Captagon Limit Extended 909 Sr - 47 Tw Mix

I made this track at work after being caffeinated enough to be drumming on my desk. I had the thought that I should just download the plug in I use for drums and just start making beats in Reason. 
After I got the drum beat down, I added the weird arpeggiated sounds that have a continuous six note pattern that flows over the usual bar lines because I love it when there's a pattern that's absolutely unconstrained by the usual repeating bar lines regardless of how stupid it lines up on the grid. I also really liked have a more percussive element as the main part of the arpeggio with the actual synth sounds to support the notes layered behind it becuase I don't think I've ever done something like that. 
After that it was a simple matter of creating a simple chord progression to loop with the drums, add bass, and that sketches out the main loop. 
For some reason I've been playing around with using Reason's main mixer to add effects and stuff a lot lately. So a lot of the filtering is automation of the main mixer's high and low pass filters.

Track best experienced in headphone because that's how it was produced. 
 I listened back on my macbook speakers to make sure it translated decently, but I've never listened to it super loud so I have no idea if it actually holds up. 
Cheers, y'all.
Thanks for reading.

Preview from the new tape! Happy Halloween!!

The Curse - Prod. by Xack Brame

In Oct ’16, a friend died of a drug overdose. Within the next 2 years, several other peers died of either overdose or suicide. I wrote this song about how this all made me feel, and how much it sucks when your friends die. Jane was that first friend’s middle name, so we titled it “Jane” a la ‘Jane Doe’ because everyone has a ‘Jane’ that they’ve lost. We recorded with Nick Diener (The Swellers) at Oneder Studios. The official video released on 4/12 (shot by Chelsea Marrin) -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhIRz7cR4rU.

Lyrics:
Well I can’t believe a whole year’s gone by
I guess I never really was good with time
There’s so many things I never got to say
I’m sure I’ll let you know one of these days

You wore your war paint with a smile
We lost the battle but you made the fight worthwhile

We all have our time eventually
You’ll always be with us in our memories
So goodbye for now
Over and out
I guess I’ll see you around
I’ll see you around

Well another year has come and gone
It’s been a rough one but we’re still pressing on
I found a photograph of us last night
I know wherever that you ended up you’ll be alright

I still have war paint on my eyes
Your short time here meant more than you’d ever realize

I wrote a letter addressed to you
condolences for all you’ve been through
Told you I missed you and I’m sure we’ll meet again
Then I struck a match, set it ablaze
Engulfed the anger and the pain
But it shed some light the same way that you did for me
Way back when

I’ll see you around

Magnetic Man - Flying Into Tokyo (AZEDIA remix)

We can't hang like we used to. Our anthem for aging punks!
Video by Alex Zarek -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RontaBePpw

Lyrics:
Another day, another night
Another chance for me to disappoint
I used to just self-medicate
With a bottle of Jack Daniel's and a joint
Well lately I'll put 3 or 4 away
And fall asleep by 10 PM
I'm wondering if I'll ever see
The animal that I used to be again

This body's growing old
I'm losing all control
I'm one and done, it's not okay
I just can't make believe
This is the real me
These days it's easier to say
No thanks! I'll do without
No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without
No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without

What happened to the days where
We'd get fucked up 'til the sun would show its face?
Where every drop of alcohol would make sure
The good times didn't go to waste
Well lately I've been struggling
To hold on to what's left of my youth
I can't hang like I used to
I'm beginning to accept the fucking truth

This body's growing old
I'm losing all control
I'm one and done, it's not okay
I just can't make believe
This is the real me
These days it's easier to say
No thanks! I'll do without
No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without
No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without

No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without
No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without
No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without
No thanks!
No thanks!
No thanks! I'll do without

Just Watch Me

Hi, I'm Xack. 
I can't stop making music.
It may or may not be a problem at this point in my life.

That being said, I'm using my SoundCloud as a place to collect all the miscellaneous tracks that I've helped create in some capacity over the years.
Some of these tracks are rough demos.
Some of them are undiscovered gold.
Some of them are irredeemable garbage.

Please listen and let me know what you think.
This whole page is a constant work in progress.
Final products coming never. 
(also check out my bandcamp for actual finished albums I've worked on)
