It's dance your ass off time! Just a snippet and I haven't got around to actually mixing the project yet - so this is just a really rough sketch.

I'm currently working on a kinda sorta remix of Olson...better just to say that it samples it and is inspired by it.


It also samples Seeya Later. I'll post a link a little later.

Downloading now.


Edit: Holy shit this first track sounds awesome.

And I see you exported your tracks at 320 kbps, good job. Not as many people do that as you would think, I guess some people can't tell the difference.

I'm stoked you like it! Especially because NIN was my first obsession before BOC. Did you dig the rest of it?

Portion of a mix that I'm working on right now. It's a work in progress.

it has samples and loops from felt 3.5 (probably unknown to many), Kraftwerk, Aphex, Plastikman, and more.

Melody could be a little bit quieter, drums a little bit louder. Sounds great though. Could be a good segue track or something.

I just released a new FREE album, called "Embrace" at jeffvaona.bandcamp.com ..... Yeah sry to grossly self-advertise heh heh Anyway...

It's been described on rateyourmusic.com as IDM/Post-Rock. I'd love to hear my fellow BoC fans' input.

I'm a man that does not strive for a certain genre, in his music. Ugliness among beauty. Or is the other way, around? Maybe just all ugly.

I've been improvising with other Houston area electronic musicians. Here is one of the sessions with Chris Becker in preparation for our live show later this month.

I like this. That slow melody that creeps in at about 1:40 (theres a change to the waveform here) reminds me of Blue Sky Black Death, for some reason... Keep up the good work and definitely post us a link for your completed project, later on ;) I'll be interested in hearing it for sure.

So how much of that song was you and how much was the Greek fellow? I've been thinking about doing a couple collabs with other artists and I've been approached by a few, as well, just never had any experience working on music with other people outside of my dozen+ highschool metal bands (LOL)

What was your guys' process, if any?

Never heard Blue Sky Black Death, will have to check them out.
50% of the sounds are field recordings that I would go out and record with my H4n (TV static, closing a piano bench, electricity noises, the piano line, etc) and we would sit and create ableton clips of our favorite parts of those recordings and make loops that way. We often take the field recording loops and cut them into midi clips using the "slice to midi function" in ableton and quantize sounds to create a rhythm, or sometimes we could take sounds and bring them into Melodyne and create melodies out of inanimate objects because it analyzes the pitch of things in interesting ways.

As far as the melody and bassline at 1:40, that is Kostas. It is played on the Roland V-Synth GT. I play the string/synth line that comes in around 3:15 which is a Reaktor synth patch. The piano around 5:40 is a just a slice of an improvised piano piece that I recorded with my H4N and we chopped that little loop out of the field recording and looped it...and also reversed it at sections.
The resonating wind you hear throughout is a feedback loop created with a Pluggo plugin called Feedback Network.

Dewd, talk about a mountain of useful knowledge and an attention to detail!
I usually stick to my sequencers in Fruity Loops 9, combined with my guitar, which runs through a Digitech RP200 and then into an Alesis recording hub to the laptop. On my newest album, it's a Fender Stratocaster. All mixing done with Audacity freeware. All drums are samples ran through FL Studio, though I sometimes use emulated drum sounds if I feel like having a digital drum sound.

Why do you like to use Ableton? Was it just a program that you guys were both fluent in? I'm not familiar with it, haha

and here's a condensed example of what makes up my music at the moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXQtctT_ ... ideo_title
