This is weird...

4ERO · 01-8-2007, 06:04 PM

um..thanks?

Overall it's pretty cool, but the bass isn't as defined as I think it should be... not to mention the song doesn't really go anywhere. It'd make great menu music, but then again I could just loop the first 30 seconds and get the same effect.

then again it's dnb rite lul

All those things you said, about the song not going anywhere and being good background music, are very true. But indeed...tis DnB. The only purpose is to give people somehing to chill to. Thanks for paying interest.
Hah, proved to the world I can write dnb.

Like no offense, but I just generally dislike people who make music for anyone other then themselves personally, rather than as a means of expression.

I'm sorry, but it's hard not to take offense to a comment like that. Instead of talking about the song itself, you shifted your criticism to me as a person and I don't appreciate that.

I think I need to clarify. I always make music for myself, first and foremost. When I said "I only wanted to give people something to chill to" I meant I hoped that others might also enjoy what I view as a 'chill out' music. This song is out of style for my usual compositions, and I admit that there is nothing particularly artistic and innovative about it. You're misinterpret my intent. I'm only trying to share a feeling...not a revolutionary idea.

Gah, I just can't seem to win with this community. I've been flamed left and right on this site for practically anything I post. I think I need to go away for awhile.

Enjoy the tune, if you're not offended in some way by it.

**iPatcH** · 01-9-2007, 12:21 PM

Dude, just chill out.

Agreed.

*after calming down

Sleepless dragon's comment was the match that lit the fuse of many grievances I've held over different people in these forums on seperate occasions. I still consider SD's comment a flame since it was directed to me and not the song. It may appear that i'm hyper-sensitive to criticism, but at the same time, I'm losing motivation to keep sharing my stuff when I think i've done something good and other people don't. Sorry for making anyone uncomfortable or akward if you're reading this and you think I'm over reacting.

**iPatcH** · 01-10-2007, 09:47 PM

He never said the song was bad, he was just stating a personal opinion, man. Everyone's got 'em. :P

**sleeplessdragn** · 01-10-2007, 10:18 PM

Well, I suppose I should leave some musical comments as well.

I thought that the piece was well done, though repetitive. The jazzy mood was refreshing, but I did feel a general lack of direction. Also, you may want to look into massaging up the bass, because I thought it was a bit empty. The hats weren't quite as defined as I was expected, but that may be due to a personal taste conflict. I wouldn't classify this as jungle per say, and there is nothing wrong with that.

On another note, I personally hate it when people spell my name wrong.

**Pyroshock** · 01-10-2007, 10:34 PM

I actually really enjoyed this.

Although long and a tad repetitive, I still enjoyed the track enough to not care very much about the repetitiveness.

TheRaiRaiEatsBalloons · 01-11-2007, 11:02 AM

It'll give it a listen this afternoon.

Yeah, I agree.

TheRaiRaiEatsBalloons · 01-11-2007, 02:52 PM

Minimalist DNB, pretty cool, reminds me of some stuff I used to listen to a couple years back. Pretty good production going on. I like the sounds you use.

EDIT: I am reeeaaally liking the soloish stuff you do 4/5 the way though.

**-Fallen-** · 01-13-2007, 01:56 AM

This song is trippy as ****. I don't know what the hell to say about it.
