This is super cool. Almost sounds like Sd Laika. Whats did you do with the kicks? They sound very rumbly. super interesting stuff.

hey, thanks!  i'm pretty sure that i achieved that sound by hitting the kicks pretty aggressively with ableton's amp simulator and then finishing it off with a gate to trim off the rumbly tail.

Woah. Cool as hell.

i ended up resampling reaction for another track.  this one is likely still a draft

another early draft

this is an update to the track i posted back on may 10th

got experimental, wrote a 20 bpm track

kinda got some early aphex vibes here

some drum and bass

more downtempo vibes:

Drums on this are hypnotic, feels like a long bike ride.

another downtempo kinda track

pretty effin tight man. Love the line that comes in around 1:35 w/ the building drums and bass. Transition around 2:35 is heavenly. The drop in around 3:20 is a nice bridge to some excellent drumwork in the latter half. Nice to hear some uplifting sounds in a time of such dark haziness. 

took the beat from Xper (posted on the 26th), developed it a bit and got this out of it

dunno if this one lacks cohesion

Love the bit around 2:47 where this turns into the audio equivalent of a cronenburg movie. OK, that's a bit overstating it, but it was an unexpected left turn into something ...darker than I was expecting. 

I've mixed feelings about the ending. I kind of want this to trail off into something ethereal but it kind of does the opposite. It makes me uncomfortable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. 

Overall, aces. Like that even slower stuff like this of yours sounds as good as the more hectic tunes. 

hey man, thanks for the excellent critiques / feedback, i really appreciate it.

here's another downtempo kinda track

Solid track through and through.  The drum loop are really well cut up, and the DSP is really nice.  That being said, I'd be interested to hear an ambient/minimal version with those background bells as well.  They have a really nice hovering quality to them.  

might add another part in the end, this is it for now.

Man, really love the synths/rising action that hits around 2 minutes into this piece, moving through the section where the beat drops out. Also like that the end here is beatless, and strips things down to the base melody. I had a visceral, emotional reaction to this. It truly moved me. 

I could see adding something to the end of this like you're thinking, maybe some sort of chime/mallet sounds w/ a lush delay? However, could also see you pruning this a bit and shortening everything up a bit. As is, think it's great - again, it hit me in my heart, which (to me) is the most important thing.  

just a little ambient jam with my emu mp7's internal synth engine

i'll probably refine this further
