[TRACK] USB IDM Melodica-- Fountains

nice
to have you back blipp

some great detailed percussion work
and the usual layered build, release, build

really enjoyed it

Nice track, the sounds build nicely, and the break is cool. I think you should do a mix where the only percussion is the more staticy percussion (the percussion the comes in first) and the heavy drums are pulled out. I think that would be an interesting challenge, keeping the other parts more or less the same. Just an idea.

Edit: Hmmm, maybe those drums could come in after the arp towards the end, where they anchor that element. Anyway, really thoughtful piece. I enjoyed listening. Thanks.

Enjoyed the new tune from the friendly little robot

I was just saying to myself yesterday... where's blipp?? And here you are.

Interesting beat for you... lots of energy in this one, I like it. Great bassline. Well mixed as always. Ooh the arps at 4:24.... niiice.

You are just a master of this genre. I don't even really know what the genre is, but you've mastered it. I need to download all your mp3s onto the new computer.

Wow....this is some really good stuff.I can always tell your beats, they have a distinct touch to them and like usual I have to point out that sic percussion....it makes me envious. It is great to have the blipp factor back, hope you stick around for a while this time

Amazing stuff - Don't give it up! Inspiring, actually.

Thanks for the kind words folks. I did almost come to a point where i was gonna give up making music completely because i felt i'd said all i could and it was getting harder and harder to come up with anything original. If i'm honest i'd have to say that i'm still in a take it or leave it mode about making music and i'm probably not as enthusiastic as i used to be. This track came together pretty quickly, almost accidently in fact. The mix did come out rather well, but it was'nt really due to any magic i put in. Just one of those fortunate accidents really. I wish i could do it every time. I did'nt use any compression on the main drums and i probably hav'nt done that since i first got p5. They just sounded better without so i stuck with it. The drums were from the Roland Groove Synth. A much underated synth for drum sounds i reckon.

Anyway, enough of the waffle. Cheers again guys.

ORIGINAL: syrath

Excellent work John, once again. I loved the composition , the mix was a little reverby (a touch) to my ears. Other than that I cant find too much fault with it. I loved the sounds you got going on during it.

I found the actual track itself to be one of your most engaging tracks. It got me listening from start to finish with apparently no effort at all. Unlike Modulation the change at 4:28 was timed well if you ask me.

It also had your signature style written all over it, while still taking your music on different direction from many of your previous works.

Glad to have you back John.

Thanks Stuart.

Nice track with great drums and sinths.
"The arp at 4:27" very good
stay with project5 and do more music "USB".

serious piece of work Blipp, really enjoyed it.

Listened to it just after david's song, they're very good for some late night music.

congratz, not much to say, didn't listen very carefully, I listened while reading threads here and there, and I didn't really focus, nothing stood out as being particularly odd, just very good music.

nice one

Good track, thanks for sharing, Mr. Universal Serial Bus. I, for one, understand the ebb and flow of music-making desire, lol. Writing, recording, mixing, mastering etc. etc. a song can be very tedious work. Yes, it's work. Sure there are brief moments when a track is coming together when something you've put together gives you a buzz, but when you've listened to a track for the umpteenth time while retweaking this or that trying to get it acceptable, if not perfect, there comes a point when you'd rather listen to forks in a blender than the damn track one more time. Did I mention that I just yesterday finished mastering a new album? lol. I often think maybe I'd be better off just being a video game addict than a basement musician. It's lonely down here. But then I look back on my life, and I realize that all the video games (insert other hobby that produces nothing here) I've played are just a diminishing blipp (sic) in my memory now, largely forgotten, while the music I've made, though the result of blood, sweat, and swearing, still exists; like pets I don't have to feed, giving me and others enjoyment from time to time. I've had a little success, selling 1000 downloads this past year (mostly ITunes) with zero promotion on my part, but when you get no feedback from people enjoying your music it can be hard to find the will to fire up the sequencer, bash out a beat, and get your party of one started. But hey, it's your thread, and your life, so do whatever makes you happy :). More about me when I post up a couple of tracks I did in P5 recently to finish up the album.

Cheers guys for the listen and comments.

Wholy s**t! #1 in sub, #2 overall ? WTF, who's drap are you "cleaning"


I wouldn't personally give that a number 1, but wtf do I know, I dont even like this kind-a music

Just kiddin man... This is an AWSOME track, well deserving of #1. I mean, for the genera (I dont know how to spell it - memphis edukation), this is some bad ass ****! You just gained a ton of respect with me via this track!

Nice build in intensity and complexity. Enjoyed it

Listening now - seems up to your usual high standards. Enjoying it.
