XenocreatoR - Cranium Storm Rev2 (195kbps FULL)

*EDIT* updated to REVISION 2. please review...

Hi all,

Ive been working on this tune for 4 months on & off again. It is sort of the side tune that I always go back to when having a break from my major projects. This song has become a bit of a blur to me. I need some criticism on it to tweek her up & finish her off. Have a listen & tell me what you think:

Stream & MP3 here: http://www.audiostreet.net/artist.aspx?artistid=19927


Notes:
-It's experimental techtrance. Have fun with it.
-Not yet mastered. Levels may be low so TURN HER UP. crank up the noise!!



Xeno.

The direct link isn't working.
Wierd intro effects, after listening for another two minutes it fits with the rest of the track. Wierd! But cool! I like the phaser effect on the melody thing. Lots of cool sounds after 3:50
I like this stuff. Not like what you see here @ TA every day, great work!

Glad to weird you out. My style throws some people off to begin with, but I hope they keep with it to see how the song pans out to the grunting crecsendo ending. Thanks for giving it a listen Arctic Breeze.

With the emphasis on experimental Haha this is some weird shit, for some reason it is a kind of fun track. I don't really like the melodies, I don't like the beat, there is no real feel to this track, but it is quite original I'll grant you that

Cheers,

I think it's interresting to listen to this stuff, to see how other people uses different sounds and wraps them all together in a tune. You don't see a lot of that in the mainstream.

LOL my shit is usually weird. This one definitely is not an emotional progessive trance track that youd expect to hear on the radio It is more of a darker underground trance style. It will be interesting to see if it hits a chord with anyone as their 'cup of tea'.

Maybe the beat could be changed. Im open to any ideas.

Thanks for giving it a go anyways Nomen Nescio

Yeh, I can hear the tech in it. Very nice.

The melodic elements are barely audible behind the percs in the intro. Fix those levels.

Around 3:55 is awesome.

I kind of felt weirded out by the much... happier feel in this track. Is that what you were going for?

Personally I can't ever see myself making mainstream music. But I am hoping that there will be a few open minded people that enjoy my twisted creations.

It is quite interesting to see what choices people make with the sounds they use. I quite enjoy being caught off guard & spun out by a trippy sound that I havent heard used in a particular way before. I try to do it myself & am forever exploring new sounds by fiddling with filters/effects.

Yes the intro level for the first 2 minutes needs to be fixed. I suppose it takes a while for this turn to whined up. The initial bass on the MP3 sounds muffled & compressed.

The main rhythm of the tune has 8 bars uplifting trance & then 8 more bars of confused notes jumbled togetherer that are meant to scramble the minds eye. It must creat a strain on the brain whilst interpreting the information. The resultant I think is a happy yet tense feeling. My aim was to have it become more energetic over time.

Thanks for the feedback thoughtlessjex.

Hey man, I really dig this. You've used a lot of very original sounds. You must have spent ages on this, theres so many little noises and fx.

It doesnt feel very danceable, but then I guess your aiming for more of an ecclecting experiemntal tip. I could certinaly imagine chilling out to this with a few reefers.

I think the melody could do with some more variation perhaps and the percussion could benefit from some more drive or variation, but like you say, your trying out new things so maybe its how you envisioned it.

I dub thee psycheese

Im glad you like it!

I have a fetish to tweek racks, scolling through sounds & adding effects to morph sounds. It is a fetish that can sometimes be a huge time waster Too much fun without getting anyting done!!

You are right. I do not think this track is suited for a night club. It is more of a cruising track whilst driving or a mental ride for when youre chillen out. I beleive trance needs to evolve & I will not limit myself to 'dance' tracks. This one is going down a techtrance road without boundarys, regulations or limitations.

I will have a think about putting more variations into the melody. Maybe parts will be helped by adding intelligent midrange poly-synth layers.... I will also take onboard the percussion suggestion. How the song is driven is very important. Thankyou for bringing this to my attention.

I appreciate this reply Axolotyl. thnx

Hah, love it!

It's so trippy and happy at the same time... if you work a bit more in the percussion (giving it a banging tribal feel), this would give the tune more energy and it should become, well, perfect
