I think part of the reason this song sounds like there is no direction is that it sounds like one huge drawn out ending, due to the fact that it is pretty much all perfect cadences. Granted the original is pretty much the same, only it has a lot more variation in the supporting parts, whereas in this mix it is pretty much just strings changing inversions.

This is pretty cool. Reminds me of Prefuse 73's remixes of The Books actually. It is a little repetitive but in a sort of Electric Counterpoint kind of way. Not so sure I like the ending though.

Borrowing musical ideas (i.e. melodies, chord progressions, etc.) has occurred in some form or another in every style or genre of music that has ever existed. Sampling isn't really any different.
-
There's definitely similarities, but sounds like it's all been chopped up on an MPC. Like Tricklozen said, it has that descending note pattern.
-
I wasn't arguing what you posted, Harmony. I was just kind of making a statement. I agree with everything you said against me
-
There's a difference between repeated use of a single musical phrase and following a form.
-
Well the sounds are noticeably cheesy FL sounds, but I like the way you used them. Reminds me of PINE*am. One thing I would suggest is taking out the trills in the melody, they don't really work in this context, especially with a faster tempo. It's not a bad start.

I disagree. Learning the basics of theory (chords, intervals, and scales) really helps in understanding how to translate what you hear in your head 'onto paper.' When you can understand and identify that the chord progression in a song is Cmaj Amin Fmaj Gmaj, it makes it that much easier to write a bassline, comping parts, or good counter-melodies that 'fit.'
Yeah, I was just responding based on what he said about learning the "workings of genres" in which learning theory wouldn't be as helpful as just listening to music and trying to emulate it. Maybe I'm just taking basic theory for granted.

As for music theory, I'm basically looking for some way to write consistent music. I'm not that well versed with the workings of most genres. When I listen to a song, I can think of things I would add/change, but I'm bad at writing original stuff that works with source. If there are any specific methods you guys use, I would be interested to hear it.
Studying music theory - especially at the rudimentary levels - won't really help you with this at all. Especially early on it would really only give you a very basic, technical knowledge (e.g. writing scales, identifying chords/intervals, etc.) You would probably benefit the most from listening to bands/artists who create the kind of music you want to, then taking the ideas you like and trying to replicate them.

OiNK was great for obscure and out of print stuff. It was like digital crate digging. Gonna miss it.

11 - Cool atmosphere at the start. The building up at around the 2-3 minute mark with the catchy drums gets me pumped every time, especially when the piano starts to enter - and gets even better when it makes it way to a new octave at around the 6 minute mark. I've always been a fan of songs that build up and last like this. It's like ascending into some mystical light.
hey cool somebody liked my song
I'm glad you enjoyed it

Yeah I guess I should have said of their recent albums. I don't listen to The Bends anymore though so to me that album is inaccessible I guess.
-
it's a good album, probably Radiohead's most accessible yet.
-
oh I totally forgot about this
I guess there is still time though.
-
oh man i'm getting a 'song for my father' vibe from this one
I'll see if I can get something together.

("What I've Done" is probably my fav LP song, and anybody who doesn't like it needs to get a life).
nobody listens to linkin park who is not 13

A decent project. I only ended up keeping 7 songs though (Materia Junkie, Chasing the Storm, JENOVA Celestial, Daydreaming Again, Midnight at Club Corel, Fading Entity, and Hydrophone Breakdown). As a singular album it's just too disjointed to listen to from beginning to end, but I guess that's inevitable in a project with such a broad scope.
'Midnight at Club Corel' is probably my favourite song out of all of them, though the straight-over-swing rhythms and constant shifting between the two at around 3:20 were kind of off-putting to me. I noticed a similar thing in 'Brinstar Bonsai Garden', I don't really understand why he does that.

Usually ASIO4all lets me record internal audio with Edison, but for some reason it started recording the mic input and I don't remember changing any settings or anything. Anybody know how to change this?
-
I was half expecting to hear Steve Wilson come in somewhere in the song. Probably one of the best rock songs on this site.
-
I found it on his website.
-
It definitely wasn't tagged as Radiowar, but I can change that ASAP at your request.
I think it would be best, I'd probably use Radiowar for future submissions anyways.

That was just the sort of default name i used to use when i hadn't decided on a real name
and the h thing is just because i didn't want numbers so i held the h keyIt's tagged as Radiowar though, isn't it?

Too bad about it being rejected, I really like this. I'm not really a fan of the crowd noises though, I think it clashes with the mood established by everything else.
