Bio

I try to have fun with my music because I'm pretty bad at expressing myself and every time I try to do so with music, I get so caught up in the emotion I'm trying to express that I lose sight... or.... sound of the song I'm working on. So my main focus is dance.

Hi mooing! I finally got around to updating the fawmcasts!

Xenogears eh?! Well, it sounds like a really critically well-received game, so I guess that means my music can't be all that bad. I'll definitely have to check that game out! Thanks for listening!

Ya... The fawmcast... Darn it! I'll tell you when I get it up

Alllooo moooing menace. Uh... I didn't do what I said I would do. Darn it.

And btw, thanks for the comment on the song! I am so woefully behind on commenting.

Hey, like what you done with your remix of my track! And I'm happy being tagged, makes sense I guess. I tweaked the title just in case any other people create remixes of it and I also create a direct link so that it can be streamed from this website. Hope you're cool with that
injerabreath 3 months ago

Ok, so this is what I came up with. Do whatever you want with it and we can reupload or leave it be or whatever. I can send the main drum track solo if you want to remix it and work from there. Otherwise I am happy with what it is for what it is given the equip I am working with at the moment. It's hard for me to tell what it really sounds like. These laptop speakers are terrible, but in the headphones the bass fills it out nicely....

If you search youtube for "islands return to the sea" you'll find some stuff from their first album (which is incredible). Here's a couple:

Not the best quality, but great songs. You can hear their previous Unicorns "sound" a bit.

Thanks for your comments on “Find a Way.” It all helps in the writing process, as my writing is always a work it progress! And thanks for explaining that “whispering.” Interesting to hear how creative you can be experimenting with the music like that. Yeah, I think feedback between writers is invaluable, actually, with the exchange of ideas, etc. Music libraries would likely always be looking for “soundtrack” type stuff.
musuko 3 months ago

No worries on the soundboard, that's what its for!

Yeah I've only seen the anime, but it was so refreshing compared to a lot of other stuff out there. I'd love to see more if they would make it. I haven't watched anything in a long time...

Speaking of the Unicorns, have your heard any of the Islands stuff? Really good too. Often has some Unicorns feel, but goes it some other awesome directions as well.

I wish I had the time to sit down with Ableton more. Good stuff, but I already have plenty on my plate with Renoise and Logic. Both very different (from each other and Ableton) but a lot of fun to work with.

Watchlisted you, so I'll be back around.

Now that I think of it, I apparently accidentally stole a melody from the song that plays at Shinra HQ. Well, as Picasso once said, "good artists copy, great artists steal".
kristi 3 months ago

Hi Mooing. Hey, thanks so much for your very nice comments on those 2 lyrics. You wouldn't believe the words/phrases I question (to myself), and your thoughts are very helpful! I will comment on your songs a bit later when I have time to listen.
musuko 3 months ago

Haha yes! Beck/MCS and The Unicorns. You sir have good taste. (Except for the Skrillex part )

Thanks for the comments on 'I can’t go to heaven tonight' they were some of nicest things I have ever heard. I hope you have a great FAWM!
errol 3 months ago

YOU LISTENED! HUZZAH!

Ya, sorry about that.

And yes, there is a download from the same page. I will probably put it on the wiki and on @dailyfawmcast tomorrow.

Allloo!!

BTW, I plan on playing your song tonight on the fawmcast.

WHAT? YOU HAD AN INTELLIVISION TOOO!!! HUZZZAHHHH!!!

That made me all sorts of excited! *LAUGH*

And yes, when you count in binary, the first finger is 2^1 and the second finger (middle finger) is 2^2 ... which is 4.

Thanks for the link-- it gives me ideas.
donkimmusic 3 months ago

Thanks for the comment. I'm blasting your stuff in the office and I'm getting some weird looks but it's worth it.
injerabreath 3 months ago

I'll try to work some wizardry with that and send it back at you. we can ping pong it that way adding layers and modifying. I am not at my home base this week, but I wanted to keep up with FAWM so I am working with my roland sampler, a kaossilator and an Sk-1 synth. This computer is archaic so I won't be doing any programming at the moment. (I can't say that I'll be able to adhere to a 140bpm framework, but let's just see what happens) I'll be borrowing a digital recorder in a day or so, then I'll be able to upload again, thus why i've fallen behind.

Dang that glitch patch looks cool. Alas I am a MAC user. but yea. I'd be down for a collab. any ideas?
tiedyehero 3 months ago

WORD indeed. Lots of good memories jamming to Not In Love on the way into Denver at sundown
tiedyehero 3 months ago

crimewave is sick. I really like the song they did with Robert Smith too I think it's called Not In Love
tiedyehero 3 months ago

i'm checking out rushjet now. I've heard of Mindless Self Indulgence they are okay
tiedyehero 3 months ago

that's so cool. I like bands that use sounds like that. Crystal Castles comes to mind.
tiedyehero 3 months ago

but i've never heard of 6502 assembly language so, we're even

thanks for the comment.

that's a mandolin.

You're right, I think I need to put mandolin over all my other demos probably.
vomvorton 3 months ago

Ha, it's pretty nuts! I like the effects-laden section at the end. I see what you mean on the timing on the second verse but apart from that it's pretty solid!

Mooooooooooooooo!!! Thanks for the comment
I really DO love dogs! (Hint: Look at my pic)
injerabreath 3 months ago

Awesome! I may be a wizard, I cannot say this with certitude. Yea, the pressure is on when making songs for this. especially when doing electronic production. sittin there singing and strumming guitar is a different story, but real production takes time.
vomvorton 3 months ago

I'd like to hear it! But don't spend too much time over further remixing if you would like to spend your time on FAWM, it's all cool. Whatever you do, I consider a favour - so do what you want and don't do what you don't want
vomvorton 3 months ago

hey menace de la moo! did you manage to come up with anything on the dog scientists front? no worries if not, of course - just curious!

Yep on the diversity of talents and genres here
Lots of opportunities to try a little different direction

ha..thanks for the listen yo...good luck in feb!

You listed Yasunori Mitsuda as an influence and NOT Nobuo Uematsu!

I'll consider that a mindslip on your part o.O...

Oh, and watchlist'd. Looking forward to seeing what you can do.
gslade 4 months ago

Welcome to FAWM 2012 and FAWM in general. I'm G Slade, resident hip hop/rap/synth pop guy. I'll be doing more listening than writing this month, so I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to contribute this year.

Good luck in Feb!

Hold that thought, here's a zip file of the stems as decent quality mp3s, will that be OK for you?

Hullo! Thanks for the message, I'd be really interested to see what you can do with Dog Scientists! I'll sort out the stems, how would be best to get them to you? Do you have a dropbox account? If not I can probably upload them somewhere. Just checking out your SoundCloud now, very interesting! I can't say that I've really "got" dubstep just yet, but I'm definitely intrigued by it... and also good to see a mention of The Unicorns on your influences - they were a wonderful band!
