthusiasm.

Yes, they do end abruptly, I just did these as samples for a sound, and then moved onto the next idea.

Here are two more. PARK is an eerie sounding track, starting off with some sort of string synth and going into some lfo oddness.
Asps Nest_5 is clearly 'inspired' by Basement Jaxx's Kontrol remix of Daft Punk's own Technologic. made a few similar sounds, put in some more wobbley bits. It was mostly fun to make the drop.

I might warn that there's nothing new to hear after the first minute of Asps Nest, the rest I was too lazy to cut off :/

Finally got some time to give a listen, cool!! Wobbly is an excellent descriptor. Cool

Yeah, i felt the same way when first coming to the site and not getting much feedback.....thinking, "oh god!! It must be incredibly AWFUL!!".....but after getting to know the atmosphere here, NO....folks can be a little reserved here, and it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the track.

Besides, what matters most is that you make music that you like, expressing your vision of whats makes good music. But yeah, not knowing reactions can be a downer when you're putting yourself out there.

Keep on doin what you do!!

Jan,
Forgot to mention yesterday,

Most of the feedback here happens in chat. When you post songs here, they often end up playing on the radio. EdisonRex has a weekly show that plays new tracks from the forum, and also songs also get placed on rotation when there's not live stuff going on.

BlueHell is the main reviewer/feedback presence in the forums. She also places songs in the radio playlist to get heard. The radio here is the usual method for most folks to hear new stuff.

The right people to appreciate your music are here, though.

Loving what I'm hearing! Right now Village to Venus is on...
Must have longer tracks and more of them. I'm enjoying it a lot - very unusual sounds and yet very pleasant to listen to
