RE: my first online track!
I have to agree that the track is not wildly original. OK, not even vaguely original
Remember that this is for a film, though, and that the director requested something like the Pi soundtrack. So my intent was to create some music best suited to what I think is gonna be a very good, suspenseful film, and I wasn't to worried about being on the cutting edge of d'n'b or anything. I wish I could have posted the whole track as I believe the extended intro and last 3 minutes add to the originality by being quite a bit more symphonic/thematic than most d'n'b. But I'm just rationalizing here. Point taken--it sounds a hell of a lot like some of the Full Cycle stuff. "Clear Skies" by Bill Riley and "Tronic Funk" by Test were both in my head as I started picked up my bass last month. I spent SO long trying to get my bass part to sound like the super-fat electric bass sound on "Tronic Funk" but I completely failed on that count. Oh well, it's done, and hopefully, I'll be hearing this shit at the Angelika next year.
Sorry to be dumb, kilo, but I'm not sure what you mean. I can link to a track posted on another server here? To be honest, it's not even clear to me where this song is right now. On a server hard drive at your place? As far as I know, we encoded this track at the lowest resolution possible. Feel free to address these questions in a private email if they're really silly. I'm embarassingly naive about most computer stuff. Thanks for the kind words, as well. I'm glad that you don't think I'm "polishing turds"
I've got a bunch of other, rather different-sounding, tracks to post as soon as I can track down the ever-mysterious DJ Inkognito again. But one of them, man, if you thought this one was derivative...
Thanks again.
