Elektronox Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Greetings! Elektronox is a new trance project from Sweden. You can download the three song web-ep Elektronik Grimoire from http://www.elektronox.cjb.net And feel free to review the tracks here. "This is the Ultimate Prophecy!" Quote
Elektronox Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 Aha, not much interest here. I was following the old saying of letting the music do the talking. But let me introduce myself. I am producer/mucician from Stockholm, Sweden and I have been playing/producing music on and off since 1990. I am 29 years old and Elektronox is a psy-trance project. I got into trance in 1993 when hearing Trilithon. Then Concept in Dance and Order Odonata 1 blew my brain more or less. But since I was a professional musician between 94-99 I did not have time to further my interests in electronic music. In 1999 I began building my Der Bunker studio here in Stockholm and I wanted to keep things basic. Cheers and Bom Bom Mahadev!/Elektronox Computer.

Elektronox Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 why does the mac make one doubleclick everywhere? Quote
Cybernetika Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 "Derkeinox" - Interesting starting noises, maybe a bit noisy and distorted, but that's no prob for me. some good panning used on em... The kick has hell of a lot of oomph, but it fits the track... 1:30 - great dark melodies going, needs maybe a bit more bass as support, but some kickass layering there. 3:20 - w00t, great layering of the melodies, they work so well together. 5:35 - i realy dig that ultra reverb lead, its still bumping through my brain ... superb track!! "Dark Haze" - Indeed very dark. Sounds hard and dark- interesting and quite unique, I really, really dig this. At 3:30 the starting LFO action is nice and rough, but I personally think you're doing a bit too long. All in all a nice Hard Dark Trance tune, I'm hearing tracks of this style way too rare "Mantra Three" - I'm not sure about this one. I don't like the lead, it sounds so.. don't get me wrong... cheap. The other lead doesn't seem to be going anywhere, maybe have a look at the melody progression, it's a bit awful in my ears.. But then you got some nice acidlines going. And the sample fits perfectly. Production-wise, I can't find anything to complain about All in all, I love your dark style, especially in Derkeinox (your best of the three), it's in a way very unique! Production quality is just good. Keep this great music coming Quote
Elektronox Posted February 5, 2005 Author Posted February 5, 2005 Thanks alot for the comments! I am very glad to hear that you liked it and I appreciate your obviously initiated remarks. Derkeinox- I suppose that I do like it hard and dark (at least at the present stage of production) and I like power and oomphin kicks Distorsion is something that I also greatly enjoy. Regarding the lack of bass I felt that the kick and the ultra low bass sound did the job, but I seem to have blasted my HD-25's so hehe, something might have happened in the mastering. I did also use the Monitors but I mainly did this one with the headphones... Dark Haze- This track belongs to a group of tracks that I did some year ago or two. Regarding the length of periods in tracks I did the exact opposite in Derkeinox and used lots of breaks. Some people seem to dont like breaks and some seem to like'em. I generally do what feels good from track to track. Arrangements is really something that is important, I guess that I'll keep trying... Mantra 3 - Well, I do definitely see your point, since you are expressing yourself in such a nice but also informative manner This is an older track that is part an even older group of tracks that I did more in the Old School vein. I included it since I wanted to reveal some breadth to my songs. Some people have liked this one and some not. I must say that your comment was both very uplifting and enlightening! It makes me immensly glad that you see some originality in the songs. I will definitely give your songs a listen and attempt to present some feedback Quote
