Very Nice
This has a very Grendel-ish feel to it.
Nice work.
Reviews for "Trauma (Demo)"
Siborg responds:
HAHA thanks, i think its that synth line at the beginning that gives it that feel. Glad you enjoyed :)
Hm like...
...whats going on inside a robot's head. I like the varying bassdrum, and the synths do just fit perfectly into the song. Makes me wanna move, dancing or running or driving... And as Mr. Fletcher said, very well chosen and placed speech samples.
Siborg responds:
Thanks i spent a weekend watching obscure porns and weird movies and this was one of the batches of samples it got. They fit so well into this song it was kinda scary. Glad you liked :)
Now that's some Industrial.
1st impression I got within 15 seconds of listening is that your sound quality is off the charts. The strongest element this track's got to throw at the listener is sound and your manipulation of it. I'm listening with several hundred dollars worth of headphone right now, and it's safe to say this is almost completely error free, especially compared to the other stuff around here that operates on similar frequencies. Based on your style, I'd say there's a good chance that everything I'm hearing that could be construed as a fault (i.e. crackling, clicking, etc) is likely there on purpose because it fits the tempo. So I gotta hand it to you on that one.
Since this is a demo, I'm hoping that when you throw the finished product out there that your intent is to add more sounds to it, not make it longer. I like the length of this piece because I see that there's a lot you can do in there, though as it stands now I find myself getting lost before 3:46 when you go back to the spoken vocals. Before that it's about a minute and fifteen seconds of audio that has little to distinguish itself between repetitions. This is a sad betrayal of the phenomenal intro you started with, which gave me the impression I was gonna get a six minute rocket ride through an industrial bloodbath. So currently this track runs a minute or two too long for all that's in it.
Normally, I despise spoken vocal samples in music, but you're one of the few people on here who can actually do it RIGHT - give a good quality voice its moment, then build back into the meat of your track inside of a beat or two.
When you finish this thing it's gonna be 10 star material. Killer start.
Siborg responds:
Those clicking sounds you speak of were half purpose half accident, they came from the bassline. It a patch i made in Vangaurd and the initial start of the sound had this pop sound...i could get rid of it so i decided " ok it wont go and i liek the sound...let's incorporate this into the song!" And so i did. As for the samples they are part of the story im telling in this piece so i had to compromise a few areas to get them to fit in, but yes its still in the works and im going to add more elements to it once i get this demo album finished. Once the track is 100% ill let you know thanks for the review and im going to check out some of those areas and tweek a bit :)
Decent
This is pretty decent. I really like the drums you used, and the beat. Not a huge fan of the wav.'s you used though. Also, it gets somewhat boring to me for some reason around the middle. The main 'riff' is awesome though.
Siborg responds:
Thanks man :) The waves are samples i took from this porn called Shock, i like them to me they bring the piece together, every track on my album is a part of a story im trying to tell so these were very important. Thanks for the review though and im still working the bugs out of this one though
