Judging by the widespread interest in Daft Punk around here, I figure you guys must have a marginal interest in electronic music, so I thought I'd share a bit of my production work here.

My current project is Sick Kitty, a duo consisting of me and my buddy Taylor. We started in 2008 as a gag backstory to a fake documentary we made for a stupid film contest... it was bad, but we stuck with the music. We're gearing up to release our first EP here in the next several months, which should be pretty cool. You can hear some of the un-perfected demo mixes below:

Ocean Ocean This was our first 'real' song. It was originally a chiptune house dealio, but it morphed.

Bedroom Bedroom We did this one after the Superbowl last year. We just finished it up last week with the uke, vocals, clarinet and such.

Mountain Mountain (Year 3000) This one was very special - one of two songs we wrote and produced a demo for in less than two hours. The result was nice, so last summer we went and professionally recorded the vocals and put together a better mix. Still in need of some tweaks, but this is largely what you can expect.


I also do my own stuff under the name of Boba Fettuccini. A lot of my miscellaneous stuff can be heard on that same soundcloud account, but here's a few highlights.

Danger In My Eyes The 80s produced some very interesting pop in Italy. Full of groovy samples you can cut up and make say anything. I've gotten really good feedback on this one so far.

Does It Offend You Yeah? - We Are The Dead (Boba Fettuccini's Coffeehouse Electro Remix) The name speaks for itself. If Starbucks played edgy electronic music, this would be it.

This is what happens when I tackle my record collection and decide to try some hip hop. None of my rhymes do it justice, thus it remains instrumental.

My Contraption Last one - My Contraption. This started as a challenge from a girl I liked to do something with more musical progression and more than one verse. Then she rejected me, and I decided to turn it into the most awesome piece of repetitive disco house I could to spite her. mature, right? What came out was a sort of ironic blend of 2010 top 40 and early 2000s French house with orchestral elements to mix it up a bit. This is far by my biggest track yet. None of its incarnations have done much to impress the chicks though (with the exception of the dubstep version...)

I just thought I'd share, see if anyone was interested. If you like it, you can follow me on my FB page. abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

Velvet Acid Christ fan eh!?
VAC is one of my favorite bands of all time, I have all of Hexfix's CDs.
Definitely not for the light of heart. VAC is some of the darkest music I have ever listened to.

Oh, yes, I do. Simple waveforms with a bit of crush and distortion applied can give you some genuinely phhhaaaat sounds.

binaryzero Wrote:although if i may impart one minor complaint: on my monitors here the mixes are pretty brutal on the top end, maybe a gentle 6db lowpass filter at 12khz to soften it?

Something I will experiment with when I render everything up for my summer vocal debut EP. I haven't done a lot with mastering becaus emy resources are limited - not a lot of audio tools, and my studio headphones busted, and I don't have studio monitors like User897 suggested.

*Tron shades* Awwwwww yeeeeeeah boiii! Kinda made a comic about that, actually. Not the music specifically, but yeah.

I was just wondering about doing DPish schtuff on a budget when I came across this. Any recommendations on cheap software for 0-budget electronic music creating?

I didn't get to listen to the whole playlist yet but I enjoyed what I heard.

Have you by chance done remixes of music from either of the TRON films?

@Tron Fanatic: For software itself, nothing good comes cheap. Most people recommend FL Studio, but I'd advise against it - the sounds are cheap, and overall it's just a gimmicky toy for middle schoolers to make happy hardcore. If you really actually want good, easy-to-use software that can get you cool results, i recommend Ableton or Acid Pro. Ableton is powerful, and Acid Pro has the most intuitive interface I've ever used.

And depending on which Daft Punk era you want to experiment with, you'll need different tools. Human After All was largely filtered electric guitars and talkbox/vocoder. Discovery is a lot of disco samples, so a few gigs of old disco vinyl rips couldn't go wrong. You'll need some good vintage synth patches for Homework. If you're going for Tron, you'll need a full symphony orchestra and some several thousand dollar Moogs. :B I'd urge you though to try something original. Everyone I know who decides to copy someone else ends up with really unoriginal, bland work that isn't memorable. I'd recommend getting some random sorts of tools together and start messing around and do something that's totally you- I guarantee you it'll be more interesting.

Well normally I am not one for copying just because I happen to like it, but in this case there's a very specific reason that I want something that feels like TRON. (see sig ) I don't want to just lazily rip sound bytes off the film scores though. (and yeah, I know about the orchestra, but with instrument samples that can all be done too in some limited capacity)

What I intend to do is incorporate elements of the Wendy Carlos TRON Scherzo into a modern soundtrack. If I can get it to feel like T:L at the same time, that's great because its excellent both for storytelling and gaming.

Oh I certainly don't expect a masterpiece my first time out. This is something I've wanted to do for years though ever since I stumbled on the Commodore Amiga mod format 'Tracker' scene.

As for getting help, it did cross my mind about asking you, at least for one song, but with what you said about originality, artistically it sounds like it wouldn't be your cup o' tea, and since I don't have the resources to pay anyone for work, I certainly wouldn't want anybody doing something that they're not happy with.
