    Release Notes:

    Androcell has imparted chillers around the world with two beautiful tracks featuring his ethno-organic psychedelic dub sound. These two tracks were crafted after the time he created Efflorescence (released on Celestial Dragon Records) and are all that remains from his previous musical iteration before molting into Distant System.

     

    This EP is now available for paid digital download in uncompressed .WAV format exclusively through me for US$5.00

     

    Anyone interested please contact me for more details directly via email >> info(at)androcell.com

    Is Androcell worth the money?

    It sort of started with him mentioning how he practiced to sound like Shpongle or Ott and grew into another topic that probably should have been another thread.

     

    ..and yes I've heard his music.

     

    :lol: haha, please show me where I said I "practiced to sound like Shpongle or Ott"??

     

    I believe I stated how I was influenced by some of their production tricks and taught myself how to do some of them myself.

    This was in order to learn how to do these tricks so I could do it in my own way, grow from the learning process, and find new ways to take it beyond. The true fans here understand that I have a sound that stands as my own because they've listened to it enough to know I have the talent to express my own emotions while being influenced by production sorcery from many different "artists". I just keep learning by listening and experimenting. I don't claim to be a music "artist". I'm an electronic music producer, and the more I know and learn from, the happier I am. :drama:

    Is Androcell worth the money?

    in General Psytrance

    Most of my work as Androcell was to see if I could re-produce many of the techniques that have excited or piqued my curiousity from other producers of the past. It's really all been a learning experience to gain the insight in how these things are done. Ever set a flanger FX knobs to extreme settings? If so, then you've created a "shpongle" like sound effect. Ever put an panning delay on a time-streched sound source? If so, you've created a "shpongle" sound. Ever used an ultra fat bassline and a over-delayed dub-skank in electronic music? If so, you've created that "Ott" sound. It's all easy to do and impresses your friends :wank:

     

    The thing is, for me, the biggest compliment comes from those who criticize me with phrases like "it sounds like shpongle". Because it reaffirms that my learning process was not in vain and that I am somewhat reaching my goal in understanding how to do these techniques and processes before I can move forward as a better producer. I can't think of better influences than those producers who are revered as "the best". People who think "Androcell is worth the money" are helping support my learning process. You're basically paying to listen to my musical "hacks". I have no professional studio experience, training, or engineering degree. I'm 100% self taught through experimentation. The best part about people comparing me with Shpongle and Ott, is that these guys have had hours beyond hours of professional experience in studios, learning from professional engineers in the industry, and have been doing it a lot longer than I have. But to compare me even slightly with these guys, is a compliment to the extreme. So thanks for your negative feedback, people. It helps me grow more than you will ever know or care. :)

     

    Many missed to point with the "definitions" of Efflorescence. Many thought I was defining it as my "highest potential" when really it's just another stepping stone to reaching maximum control and ability as a music producer. The definitions were really to describe my view of how an album should flow, just a like a good trip, it should build and build and peak then bring you back.

     

    I learned many things from that work. I learned a lot of things that I would have done differently from that work. All in all, I put my work on the line for people to judge. It only makes me better for the next time around. :)

    I think he merely wanted to check how you would react :drama:

    And that is good reason for his actions? Sure he wanted to see how I'd react. That's why people do negative shit in the first place. I'm going to try and get all

    the laughs and positivity I can out of it. I mean, it already helped me get another purchased download (Thanks, Rotwang!!) so it can only get better.

    What do you mean by traveller?

     

    And yes, I voiced my opinion about your music; I'm not particularly fond of it. I also gave a reason. I see what you mean though.

     

    Anyways, I have the mp3 exported and ready for upload. It would be very kind of you to let me use that ftp.

     

    Don't expect anything as advanced as what you do, though :)

    I don't have links, and if I do, they're very temporary. I will upload a song tomorrow, though!

