A new release put out on a friends label called Balance came out on Friday. Downtempo and Ambient with a nice Ambient Techno remix to end it from Coppice Halifax. This is really a love letter to the Japanese Electronic Music scene as far as downtempo and chillout stuff goes. Took a whopping 4 years to complete and is supported by Hiroshi Watanabe (Aka Kaito and Tread if people know him better as those). I'm impressed that something that started out as just a little Ep to go with the track Night Warmth turned into a full album.

Actually recorded something last night. Just jamming out and got a good thing going and hit record. 2 gameboys running nanoloop, 1 going into my modular through a filter and delay module carrying drum and bass duties, the other just doing the dub plink running into my monomachine reverb and modulated delay. Lots of modulation going on, lots of manual tweaking of the delay module

My album Balance has made a year end list. First time an album of mine has made any year end list. And to top it off, it is the 2014 year end list of Hiroshi Watanabe (aka Kaito). This makes me so happy!

Not going to mess around with this song anymore. Can't think of ways to improve the melodies without f-ing up the structure.

Some Downtempo track I made for Tunguska Electronic Music Society. I quite like how this turned out. Surprised me that I could make something during the holidays. https://soundcloud.com/deepwarmth/deepw ... in/s-rkUpv

My brother and i have started composing some new material which we'll record shortly and recorded some jam sessions as well.
This came out of a freely improvised session wherein we slid into a two chord progression and i played a solo that i thought turned out pretty well.
Don't really know why i'm posting this. I guess i'd just like some feedback on my playing or something like that.

This has been turned in for the remix album companion to my album Balance, which was released last year. A Deep journey from Hiroshi Watanabe aka Kaito of the title track. Thought I'd be nice and share something from one of my favorite artists.

I really liked this one; it's hard to describe but it feels like a nice vintage hard/grungy rock song you'd listen to at the turn of the century. As my comment on the page says, a little work on the drums is needed. Some proper mix work can give them a little more force and presence and general volume mixing/panning to make sure various instruments don't overwhelm each other. Great work though.

This track's thumpin'. Cool stuff; it's competently mixed and keeps up the pace. This is a remix?

Intro to the Living Legend:
https://soundcloud.com/ec2151/rov-intro ... ing-legend

First new track in forever. Short (and sweet?). I'd love to hear some feedback from the musically-knowledgeable. I was sort of inspired by the Valis games of all things. Or at least the -idea- of the Valis games.

The piano on this track sounds better on my headphones than my computers middling/ok-ish speakers. Not sure which to trust. I make music with my headphones so I mix around that.

Impressive. I was thinking how competently soundtrack-y it was before I noticed the 'OST' in the track title. I've never played Valis, but it definitely feels as if it belongs somewhere in an epic story. I like the subtle drum shuffle and the overall track progression. And the piano sounds fine on my super-crappy earbuds.


Here's one from my latest instrumental project: park sunday (Long Beach)
https://soundcloud.com/opsfromchi/park- ... long-beach

I utilized some field recordings I made at a skate park last year. Using found sounds is something I've wanted to do for a while. Still pretty basic usage at this point, but I think it gives the track a nice sense of place.

(I started a new soundcloud account cuz I got tired of having hundreds of 'followers' and only getting a handful of plays. At least now the two numbers should more closely match each other.)

Great track you have here. It is a remix, the mp3 I linked. He's released on Kompakt as Kaito. The original album is linked in the thread. I'm really stoaked about the remix album. Is sounding good.

Now i feel old :P
Thanks , glad you enjoyed it.

Sort of limited with this Alesis DM lite :| (very bad quality for even £200).
Its maybe the first song of mine I've played live on the drums.

I've tried twice over the years to get this released on other labels, and due to crap it has not come out. Pirates causing the closing of the second label that gave me my first cd release, but that's besides the point. Releasing later this year on my own label some Space Ambient/Drone stuff on an album called Floating Suns. You can hear the second track from the release on my soundcloud called Cold Winter In Space.

My Ambient Techno track Over There, The Sea ends this fantastic Techno VA release called Incoming Frequencies II. I'm excited to be on the label and have one of my 2 albums to be released on the label out next month. I'm very excited to have been asked to take part. I didn't know any of the artists other than Owen Ni and now I'm glad to be on it. Fantastic release!

anyways, planning on getting the full version of propellerhead's Reason 5 - already have a simple midi keyboard lying around somewhere. So, as soon as progress on learning the software bears small fruits, I'll make sure to remember about this thread.
Speaking of which, any "Reason" users here?

Reason 5 is the dope.
Reason 7 user here. I do chip stuff as well, mainly with Deflemask.

Been in a slump, recently. Trying to get out of it by forcing myself into either program every day or so. At the very least, I've come up with some nice sound effects in Reason!

Brand new album out on Run On Recordings as of today. Five tracks of deep Ambient and Drone mixed with Techno beatwork to create some Ambient Techno or Drone Techno, which ever you'd like to call it. Really impressed by the album's artwork that was created for it. Really something different indeed. Limited to 100 copies of the Cd.
