I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would eventually make another previewset since I had so many WIPs - well, here it is! Note that all of these previews are still rough around the edges, as they're WIPs after all. Criticism is still appreciated though, as with many of these I'm looking for a direction to go from this point. Bolded tracks are current WIPs - not listed are one solo project and two collabs.
Download from my Mediafire, under the "Demos" folder. Below are descriptions for each preview:
1. French House (0:00-1:42)
After hearing some French House by other people I was inspired to make my own - this was the result! I started with an incredibly terrible recording of a jazz concert I was a part of and from there cut it up to make the various sounds in this track, exceptions being the drums (VEH1/2) and the bass (guess!). The recording was actually extremely colored, and has zero response above about 10 kHz. Can you tell?
Sadly, I won't be finishing this one, for lack of quality and material to sample from the recording, making it poor in mix and repetitive respectively. A shame too, it was lots of fun to make!
2. Experiment 1 (1:43-3:14)
This preview's related to the last one, who can tell how? ;D I'm probably not going to finish this one but I included it anyway, it was an interesting experiment with layering and an imitation of Jaytech's style in a few senses.
3. Hardcore collab with Nav (3:14-4:08)
Also lots of fun to make, this started as a collab between Nav and I on Mikogo and grew into something very nice, if a bit raw. Hopefully you'll be seeing more of this in the future.
4. Breathless (4:09-7:20)
Anyone remember when I was talking about a WIP named Breathless? I ended up scrapping that one and recycling many of its sounds for my track One Minute Longer, but never deleted the project file. I came back to it and liked the character, so I deleted the recycled sounds and started over. Eventually I transformed the project entirely to something minimal, yet anthemic - I like it. :) It's the project I've been working on most lately. Feedback?
5. Time Without (7:20-9:57)
I've started the arrangement of this track, and this is what I've got so far. I can't say for sure if I'll complete it yet as I'm unsatisfied with the mix, but if I can fix that I'll definitely get it done, as I like it in every other sense.
