You can find all their music on their bandcamp. It's a "pay whatever you want" deal. You can listen to all the tracks before downloading, and even download all the music for free if you want!
No problem! Always happy to share music.vasiD said:Thanks for sharing those two, haven't heard either before. I'm always looking for new music to both study and spin.
ELECTROCUTICA's music is a bit harder to find, most of their music are on albums only available in Japan. Though, they do have a bunch on singles on iTunes.
Woah, no way, I didn't realize Mr. Bill was in Electrocado! That explains a lot. I'll have to look into this Ryanosaurus as well. Gotta love the Sidney glitch/bass scene.
It's silly because everyone thinks the computer does all the work. I wish. I mean it works that way if you just sample everything, but you can only really get away with that business in Rap. In fact most EDM requires a deeper understanding of music than rock. In rock you just have the group play chords together, and each musician needs (and often has) little to no knowledge of music theory beyond chords and possibly their function, add to that the fact that each musician only needs to know how one instrument works in the context of the song.Ninjasander said:"EDM IS NOT PROPER MUSIC ARGBRGHSABLARG".
I hear this way too often, sadly.
For some reason this got me to think about chiptune, and then this song.
My mind works in mysterious ways.
An electronic music producer has to know how not only every instrument functions in a song, but also how every frequency functions if they really want to produce something authentic. Basically: just knowing how to play the piano isn't enough, you have to understand the concepts behind playing EVERY instrument you want to use, and what they do within their frequency range, and then you have to go through and apply dozens sometimes even hundreds of effects (that you need to understand in a rather deep way unless you want to spend all night doing one sound by ear) to get that perfect sound. And I'm not even getting started on the most complex part: building your instrument from the ground up using sound synthesis.
In other words: To everyone who thinks making electronic music is simple; There sadly is no 'awesome button' and to get a true club hit a producer needs far more knowledge than a band member (and sometimes even a whole band).
Damn... /rant.
I suppose you don't need to know this at all as you're probably already aware, but if you weren't now you have something solid to back it I guess? Really I just wanted to soapbox for a second. XD
Also, I love Chiptune! I incorporate it into the high end of every song I make. In fact the song I'm working on now is a mixture of chiptune, glitchhop, and dubstep built around the theme of JRPGs.
