"Her Temple To My Shoulder And Front Row Seats To The End Of The World" :.

"Excuse us".
We said as we made our way to the front of the crowd.
The voices of terror filled in the local ambiance.
We blocked all that out.
The flames from the town licked at our faces
Buildings were giving way against the heat haze.
Birds dropped from the skies.
The oceans dried up.
"We're going in it seems"
The sun's mighty gaze was upon us here.
"Yeah..Guess so. I love you, y'know."
"Yeah..i know. I love you too. I'll see you after this is all over.
"Race y'there?" She said, squinting with a smile on.
"You're on." I replied with a grin.

( hope you like. I love the ending of this. )

That was amazing, I'm a fan of the LP style beat stutter and the out of tune sound midway...any pointers on how to do the stutter effect? Thanks alot, keep making great music.

Thanks man. Glad you like. LP?
I'm all about the glitchy, IDM. Most of my tracks contain those elements : D
Pointers? Repeat that beat quick. Slice it up. Cut that sample down : P
Experiment! Heh heh.

Thanks for your ears.

Cheers.

This makes great theme music. You know, like the track kicks on when a certain character enters the scene?
Its fitting for someone in a story like...the calm-cool-collected antagonist. Or maybe the mysterious protagonist. Theres so much potential. This track is choc-full o' win. :D

Author's Response:

Yeah, i feel you on that. I could see this being used for such a character. I'd love someone to animate a scene to this actually. I'd want it used for the mysterious protagonist! : D

Thanks for listening.

Hey man. I'm really glad you like this. I was trying to get something that had an emotional pull to it. I plan on redoing this song. Future plans! Making a second part or something.

"Great work...again, haha."

This is what it feels like to me, what I personally pictured when I close my eyes:

A couple years ago, it was predicted that the world was going to end, and there was nothing the human race could do about it. For a while there was a great panic among the human race, many terrible things happened. People had absolutely no idea how to react to the end of the world. Every single bit of life on earth would end, and there was no way to prevent it.
Finally, the eve of destruction has arrived. Now everyone found themselves calm now. They were ready. People all across the world began to leave their homes, walking along the grass, finding a good place to settle down for the last time, trying to find Seats to the End of the World. I sat on a blanket with my girlfriend at the top of the grassy hill about a hundred feet from my house. We both sat there, smiling as we stared up at the calamity that would be plunging into the atmosphere within the hour. It was the beginning of the end for all.
"What a view", I said, smiling at her.
"Yeah", she said, "It really is".

I'm glad it paints a picture for you; that it can take you somewhere else for its duration. I would imagine people would just join in to accept the end of the world together rather than a horrible panic.

"Beautiful"

Love it. It's really energetic and really calming at the same time. I agree with what's already been said, the synth part that comes in around 2:30 is nice, I like the backwards sounding feel it has.
If you don't mind me asking, how do you sequence your drums?

May 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Oh awesome, im glad you like it. Thats sort of what i was going for. A sort of odd energetic calm. A nervous acceptance. I was never quite sure about the synths when they came in, but its awesome that people are agreeing with them, i wasnt sure if people would! : D
How do i sequence them? I use FL, i work mainly with wavs rather than working with patterns and such in the piano roll. I generally arrange everything piece by piece.
