ORIHALCON - I AM NOT HAEZER (The Handle Remix) (FREE DOWNLOAD)

500 followers already?!? When I first joined SoundCloud I never thought I'd get that many. I've come a long way since then, learning more and more techniques to improve the quality of my sounds, and making many friends as well. I've gotten to the point where I can now make my tracks completely from scratch, percussion and all. If you had gone back in time 2 years ago and told me I'd be making everything from scratch with SunVox, I would've been awestruck. Of course, I couldn't have gotten this far without my followers and friends continuing to support me, giving me the confidence to try something truly different and go against the grain that so many mainstream producers have chosen to follow. As cheesy as it is, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. That's why I've decided to create this track at the highest quality I can reasonably offer (time is limited nowadays, with college starting up again). It's a .wav exported at 96,000 Hz. Feel free to use it in mixtapes, remix it, send it to friends, and so on. Without your support, no one would know about me.

On a side note, I'd like to take a moment to explain what I plan on doing with "The Handle". I'd like to keep it as a hobby. Yes, I could probably make some money selling tracks, but I feel like that would take away from my current goal: to be a responsible producer who shows that free music isn't automatically "bad" music, who doesn't use samples he didn't create, who shares his knowledge so that our knowledge of sound can increase, who continues expanding on ideas that have been discarded simply because they aren't considered to be profitable/popular, who understands that not everyone can buy their samples (there's a sample pack coming later for exactly this reason), and who makes the music he makes simply because he loves making it (and if my followers enjoy it, that's a plus).

I started making minimal partly because I loved it, then really started messing with it when I saw an article online claiming that "minimalists have gotten bored". I set out to prove that claim wrong, and got into oldschool dubstep for exactly the same reason (another article saying it was dead.....they couldn't be farther from the truth). Wherever I see a lack of variety, I see a chance to show that the only thing holding producers back is themselves. Genres are simply categories used to help consumers find what they want. Without them, fiction and non-fiction books would be mixed together in libraries, and video games like Call Of Duty and Tetris would be grouped into one massive pile.

So why Fidget House for the special track? I started out listening to tons of artists like Crookers, Switch, Oliver $, Jesse Rose, Fake Blood, Hijack, Justice, Danger, Daft Punk, Deadmau5, The Bloody Beetroots, Boys Noize, Mr. Oizo, and (the most influential artist on my style) Shadow Dancer. My favorite genres were (and still are) Fidget House, Electro House, 2-Step, Minimal, Tech House, DnB, Garage, Triphop, Glitch Hop, and Dubstep. But my all-time favorite has always been Fidget House. The skill required to warp, cut, and distort the vocals and synths always appealed to me, and the bat-shit-crazy activity of the tracks always got me dancing. So you can imagine my heartbreak when it essentially died around late 2010. I swore I would learn to make it (since most of my favorite artists had stopped producing it), not only for myself but also for those that enjoyed the style. I would later do the same for Industrial, Rhythmic Noise, Psy Trance, Electro Trash, Glitch Hop, DnB, and Dubstep.

Everything except the vocals is made 100% from scratch with SunVox. The vocals are from "The behind the scenes kinda stuff", a recording I uploaded a bit ago.

Zombie Killers & The Handle - Pestilence (2012)

The download link for this was broken so I'm reuploading it.

This was a collab between me and GÖR FLSH. I had originally uploaded a track named "Snow Storm", and he had the idea of combining it with his style to make quite the brutal track. I supplied the arpeggios, screeches and choirs, and he supplied the electro and bangin percussion \m/

The Handle - Noise Grinder (2016)

Finally finished! Wanted to wait to come back to this one when I was ready. The wait paid off. Unfortunately I only had the acapella to work with (the other stems have been removed from soundcloud), so I was limited in what I could use from the original.

Custom FM exp dubstep

Made with SunVox. The snare and cymbal are both from Wave Alchemy (the snare is actually 3 layered snares which I manipulated and combined in Audacity).

The artwork is a picture I took on my way home from work. Feel free to download it and stuff :P

Here's what I envision when listening to this track:

0:00 You lie on a snowy hill overlooking a clearing at night, taking in the cool breeze that lightly brushes against your cheek, as though it were a ghost's delicate kiss. Everything looks so pristene, covered in a blanket of white snow, with icicles dripping lazily from the branches of the trees speckling the field.

0:57 As the sun rises and bathes you in its warmth, you watch as the level of snow lethargically melts into the grass like a pool of water into a sponge.

1:36 The snow finally clears, and flowers of all kinds begin to rise from the ground, first as buds,
then exploding into a boquet of vibrant colors.

1:56 The wind gently picks up and creates waves on the field of flowers, carrying the soft scent of nectar through the air.

2:33 The sun is now at its highest, and the grass is glowing a bright green, adding to the already awesome spectacle. Butterflies and other insects pepper the clearing, dancing around the flowers in the bright sunlight

3:11 The sun begins to set, fading the bright blue sky to a deep mixture of red, orange, yellow, and purple. The insects disappear and the wind grows faint.

3:50 It is now nighttime. The plain basks in a pale glow as you gaze at the stars in wonder, and the wind becomes a quiet rustle in the leaves.

4:29 You smile with a knot in your throat as you feel the breeze kiss your cheek one last time before everything falls silent.
