or who've travelled the hyperdimension of self-transforming emtelechies enough to have bitten off a chunk which now forever resides in your mindscape, accessible through headphones

d/l'ing now, back later tonight. I really dig the synth/fx chain list I would love to see it more habit around here. So much to learn!

Indeed. What begat this was showing a friend the new freeware VSTs I happened to be installing that I had downloaded this week from various KVR threads.

I almost always post the instrument and effects chains I use in songs. Can't hurt to promote my Dev friends' hard work and generosity, and I certainly don't think I need to go around hiding how I got the sounds I've come up with as no one would want to use them anyways

Here's what I posted about this on my myspace blog if anyone's interested in the production techniques used I'm always open to questions.

Anybody else having a hard time downloading this? I keep getting a server error.

I'm not getting any server errors, but had to cancel download as it was coming in at 4k a second.

I just uploaded this.
The link will only last a week if I recall correctly, but yousendit and other places are bogging down terribly on the weekends recently.

direct download?

[bobsled]

404 with both of those.

[Az're-ul]

Thanks Runagate - the YouSendIt link works fine for me - 470k a second

404 with both of those.

Looks like it might be a problem with your ISP Bobsled

Cheers

the most completely insane piece i've ever heard at kvr. must listening for seekers of negative enlightenment. hideously twisted genius.

[synthgeek]

Wow. That was intense.

[corman rapeblio]

The first part sounds like a madman bashing a lego wall with a pixilated towel. Refreshingly senseless. But by the fourth minute I find myself asking are the machines taking over this guy? Who is in control? And it's very interesting that the music can provoke these kinds of questions… and maybe that's the point... I can listen to this over and over and really enjoy it…does this mean I'm ill? All I would suggest is a complete change in dynamics around the 4 minute mark, a really defined structural shit...but this may defeat the whole organic at times random nature of your music though... so I would say just please, keep up the good work. It appears what I've just said is constructive and deconstructive simultaneously, sorry Runagate, that doesn't help a lot I know...

I'm not sure what negative enlightenment is but it's gotta be a good sign to be the most insane

Probably. Some people's minds enjoy overwhelming complexity and dizzying metamorphoses. Which brings me to:

Indeed, I wish there were dynamics at all but due to the nature of rendering things that I can't even preview without crashing the host and the tiny amount of hard disk space (60 Gb) on my laptop the machine is indeed taking over - not my mind but the restrictions of what I can do with the audio.

I'd never make a song this linear if I didn't have such restrictions.

It appears what I've just said is constructive and deconstructive simultaneously, sorry Runagate, that doesn't help a lot I know...

Hehe don't worry about that. That's why I'm not ever really looking for constructive criticism - there's simply nothing I can do to change the song now, and there's way too much compression (though not as much as you might think) in order to get the elements to hang together as well as they do.

Besides, I'm open to actually insulting comments, always. No skin off my teeth. I realize I make some worrisome audio

[corman rapeblio]

I hope you didn't consider my review insulting?!! Also.. you need a new computer, no excuses.. I've been in that frustrating limitation zone, spent a long time there, you not got a job?? a fast comp can be pretty cheap these days.
