Electronica with Rapture, Dim Pro

Since I was snowed in here in Maryland for the weekend I did an experiment with Rapture electronica soft synths. Also included some Dim Pro tracks. Children under 86 should not listen to this.

    There is a pattern appearing in your style, dissonance, you do seems to like using that quite extensively or do you prefer atonal scales.
     
    Interesting I am not sure I could sit through much as it does just sounds like it is wandering with no real root, or theme but then if you enjoy.
     
    Thanks for sharing.

    It was interesting. A bit anxiety inducing to me but I am probably in the minority with this feeling.

    LOL. Yea. Thanks all for your comments. I think I'm the only one that likes the dissonant chord progression :). I did make a few changes. I reduced and changed 2 pad tracks that seemed to create an evil low end muddy mix. Also reduced the Rapture phaser trancer track and brought the saw bass up a little. Well I think it's a tad better anyway even if no one including my family likes it :)

    I gave it a listen.  I guess I have more tolerance for this kind of thing, as I thought it was pretty interesting all the way through.  Nice work, and thanks for posting!
     
    That being said, I think the bright sound design choices and upbeat rhythms seem at odds with the basic meandering (lack of) chord structure.  What if you slowed it down and chose some darker sounding instruments?  It might make for a slick horror/sci-fi environment track.  Just a suggestion.
