Finally, folks, a proper album/EP release of mine. Granted, it's my third overall, but it's the first one which has the style of music I intended.

Day One is a four-track collection of songs I made during my studies at college, which also serves as a portfolio for when I ever get to study music further, or anything else relevant. There have been a whole bunch of songs that I wrote during this time ("They Don't Know", "(Release) The Animal Inside" and "This is why I shouldn't have ideas" to name a few.. since they're the only ones with names), but I left those out of this, as they were all at different stages of completion - maybe I'll carry them over for the album, it just depends if I ever get a Mac and Logic at home; since my studies at college are now officially over, I'm back to solely using Music 2000 on PS1/PC until then (Ideally, I'd want to get them asap; I've put a tentative date of Dec '12 for the next release).

Tracklist:
01. Clockwork 2011 (8:15)
02. Aphelion (9:24)
03. Build Around You (Monster) (4:50)
04. The Unlucky Ones Are Those Who Escape* (4:36)
^{*re-recorded as WAV, since Bandcamp won't allow mp3 uploads}
TOTAL TIME: 27 MINUTES

Also note: I have put it as "name your price"; while you can download it for free (just set the price to £0.00), bear in mind this account only has 200 overall free downloads available (until the 20th of each month, in which it's bumped back to 200) before Bandcamp puts a price on it - and I don't know if I have to set it or if they put it there themselves - I'm very new to Bandcamp so I'm still figuring out how this thing works. That said, if you do want to pay for it, then I ain't stopping you. \/\/

So without any more delays, enjoy.

Or endure, whichever applies.

nice! Its fun to experiment with stuff....I can still hear your influence in this with the bass and the snare. hehe...nice work

Cool! i like the new logo too!

Terminal

Weird how some days you can feel lost and be like " I can't write anything , nothings coming " and other weeks you just can't seem to stop yourself. I figure this is one of the good weeks.
In about 10 yrs of writing and about a yr or so of doing stuff with strings in some way , this is the first I have ever written
that has the " Long Horn " sample on...which I dunno why I haven't added before. But I can really appreciate the fuller sound I was striving to get with this one.
Anyhoo...enough yammering.

Just taking an overall listen to this first before commenting. I thought like you'd made a straight up mainstream rap beat , the way you were flogging urself. I really didn't expect a J-machine influenced track to come out.
And to be honest it was a very nice suprise. Really like the bass , the drumwork as always is brilliant but what suprised my the most was that really nice flute melody and the kinda spacey-ish pad melody that also come in.
Really nice work Z , you should totally dabble in other stuff more often.

thanks DJ Eddy. 

i have planned nothing, no special melody in mind.
i firstly done the beat (hit-kick-clap) , i did the complete jumpy melody after (the one fading-in in the begin of the track) and the bass-line.
<i have cloned the song at this point, it evolved differently, the jumpy sound is not there, replaced by an old Dance synth (i worked a few hours on it yet) a kind of alternate of Juump !!!, let me know if you want to listen, but i don't know if i am satisfied with it to share it as it is actually... maybe later>

Music is just an alchemy of sounds, sometimes you find an alchemy & i think here it's a very catchy Music (BPM maybe a bit fast).
also when i found more sounds to add, i played with the riffs, fade & pan (pan is very important for the dynamism of your track, never underestimate it, a track w/o left-right effect is not really finished).

i could upload the Version 1 of the track if you want it (a bit slower, 133 BPM if i am right) but there is less sounds, less effects & there is not a big difference with the build of the track ...
let me know...

maybe the next time , my composition will not be so great as this Title is  .

wait & see  , heu listen, listen !
WAIT & LISTEN   


//EDIT:
added the MP3 version of the track.

Still planning on working on the video...just life's gone to shit right now -_-

This is good work Z! Feeling the Melody! Bass is clean. Great drumwork.
