There is a binaural plugin called H3D

Agnosticism is an interesting but odd position. Yes, we can likely not prove God's existence with certainty, but in the strict sense, we cannot prove any statement, save possibly analytical ones (all bachelors are unmarried). Rather, knowledge seems based on judgement calls from rationality, but in this case, what makes the God issue immune to such judgment calls? There are plenty of arguments for and against the existence of God by which one is able to form an opinion, therefore agnosticism seems to me like the uninformed's position, unless one has actually analyzed all arguments and found the conclusion indeterminable. But I suppose it can also be seen as the position of someone who does not care about the issue, which is not unreasonable, but I suspect most people don't actually feel that way.
Hmm I think of it more like this: If I say there isn't something as a God/Creator, i'm presenting it as factual information... And the same the other way around. The problem with a creator is that you can't simply analyse all arguments for and against the existence because they are so vague and undetermined.. Like saying there is a non-tangible, non-measurable energy around us.. That's a dead-end statement, because the nature of the object is that it can't be measured/proven nor falsified.. But there are some interesting point of views in the matter.. For example, I read a text written by Theodosius Dobzhansky : 'Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. He talks about, well, what's in the title, but also about the fact that he is both a Geneticist/Evolutionist, AND a devote believer.

The Messenger (2012) and Drum n bassa are ace tracks! Really like them
As for the rest of the album, I applaud the production quality, and in some tracks (some may find this a bit weird) originality.. I have seldom heard this kind of mix between dubstep, electro and Infected's typical Psy.
-
Hmm I would say Electro House or something, although it has a kinda chill vibe too.. Wouldn't say deephouse, because deephouse tends to have a jazz or funk influenced vibe.. Anyway, sounds nice.
-
Really, great track man! Epic intro, wicked bassline.. Fantastic. Agree with Javi, needs a proper cd..
All the best and I hope to hear from you more!
-
Another album-preview! Hope you enjoy

Yes ladies and gentelmen, believe it or not, Paul Oakenfold is coming back to his roots and reignited his interest in the psytrance scene. I must say that I didn't see that one coming... Of course, as always, he delivers a highly commercialized and watered-down version of the scene, but still given how commercialized and watered-down the psytrance scene is in the first place these days, it actually holds good in comparison IMO. So yeah, certainly no Goa Silver Mix contender but some pretty interesting stuff in there:

Well it's not Goatrance, but this is amazing! One of the most intense trance I have heard so far, truly beautifull. This is exactly what the trance scene needs for me..
And that remix is great too..
-
Hmm I was never a big muses rapt fan... But this doesn't dound to bad to me, allthough the tracks don't sound finished somehow... Like rough sketches.
And offcourse, it doesn't come anywhere nere the pure genious of this epic The Muses Rapt track! :

Very interesting ! So if we consider ourselves as composers, do we have to learn music theory to write a tune ? Or is it possible to "feel" the music while compose it, just like for example free jazz players do ?
I have to say that I really improved my skills in music when I stopped thinking too much and more tried to feel it... But maybe both are complementary in the end !
Free -jazz players know there share of music-theory, believe me
I see it this way: To make music, you don't necessarily need the theory behind it, you can make music intuitively. But knowing something about the theory behind it, makes it a lot easier to discover the different 'roads' to take while composing. If you want to break boundaries, you have to know what the boundaries are first. And it's the same when making electronic music: you can make a fantastic song with samples an presets, but to create every sound that pops up in our head, you've got to know about synthesizing.

Indeed top notch production as usual, and some interesting harmonies from time to time, but it seems that they have gotten Skrillex-Fever. Epileptic-wobble-house-step describes this best for me.. Seriously, you could have told me this was the new Skrillex-album and I would've believed you
Well not my cup of tea, and it seems as if IM hired a trend-watcher to tell them what kids these days are into, but I guess a lot of people outside of the Psy-scene will like it -
Haven't posted anything in a long time, so her is another album preview! Hope you enjoy
-
hmm sorry but I don't really see the dubstep elements in there... it's very good breakbeat psychill but not dubstep IMO
Hmm yes he has a lot of breaky tracks too, but is was referring to a lot of the tracks on the first page of his soundcloud, wich are pretty dubsteppy to me, as in: deep basses, 140bpm halftime rithm, wobbly atmosphere..
The first one actualy reminds a lot of Kryptic Mindzhttp://soundcloud.co...f-prey-paradise
-
Very nice!! Really, great stuff. i only dislike some guitar-notes in the intro (f.e. at 33 sec), and the last part (6 min and onwards) doesn't sound really consistent with the rest of the track to me, but the middle part is beautiful.
-
Bird of Prey (or his collaboration birds of paradise) is amazing!