     

    I'm not an established artist and I'm not looking to compete with you. You shouldn't be so aggressive towards me; all people can't like an artist's music. If you are acting like that, it looks like you have a low self confidence, needing to pick on some random forum-goer who doesn't praise your music. I haven't even said your music is bad. It isn't.

     

    Lastly; I'm a killah musician :rolleyes:

     

    Edit: I changed my mind. I'll try upping something right now. :)

    :lol:

     

    Agressive? Dood, you're confused.... you're words are funny. :) I'm hoping your music is too.. :) When you come into a thread and drop a line like that, you have to expect a response. I mean, you basically disrespected my music, not becuase you had to, but becuase you wanted to. I can understand someone who doesn't like androcell music to come into a thread and EXPLAIN why they don't like it, but not to just rip it, and then start back-peddling when the pressure is on. Who do you think you are, Traveller? (haha, don't think I haven't paid attention, people :) ) What am I supposed to learn from someone who doesn't give postivie criticism, but instead is trying to drop some one-liner like a troll.

     

    HA! "needing to pick on some random forum-goer" ..... dood, you picked on me and my music to BEGIN with.... what ever are you talking about?? You seriously need to start peddling foward again.

     

    Tell you what... I have an private ftp folder I can make for you and I will give you details here....that way everyone else can login and grab and listen, too.

     

    Please let me know. :) My curiosity is piqued.

    Sure, just gimme your msn and we'll settle it out!

     

    (I got budget though... Very small one)

     

    Listening to your work wasn't a waste of time though. Suitable background music.

    Hahaha, MSN? Never use chat programs. I'm looking for links. Don't you have a mycrap, I mean, myspace page I can listen from? A website perhaps? C'mon, you're obviously established enough to just drop me some links here to your tunes.... everyone else is eager to listen I'm sure, as well. Let's have a go with some of your masterful work. :)

    :lol: Funny!!!

     

    Well at least you know there are real Androcell fans here!

    We'll all support anything you do... no worries there. :D

    :lol:

    People who play nice *and* give support are sooooooo appreciated. :) Thank you, always, TranceChick. :)

     

    To my understanding, the basis of alchemy is taking the bad and turning it into good. ;) I decided to use one man's insult, as another man's promotion.

    :lol:

    But I must admit, I'm feeling a bit of inspiration from this and it makes me want to write an Ott-sounding tune about TROLLS. :)

    oh yeah, oops

    mine was supposed to read:

    sounds exactly like ultimae?

    (because someone had mentioned that)

    i hadnt heard any of the new work yet and was applying my preconceptions to be prematurely disappointed while secretly hoping to have those preconceptions shattered

     

    and shit, i'm on a budget myself :P

    :lol:

     

    I'm going to play it safe and recommend that you don't waste your time with the new project. It's not designed for you.

    Oh, maybe he discovered he sounds like Ott on budget.

    :lol:

     

    The fact that you compared me to Ott , at all, is a compliment in itself. I'm truly sorry you had to waste your time listening to my work. If I could reimburse you, I would. Maybe you can email in advance next time and I can give you fair warning not to give music a listen that is inferior to your tastes.

     

    I would love to listen to some of your music productions. Please give me links. :) Maybe if I work hard, I can sound like you on a budget. :)

    Sounds extremely like carbon based lifeforms. :)

     

    Or just Ultimae in general - so you shouldn't have any problems with getting on there. Good luck with the project!

    Cool, I'll take that as a compliment as well..... :)

     

    Someone else says it has a Solar Fields vibe....

     

    http://tribes.tribe.net/psybient/thread/35...10-70019a4f3107

     

    The truth of it all is that this project is inspired by all of the core Ultimae artists, with my own vision of space.

    I'm actually in process of remixing "Time Circles" by H.U.V.A. Network for the Distant System debut album. :)

     

    But if I discuss the DS project anymore here, I'm going to need to start a new thread. Trying to keep DS and Androcell as seperate entities. :)
