hobnox and splice are online music makers

hey hey,

skipped a few bits of this but oh well, here's my two penneth worth for your deliberation. As a sweeping generalisation there is nothing much more that can be done with music, whatever anyone of you's has done within a musical construct has undoubtedly come before and I'd hazard a guess, been done better. I know within my own musical talent that eveything ive done is absorbed by those around me, those ive heard and been inspired by.

IT IS NO BAD THING

it isnt, really, it isn't. The key, the masterstroke, the thing that sets the best out from the rest is how they use what has been and gone and slightly changing it, making it more personal to themselves maybe, making it more abstract than the norm, .maybe... It's the variations now that matter more than striding forth with a new line. Even to me, it's the atmosphere, the image you create that is paramount, some of my best songs are three maybe four chord wonders, but its what is layered around it that makes it your own little piece of heaven.

Intermittent Interjection

hello peeps here seems to be my quaterly post, how are things and how are those who know me? i hope each and every one of you is well and enjoying making music, i really do. It's fascinating to hear the development of some of you, even way back when i considered you's to be professional, keep it up, it's a fantastic inspirational tool to everyone around you, especially to me, a long lost brother struggling to find the way back lol.

anyhow, give me the lowdown, whats gone on recently?

innit

when does the forgey start again lol?

Well then I guess it's a good thing that I'm not doing it "right"

BTW - could you send me a copy of those guidelines? I seem to have misplaced my copy of "IDM: the right way"

haha

haha, I have a copy if you want it, it's subheading is ''who gives a flying monkey's?' Maybe cos ive been away for soooooo long i'm wrong, but wasnt there a subsection for IDM? anyhow, Misc is about your best bet, yes you are gonna compete in a very hard genre, you can hit a 4.40 rating without noone noticing for 8 months lol. Generally thats where it falls, otherwsie it's ambient, it's its closest genre. it dont matter anyways, ive posted shit left right and centre, all depends on where you feel the track should be.

Moons agao, i got to about episode 4 or 5 of this venture, 11 songs done via submission and a choice selection from myself, does this or a form of it still exist? Just thinking, i still have the means and place to create and upload, plus i think i can remember how to do the rss updates. Thoughts please? BTW am i making no promises that this will be started up, just wondering if it isnt going on still, i may be able to fill a vid for a wee while.

Holy-how-the-hell-'ave-you-been pitbull?

I couldn't tell you the last time we conversed. I just recently made a comeback as well.
- First I was here
- then I was away for a while being busy
- then I got sick and ass-ploded
- now I'm here again.

Nice to see you though!

To all the other new peeps rollin' around these parts, go give pbj some love. Hit up his audio page and make him feel wanted. :D

You are too kind my friend, too kind. I have to start from the ground up again to earn that respect, been too long for most of these to know who I am or what I've done, it's great to see a name who I love and respect welcome me back with open arms, i feel humbled.

Been a good year without forum talk, reviews besides that is. I'm grand mate, like mentioned in my previous post, ive got a new home, nearly a proper teacher, a paid musician and so on. Barring my very rare drunken rants i think this is the first time I have been polite and coherent to all who have been here lol. Magic Pen 2 is out soon, selling a few tunes on itunes that's why they aint a Chapter three on here sadly, though there is a guitar solo which will be up as a treat tomoz. Basically I'm in a far better place than i was 12 months ago, i think the rants were getting to piss taking proportions. But hey I'm back, an hour or two a night, but im back. Im gonna be exclusively guitar for a while as well, still no midi keyboard but the lead work is taking leaps and bounds so keep your pickles open.

How has life treated you this last year then?

I tend to write mostly, nowadays anyways, when i have commissions for songs which i feel rather bad about, every now and then though the old 'need' to make music comes flooding back and i get the old guitar out and make something for myself. It's always been and always will be a hobby, just it's now mutated into a second job which doesnt pay as handsomely as it sounds haha. I've always had to be captured by an 'emotion' to write though, even when on a commission, if it aint there it aint there and im not really one to force it. Working life and resonsibilities have made it harder and harder to sit and make and how i miss my 12 hour studio session just to make 30 seconds of trumpton.

None of us know exactly 'why' we do what we do, we do it because we want to do it, some technically than others, it's the love, the joy of sharing a little bit of yourself in a form that is so amabiguous yet soul bearing is another aspect i personally enjoy, most of my music is deriative of myself and i shine through in my music, you kno who i am, even though you'll never meet me. I know who you are by what you make and sound. bit deep i know but hey, it makes sense to me.

Nav!!

haha thats good to know, really is, as long as aint much changed i'll be okay, just dont want some young buck to pick a flame war with me like i did many moons ago when i started here.

