Nnnkay, listened to it.

ummm yeah, sounds sorta like free elctro jazz with a little bit "The Doors" style.

the 3rd or 4th track sounded like Sex Pistols doing punk on Synthesizers.

very expiremental indeed

:twisted:

This sounds really good man. I dig the unique style a lot.

Reminded me a bit of Sworn - Electrorock ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFl8GZl8N_4 ).

we've got a new album finished and we've uploaded a few new tunes on our myspace.

we've used the sp404 on pretty much every song and extremely extensive on "kowloon walled city".

i'd be glad if you guys would check out the new stuff.

cheers,
kevin

hi
interesting stuff.
i felt influences coming from syd barrett, animal collective, genesis, shudder to think and others...
how do you use SP samplers in this case? for the fx or?

i will send you an add for another indierock project i have.

peace

yeah, you're right with barret and animal collective, but i don't get much from the other ones you mentioned.

some songs are just the 404, e-drums and vocals like "kowloon walled city". on other songs we use it for ambient sounds and weird noises. or we just synch it up to our boss-rc50 and let some synthpatterns run on their own. i've got a korg koassilator in the input and thats where most of all the samples come from.

ok for genesis, but shudder to think...maybe not.
