Although the announcement is not yet official, I want to share my new compilation album.
It’s again 100% renoise, ofcourse, and again completely made with hardware synths - no VST instr. used.
Yes, there are some tracks on soundcloud (most songs are like ‘demomuziek’, check on www.cosmiq.nl > main page has embedded soundcloud tracks).
However, the newer (imho better) tracks are not yet on soundcloud. 90Mb isn’t thát big these days, is it?
I always had separate track downloads on my webpage, but more people wanted to have packages so they didn’t have to download each separate song. (lazyness)
Anyways, thanks for checking them out!
Really excellent album!
Fantastic sounds (programming, mixing) and diversified tracks.
Is this going to be released on a netlabel? (What do you mean with “official announcement”?)
Btw. nice studio and synthesizers
No it’s not going to be on a netlabel. I’m kinda working on my own. I’ve been in some scene music groups in the past, but they all kinda died (Logic / FMC / Inque which is still active)
As for the album, i’m not yet satisfied with the cover, and maybe add/remove some tracks so it’s not yet on cosmiq.nl (which makes it ‘official’) – I’m still working on lots of test-tracks, so don’t know if it’s the final version of the album yet.
Thanks for the words.
Most of the work is indeed recording one-shots for rythms and fx. But I also use longer midi in patterns (and then record the complete sequence as a wave, sometimes while tweaking). Then I create a second column in the same track (with just one note triggering the recording) and mute the midi. This works great since the autoseek function in samples And it’s still interesting to use automation for extra effect tweaks and mastering on the long samples.
The downside is that renoise files become huge, but that’s ok
…just listening to your “Onslaught” remix… really enjoying the type of music. Reminds me of the good old days, when everybody started crying
tears of joy upon seeing some flat shaded cubes bouncing of chess boards.
You did an awesome job in catching that special atmosphere .
A couple tracks unheard… liking it very much. In fact, one the best stuff I have heard here for a looong time. Well done mister. Onslaught gave me a hard-on.
