: My songs
: Darqsunscreen April 26, 2013, 05:59:16 PM

Hi all!


I wanted to just share some things I made. I have no musical history what soever so please keep that in mind.


I've made some songs with "scream tracker" or "impulse tracker" or "fast tracker" under dos when I was around 15. Than I stopped for 15 years making anything and just recently I bought a digital piano and started making "music" again with FL Studio, Ableton and some other tools. Like my Steinway 2 database wich trumps my digital piano output.


Anyway here are a few links.


These I've made when I was 15.

These I made when I was around 29 till now (33) after I got my piano.

Also I slow down Aphex Twin Tracks or sometimes speed them up and post the remix on youtube. Here's a few examples.

Nice dude, I'm impressed.
I especially like alone in the dark, just sounds so good. Will continue listen to the other songs.
+1 to you.

Really. wow I'm so embarrassed when I listen to them. Like man be more creative please.. Allot of copy paste going on and I always tell people how I love aphex twin cause he never does that.


Thanks though.

I'm just... Amazed! Dude, you have something here. Really! Please keep creating.

I also loved the "Alone in the dark", and "Sustain" is very interesting. You also have some interesting ideas on most of the other recordings.

[+2], if I don't forget to give you the extra one.

Alone in the dark - I quite like. I was expecting something scary but instead I got cheerful :)

Sustain - Interesting. For some reason, I think it would go well with an old school-retro game.

Friends - Made me smile :P It gives of a tragedy, losing a friend vibe.

Very good, +1.

you've already heard the good points, but now.. your tracks could use some mixing and mastering.

: Re: My songs
: Darqsunscreen April 28, 2013, 10:44:35 PM

Thank you thank you thank you :)   And yes in the light is me too.


Yes mastering.


I'm going to work on recording a piece I learned from Franz Liszt called Vallee d'obermann I only know 1/3 of it though but it's still pretty long like 8-10 minutes. I think it's gonna be a big improvement sound quality wise. It will also be much more complicated with tempo changes all over unlike all the other songs wich are the same speed all the time and very robotic. Cause I didn't play them but created the midi file note by note. This time I'm going to really play it. Sure I might adjust a note or 2 if I don't want to throw away a perfectly good try. But I'm of course trying to play it so that I have to adjust very little and otherwize I will play it over and over again until it's close enough.


I got decent monitor speakers and I should be able to master a piano piece just fine. Give me a  few days.






Ok I got a pretty amazing recording already. Kinda forgot about it.


For anyone who actually knows this piece sorry for raping it :P  I can't read notes! Worked really hard to learn this one.

Nice, I actually kinda like the studdering. Well, except for the one at 2:57, ouch that hurt. Also, that coda, is it supposed to be like that? I've never heard the piece before so I don't know.


::Edit:: Have to give you an +1 for this.

Not sure what you mean by studdering and coda..

Studdering is almost like lag I guess.
And Coda is the end. (The end of the snake for example, or the end of the song).

It's ok I guess. But everything I listened to was out of tune.

There was a couple that sounded decent but I don't know a lot of them are just out of tune. Everything is so minimal. I do however like Electone 15 even though there are out of tune spots with that too.

Do you mean out of tune as in the instrument is set to a wrong key or that I don't choose the right notes to go with the ones you just heard..


Cause I don't think there are any official rules like that in music.. at all. And don't you think if someone who is creating music is following rules others made.. he's not being so creative after all?


Besides.. the out of tune in alone in the dark is on purpose to create a sort of horror feel to it.. and I'm always going for the sad/creepy/beautiful thrombo wich can be kind of off key I guess. But that's the point..


And the ones that I made when I was 15 yes they are made with different instrument samples that where not especially recorded in the same key. But the new stuff I've made with VST instruments so there's no way they are off key.


Did you listened to anything I actually played though? Cause that's where most of the hard work is in. I hope you have really good speakers.

I liestened to sustain, alone in the dark and the two covers.

I agree, I felt it was made on purpose while I was listening, and I liked the feeling those "off tune" parts carried on them. But I'm biased as I like melancholic tunes and off key combinations. I guess it's all a matter of personal taste.

I like Alone In the Dark best, but even it could have been better. They all felt kinda empty and incomplete, some of them could have used some effects.. really these feel more like something I'd take some samples from than actual tracks. But, they DO have potential, and I can't say I didn't like them.

EDIT: I just listened to Kesson Daslef.. minor tuning errors, but it could be easily fixed, but there's a MAJOR problem with the rhythm and how the effects flowed together.

Funny that you put it like that cause that remake was supposed to be a representation of the disfunctional relationship between me and my mother.


Or better said it got that meaning after I made this.


I can probably get it to sound "right" but it would be a different song with different meaning.


Plus I just don't want to get working on an old track agian. Otherwise I wouldn't try so hard making up excuses..