And i'm working on some psybreaks/psystep, a new project
I will put some tracks on for download when they are finished.. -
When I was around the age of 13, i somehow got a burnt cdr with a couple of old IM song, together with Shakta - Shakti Shakta and Yahel - Waves of Sound.. Return of the shadows was also on it, and man i listened to those 3 song over and over again.. Stil 3 of my all time favorites (nostalgia i guess..)
A while later i also got Zodiac from Talamasca, and started to look up other artists, and simultaneously began making Goa tracks too -
I'm an agnost
I'm not saying there is a god or some kind of creator, not saying there isn't because we simply can't proof either -
Hilarious I hope this is ment to be funny
I laughed my ass of when they began about the 'demonic posession' of artists -
i was born on the 12th of december... Frank Sinatra was born on the 12th of december..
Coincidence? I think not... I'm am destined to be a great singer one day.

But now I will stop filling this thread with Off-Topicness

No, it's nor hard. What I really think it's hard to understand is when someone says "opinions on art" should be somehow measured, regulated, controlled to express only good things, or things that are taken as positive. To me, it's close to be ultra-leftist in the cyber world. This is what exactly the likes of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro do to their people: dare you express something which is not nice, it may cost your life in those lands.
Sigh.. I didn't say any of those things
Again, my point is: as an artist you shouldn't let critisism decide what you make or how you make it, because the main point of making music is enjoying yourself and not only pleasing others. So i'm totaly NOT saying people shouldn't criticise, criticise all you want But you should always have in the back of your mind that opinions about art are extremely subjective. And I for instance try to be respectfull about art even if i don't like it, because 1) the artist put his heart and soul in his work (I know, you can't always now this but i give artists the benefit of doubt), and 2) it makes other people happy, so it totally succeeded it's goal as art. That's why I will never say someone has 'a bad taste in music' (or any other art), because for me there is no such thing. But you are totally right, everybody should be free to express his or her opinion, no matter what.
But i prefer thinking my criticism through, because art is no exact science, it's not black/white, there is no good or bad. -
Really? From what I understood, you don't take critisism as finely as you think you do. I wonder your reaction to a real negative review to one of your works.
Good to me, a harsh reviewer, that I can't remember listening to a single track of yours.
Ok again, I WASN'T TALKING AS A PRODUCER!
i just was saying what my thoughts are about music in general so feel free to comment on my work harsh, constructive, good, none-cunstructive, doesn't matter.. i will see what i will do with it As long as I enjoy what i'm doing, there is no problem at all.Man it seems to be hard to get yourself understood when not having a discussion with someone in person
-
The best solution, then, is that an artist that can't stand anything other then comments like "Your music is great! You're doing the right thing! Killlarrrgh!", should stop TAKING PART IN FORUMS ABOUT HIS ART. For, I don't know a single writer, singer, moviemaker, poet, etc etc etc...whose work is an unanimity. Perhaps you should start a forum like this. If you don't mind my suggesting: POSITIVE ONLY REVIEWS PSYFORUM. Any negative opinion or members trying to push artists to different paths would not be allowed. It would be interesting to see what people would write there.
people don't seem to get my point here, i don't seem to read what i wrote
I mean there is critisism, and constructive critisism. And offcourse as an artist you should be able to handle both. But one can be really helpfull, and about the other you shouldn't care if YOU like what you make
And to make things clear, i wasn't talking as an artsist, i really can handle critisism and frankly i don't care what people think as long as i'm enjoying myself. I was talking as a music-enthousiast in general. And what I consider constructive comments, are comments about the technical side of music making, or from someone who listens to things similar as the kind of things you make, and has somewhat the same taste. And those comments can be good or bad!!!If someone who listens to R&B says that 'all he can here is that repetetive 4/4 beat, there is no debt in this music, you should add a female singer and some R&B beats', well, that isn't constructive and you shouldn't care a rats ass about what that person says
But if someone whom you know shares the same taste, and knows what you try to achieve, has comments about what you do, then those can be really helpfull. But comments like 'stop trying to do what already has been done' wont help a bit, so as an artist you should not let them get to you. THAT was my point! And i can't stress enough, I was not talking only as an artist, and i do can take critisism
Otherwise i wouldn't make music -
Yeah, i agree, i really don't mean that artists shouldn't be critisised. Constructive criticism can be very helpfull! I was refering to the fact that people seem to try pushing artists in the direction they want... Because if you move a certain direction, you will please some and dissapoint others.. So mainly it is about making the music YOU want, not what other people want you to make.
If one of my favourite artists starts evolving towards a style I don't like, hell he should if he wants to, I'll just listen to other artists i do like. For me there is no point in commenting on that artists newer work as in : 'man, his new sound sucks balls, his old work was tons better, stop making this new crap and go back to your old sound!'
My main point was that critisism CAN be really helpfull, but that artists shouldn't met that decide waht they make.
