    Been experimenting with Ableton recently and finding it a very sexy program altogether.

    I'll be uploading tracks and snippits as I learn the ins and outs of making electronic music.

    Hopefully I'll be able to get a bigger picture, and learn a lot from people here... and eventually develop my own sound :D

    Artists I listen to:
    Aphex Twin
    Boards of Canada
    Autechre
    Múm
    Squarepusher
    The Knife
    Fever Ray
    Wisp
    Prefuse 73
    Plaid
    and lots and lots of old music that came before

          I ate sourkraut last night I thought of this great track ^_^. It is really yummy...both track and dish.

        2. Billov on November 26, 2009 23:37

          @Yibbon: wow... I'm glad the association stuck in your memory :D

        3. Billov on November 26, 2009 23:38

          @Yibbon: I really have to make some time to finish more tracks. I love the creative process... but I just don't want to rush things and make a dogs dinner of it :P

          I think it'd be great if somewhere around here another instrument entered to play the main melody, or maybe a counterpoint.

        2. snowflakecat on June 14, 2009 15:24

          @Faktablad: I agree. There should be some sort of variation to the 8-bit tune, perhaps even a climax.

          i came here for the watery sounds raytrace mentioned and i got them! nice. i don't think of water and sauerkraut together often, but i probably should; it's important to stay well hydrated. anyhow i'm messin around.. i do dig those watery sounds and synthy synths.

        2. Billov on June 01, 2009 13:29

          @mostlyfodder: Thanks man, glad you enjoyed

      This was built out of the scrappy bits I used for Ponyopan. Its a much more ambitious track so I'm sure there's lots of things to improve on. I hope its not too long, so drop a comment and give some feedback doods ¬_¬

      Just a quick experiment with Ableton Still learning the ropes, and I've got a more filled out version on the way.
