ding ding ding we have a winner, exactly

it's one thing to not like a collection of songs or an artist's style, but that particular song is obviously not at all a serious attempt on the genre, hence why i think you got trolled with it

SadPanda, how does it feel to create happiness and joy?

dude me too,  holy fucking shit i listened to his jams on the birth of myspace

I hope all the artists on this compo actually spit the lyrics on your tracks or this will be really retarded IMO

Though I agree with many of the sentiments posted in this thread, there's something I genuinely, really enjoy about this release.

In chipmusic, we tend to have a philosophy of "more is more." Huge kicks, wav bass going through endless wavetables, arpeggios that wash over everything. There's a gravitation and fetish fo making things "huge." I must admit, it's refreshing to see releases like this to really see where we've all come from and at the same time, is sounding huge really "better?"

There is a lot of potential in this project. You already have the foundations of healthy repetition and a building melodic sensibility. The first two tracks were easily my favorites because they are perfect examples of this.

Though they have no real easy answer and are only my one single person's opinion only, here are some things to consider. I by no means am an authority on any single thing relating to this music, but at the very least these concepts have helped myself in some way:

• Try giving the listener a reason why they just heard a phrase. Consider each new part an unanswered question that becomes answered with a subsequent part of the song. Traditionally this is achieved in the verse-chorus-verse-chorus method, but you have every right to be as creative as you want. A "part" doesn't necessarily mean a song section, it can even be a snippet of an instrument's pattern (a "motif")

• Consider a release as more than just a collection of new songs. Having some sort of underlying meaning behind it can make the difference between a mixtape and a refined EP, for example. This doesn't mean having all the songs in the same key/style/tempo/etc., but the release could benefit from telling a story from start to finish. This point like the others is completely subjective though, and I guess I'm just old school in that I like listening to releases straight through-especially EPs because of their length.

• Try embellishing your lead lines with some dramatic effect. At the very least, a pitch bend and a little vibrato can go a long way in taking a stagnant melody into a soaring line.

I look forward to see what you'll release next-keep it up!!!
