Still really dissapointed that you failed to send me stems for the remix.

Sorry man I just never got around to it. I'll try and do it this weekend.

New track/demo ting. Hope you enjoy. This one is about 2 years old. https://soundcloud.com/thebro/skippy-beats-demo

 

 

I can totally see this as the background track to an early 90's teach yourself english video cassette.

 

I would definitely say this is on one of those casettes, but it's a casette produced by Chromeo.

Thanks although I don't think I'm on the same level as Chromeo!!

Could use some slap bass

Which track?

New Birth (Demo)

Too weird for me lol. I don't really think I have anything positive to add as I couldn't get into it. Sorry. :-)

Thanks for being a troll - you just created more interest in my thread lol.

Skippy beat reminds me a little of Vibert, with the classic drum breaks being replaced by stock midi drums. Either incredibly tongue in cheek and/or just bad taste ;-) , still some funk left. Felt you could have switched up, variated the melodic bits more half into the track.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I definitely felt it sounded like Luke Vibert too - I even named it Wagon Beats before I came up with the original title Skippy Beats lol. Agree with your comments about varying the melodic bits in the second half of the track!

Another new bit I've been working on. Not sure where to take it so open to advice. On a bit of hip hop/idm/funk tip this one. Check it out! https://soundcloud.com/thebro/omg-demo

Too out there for me dude but fair play on being highly creative!

Listen to that room sound on those drums!

Buff Jamz!!!

I feel like I have as much cereal as Jerry Seinfeld.

cracktro music.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yeah man I would recommend ditching the generic/preset/stock sounds. Your ideas are workable but everything is rigidly locked to a grid, executed without regard for dynamics or articulation or timefeel or vibe or texture, all with factory patches.

Focus on that stuff and you'll be pointed in the right direction IMO.

I think you have a style of your own, The Bro. It reminds me of Tim Heidecker (from Tim & Eric) a bit, are you familiar?

I say, keep doing it the way you are doing it, and go even more extreme with what you're already doing. If people say you are rigid and boring, get even more rigid and less dynamic to the point that there are no dynamics at all, and no flexibility at all, then you might create a new kind of music.

Make bandcamp albums of these tunes to gather them into groups, with awesome cool cover art.

Thanks Skibby for the kind words. Anyways here's another one. Only a rough sketch sort of thing. I plan on working on it more but thought I'd upload to get folks thoughts. Safe!

Yeah I mean definitely keep in mind that people's comments and criticisms are colored by their personal tastes, and it's all to be taken with a grain of salt.

Oh sure. I know this ain't the easiest place to get opinions on my music 'cause I don't really do idm. More like funk vibes with a Bro flavour. You're right though personal taste limits what I can enjoy here and I'll be honest 90% of the tracks I listen to I still can't get into but I can appreciate technically.

extend that so its much longer, then write lyrics down, and 'sing' the lyrics with a lead instrument except you don't hear the words, just the phrasing of those lyrics that in the end, only you will know what it says. not like a vocoder, more like muzak.

totally agree with skibs, go even more extreme with those. complexify structures, arrangements and all. make that generic video game funk vibe epic. maximize that language.

think cool spot

^^that's the best gif i've ever seen.

what is that dot from? I love him.

New uplfiting deep house track I'm working on. Let me know what you think. Safe!! https://soundcloud.com/thebro/sweetheart-demo

Isn't that cool spot .gif saying that the Bro is a Sup dupe?
