I do make some music, although it is in the wrong genre I think :P. If you are not into Aggrotech and similar that is :).

I did some ambient tracks in the past but unfortunately my computer which I use for music making crashed 2 months ago so I need to retrieve the files from it before I can share any tracks =/. I mostly keep them on a CD or in the comp and then play them at clubs.

I am a perfectionist and therefore I havent tried to sell my musik (I never fell completely finished with a song) something that I need to get better at.


I will however start to play violin the next year (a life long dream) so lets see how that goes :).

That is one awesome song. *Loving* the guitar play and tone. Definitely going to listen to it more often. ;D
Thanks  :)


No bass players around? oh i wish I don't have to buy a bass if we make it!!!

Please everyone, give links to your music, in some time we'll be enough to make one, or even more separated collab projects

I made a change to my post above, as I believe that might have been what you were referring to ;)

nope, not really sure what your talking about

I guess we could use some mail and chat as time goes by.
This post is an indispensable reference to claim out and proud our disponibility.
But in days, we could share opinions on chat or with mail and share music as well.

P.S:Someone knows some chat usable on ipad?

Your not the only one. I thought it had something to do with the amount of posts I push (x > 100 posts) . lol. 

But yeah I was planning on listening to your music, as well as everyone elses, but my phone wouldn't let me at that time. I think it had something to do with the browser on my phone. So now I'm home and about to get rolling with them. :)


Triple Hug ;)

So I just listened to your music and really dig it! I am in awe of it since I would love to make electronic music but have no experience with anything but a piano and some old analog recording equipment. Please teach me your ways!!! :)

Also, I feel ignored/looked-over much of the time on this forum too, so I feel your frustration. But you seem cool and I really like your music!

Ok, Just finished listening to everything. All I want to say is WOW. Ok thank you.

Just kidding. I was pretty entertained.

rylieLove<< I enjoyed your mixes pretty well. So bare with me a sec, because it could just be me listening on laptop speakers. However, In ant autopilot I noticed the reverb from music to the movie clips are a little mismatched. I was able to tell that it was switching from one to the other from that. But everything else I liked a lot. the Jim Croce had a dream felt really good to me. Pretty cool mix.

Sweet Blue Girl<< The Fortress took me back in time. I felt like I needed to smoke some weed or something. It was really cool. It also seemed like it needed to be in a James Bond Intro. I kudos it.

AndromedaVox<< Holy wow. I enjoyed the album like a lot. At certain moments in my life I love to listen to just Piano and Vocals, and this was one of those moments. Yes adding drums and other instruments will plump it up to the popular music section pretty easy. But I still like the Piano and Vocal combo. My favorite was definitely the free one("Dance of the Yellow Flower")lol. Some how it reminded me of "Mad World", don't ask me why. lol I would be very interested into seeing what rileyLove could do with the "Dance of the Yellow Flower".


I enjoyed it all.
Hugs :)

You all made me so excited to share. So I posted this just recently. This was something I was trying to make before my computer died. So I never got to finish it. Its pretty rough, hopefully one day I'll get back to it.

AndromedaVox<< yo your "Dance on the Yellow Flower" is freakn addicting. lol. IDK if your still messing with it or not. But this might be a small change if you are. When you hit the first chorus there is a backup singer in there. I would suggest taking it out only for the first time. So when the second time the chorus hits it adds another jolt to it.

Hug :)

Yeah I have heard that my songs are sad for the most part, but I would love to add some production to them eventually! Thanks for your honest critique. I am not necessarily set on collaborating I just like getting feedback :)

I guess the youtube sessions were not the best compositions... The site ones are better. You could use some production on them, to emphatize melodies and so on, violins and cellos ( my secret passion by the way ) could do the work but also drum and bass on moore rythmic songs as the free one.
I don. 't like the way your voice sounds, it is too much house recording, your voice should come out stronger, and it is a problem of production ( any voice can come out stronger with proper tools ) and maybe recording ( you recorded the voice with a wrong mic maybe ). These are just general thoughts
Of course every song has his problems to solve, just like mine, as I said before. Solving them is the best way to Transmit emotions directly to the listener heart...

Thank you so much for the compliments on the songs! Yeah Dance of The Yellow Flower is a song I wrote when I was in the middle of the recording process and put it on the album last minute. I think the idea of background vocals coming in later could really work, though I just really love the combination of our voices on the track. But good suggestion! Thank you :)

No the youtube songs are really old, the ones on bandcamp are the ones I'm most proud of. The aim of this album was to really just be a stripped down recording of my work, without much production. I wanted there to be a really raw element to the album, so what you are hearing is my voice and piano with very little manipulation (a little reverb and mastering but that's it). A couple of friends of mine recorded the album and mastered it as a favor to me so I didn't have much of a role in the mastering process, but there are definitely a few tracks in which my voice could come out stronger. But overall, I'm happy with my voice on most of it (especially Dance of the Yellow Flower and Clean Enough, which came out the best quality.

Oh and BrokenCode, I LOVE the song Mad World and play it all the time. Maybe I subconsciously took from it in writing my other songs :)

But Im hoping to get back into it when I get my new computer.

Maybe OP can make a plan (song layout) and then we can all chime in something, like a short section, doesn't have to be a whole instrument track. For example I could do a little guitar part or bass (though I haven't picked it up in a while lol).

First we need to pick a key... either B, E or A minor? Those are the simplist.
