I just did. Will give feedback tonight

Seeing as Sheldon has worn other shirts that hint at deep internet roots (a long time ago he had a Reddit shirt), it is plausible that this is THE logo.

Lol I had other tunes and vids too, but this is it for now. Tonight I'm playing my full EP at this same Starbucks, excited!

As someone who has been to Savannah six different times over the past two years for jazz gigs, I can fully back this. I am currently working on a jazz set with LSDJ to record for my next album. My trombone playing is up to par, but I need to get a bit better at trumpet before I can record it all.

Do covers of jazz standards. Seriously. I did that when I busked in Savannah last Spring, people thought it was cool.

I am very very curious about that serial/VGA port and what it is supposed to do. Is it going to be dedicated to an external controller?

From what I can tell on your track "Raw Core," you definitely have some interesting ideas. Biggest thing to do is establish a beat that follows your pattern, and accent the most important beat. Whether it was in your drums, kick, or anything else, it was very hard to find the strong beats. Try varying your kick (C7 for beat one, C5-6 for the others), or changing up the snare downbeats.

The Ecstacy cover proves that you have a very strong working idea of how to find great sounds in LSDJ. I would love to see a full version.

"Melodrums" seems a little too meandering, it doesn't feel like it is going anywhere important.

"Speed Power Up" is very charming and reminds me a lot of the Sonic games for the Mastersystem. It's quirky and a bit interesting.

"Tjingletjangle" is a sleeping giant, as far as I have heard in your works. There is lots of potential to make a very catchy tune if you bother to restructure the form of the song a bit. The introduction stops suddenly, and the drums and bass feel muddy after about 0:50. With a bit more work it will be much better.

"Dum dum dudum" has some very interesting polyrhythmic sequences that could be sorted into something very neat. The melody coming in around 1:50 does not match the bass line at all, but this could be fixed with mere transposition of one part (melody) or the other (bass). Overall, this song is difficult to listen to because of rhythmic inconsistencies, clashing keys, and lack of structure. But like other songs with these problems, a little effort for structure will go a long way.

"Black Keys and Chinese Melodies" makes very good use of the pentatonic scale. It really clicks around 0:30. The bottom really falls out without warning around 0:50, which is a little jarring for some listeners like myself. The following drum break could use a little more envelope. I suggest having a more complex drum rhythm than what is already in the song, and using the E (envelope) command to make a crescendo in the snare to welcome back the melody.

You could do very well if you looked online a little bit about song form and general music theory. You have some very interesting pieces, and they are much better than my first ones in LSDJ. Good luck, and keep on pumping out the ideas.
