[Travel & create]

dude, if you want portability buy a Palm and check this software out...it compromises very little for fitting in your hand and being able to be used anywhere you wish:

 

 

 

 

and this is a 303 clone:

 

 

 

sounds amazing and easy to program...this is more for live performance where as Bhajis Loops is more for producing.

 

here's the website:

i bought a palm to use this program and have been very impressed. it is great fun to be able to develop musical ideas anywhere you go

 

 

there's a community forum here http://www.bhajis-garden.org

you can listen to songs made in the software

[Tips for Programming Acid Riffs?]

so far i have found that having the notes progress up and down rhythmically provides a pleasing noise, espeically tie-ing the second last note so that it 'slides' upwards into the loop again

[Tips for Programming Acid Riffs?]

Hi guys,

 

I have just started using Microbe ( http://www.chocopoolp.com/mi_index.php ) and I am really enjoying using the 303-esque engine to create patterns which can be filter swept to the heavens and back.

 

I am wondering if you guys have any tips on how to program a good acid riff? Straight 16th notes seems to be the standard rhythm, but are there any scales or other note progressions you find work well? Are your acid patterns usually 1 bar loops, or longer?

 

 

thanks

[Infected Mushroom - Vicious Delicious]

Plus, that gives terrible DJs some acapella tracks to use when shitting up their sets.

hahaha, brilliant!

i agree with your other points too

[Tribal psytrance]

don't forget Reefer Decree - Points of You!!!

there's fungal winter magic in this album

[M-Class]

i like the riffs in this one

they twist in and out of each other very nicely.

very nice groove, not too fast which i like. when the hats first come in is lovely

interesting percussion with the flammed hats leading into the snare

 

the riffs and melodies here gave me a feeling just like old goatrance, especially the way the way the different sections overlap and interact.

but i wouldn't fuss too much about making it the 'genre' of goa, it is a sweet track and that is enough

 

 

PS - is the track's title a reference to Reason's mastering suite?

[Sons of Aurora : Live @ Upplysa]

this is a beautiful mix man, i really like how it progresses and builds. the track choice is excellent too, right up my alley

[Slackbaba - ...And The Beat Goes OM...]

i love this album

genuinely psychedelic, mad little spirals everywhere

there's always something happening, twisted percussion etc over a SOLID bottom end

 

highly recommended

[So now with my Shpongle fanboyery faded away]

what sort of folk music are you guys talking about?

[Do you especially support acts from your country?]

are Rumble Pack and Blue Vortex the same act with a different name?

[Lish - Dejavoodoo]

do you have a copy?

if so, i will pay whatever we agree is reasonable because i don't really have anything rare to trade

 

so if you want to sell it, let me know

 

thanks; and

 

peace

[Any other Astrix songs like these?]

definitely Akumasama, i really like the style of music typified by the Crystal Skulls albums. you're right; sadly it seems Astrix hasn't felt like replicating that feel very much since

[Any other Astrix songs like these?]

oops, i didn't mean to start any fighting

 

thanks for the replies though,

i will check out those songs

[Any other Astrix songs like these?]

anyone?

 

[Any other Astrix songs like these?]

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if Astrix has any other tracks which are similar to these ones: Beyond The Senses, Freestyle Cafe and The Fourth Revelation.

 

I really like it when he uses this style, especially how at the end of The Fourth Revelation it switches up to 4/4. I'm only familiar with his albums, but hopefully he has a few of these styled tracks on compilations. Or if anyone knows any similar songs from other artists, post them here too!

 

thanks in advance;

 

peace

[Lish - Dejavoodoo]

anyone?

[VA - The Lurker Cosmic Conspiracy Records]

i got this and the Bufo album in the mail, can't wait to get my ears into them. Cosmic Conspiracy are really the only folk providing this sort of music these days (with Zenon of course)

 

really looking forward to delving into this...

[FREq- Gosub 20]

hey Daydream, is Alloys still available anywhere?

[Atmos track....]

wow, i didn't my question to be answered this quickly!

thanks very much dude. i thought it was an Atmos track because it was within a set of his my friend gave me. looks like it was a DJ set. it's great to know the real artistwho wrote the track, and see that there are remixes.

 

thanks again (:

[Atmos track....]

hi

 

can anyone help me identify an Atmos track, which has a sample of Terence McKenna saying "the further in you go, the bigger it gets"?

 

thanks guys

[Lish - Dejavoodoo]

hi guys

 

i've been wanting to purchase Lish's debut, Dejavoodoo, for awhile, but cannot seem to find it in stock anywhere.

 

if someone could recommend where to get it, or have a copy they'd like to sell, please let me know.

 

thanks,

peace!

[FREq- Gosub 20]

far out... went to the CD launch party in melbourne for this last night. holy shit. maybe the CD isn't as great as expected (havent heard it myself) but live, Freq is the fuckin man!

 

I'll be buying this CD on monday morning. unreal

dude, you could've bought it at the show!

 

i'm still absorbing this cd. i really don't like the vocals (track 5 i think), and there's a few other things i'm a bit iffy about. but expectations usually tend to throw me a bit, i really need to play it alot more before i can adequately rate it.

[VA - Back From Beyond [ Iono Music ]]

the Freq remix of All Seasons was one of my favourite tracks of last year.

 

i'm very keen to hear this new version. he seems to like re-editing and remixing his works (Lifeline Reedit, Nyquist - Singularity (Freq Revision), 2 versions of Brazil, Space Needle/Noodle). i guess it's that relentless pursuit of perfection which makes his music such a powerful force.

 

can't wait to get the new album! but this compilation is getting ordered right now to tide me over

[Cujorius One - Creating a Second Sun]

this album has been in constant rotation for months now. every track is individual, and each has developed their own little space in my mind. some favourites are Epo Orc, My Voices Don't Like You and The Pay Per View Sound. also, the intro and lead in on 95.5 Radio Joint is exquisite.

 

a rock solid bottom end with some seriously stompy bass provides a hefty foundation for some of the most insane grooves i've heard. the percussion flickers to and fro, with some perfectly filtered breaks reversing on themselves before flicking back forward and re-joining the track's movement.

 

the snyth work is minimal, but fits the vibe here very well. the noises have character and their movement is fluid. the focus here is very much on rhythm though, so don't expect melodies.

 

highly recommended

[Igneous - Skip Insect]

this is beautiful music, no part dominates (ie no deafeningly loud obnoxious basslines), but all elements complement each other as the chugging journey slowly yet surely moves higher and higher.

 

i really enjoy this album. is there a difference in style between 'Igneous' and 'Igneous Sauria' projects? i'm keen to check his other stuff....
