Listen to my NEW album (Two Thousand and Techno) for free :P

[estemshorn]

I know most of you guys didn't even download my album, and most of those who did said it was lame. Except for the ~5 people who messaged me after I locked the topic saying it was a decent album. IMO Two Thousand and Techno is way better than my debut album, mostly because I've gained much more experience with FL studio since then. This album has only been in the works since around the time my debut album came out, but it has more songs on it, 11 to be exact, and only ONE song has vocals, unlike The Instru-mentals which had 3 (if you include chocolate bagels).

Track Listing (Length: 31:56)
1. Accidental Success
2. Invader Jim
3. Gumdrop Forest
4. Dude, Where's my Cream Cheese?
5. Just Because
6. Two Thousand and Techno
7. Titled
8. Sometimes
9. R. Peggio
10. The Tale of the Rainbow Alligators
11. Did you see the Muffin Man?

I listened to some of it. I'm going to be nice and leave it at that.

[Kermit4Prez]

Thanks for the headache.

You should switch to reggae or something remotely interesting.

Yeah because me trying to sound Jamaican would be so much better than techno

[Metallicaholic666]

my advice: stop "making" music and try to get some actual skill playing music

If by that you mean composing music then playing it, fine. But if you mean just covers, then that's a fail right there.

Composing good music, even the way he's doing it, is probably harder than just playing. Though obviously there are extremes...

I'd recommend knowing what you're talking about before you say things like you know what you're talking about.

I can go on Guitar Pro right now and write a Malmsteen shred fest complete with tons of sweeping and neoclassical dickery. And I can make it sound fine too.

Now, could I play said composition? Maybe, probably not.

That said, the music isn't horrid. It's average techno. I listened to the first track and I felt like playing Midnight Club or something.

Yeah. That's the "extreme" I was talking about. I assumed it was self evident...

Anyone can compose crappy music like he is, but it's crappy because he doesn't even understand it. To learn music theory you need to at least play one instrument, that's my point.

That's what i am currently trying to do, but for now this is all I can do.

I'm probably going to get guitar lessons this summer, and I'm also looking into buying a drum set, because I already know how to play drums it's just I don't have a kit yet.

and i'm gonna buy a midi keyboard.

but this is gonna take a while, since I'm like dead broke right now.

I play piano a lot :P

also, i'm a percussionist, so i guess piano fits in there, but I know a lot about music theory and all that junk.

The reason I don't go out and start something like the Nine Inch Nails, is because of lots of reasons, the biggest one being it takes some money to do that, and making music like this, with FL studio, is free.

>percussionist

Yeah, about that...

I regret ever posting anything, because no matter what it is, somehow kermit finds my stupidity in it.

[vedicardi]

I'm pretty sure everyone finds your stupidity without even needing a second glance.

what do you know about music theory? the difference between a sharp and a natural? come on.

yeah, a lot more than that.
