This is my first attempt at EDM. A very short 2 minute miscalleneous track with a nice 303 bass synth made purely by fun.

This was made when i was hanging out with @littlemusicboy1628 and we started doing earrape and try to recreate the synths from the song Africa from Toto. Eventually this came down to this. Dont ask how, but as they say, great things often come from accidents, right?

I hope you enjoy listening to it nontheless.

The Music Is Moving

This is my second attempt at EDM. I actually think this turned out to be not bad, altough, i am saying it again, i really dont do this stuff often.

Fun fact: The robotic "aaa" sound you hear all the way panned to the right was actually one of my friend's voice saying asd, and then i had it looped over.

As for the middle section, it turned out to be quite chaotic. I was originally going for a hardstyle kind of vibe there, but i ended up with way crazier stuff that was all over place.

This track took some time to make, but it was mostly because i was not really doing anything with it until now. I finally finished it though this week.

Yeah. Not much else to comment. Enjoy!

Robot

A sensual track out of my WIP album, Parts Of Me.

Love?

Another track out of my WIP album, Parts Of Me.

Kicking off 2023 with a brand new experimental EDM track! Smaller project, made this in the span of 2 weeks, came out pretty decent, in my opinion.

The main melody line and the beeps were made with a Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot, and a PO-24 Office pocket synth.

Hope you enjoy, and keep climbing!

Crish-Crush

Greetings, fellow climbers of mine. This time, i just finished another minor project of mine, actually something that i started months ago, but had no pathway to actually finish.

You know the feeling when you start something, figure out that you cant go any further with it after 10 minutes, leave it for almost an eternity, and coming back to it with such clarity that everything just clicks in your head? This is what i had with this track.

The main synth line that is being played throughout the whole song originally served as a basis for a synthwave project. At my first attempts, i tried to mend it with some standard amen breaks and classic touches that you would normally find in the genre. It didnt really work out.

Like any person put in a situation like this, i pretty much salvaged this whole project, and i moved on to others. So how did this track actually come to life?

One day, while listening to them again, my good old german industrial metal friend, Rammstein, provided me with a benchmark that quickly turned into an influence. I realized this synth track would work perfecly in a setting like this, and i instantly got to work. I started out with robust, and hard hitting drums as a foundation for the synth track, and the rest was pretty much natural imagination (with the power of the Spirit) taking me to different places. I spent hours fine tuning the guitar tone with Guitar Rig 6, using RZK's own amp emulation to get it raw and gritty as much as i can to his head-blasting sound.

I made sure that while you are listening to this, this would almost physically hit you hard, like all those glorious records from Rammstein's golden age. Technically speaking, i think i did a pretty good job on this, it received a level of polish that i dont think any of my previous tracks ever had. Im pretty proud of myself, if you ask me. :D

Enjoy this refreshing, and gut-punching track made with the power of the Spirit, and the sounds of pure firebombs!

Unsichtbar

Greetings!

I know I said in my last post that I will not make anymore experimental stuff, but i recently came across this WIP synthwave project that i really wanted to finish, however i was cut short by struggling to give the drums that old-school 80s vibe i was looking for.

I dusted off my creativity, and got to work on what eventually became a really really cool song in my opinion. It took 2-3 days me to finish it after I had the basics laid down, proving myself that I can work fast if i want to in the process. I also really like the layered synths- all of them come together to form a melody that has a stimulating effect on my spiritual presence almost.

Fun fact, this is my 20th audio submission here on NG, and yes, im very proud of it, as all of the sounds, melodies, and rhythms i have created over the years. Let this trip to the 80s enchant you on your nights, study sessions, or wherever you might need it.

Keep climbing.

Space Casettes

Greetings, fellow travelers!

You might wonder about my musical journey, and what happened with my signature progressive rock style. Ill be returning to it, since this will probably be the last experimental EDM song ill be making for a while.

Im actually pretty pleased how this track turned out! Never made tech house before, but the beat quickly earned the Spirit's approval, through the dozens of friends ive showed this to. They were into it as much as i was, and I hope that you will have the same feeling while listening.

Sidenote, this song is a part of the Jack The Box  collab! Its running till the end of July, so feel free to hop on the train, and make some bangers together!

Thats all. Keep climbing!

Substance

This is a full cover of Foo Fighters's "Everlong", off their 1997 album, "The Color and The Shape." Every instrument has been played/programmed by me, including vocals.

I wanted to make a cover a long time ago, and i thought that i would include it in my upcoming album, "Parts Of Me." I originally had tons and tons of ideas what song to dig up including a bunch of Tool songs, Flaw's "Best I Am" among others, and then i ultimatly ended up on this.

The reason's are pretty self-explanetory. The song is catchy, well-known, relatively easy to cover, and the song in its entirety is reminiscent of the style this album encapsulates, while its lyrics tell a deep sense of feelings about love and longing.

For this song, i went ahead and used my voice again, and along with some Melodyne after-tuning, the results were pretty convincing. My singing definitely improved, at least in my opinion.

For the guitars, i used a Guitar Rig 5 preset, which i then loaded into 6, tweaked maybe 2 settings, and it gave me a sound that was relatively close to the original, yet still booming and powerful.

Along with the drums and basses, (which were actually completely plugins), it took 3-4 weeks to put this together, which became my first full-length cover. I wanted to do a sort of remake on the original, which means i wanted to get as close as i could to the original work, while not sacrificing modern production methods. I hope you will enjoy listening to it.

I would also like to take this opportunity to dedicate this song to a very special someone that is no longer walking climbing the same mountain as I, but the marks they left in me will forever be etched into my heart. My lost princess, i still love you. And if you somehow found this and reading this, just know that every once in a while, im still thinking about you. JSMN43V3R1NMY<3
