its repetative, electronic and proud.

hi there i know I,ve not been around lately but heres one of the resons why, its not mixed down yet , I,m trying to leave that for a different session so as not to confuse my l-r brain functioning.

its constructed to be mixed by Dj so its DJ friendly with regards its structure.

anyway please feel free to listen and critique.

left turn to midnight

Very cool, Bubbles! Nicely evolving while still remaining minimalistic, and the synths sound like they're trying to talk...
LOVED it!

thanks for the feedback and kind words guys

bill: cheers man its good to be back and thanks for the support.

sonic: thanks and yes i know what you mean about the synths almost sounding like they're talking, i think perhaps its down to me experimenting with riffs playing sustained notes for a duration of 3/8ths with some oscilation and a little upward glide some where near the middle, ....i think anyway glad you liked it.

nnc:

very smoooove! Reminds me of early 808 State...great track.
Will you actually be getting this into the hands of DJ's?- (something I'm contemplating with my stuff)....

cheers, i was actually thinking myself it had a kind of early 90's nievity and simplisity about it. One of the sounds reminded me of an old luke slater 12" i have.

as for getting it pressed, well i doubt it, although i often think about it. I,m just to unmotivated to chase those things these days, i just like creating music for myself really (I,m not as young as i used to be).....but who knows maybe I,ll get discovered one day.


still its not the hard to do if your intersted and prepaired to do the leg work yourself. you might not make your money back but at least you'll have your own record!!!!! and alot of ashtrays/frizzbees/novilty placemats

conversly though you might make $100,000

Yeah, Kieran! Loved the evolution of this. Liked the syncopations in the snare and hi-hat sounds, once they got started. There were nice transitions as sounds entered and exited, too. My favorite from you, so far.

I'd love to collaborate with you sometime (somehow) on something.

M

thanks for the replies guys,

blipp:

I've always been meaning to do a detroit style track myself. Maybe this track has given me the impetus to do it.

john about time you put that plan into action, non? what have you got to lose? and i cetainly don,t mind sounding like juan atkins i spent more than a few hours of my life bouncing around to his tunes in dark london warehouses.

M; thanks again for for the support, I,ve been listening alot to jazz lately in particular early miles davis, and have been trying to recreate some of that feel and swing into my own stuff in particular the drums.

As for the collaboration...well I,m flattered, and definatly interested. although we'll perhaps need to hang on a bit before starting something as I'm about to move house in the next 2 weeks, so it,ll take awhile to get up and running again. So if you don,t mind waiting a bit I,m sure we can sort something out.

ed:

Interesting cross genre piece - electronica sounds, jazzy chords, and dance beat based on a Brazilian/Samba rhythm.

you always impress me, I think you caught about every musical influense i have there I love that latin swing, and jazzy groove. I only wish i could capture it better in my own stuff. I was always amazed at just how much feeling and swing could come out of a jazz trio or quartet. so few instuments but so much emotion.

What else could one ask for?

nina simon or bjork, to sing over the top?

anyway thanks people for sharing your thoughts with me as always its really appriciated. And sorry for the slow responces, thing are getting alittle hectic pre move......

BTW its all me this, no pre fab loops or riffs.

king regards

kieran

very cool. nice and subtle.
I've been listening to a lot of material like this for the past 3 weeks as my buddy and I have opened up a vodka bar (hence the infrequent postings). Sitting here in front of the PC with a JD and ice it's the perfect thing to get the alpha waves going.

Happy birthday, Kieran

Happy birthday, Kieran

Very observant.

Happy Birthday, Kiernan
May all of your bubbles come true.

thanks for the feed back and birthday greetings everyone

what did you
use to voice the lead?

well i had had to go back and check, but its something like this.

to start with i used a subractor synth within reason, and chose the TB synth patch which is a 303 clone and one of the closest sounding patchs i have found. i then copied the riff from the first synth bass line and used this as a template for the second synth, however this time i altered the pattern slightly to give a little variation.

i also added synced lfo to this alternating between oscilation and freq cut settings.

I then added liberal amounts of reverb (hall) and delay (1/8 delay i think so its sits neatly behind the beat giving it body) some chourus/flanger and a phaser.

then i adjusted the filter freq. and filter res. (in real time) to cut the sound in and out of the track,as a DJ might, also you can change the groove of the piece by sweeping away highs adding an extra bass line or build up rises depending on the settings of these two controls

with the delay setting you are assured of in tempo sounds even if your chopping is a little out and although you can always edit it later sometimes i feel the lttle odd cuts can add flavor to a track.

well thats about it thanks again for the support people. i hope i can get back to responding to a few others tracks soon as well. (house move 1st june and counting)

and good luck with your new venture paul

I like this a lot kieran.

Actually about a minute into it - I started to hear the Tears for Fears singing "Shout" acapella.
Now there's a thought...
