Hello ☺

[Timeloop]

Just thought i would create a thread welcoming myself to the forums.

I found the forums after numerous Google searches trying to find sounds and samples from the Oddworld series. i set myself a challenge to create a track using only sounds from the game and my quest led me here.

after scouting through various threads and downloading all you guys had to offer i decided to sign up and also found your facebook group.

Just a little background on myself, i am a signed producer and have been looking for new and exciting ventures to go on with my musical endevours, when it hit me *thud* do a track from one of the greatest games of our times: Oddworld Abes Oddysee.

so this is why i am here, and i look forward to speaking with you all.

Welcome!

[Ridg3]

So... you're the one who sucked my dead dad's dick?

[RoryF]

Wait, what?

[OANST]

Everyone actually does want to be me. My god, my ego was right all along.

[OddjobAbe]

Hello. Also worth mentioning that the real electronic music lies with Xenakis and Varèse and the likes.

[OANST]

OH, here we go. HERE WE GO. Fucking Oddjob just has to be a cunt to the new guy again. You just can't stop yourself, can you, you fucking cunt! God, I hate you, and now I have to hate the new guy because you talked to him, you shit sucking fuck humper!

[Crashpunk]

Hi! Enjoy your stay

Also, what is that symbol in the thread title?

[OANST]

It's a vagina with teeth. Use your eyes, man.

[Timeloop]

haha i can see myself fitting in quite well with you guys.

[OANST]

Shit. Change tactics, everyone.

My goodness, it is so nice to have a new member like yourself among us. I was just saying to the others the other day, I said "Others, we need nice new members. Young, male, and virile, looking to make musics, and enrich all of our lives". So, welcomes to you, laddie.

Welcome to the forums, by the way.

[OANST]

Look in the forum help section. Your banners are probably too big, and will need to be resized.

what ratio do they need to be, usually i was using 400x200 for forums.

[OANST]

Everything you need to know is here: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=15560

[Timeloop]

An electronic music producer, eh? What kind of stuff do you listen to? I mostly listen to stuff like Boards of Canada and Burial when it comes to electronic. Also Aphex Twin and a bit of Squarepusher.

Also, welcome.

EDIT: My God, OANST is being helpful. Has hell frozen over?

[OANST]

Well, seeing as Rick Rolling is no longer funny, I didn't really see any other options.

All of the above. I have a wide spectrum of music i listen to, so cant really put myself into a box as to what my favorite genre is. i have been a Dj for near on 12 years now but only got into production 12months ago.

currently i am making mostly Bass music, so broken beats and heavy basslines but i do try everything hence why i'n trying to make a track using only Oddworld sounds (which turned out harder than expected)

i must say Burial is great intelligent music, but i do grin from ear to ear with Aphex Twin and Squarepusher and any crazy but well produced music (especially breakcore)

[OANST]

I would listen to those things, but I like having sex with girls.

[Timeloop]

the trick is to have sex and listen to music at the same time, i call it multi tasking

[Timeloop]

I would listen to those things, but I like having sex with girls.

just looked at your post count [Posts: 9,362]
are you sure you like having sex with girls?
do most of them have a name ending with .jpg or .avi?

[Mr. Bungle]

I don't really like the loud and aggressive types of electronic music. It gives me a headache a lot of the time. I'm more of a fan of ambient electronic.

But yeah, I don't only listen to electronic stuff, either. In fact it probably makes up a small amount of what I listen to regularly, with the exception of Boards of Canada. I could listen to that shit all day.

[Timeloop]

i also try not do serious things with music hence making a track using a vocal sample from a guy with spaghetti in his pocket needing to shit in Game Stop..

http://soundcloud.com/timeloop1/time...hetti-and-shit

thing is its only 3 days old and has had 1184 plays... it kinda went all viral

[OddjobAbe]

I remember messing around with that sort of stuff about 10 decades ago.

[Mr. Bungle]

Well, that was... interesting. The drum track was pretty good but the sampling was just... bizarre. But, you said it wasn't really serious, so whatever.

Could you post one of your actually serious tracks? I'd like to hear it.

[OANST]

The girls love my huge post cou...I mean penis.

[Timeloop]

I've switched from laptop to mobile but head to www.soundcloud.com/timeloop1 and check out the track titled "Timeloop - In The Shadows" that one of my tracks to be released through the label =)
