sAeR - A song that hopefully isn't

It's a very work in progress,

Theres a lot of things I like, and a lot of things I dislike.

ANnndddd... There is a lot of Max/MSP.

Questions and comments are encouraged and appreciated.

Some interesting sounds man, pretty original but i reckon the drums need a bit of work, but for a 'work in progress' it's pretty developed. I really like all the 'general weirdness' sounds that run through the track. Also, kudos for using Max/MSP, I'm yet to try it due to lack of money but I might just get P.D. since it was made by the same guy and it's free

Thanks for the listen

Yeah, the drums are played mostly by Max coding, that's why they sound so... "off time" kinda.

All of those sounds are a combination of Abletons "Operator" and a Moog, both put through Max.

I just mastered the track, follow the link above to hear the new one.

Hey there,

I'm only just starting to use Reason and from what I can hear in your work,

you're technically very good. I think your song takes a little time to get

going (I'm not sure about the drums at the start) but you then build it

beautifully with some lovely haunting melodies that sound excellent. There

was a place where the levels didn't sound perfect, but that's a minor thing,

the track is excellent overall, well done, a really good effort.

after about 1:00 it sounds really nice! i absolutely loved bol (and hope to hear its latest cut soon!) and this is a wonderful follow up. sounds fantastic! i've actually been in the process of working on a few tools in max (specifically using max4live) for loads of stuff - both dsp and sequencing. perhaps sometime you'd like to try something along the lines of a collab?!

Bol3 is on the way, I working on it now, getting rid of dead weight, eqing things different.

As for sAeR thanks for the listen, and thanks for the comments. A full quality version can be found here

As for Collab, of course, just let me in on what you have in mind. (I'm right now studying for stupid mid-terms. so it might have to wait a little.)

i need to try my hand at max

EDIT: but that kind of workflow does not seem "Fun" to me

hehe yeah... coming from a computer science and electrical engineering background, programs like supercollider and max are most exciting for me. i'm working on somethin juicy at the moment...

I am the brother of a software engineer, and I am an Audio Engineer.

Max is the most exciting thing in my life.
