Mistayke posted:I know no one is really listening to these from here, but I feel good posting them. I don't see many hits from here on my Soundcloud stats. I'm slowly working my way backwards thru the thread... I'm listening to all y'all (when not working on my own poo poo)! I'll be frank: not my cup of tea genre-wise, but I can appreciate some quality production/mixing/composition, and you got that in spades, friend.  Drink-Mix Man posted:A little quirky electronic instrumental I was working on: This is a bit more up my alley, and also nicely mixed and interesting to follow. My husband liked it, too! Actual conversation: : What are we listening to? Goon stuff. It's Drink-Mix Man. ... He does really funny photoshops, too! ... I'll take your word for it. I do like this, though.Ah, the goon vs. non-goon relationship.

I was bored and threw this together over the past couple of days, and it was somewhat inspired by a cheezy 80s horror movie I recently watched called Brain Damage. I actually used my Minibrute 2 on this track. https://soundcloud.com/the_door_is_scary/my-buddy-aylmer

2DCAT posted:My newest EP was just released! Wow, that's really good! Everything from the synths to the vocals.... your Bandcamp cites Depeche Mode and New Order as influences, and it was right there, I thought that before I even read that. Well done! My husband's a big 80's synthpop guy, can't wait to play it for him when he gets home. Out of curiosity, do you get people buying the whole discography package, and how did you come up with a price? I've been considering doing a deep-discount deal and offering that for all of my 15 albums/EPs on Bandcamp. (Also do you tour? I'm in Virginia and know some promoters who might get in on booking you, since you're "right up the road", relatively speaking)

My husband's a big 80's synthpop guy, can't wait to play it for him when he gets home. Thanks! 100% disco packages are worth doing imo especially if you have as many releases as you do. A large number of folks discover stuff and then decide to buy it all. Bandcamp offers to give discounts from a drop down. Something like no discount, 5%, 15%, 25%, and maybe 35%. I think I went with the one they recommended? Yes, we tour! Due to our industry ties, we usually do things at friends bars rather than the more traditional route, as neither of us have many connections in the live music scene. I'd offer the same, but you can probably do Dr Clocks (or what the new place is) fairly easy on your own. I miss the noise/ebm/industrial scene

Mistayke posted:POST YOUR TOP THREE PERSONAL FAVORITE SONGS THAT YOU WROTE/PERFORMED (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER). Haha holy poo poo man, this is a goddamn challenge here. Since I have 3 active solo projects, I’ll pick one from each. Can’t say these are my favs since I write the soundtrack to my life and favorites change constantly, but these 3 represent some serious moments of my life. the:pawn.project - black spirals. Trip hop influenced darkness. Slothful Bong - Descent. 5/4 time sludge? Not sure genre, but it’s heavy af. YOUNG JAGUAR - snow trek. Synthwave? Electro? Tripwave? I dunno lol. Was one of my first songs to incorporate motifs from another, leading to a bunch of newer songs referencing old ones in a way I’d never done before.

It's been 1 year I started posting my modular jams online but there are already a few I'm still proud of despite getting always better with the gear over time. Also I just bought an end of chain compressor and I can already say this changes the quality drastically, more new tunes incoming Bells: first time I made a tune around a looped sample. Should do it more often https://soundcloud.com/gautier-gillon/bells Ballade: because it's a more light-hearted tune than the rest and I should also go for that more often https://soundcloud.com/gautier-gillon/ballade Dilemma: because it's my first techno track I feel is getting close to something really polished and that could be played in a set https://soundcloud.com/gautier-gillon/dilemma

Ooof, lots of stuff to listen to! But that's great, because I sorely need to sort laundry and clean up my desk area in my room. I find myself getting into music more when stuck with tedious busy work. It's like my left brain says "time to clean", so my right brain says "time to lean". I'll also try to play along, but with 15 album/EP releases on Bandcamp spanning 20 years of work, picking three's gonna be tough!

So I listened to a whole buncha stuff last night as promised --- holy crap! We should put out a goon compilation album. I'll help mix it down to normalized volume levels and do album art, set up a Bandcamp so we can share any monies coming in. BUT... my cat is dying. He's 17 years old and has the cancer, so it's a matter of days until I make that horrible call to that last trip to the vet. So I'm a bit of a wreck, but I wanted to thank you all for giving me something to distract myself with while I go through this. Anyways, here's a song/video featuring him, Fitz, aka "Tubby" because pre-cancer he was a total "oh lawd he's comin'" sized cat. I adopted him from a shelter in 2003. The track is chopped almost entirely from a kids' vinyl LP called "Tubby the Tuba", which had scratches all over it and skipped exactly on beat, much to my delight --- and the fact that I called Fitz "Tubby" as a nickname. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dktoM5UiqW8

