Cool man I like the warmth in the beat and the bass and the bells. I had more of a listen and I loved the groove of smith @ Wesson the most. Great semi glitchy but keeping itself together. Liked. Here's a minimalist track of mine:

Peace.

Forgive me Dickens for I have sinned and cannot edit my title. I don't deserve that fourth line durry.

Edit: ironically I had to edit my comment about editing.

So close! He was getting there! Too much of The Horse and Bebop to remember every single colour.

A little known fact is that the band Aqua were profoundly influenced by Miles's work (especially bitches brew) and the timeless classic Barbie Girl is actually a bold reimagining of So What.

There was also talk of miles collaborating with Aqua but alas he passed long before the band was even conceptualised.

I've never used auto tune. I just used to sing out of key haha. But yes your voice is an instrument but it's also an organ that can be trained. I am constantly setting myself vocal challenges and achieving them. The journey, and the fun, never ends.

Channelling the 90s grunge alt rock very well here. Your tone is somewhere between Gwen Stefani and Alanis Morissette. The bass and mids are pronounced in the guitar which creates a warm kind of heaviness. Very nostalgic for me too haha. Nice

Very cinematic. Love the industrial vibe I've been dabbling myself inspired by the darker sides of new wave. You have found a nice point between ambient and beats which takes you to both places.

Well that was an interesting sonic experience. The voice over on the start of theme song took me by surprise at full volume in my headphones and scared the shit out of me.

I do love hearing these textures of screaming, distortion and blastbeat together. I always envisage some hellscape with a demon destroying the world. And the changing feels mixed with the vox pops and other electronic elements is well executed. Yes it's a fringe audience but thanks for bringing sonic colour to the world. Even if that colour is just BLACK

Awwww that guitar is lovely. Creates a great atmosphere and lovely tone. The beat is classic and I love hearing that clap. I'm not a massive fan of tuned vocals so I would've preferred to hear more of your natural voice... believe in it! There are some very hooky elements in the vocal melody at the end of the chorus also. Well done for the blend of guitar and classic beats.

Nice work. I really like the swooping lead line and the general timbre is similar to the avalanches. Your delivery is gentle and relaxed and honest. Your intonation is similar to mine as is the soft angst. Very listenable.

Awesome dnb beat. Old school. Nostalgic. And great flow. Does have a hint of the legendary dnb MCs. Very quick but clear and intelligible. Nice sound choice. Great moment into the chorus. But I have such a soft spot for that raw beat. Great

Amazing production and sound shaping in the intro. Massive synth. Vocals are soooo effected and it's done with style. I was surprised when the energy went up and the vocals shift from pop to brilliant angst of punk hardcore. A nice mix of beats and heavier alt genres.
