decided i'd try to do a little rewrite of royksopp's "only this moment" from "the understanding" (2005). i'm not extremely happy with it, but happy enough to put it up...the only part that really makes me happy is that nice reverberating triangle instrument (3xOsc with a little bit of reverb and delay.)

hope you all enjoy :D

(for the record, i started this originally to transcribe it to guitar, but got carried away with it...)

Röyksopp - Only This Moment (rawrgb rewrite, WIP)

just playing with slicex a little bit in fl. i intend to eventually do a real remix of this song, but for now this almost identical version with a weak beat throughout will suffice, i suppose...

Tcy Force - Chocolat feat. Mariya Ise (rawrgb minor rearrangement, majorly WIP)

seems that soundcloud's compression kind of thrashed my hats again. download it if you'd like to hear it without those artifacts on the transients.

Callisto (WIP, 50% there)

this started out as an enthusiastic attempt at using vocals in a track. they're from veela's new release "night vision", and more specifically from image-line's vocals pack they released for their contest to remix that song, if you're curious.

i don't know if it's going anywhere, but i thought i'd put it up to see what kinds of reactions i get, if any. using the default fl10 drum kit once again -- cheesy by now, but it works. :\

ok, after a lot of playing around and listening to it over and over, i can't think of anything else to change. i think i'm just going to call this one done (which is a first for me). :D

Veela - Night Vision (rawrgb remix)

the first thing i've written where i just arranged all the loops and patterns in fl and used fl's "live mode" + an APC40 (just for the knobs and faders) and recorded myself. turned out pretty neat, i think. :)

C418 - Droopy Likes Your Face (demo, rawrgb rewrite)

yes, it's repetitive, and yes the pikes in the beginning are more than a little cheesy. i was experimenting with "hands up"-type big, clashy chords, but they kind of fall flat. just an exercise.
argh, is that self-deprecatory enough? :)


Basic Club Driver

kind of a pun on "i remember". needs a *ton* of work and it's only half-done, but that's normal.
*edit*: made it much longer, trying some new stuff out. added some clips from a voicemail.

i think some explanation is in order...

basically, this song is supposed to be a contrast to "i remember". i take "i remember" as equating music and memory -- regardless of what happens, the music will remind you. you'll be able to gather up all those experiences and make them a part of you.

now, what if you didn't remember? what if you didn't learn, didn't grow, didn't even realize what was happening? what if the music was an opiate, shoving you deeper and deeper into yourself, lulling you to sleep with a repetitive sugary melody? that's what i was trying to get at here -- music isn't always a positive force. it can be an illusion; distraction can become the focus of one's life.

(by the way, that was my rationale for the clips imploring the listener to wake up, which are ignored as the song plunges into yet another refrain. a little cheesy, but yeah...)

I Can't Remember (WIP)

Rough and Tumble (In Our Younger Days) (WIP)

a "daily audio meditation", i.e. a short experiment with a new technique that i try to complete as quickly as possible.

Just a demo of an idea that struck me (lightly; it didn't mean any harm, really.)

TODO:
- fix transitions, especially that bad key transition 2/3rds through
  - relax the lowpass on the lead at that point, too
  - add more variation to the lead melody past that point, too?
- actually do mastering and fix the earbleed
- vary up the arp throughout
- maybe add some bass?
