I'm not saying they're pinnacles of clever script writing, but I find them funny. I appreciate mindless entertainment as much as intelligent entertainment. "Funny People" wasn't all that great though. I don't even remember much about it.

I like Judd Apatow movies.

Interesting, I just came across an album of yours today for the first time when I was listening to that SynSun album that was just posted, and was super excited by what I heard. Well at least you're still making music. I can understand - this is a narrowly-defined genre, and good songwriters usually get tired of writing the same style over and over again. Jikkenteki's goodbye message had an unfortunate bitter tone.

What's the story with this method of purchasing? I looked at the main Kunaki site and it appears to be a CD replicator, is that right? You can buy direct from them? Are they reputable? I just want to know something about the people I'm giving my CC info to before I do it.

It's Temperament: How Music Became a Battleground for the Great Minds of Western Civilization by Stuart Isacoff.

I don't remember the name, but it's the history of how western music arrived at the 12-tone equal temperament tuning we use today. It kind of goes off on tangents a lot, but with the purpose of relating the changes in tuning systems to the other social changes going on during those times. It's pretty interesting.

I simply can't do any Daily Music today, I'm far too tired from work-related stuff. I'll post one tomorrow, but I still won't spend more than a day on it. Just like the ones I've posted so far.

Okay, so technically it's the 13th as I type this, but it still counts as the same day since I haven't gone to sleep yet. Date: October 12, 2009 Genre: Trance (Classic Trance?) BPM: 130 Length: 5:12 Equipment: Drums - μTonic Bass - Pro-53 Pad - Reason/Thor Beep - Reason/Subtractor 303 - ABL2 I know this is boring, but I had a super busy day. I wanted to so some thing "classic trance", but honestly I wasn't into trance during the "classic" era, and I think I've really only heard a little of it http://www.veracohr.com/audio/1012.mp3

I just remembered today that the next few days is going to be really tough to get this done. This week is my office's quarterly national sales meeting, which means I'm busy with work people even after work, plus tomorrow I've got my bowling league. Date: October 11, 2009 Genre: Ambient BPM: 80 Length: 6:40 Equipment: Pad - PEK Bass - BassStation Tinkly sound - Native Instruments FM8 Drums - Reason Recording/Mixing/Mastering - DP I didn't program the FM sound myself, I'm not that good at FM. I just went through and found a preset and tweaked it a little. I had a hell of a time trying to find a high pass filter plugin that is controllable via MIDI CC. There's a multimode filter plugin in DP that isn't too bad, but the cutoff is only controllable via MIDI notes, not CC. I tried downloading some free ones, but what I found wasn't controllable at all, so I ended up just using an LFO instead of manual control for the cutoff. I kind of like this actually, it might not be too bad if I wanted to develop it further. http://www.veracohr.com/audio/1011.mp3 It's got some interesting bits, it could be something.

I didn't have much today: Date: October 10, 2009 Genre: Mood music? BPM: 110 Length: 3:45 Equipment: Drums - μTonic Pad - PEK Lead - Native Instruments Massive Sequencing/Mixing - Live Mastering - DP Story: By the time I finished yesterday's I was pretty drunk. I tried to start on the new one, but all I got was the drum sounds programmed and the loop written. I started the day with a nice hangover and have been sitting around watching episodes of Family Ties. I didn't have much creativity so I just found a sound already on my PEK, which I'm not even sure I programmed myself, I think it might have been the one factory preset I've kept. So I just fucked around for about an hour and half and here you have it: http://www.veracohr.com/audio/1010.mp3

Greetings Piepeople! I decided to do an experiment/project for at least the next week, during which I will produce and publish a new piece of music every day. Why, you ask? Well, partly because I have nothing better to do, and partly because I normally take such an absurdly long amount of time to complete songs that I wanted to force myself to do otherwise. So here's the deal: starting today, I will post a file every day until next Thursday (7 days). If I think I can handle it, I'll keep going after that, but I only guarantee it for the next 7 days. Don't expect these files to be good, or complete, or long, or consistent in any manner. I will spend no more than 1 day on each piece. Feel free to join me if you want, and feel free to critique the music as you want. If you want to join me, try sticking with informational format below: Date: October 9, 2009 Genre: Acid BPM: 180 Length: 5:05 Equipment/Software Used: Drums - Sonic Charge μTonic Bass - Novation BassStation Rack Intro Pad - Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard 303 sound - Audiorealism ABL2 Melody - Native Instruments Pro-53 Outro Pad - E-Mu Orbit V2 Sequencing - Ableton Live 7 Mixing/Mastering - MOTU Digital Performer 5 Story/Info: I started this yesterday, as you can tell by the file name (1008 = October 8. Here in the US we put the month first when writing a date.) Yesterday I was in a bad mood, and on the way home from work I listened to Nine Inch Nails' "Broken" and part of Slayer's "Reign in Blood", so I wanted to make something fast, hard and dirty. I finished pretty much all of it last night in about 5 hours of work, although I was interrupted in the middle when I had to go help a friend with something, so I was up really late and got about 4 hours of sleep before work this morning. The only thing I did today was some minor tweaking on loop arrangement and changed the sound of the ending chord, plus the mixing and mastering. And before anyone mentions it, let me mention that I know it ends horribly. Keep in mind that I produced this in (at best) 1/90 of the time it normally takes me to complete a song. I had to post it today, and I just couldn't spend any more time coming up with a better ending. http://www.veracohr.com/audio/1008.mp3 - 192kbps

If you want to do some editing, replace every "you're" with "your". I'm not criticizing, I'm sure English isn't your native language, but it bugs the hell out of me to see grammatical errors like that.

+1 That's a good one. I also like The Crow. It's of the compilation of popular music type, not the score type.

Well I could try to sell my ass on the street, but I don't think I'm pretty enough.

Awesome, great work!

Radical Distortion!

Thanks. Now if only I had money to buy music.

I did remember Saiko. Those are the only two I know.

This is how long it's been since I've been able to afford new music: I couldn't remember the name of Psyshop. I had to find the link on Suntrip Records' site.

I haven't used any of these other than Malstrom, but a quick search brought up this: http://www.granularsynthesis.com/software.php

Interesting replies. Psychedelia and spirituality were part of my life long before I discovered psytrance. I haven't been fortunate enough to attend many specifically psy events, nor do I know anyone else personally who is into psy. So I suppose I wouldn't be any different, except I might play my guitar more rather than make electronic music as I mostly do now. And I'd probably be more bored, because Pienews folks are funny.

I didn't listen to it since I'm at work, but: This isn't even a frequency response test. I'd think "speech-in-noise" is more an aspect of perception than physical hearing, but I don't really know.

Depends on how much you want to spend. Altiverb is a professional standard.
