And tell me if it's good or not? It's different from other stuff i've tried. I really like it but i have no idea what to do with it. I don't make music to get a record deal or anything like that, i do it because i love making music and stuff.

anyway, yousendit:

Song: At War

Mish-mash of glitchy, pop, electronic something or other.

It's actually quite good, but is the off-kilter part with the rhythm (where the beat just seems to collapse upon itself) intentional or not?

Sorry Hari, but the shaky time on the live tracks (mostly the hi-hat) is distracting to me. The guitars are very nice, though.

Be more confident. Present your music or don't. Don't halway it.

The beat is supposed the be intentional but its half not. Recording drums by myself is really quite hard. Especially as my playing isn't especially good.

But thanks for the comments :)

I liked it. I found it to be a little irritating, but the irritatingness grew on me, which makes it something I would want to listen to again.

hari - i really like it! you like the microphones a lot?

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 6 May 2005 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

i've never heard the microphones actually! they are my 'to check out list' and have been since about 2002 probably.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Friday, 6 May 2005 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

omigod, hari! i predict you will love them (him).

i guess my one suggestion about your song is that i think its too long. i think its a really nice melody, and good atmosphere, but by the time i've heard everything repeated 3 times, it doesn't feel like theres too much else to hear.

does a lot of your music sound somewhat similar to this, or does it vary a lot?

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 6 May 2005 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

It varys a lot, but i've been trying to work on a more cohesive 'album' type thing and really pushing myself in terms of recording (i've never been taught anything so it's just trial and error really).

I've done about 6 songs of that that seem to work nicely together, if i had anything other than dialup I'd probably upload them.

But on a whole i have 94 songs in total recorded now. I feel like i should do something with them but i don't know what.

I think i'll order a microphones album next week when i have some money!

i think youd really like the glow, pt 2 and it was hot, we stayed in the water.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 6 May 2005 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll definately get one of those. I've been close to buying 'the glow, pt 2' at least twice.
