    Awesome, though it honestly doesn't sound much different than your other stuff as far as the genre is concerned, other than the drums being more varied. I don't think that's enough to make it IDM, though I might be wrong.

    Great song either way

      NikolaosTheDark: I understand that it's "intelligent dance music", but the bulk of IDM artists do random reverse drums and random glitch sounds.
      NikolaosTheDark: Thanks for deviating from that path.

        For the most part you just through some glitchy stuff here and there, but honestly not deriving much more from what you already do. The genre and its description is incredibly ambiguous and pretty much anything can be classified as IDM, but generally speaking it's much more processed, especially through the percussion. Try going back and using some unconventional rhythms and through in some sick DSP effects for good measure.

            I really want to cover most, if not all major genres in my album.
            swedish speedmetal


            do it


            jokes aside, for your next song, do something REALLY avant-garde/experimental
            or minimalist

            mmmm
            edit: i just saw you said major genres dammit
            well swedish speedmetal is still major i hear
            in sweden
            mmmm

              Hey bro the right word is threw.

              On topic: The song sounded basically what you have always written, but I wouldn't exactly call it IDM yet. As iPatch said, you just added some glitchy-noises in, but that doesn't quite qualify. Put in odd and confusing percussion rhythms - much like in Venetian Snares' stuff - and it'll sound a bit more like IDM.

                Oh you. OH YOU!

                Sorry mang, but I don't think you could classify this as IDM. It's more DNB than anything with some random glitch. Don't get me wrong it's a wonderful song bro, but I think what you SHOULD do, is finish that god damned piano for me so that I can tear it the hell up. I'm getting bored sitting around in my car all day. Give me something to do !!


                Seriously though, not too bad at all. And you know how much i hate jazz.

                    yeah it's not as "lol random sounds" as the general consensus believes, but that's because it would ruin the song if I did that.
                    IDM isn't about "lol random sounds" You can't just throw random **** into a song and call it IDM. The basic idea is that the beats are no longer static and repeating. Imagine a drummer in a band. Normally he plays the same pattern 3 times then a fill, then back to the same pattern. But everytime he fills, it's always different. It's not just "Random" it's still in beat with the song.

                    Imagine IDM as making an entire song out of "fills"

                    The only randomness you'd find is varying sounds that you'll use. Like a chair sqeaking and reprocessed and then used for air in the beat.

                    Though, let's be absolutely honest. IDM is a very pretentious genre title.

                    I prefer to call what I do "experimental" But the only way to really describe it to someone who's never heard my music is "IDM" or to refer to aphex twin / flashbulb as it's the closest to what I make.

                    either way, there's more to ""IDM"" than throwing random **** into your songs.

                    You should give a listen to some of the big names in the genre to get an idea of what it's about

                      Lonely Pretender is one of my all-time favorite songs, this didn't even make me think of it.