I'm alright mate, been away for too long had a lot to get on with, on a depressing note I've seen a few people pass away which is never good. However used these things as a positive, I've moved back to my home town, live in massive house, I'm finally a paid musician as and when those jobs come. Basically just getting a little bit older and mature as each day ticks on. Coming out of my creative shell of late and decied to share some of the lesser works on here. Still an alchoholic but alas some things never change eh? I'm also very nearly a fully fledged teacher of drama and media how sweet is that!!!!! anyhow im gonna try to make a concerted effort to spend an hour or two back here as often as possible, been too long bro, i miss drunken rants by darkside and chron's loving haha.

haha, i have a quite old vst called saxlab, comes in handy but needs some major tweaking to get a closely authentic sound, stuff like this always amazes me though just shows how far we've come fom the trusty old 4 track.

so, hi kids! How is everyone? Lots of new names here, i've spotted two that I know curriemaster and nav, how long have you been back on here currie? The new tune is done btw, can't post it on here though unfortunately as its going on sale on itunes so check my myspace out when you have a chance to hear it. Can someone fill me in on the whats and what nots here please, been about 12 months since i last hit it up?

you know, best part of a year of not posting, i bob on and some things never change! It warms my heart to see that everyone still has the same problems i face everytime i dare post a song haha. All is good in the world it seems.

Chapter 4

only just got me internet back isnt it gentleman

Chapter Two W.I.P the second part of the puppy dog tales, nowhere near complete so I would like your thoughts for direction. Cheers.

How can I do this, I have looked on the internet but haven't found anything. Looked on list of software, and still couldn't find anything.

probably the easiest way is to use sample rate conversion, however this may speed up the sound and sound unnatural. A sure fire way of converting it exactly would be to play it from an analouge source into a digital domain, with the digital clock at 44.1khz, eg a cd player into pc or ipod etc. Make sure any connects and leads are as short and of as high quality as possible to reduce error rate. A digital to digital transfer with realtime conversion will achieve the same result but with better sound quality as it will be a clone rather than a copy. hope this helps

Hello to all and sundry who may or may not remember me. I hope you are all well and happy. This is not a post to say 'I'm back' it's more a post to explain my absence and for what has been for the most recent posts my words and actions. I hope you understand and don't slate me for expressing myself.

I've been away for admittedly a long time, partly enforced and partly not. I've been trying to gain some focus, some direction in my life for what seems like an eternity now and for some reason or another i am as yet unable to achieve my goals. These may or may not come to light as this post develops. I've been for the last few months going through a phase of massive ups and downs. The downs are the part im trying to explain.

Over the last few months i've seen close family members pass away and even closer none family pass in the last week, my head is in pieces to say the least. Unable to really express my feelings to those nearest and dearest to me i have become somewhat withdrawn from many avenues that i normally express myself in, one being my music.

Any time i have come on here in the past months it's been to rant or come up with some wondrous idea that never comes to fruitition ie the newgrounds musical or alternatively the OMG i'm shit thread, so for that reason without having anything positive to contribute i have taken time away from this forum, an attempt to realign myself with the things that matter to me, it has generally been successful.

The thing that is fucking me up though is this death thing, it's incessant and I'm hurting with so much grief yet i can't find a way to express myself in any form that fulfills me. I can see this post meandering in many directions wandering aimlessly as I am myself and again I'm struggling to find the answers as to why. I'm usually such a strong person, people rely on me to give them strength when they need it most yet i am unable to ask for that to be reciprocated. I have hurt some of those nearest to me, physically and emotionally and no amout of papering over the cracks nullfies this feeling of downright emptiness that engulfs me.

I genuinely just want to fuck off to a place where noone has ever heard of me or seen me and start anew, begin afresh and leave all my worries and fears behind me. I have tried to put myself into psychiatric care twice in recent months as i feel i am ill equipped to deal with life and all it throws at me yet I am dismissed and laughed away s some sort of deviant or piss take when i genuinely am not and need help or an outlet for the things i think and feel.

You can hear this in my music, the bredth of emotions in a constantly evolving mindset, people take it as artistry where i mean it as a genuine outlet, yet noone cares or noone listens. Do you know when the last time someone asked me and genuinely meant it 'how are you?' with humility and compassion? I have forgot it was that long ago, or maybe i have just become cynical of the notion that anyone cares....i don't know.

I am still stuck in a shitty town, miles away from my friends and family, i am trying to resolve and the resolution is miles way its unbearably to think about. A single white male with no support, where a system fucks me over and im just supposed to roll over and accept it, fuck this fucking constitution, it has me by the balls and is now trying to rip my soul from me.

This is why i have been away for so long as my head is so firmly lodged up my arse that i can make light for dark. Anyways im gonna leave that as that as i'll just make matters worse for myself. I just hope you all understand why exactly i have been away and why for the mean while i probably will be for some time. I pray for you all you don't have to deal with the shit I have to at this moment in time.

Peace and Hugs

pitters

nice to not see me included!!!!!!!!!

long time no see all

....still apply?

anyone who knows what im on about then yay. those who are too young to knw join in. Asking cos i notice a difference between epics and short tunes?????????????

leave it as it is. 0 votes happen and 0 bombing is even worse, it is part and parcel of being part of newgrounds. there's no point changing the system more than it is, it's actually really good now compared t the old system, you feel aggrieved at some extreme scoring fuck it you can five yourself, but isn't that just as bad as 0 voting?????

Basically don'tne worry about 0 votes, worry about reviews, they are the true indicator.

here or the sticky or audacity
