New Stuff!

new stuff! yay!

so, since my last post, i have completed the song Laser Salad (previously named doum, doum, PESH!).  You can also find it on my music page.

I also figured out how to do sidechain compression in Ardour (not that hard at all, i'll do a post about it when i have time). so i threw together this cute little dance song which i should finish soon. you can check it out now on my soundcloud page, and soon it will be available for download once i'm done it.
enjoy!

where is it at... again

i have been on and off working on music for the past while, so i figured i'd give an update to where it's at.
so, firstly, remember artifact? well, after being so excited about finding an old copy of artifact, i got down to work on what was at the time called rampant (now called mercury). somehow in my subsequent excitement about it i lost the original file for Artifact again. stupid song. its like the symbol of bad organization. which reminds me. when i'm done with the session i'm currently working on, i need to move it into my "music projects" folder so i don't lose it. (yes, i have finally decided to be organized)
speaking of Mercury, that song is due to be finished soon. i'm hoping that my guitar-ey friend will be available this weekend, and if so then i'm pretty much done. i also want to clean up the mix a bit; at times i think it becomes a bit too "wall of sound"-ey for my taste.
as for Doppelgängster, i kinda lost sight of where that song is going. i'm going to let it sit for a while, and then maybe someday when i'm bored i'll pick it up and do something new with it. but, dubstep fans, fear not! i have another dubstep song in the works, one that doesn't suck nearly as much and hopefully will be awesome! it's pretty much ready for pre-release. its features some beats and stuff from my cousin Shayn, who is really into dubstep and was actually the one who got me into dubstep, as well as explaining, criticizing (constructively, of course), giving ideas, and generally being awesome. He also drums, and we're hoping to do more collaboration once we can afford a proper drum mic-ing setup. so. the song. currently named "doum, doum, PESH!", but, remember, Mercury used to be called rampant, and look what happened (as in, its name changed). yeah.
so that's about it right now. i hope to be posting some audio soon.

Rampant got a new name! and a new intro!

I have added an intro to Rampant, as well as some more effects. And renamed it Mercury. This is still a work in progress; i plan on adding some djembe and guitar fill in the beginning to spice it up a bit. i also plan on doing something to the end of the build-up around 3:25; i think the reverb stuff is a bit overpowering there. anyways, here's the track. its still being processed, but it'll show up when its done.
Mercury v. 0.4 by dn3s

update: soundcloud seems to be having some server problems, so it might be quite a while till you can hear this.

Doppelgängster v. 0.1!

i finally got Doppelgängster to the point where it's slightly listenable. i know dubsteppers generally hate trance, but i just couldn't resist; there's a little bit of trance-ey sound in the middle. whatever. let me know what you think; feedback, suggestions, comments, leave them either here in the comments page or on the soundcloud page for this song.

along with this, i have made some major changes to Rampant, and i'll upload it when i find the time. Rampant is still not done though; i plan on adding some guitar and hand drums, played by some of my friends to key parts of the song.

more work on rampant!

did some more work on Rampant. i don't know if its done or not, but its getting closer. i added a couple of bass synths, and went crazy with auto panning. here's where it's at now:

Where It's At

where is it at?  and what am i referring to as it?  all this and more after the break.

Work in Progress - Rampant v. 0.1

I've decided i will go with the 0.x release idea. Basically, 0.x releases won't be available for download, and won't be visible in the music page; only on blog posts and my SoundCloud page. but will be available for people to listen to and comment and suggest what could be improved upon. So: behold! Rampant v. 0.1!
Please let me know what i can do to make this better.
enjoy!
