This is a different mix of a song I wrote with Raymond , with this version appearing here only and nowhere else.
Hope you like it! We normally don't do this style, so hopefully you guys will like it...
This is an awesome song. It brings back memories of the old Metroid games really, with a tight, claustrophobic feeling that makes you well aware that there's only one way to go - down. Further in the song the garbled guitars in the background start to get even more foreboding, the sense of impending doom it creates is excellent. Incredible work!
Thanks dude! We normally don't use electric guitar sounds in our songs, as it's hard to make it sound good, so that means a lot to me.
One little trick I learned...
Notice how the snare drums in part sound almost flanged? What you do is do a riff, and say the snare is in C4 and is a quarter note stretching from beats 4 thru 8 in a measure. Humanize that riff. Then clone it. In the cloned riff, adjust the timing of the notes, so let's say the snare in the cloned riff is playing from beats 6 thru 10. Humanize it. Now when you play them in unison, the note offset make the snare sound completely different.
Try it!
hey i really dig this sounds like film score to a kick ass thug movie or sumptin.great atmosphere and your percussion design astounds me.bravo for this track dude casper
Thanks Casper. Considering you are one of the most talented people here (and that is saying a whole hell of a lot), that means a lot to me.
looks like we got mutual admiration rockin' here lol.ty for those kind words bro.i'd like to meet you guys sometime.i live in oklahoma city,i'm pretty sure u guys are in tx right? casper
Yep..Alvin, TX...I'm a manager at DISH Network.
Wow, really powerful. Sounds oldskool, like Gorex said has an 8-Bit feel, kind of Metroidish/80's. Amazing work, loved the drum pattens and snares!
Thanks dude! Might I also add, the title is *not* a typo...we really did mean "Toxic Sock "
Lol. I thought it may have been a drum & bass cover of "Toxic Shock" by Pendulum in your style. That's a cool name though, reminds me of a smelly sock.
lol...that's actually why we chose the name. Actually, that's been a F2S trademark since the beginning, the jokey song titles. "See you later calculator", "Jungle Fever Blisters", "Willy Wonka & The Weapons Factory", "Octopus Inc", ect.
Rofl @ Willy Wonka and the Weapons Factory
I'm gonna expandon DE Hedfuk, I decided. Need to find M3K first though, gonna dedicate it to you guys as it's pretty random and change the song title, DE Hedfuk was just a prank placeholder name. I'll call it "Courage 2 Start" or something
Courage 2 Start...that's pretty sweet.
Willy Wonka and the Weapons Factory is quite possibly the coolest song name I've ever heard. Seriously. :D
Thanks! I'll upload it later.
??? Link doesn't work. Nooooooooo. Toxic socks sound fantastic too! :P
I'll reupload it.
