For fellow TR-AR fans, I would love your opinion on a piece I made in the style of Social Network: https://soundcloud.com/functionform/after-all-the-cake-and-w.... It was made for a for-fun contest where you use one plugin to produce all the sounds. This concludes my self-promotion!
Not a musician, so I don't really have the proper vocabulary, but- as a fan of industrial specifically (and electronic music in general) and as a writer, this has a really nice balance of texture and atmosphere. I could see it being incorporated with visuals and other elements of design/sensory experience for a cerebrally lush creative project. It was nice to listen to, thanks for sharing.
Just to add another data point, I really like it! I'm an enormous fan of the Social Network's soundtrack and I feel you really captured the feel and sound that some of its pieces give (obviously particularly the main theme).
Would love to add it to some of my Spotify playlists if you're on there (but I very much understand if you're only on Soundcloud).
Really nice work. Some really good sounds in there, I especially like the opening which makes me think of a heavily processed chorused piano, and then some of the sounds after that bordering right on the edge of distortion. Very atmospheric.
Also cool to see someone bring up the KVR one synth challenge on here. I participated a few times just for fun and found it an unparalleled learning experience. I highly recommend at least giving it a shot to anyone musically inclined who is interested in learning how synthesizers are used in practice. I guess some months are better than others because they use different plugins each time but the wavetable one on there right now looks pretty interesting.
Really excellent sound design! At first I was a little skeptical of the heavy muddy sound mix-wise but then when it broke up around 1 minute in it paid off more than well. Great track!
Listening to it again, and I really like it. I do agree that after about 1:30 or so when it "opens up" it really hits its stride, and I go from like, yeah this is good, to wow yeah this is great after about 1:30. It leaves a great after-taste and makes you want to listen to it again.
