FAWM: "agon circula"

agon circula

Challenge: MADE-UP WORDS

Liner Notes

quite a few time sigs (21/16, 19/16, 7/4...), custom tempering of 12TET diminished scale via 28TET, made in SunVox

i'm not too fond of this one, it has potential but i'd really rather work on something else

#electronic #fawmtronica #idm... maybe #thrash #metal?

There's a lot going on here! I usually get hung up for weeks on sound design and alternative tunings, so I'm avoiding them for FAWM, and I'm glad some people can make it work with a deadline.

@vekon 1d

thanks! i've had some practice so all that is fairly quick to do

@adforperu 4d

I'm a big fan of mind/speaker bending electronica, and this has bent me completely out of shape. I always admire someone coming at it with a music theory brain too.

@vekon 3d

heck yeah, crazy sound design and crazy composition together really elevate any song

@chill4matt 1w

Sounds good here. Nice work on the various time signatures. Great!

@vekon 1w

thanks!

@tomgage 1w

Ahhh yes give me more of this! Giving me a proper breakcore meltdown

@vekon 1w

thanks! more may be coming

@samplebandit 1w

the neuro bass starting at 1:00 unnnghhhh wtf the lead at 1:25 is sick also (reminds me of space laces a bit) dope

@vekon 1w

thanks!

funny, i originally made that lead for my flip of THE ANTHEM :)

@emplate 2w

Ah, I love the noise intro. This is all around wonderfully chaotic and harsh track! Has that kind of violent feel to it which I adore. Can also definitely hear the Prodigy comparison mentioned below.

@vekon 2w

thanks! i wasn't consciously channeling the Prodigy but i can hear it too

@cts 2w

Super-punchy snare is perfect here. The potential to do more with this is here. I used to think about The Prodigy's music and how it feels rather contained as a studio recording. However, when I saw a few of those jokers' live performance...mind-numbing! In the good way, mind you. I get that here as well. I understand wanting to move on. Don't leave this one cold, though. Just sayin'.

@vekon 2w

thanks! i'll definitely revisit this sometime after FAWM...

@headfirstonlyMod 2w

21/16? Oh, I'm in. Yeah, I can understand the thrash metal tags. In fact, it'd be interesting to hear a version of this done with guitars; I bet it would be even wilder...

@vekon 2w

thanks! i wonder what a lot of my music would sound like with guitars