2DCAT posted:Cats are the best and I'm sorry Thanks, 2D. I could use a little help financially, so if any of y'all like my tracks, feel free to buy 'em on Bandcamp.(I know begging is verboten on the forums, so I'll eat a probe for this, but I just want to make sure my cat can get a decent send-off.)I took notes while listening last night. Here's what I have as my first impressions, for what they're worth. Mistayke 1. Put in food terms: I like the texture, but the flavor doesn't do anything for me. Still, I can appreciate a well-executed track, which this is. Like, I don't care for strawberry ice cream, but I can tell a well-made ice cream even if it's strawberry and not pistachio. 2. Liking this one better. Again, your layering and textures are really nice. I tend to clog up my compositions,; yours are nice and airy, which fits the feel. 3. I like the slower pace and water-y synths. Like watching ocean waves come in Brawnfire 1 .Melancholy lo-fi, just how I likes it. Fits my mood of late. 2. Holy production jump! Still minor key. And your voice is lovely. God I wish I could sing.Or play guitar. Or do something besides beeps and boops that sound like a Casio in a washing machine. 3. Short'n'sweet, ain't nothing wrong with that (see my latest release) Slothful Bong 1. Big ol “ooooOOOMMMM” sweeps, clicky stuff that sounds like digital insects, and now let's throw a piano in. Do I have a long-lost sibling? This is extremely my jam, and I'm gonna check out the rest of this album later. 2....Yep, we are related. hosed up time sigs and detuned chugga-chuggas. Checkin' this one out, too. (And still wishing I could play guitar. Bass, actually.) 3. Man, you're like a Visa card: everywhere I wanna be. I like the concept behind this one, but something's lacking... could be bias after hearing the other 2 first , but it seemed sorta... sterile? Just my 2c, as always. im_sorry 1. I gotta give this one another listen because I had to poop in the middle of it. I can still kinda hear stuff from the adjacent bathroom, but that's not a fair listen. 2. Can't go wrong with me with what sounds like toys or cheap rear end drum machines being sampled for beats. Simple lil' melody that suddenly goes all Beavis “Yeah! Yeah! Rock!” 3 .Nnnrnrrgg, loving those dissonant sweeps. They're doing this weird thing where they sound familiar yet totally alien --- with me, that's a good thing. This one goes into rotation. So Math/Jocko Homomorphism 1 . Scratching that DEVO itch with a tinge of MSI thrown in. Extremely blessed. 2. Not a fan of vidja game style music, but if you are, you could certainly do worse! Plus I have never heard of “shmup” as a genre, and now I have. Learning is fun! 3. Again, well-crafted, but just not what I twas expecting when you said “house”. That could've tainted my listening. I'm an old fart with 90's NYC house mixes on cassette tape, so take my review as you will. It's like a 90's house song had a baby with a gaming console. Might be your bag!

I'm still too hosed up to pick my Top 3 Tracks, but here's one I made when I had to send my old black cat Bela to that big litter box in the sky 15 years ago. It's a bittersweet track; I love it for what it is musically, but drat do I miss that fat rear end cat so it's hitting me straight in the feels right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl6d-i8G8EM

I liked the springy noises and feedbacky static stuff. I always like that poo poo. This was dark and moody. Nice. Really dig the haunting piano later on. Descent, eh, it's kind of metalish? Sadly metal's not my cup of tea but they are some tasty riffs. Effort recognized! Snow Trek was kind of slow and plodding to me at first but the adventure really pays off. The end is really cute, I don't know how else to put it.

God drat there’s a lot of goon music! Got to as many of you as I could tonight. And I’m in for any cat fundraiser. My cat influences nearly all of my music now, and a loss of her would be heartbreaking Mistayke- The mixing on Laid Back Front and Center is nice and crisp, even though SoundCloud. Not entirely my type of jam, but it sounds fantastic! Brawnfire- I dig your playing on little stitch, sounds really sweet all around and gives me a nice warm nostalgia. im_sorry- Taking a cute photo of my tortoise: Lol when the drums come in, this is so not what I expected. Good job at keeping me hooked. So Math - You nailed the shmup thing so perfectly on Flight-700. The wild vibrato, the insanely fast pace and weird power metal feel. It rocks! SpaceGoatFarts - Bells is right up my alley. I saw Caterina Barbieri and Tim Hecker last year in Amsterdam, and this gave me the same vibes as that show. Felt like I was along for the ride, seeing where your sounds would take my mind. Really appreciate everyone who gave my stuff a listen too! I’m deep in some weird super low tuned metal thing right now tbh, so probably not everyone’s cup of tea. But if I’m able to figure it out, I’ll be combining that with my electronic stuff to make something even stranger! Slothful Bong fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Feb 29, 2020 |

I'm late but here's my three favorite tracks: White Shoes in Sharp Lights- https://soundcloud.com/overnightmike/white-shoes-in-sharp-lights This jam has some great guitar tone and is definitely some of my best playing on all of my main instruments. The drums have a bounce to them that I love. It took a great many takes to get them right. Climb, Climb- https://soundcloud.com/overnightmike/climb-climb Self indulgent psych jam. Some of the playing and recording lacks polish, but at its core is an idea that I love, a simple jam on a cool scale that builds through four different phases that have trade off each other. If you give up after the guitar solo its ok, so did I. Live a Little- https://soundcloud.com/overnightmike/live-a-little Pure post rock. Lots of good layers and neat sounds. Good dynamics. This thing came together so spontaneously, it feels like I hardly wrote it. 2DCAT that new release is very good!

So I have this silly project as an old-school melodic, hands-up trance DJ called MAX 2002. It's really just for fun and absolutely second-degree, but I'm about to play in a club for actual money next saturday and I'm super excited! I've been wanting to get my rear end off the chair and make an actual track for a while, and I plan to debut this at the club. That's why the mastering/mixing might not be great on your listening device ... it's supposed to be adapted to a live venue: https://soundcloud.com/max-2002-original/star-stuff/s-wYIyz I'd love to get a bit of feedback on it. It's supposed to be old-school sounding trance with a touch of modern techno. If you check out the mix on my Soundcloud you'll get an idea of the stuff I play
