If you blow into the dent in the middle a perfect D-flat comes out of his ears.

I play the PC. In other words, I press buttons and noise comes out.

THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A KEYBOARD JOKE AND YOU BLEW IT

Nepsotic 04-05-2013 09:12 AM

I DON'T LIKE PUNS!

Phylum 04-06-2013 02:09 AM

On top of everything else I like to pretend I can play Irish music in my spare time.

Please note that I recorded these just for you in one take each and I haven't played much whistle lately.





e: Oh god my bookshelf.

STM 04-06-2013 03:02 AM

I had the inconsolable urge to get up and do a jig.

Steamer_KING 04-06-2013 09:32 AM

YOU GUYS ARE NOTHING, COMPARED TO ME! BEHOLD, MY ART!!!



And after all of this, I'm still better than Nepsotic. Ho well, it was a good day...

Mr. Bungle 04-06-2013 11:42 AM

I play guitar.



I also play bass and drums but I don't have any video proof for that.

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:04 PM

Could you play something faster, and distortion...er?

Mr. Bungle 04-06-2013 12:13 PM

I could. That's just the only recording I have at the moment.

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:15 PM

I love fast playing. It's always nice to see how fast can somebody play

Git'Im 04-06-2013 12:19 PM

Can you play any nirvana songs?

Mr. Bungle 04-06-2013 12:28 PM

A ton of Nirvana songs. Huge Nirvana fan.

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a music war. Or something.


(The title is ironic, for all you Americans)

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:55 PM

You both lost. That'd be a lesson for you. No one really wins at war

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 12:58 PM

You can't decide that unless you carefully listened to our tracks and thoroughly dissected and analysed them.

Varrok 04-06-2013 12:59 PM

I listened to both of them. (You didn't really see that coming, did you?)

Git'Im 04-06-2013 01:00 PM

Coming from an audiophile, they both shit

Nepsotic 04-06-2013 01:03 PM

What's the most audiosexual thing you've done?

So... you're gonna remove everything and start from scratch?

Slog Bait 04-06-2013 01:08 PM

I think Ponyfucker won that round because I was able to listen to it without wanting to scream at the repetition until half way through.

You're getting better slowly but surely, Nep.

I've composed myself fapping to a steady rhythm. It's coming out soon

Are you actually being serious? Is it the mixing? I know I haven't mixed or mastered properly yet.

Thank you, brother.

The main tune, while isn't (I HOPE) just some random notes glued together (I smell progress), is completely, totally forgettable. You can't make anything good out of a forgettable tune. The second problem is that... it's just one riff. Repeated over and over again, with minor changes. One, bland riff. Also, that whole 'drop bass' is random and doesn't really add anything good to the song.

Dubstep is repetetive. And the whole song itself is building up to the drop, which I hope will be eargasmic once it's mastered. There are loads of songs like it, LOADS, the only difference is I like to add some melody into mine.

See? I like to have the basses of classic dubstep, but as heavy as new dubstep, with some melodic melody. Aren't I special?

if I'm being honest I genuinly thought I had a nice melody going on there, even my brother liked it. But I guess not

I never said dubstep is good music genre.

Medicore at best, and you can't have more honest opinion than mine (I'd say that it's good if it was good, I'm not filled with hate or anything)

There is no "good" or "bad" in music genres. There's only good or bad in music.

Well, in that case, I guess every song from those LOADS of repetetive dubstep songs sucks balls.

Mr. Bungle 04-06-2013 01:58 PM

Bad genres are genres with more bad than good, in my opinon. In that case, I consider dubstep to be a bad genre.

Of course this is all objective, but there's my stance.

Phylum 04-06-2013 02:10 PM

Having straight 4s in the bass go against that motif doesn't really work, especially when the attack on that sound is so delayed. I think I know why it doesn't work, but I'm not certain enough to really give it as public feedback.

Varrok's kindof right about the melody, but hie missed the mark because it's not really melodic. This is crying out to be the harmonic basis for an electronic piece. Take this idea away from dubstep and see where it goes. Trust me.

Also, why do you post so many half finished pieces?

This.

This is not a "Let's discuss Nepsotic's 'music'" thread.

Nepsotic: if you want to show off your 'work', post it in NOAL.

Varrok 04-07-2013 12:41 AM

I actually endorse the idea of making a thread there where people post their music and others judge. It's too spammy for blog posts

Slog Bait 04-07-2013 01:52 AM

That would still be something to put under NOA&L. Now whether or not people who don't frequent the fan corner will be in on it is an entirely different issue.

Also I know another instrument I play: the pencil. I pencil good.

I think the better question is whether people who don't frequent the fan corner want to be in on it.

The answer, in case you're wondering, is 'no'.

Slog Bait 04-07-2013 01:57 AM

I thought by saying 'will' I managed to group in 'want' as one of reasons people wouldn't be in on it.

Regardless, unless a handful of people stay devoted to the thread it will die rather quickly.

Alright then...
First of all, you don't even know what you're actually listening.

It's not Excision - Bass Canon but Excision & Downlink - Existence VIP, which means you don't really know what you're really "studying", which invalidates your argument of learning others "techniques". And this comes from someone who doesn't really know the "MODERN DUBSTEP SCENE".

Second, your argument of how the music should be is absurd.

This is clearly a statement of someone who has passion, but don't know where it should be directed, because you have no clue whatsoever of what is happening in the song. I'm not going to say that it's just a phase, because you really seem invested in making this type of music. But that's what it really seems. Music shouldn't be repetitive. It should have some kind of form, even if it doesn't follow the rules of the genre, it still needs form and execution. Being repetitive because "that's what's everybody's doing" is never an argument. Ever.

Third and final, because this post is practically off-topic, I did that music in an app, just fooling around and not getting my heart on it, because I wasn't supposed to. And people seem to say that both are shit. And I agree, but the thing is, is that you put your heart on making it. I did not.

I win.

REALLY?! I do know this, but "Bass Cannon" was the video title. Did I upload that video? (No, I did not). I have the song on a CD for fucks sake.

That isn't my argument. Fuck, I'm not doing that. The genre is repetetive. I'm just making music in that genre. Technically it isn't even dubstep but fuck, it has structure.

Okay. i guess i'm just not cut out to be a musician then
