Hey LAU,
Here's a song I just finished earlier today. From nothing to a complete
track inside of a week is a new personal record for me, especially
considering how proud I am of this one. It's a mid-tempo, very
breakbeat-heavy electronic track.
As usual, produced in Renoise. Lots of Loomer Aspect, lots of CAPS and
Foo distortion plugins, and lots of field recordings.
Please excuse the Soundcloud link. I'd prefer not to share around an MP3
or Ogg just yet, as I'm putting together a short EP to release later in
the summer for a few bucks on Bandcamp.
Without further ado:

enjoy!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
11:31 p.m.
Hellowilliam!
It's been some time again, which is a pitty. but I'm awaiting your full
album. If this is anything to go by, then I might enjoy a full length EP as
well. Probably not on the daily list, but certainly in the list, amongst all
that progressive rock. :-)
Honestly: nice song, simplistic in its arrangement,in a way very straight
forward, but I like those indecided harmonies. Not exactly minor, not exactly
major. In combination with the current time, I'm waiting for Ulrich Land to
announce the thursday night crime and thrillers on our public radio. He always
played such tracks. Slightly dark, a little oneiric and out of this world. I
hope the album contains even more breakbeats.
The sounds as ever were good. Not as charismatic and singular as with
"Something wrong with your feet", but that of course was a completely
different workflow and original mindset. Still, I like it, that you never
succomb to the contemporary equivalents of "salat hitting the field" bass
drums and other sins of the time. Even the Lost in London remix, that we so
criticised for its drums had bite. And you stick to it with this little tune.
Is there a processed voice sample in it in the left channel? this is
something, that attracted my ear and wouldn't let go. :-)
OK, now I may actually have to listen to one of those thriller radioplays to
satisfy my Pablow reflex. :-)
Keep on the good work, as lofi as this and breakbeat as this or as hifi and
four-to-the-floor as the "all I need" remix. Uphold the appearance of good
bassdrums in all kinds of electronic styles!
Warm regards and thanks for sharing
Julien

I do what I can! I'm curious, though: do you have any examples of said
"salat hitting the field" bass drum sound?

There is absolutely some chopped and processed vocal work, "ghosted" by
a synthesizer playing the same melody to give it more body. I really
like repurposing recordings like this. I do it with field recordings all
the time (which flesh out the backgrounds of many of my tracks, `indigo`
included, with little bits of white noise and crackling), and there's
quite a history of this in hip-hop production, particularly sampling
vinyl records and `flipping` them into a different beat.
OK, now I may actually have to listen to one of
those thriller
radioplays to satisfy my Pablow reflex. :-)

Absolutely. I'll keep everyone on the list informed :)

Hello William!
I couldn't find a very recent example, that might be due to me not following
the very recent electronic music. but examples I could find included Britney
Spears' Radar and Perfect lover. Although that might have been a little more
due to the over all arrangement. I certainly remember one song very clearly,
but can't find it. Someone called Dragostino did a couple of those pieces in
the early 2000s. Well electronic music has returned and they now know about
the secrets of 90s dance music again and they have discovered the art of
dubstep now, which is almost synonymous for the evil arse kicking bass and
bass drums.
Still I always connect your music to the early 2000s, when the
salat-in-the-field basdrum was in fashion and annoying the hell out of me. :-)
Now you might get better drums all round, but you might get worse
arrangements. Very bare instrumentation. Or you get German hiphop, which finds
it way bacdk to the 80s, which in this case is even worse. Something like Sido
"Engel links, Teufel rechts". the sounds themselves might not be too bad, but
the arrangement is sparse, to sparse. So go on with your field recordings, the
lively rhythms and the other details. Fill your songs with the filigrane
embellishments.
Warm regards
Julien
