...... about time I started uploading some bits I think! Been playing around with this stuff for years without uploading much at all! Never had much focus I must admit. Hopefully finally getting around to putting some stuff up will get me going a bit more. In any case it's all good fun at the end of the day, which is why I bother doing this stuff in the first place of course So here I am, throwing myself to the lions. Go easy on me!

I just played the first 5 tracks from your SoundCloud. they sounded quite promising, with some BOC similarities. The mixes sounded a little claustrophobic, but that could have been intentional. I enjoyed them.
Good work

I know the BoC influence is often painfully obvious. I can't help it! I'm a bastad for BoC so their influence is a big part of a lot of the stuff I do. But I'm influenced by a lot of other stuff so I guess the goal is to use these influences & build them into a sound that is more my own. But for now it's really about doing stuff I enjoy & (finally!) putting some of it out there.
With regards to the mixing - it's not something I'm paying too much attention to right now. In the past I've found myself being concerned with mixing & mastering before I've had much to mix and master! So apart from levels, basic EQ & panning I'm really not doing a great deal at this stage. It's more about getting stuff out there at this stage
EDIT: Recently uploaded this video I made for Boards of Canada's Collapse from their latest album. The YouTube copyright ID picked up the track so I ended up doing a reversed track version so I could upload the video;

This stuff is beautiful. it's not all reminiscent of BOC, the 2nd and 3rd tracks are coming from another place. I love how the 2nd track takes it's own sweet time. The 3rd track reminds me of a cut on The Shining soundtrack. Tracks 1 and 5 have a BOC vibe, but good BOC(their tunes are awesome when they're good, but can be uneven). The last track especially really took me there.

I'd be interested in a breakdown of the production on Plonk Unit(instruments & fx used, etc.). The sound really got to me.

It's mainly Reason on that track. The Faturator RE was used on the drums which were all from Kong. Fantastic device that one. I also used the ART RE to add a bit of grit and distortion. Synths used were Thor and Antidote with some reverb from the Uh-e Uhbik-A RE.Moe Shinola wrote:I'd be interested in a breakdown of the production on Plonk Unit(instruments & fx used, etc.).
