This is a mixture of a variety of styles that I like.
This is the near-final draft. I will only be adding some minor subtle elements later this year.
But I really hope you like this tune as much as I do.
I tried really hard to make this tune moody and interesting.
There are a few little surprises in it too.
As usual, it's a free download.
Peace

This is quite good. A variation on the wobble bass that's seemingly a dear thing to additive synthesis enthusiasts. The use of various tones in instruments does not disrupt the main thread. I haven't heard yet your other material, so this is the first one. I'm listening now to "Peace in Korea" which also comes across pretty good as far as maintaining a thread through tonal variations. Both pieces are inviting which is very nice.
Cheers.

Wow, thank you very much for such a heartfelt review. I really appreciate your deep musical analysis.jonetsu wrote:This is quite good.

I am currently in the process of rediscovering a bunch of my downloaded freeware VST effects. I didn't know how to use a lot of them until I watched some tutorial videos last week. It's turning out OK now. A lot of it comes down to finding those plugins that have the easiest to use interfaces.
Soon I will be remixing/pre-mastering a whole bunch of my older material, but I also have about 12 new projects all simultaneously brewing. Here's something I whipped up yesterday: (I will be doing a lyrics version too)

These are pretty crazy, but fun. I will try to make them more diverse as I re-edit and overdub them.
I really hope you like these. Hopefully, when done, they will be like a cornucopia of intensity.
They are supposed to be a little bit wierd, too.

i used to listen to alot of NIN.
Not so much anymore these days.
My tune "Twelves" had tons of NIN influences.

Trent Reznor is a pretty talented guy. I found The Fragile to be one of the best albums I've ever heard.
What other bands do you like?
