So guess who got himself a place on CoLD SToRAGE's site

 

So I submitted my remix of Sonic 2's Hidden Palace Zone theme to OCRemix - after shortening it by editing some areas to fit OCRemix's size limits - and I recently heard back from them... they shot it down here is their review:

"Neat track to work with, and you have some good ideas, but right now the song isn't developed enough, with a lot of areas that are very sparse.  The overall interpretation on the melodies is low as well, I'd suggest focusing on those two areas first.  Production and sounds overall are ok, but they could honestly be better as well.  I'd suggest using our WIP forums to get some more feedback."

What do you guys think?

I have attached the edited version that I sent them.

Here is my remix of Lava Reef Zone act 1 music from Sonic & Knuckles!

Not sure if it is finished or not...ideas?

Anyone remember how there was that lovely, emotive tune in Sonic The Hedgehog 2? Here it is:



Ya it was to be the theme to the scrapped "Hidden Palace Zone" level.

Check out my attached remix

Hello everyone, I am back.

HOW IS EVERYONE?!?!?!?!

I have some exciting news, which can be received here:



So basically yeah, I am on a contract with two distributors, and I am now my own label. I have redesigned my logos and am redesigning my site to coincide with this exciting new venture

( I discovered the "glass text" technique using Photoshop to add an edge to my logos )

Thank you for your support

SO ANYWAY! What has been happening here? Is Rob back?

Hey guys I am working on revising one of my old tunes "A Thousand Secrets". I have no idea what genre/category to put this under.

I decided I need to fatten up the drums.

I am attaching both the original and the new version - please compare and tell me what you think. I am asking for actual constructive criticism as this is a work in progress and I need to know what people think of the new version COMPARED to the old version.

Thanks guys!

But what does the "Karma: ##" part under a user's picture mean?

I love the variety we now have on TIMGUL

Two artists making good urban beats - dutch and koolass! And I LOVE the attitude they have

Two artists making good rock - knowlesy and danthrax

and the whole host ambient, house, trance, drum n bass etc!!

Whoever electronic music, rock music and urban music cannot go hand in hand?

This forum is SO hot that if I had tits made of cheese they would be melted onto a nice pizza for us all!

Inspired by artists such as
s p a c e b a r
fear2stop
aphex twin
My first attempt at load of fucking noise.
Fruity Loops.


Featuring two time signatures, some phat compression, and don't bother dancing to it because your rhythm will trip over itself and end up in a knot.
I hope you engulf it!!

I get the feeling Rob likes bass.

SMILE PLEASE COME ON AND PASS IT ON FROM FACE TO FACE
SMILE PLEASE COME ON EVERYBODY WEAR A HAPPY FACE
SMILE PLEASE COME ON AND BLAST ALL YOUR TROUBLES INTO SPACE
SMILE PLEASE COME ON AND PASS IT ON FROM FACE TO FACE
ITS SUCH A SIMPLE POINT OF VIEW: SMILE AND THE WORLD SMILES BACK AT YOU

"Grey Area" by White Origins
"This album is designed with the intention of creating a space in which you can become in touch with yourself. Stop, Listen, Be."
ambient; electronic; chillout. MADE USING [fruityloops 9, music 2000, audacity]

...listing the pieces...

1 - "99"
At a tempo of 99 BPM, however this is redundant since there are no beats or even a rhythm
Like relaxing on bubbles while your skin sips the sea
>> waves, whales, bubbly sounds, pad and dolphins from MUSIC 2000

2 - "Firelight"
The first piece I ever made and the only piece I put on iTunes
entrancing and enchanting, like a flame

3 - "The Inertia Of A Calm Evening"
Inspired by sitting in my living room looking out at a dusky evening and witnessing that the only movement was the trees gently swaying in the wind in the distance
Meditative but very deep
>> vinyl, distant vocal cries, sfx and drums from MUSIC 2000

4 - "Untitled (You Name It)"
Originally a much more upbeat, shorter piece with drums and much other percussion; anything but Ambient - eventually stripped of all that to become this
Coloured emotions
>> sfx from MUSIC 2000

5 - "Small World"
Inspired by the kinds Chillout music found on classic albums such as "Chilled Euphoria" and "The Very Best Euphoric Chillout Mixes Breakdown"
Like a Sanctuary of Life, epic
>> twilight pad, dolphins, hihat, snare, bongo, white noise, boom echo, sweeping sfx from MUSIC 2000

6 - "Essence Gardens"
Originally intended to be a VERY electronic Techno track with distortion pasted all over the drums. It then became my first attempt at an electronic version of Classical
Pretty, natural and lovely
>> birds from MUSIC 2000

7 - "Subtle"
Originally was supposed to include drums and such, but I changed my mind. Piano inspired by dZihan and Kamien's "Homebase"
Charming; Sublime; and so slow it makes you feel like even if you were standing still this piece would still be telling you to slow down and wait for it
>> bass from MUSIC 2000

8 - "What Do You See?"
Many people have said it sounds Oriental

Inhale it, there -----< gimmesound.com/whiteorigins (from 2009)
Materialise it, where -----< lulu.com/product/cd/grey-area/6256333 (from 2010)

White Origins, aka RSCONCEPTIONS
(Rikki)

Are you not all interested to the faces behind the sounds? If so, who you gonna call??? PICTURE POSTERS!

Revived an old remix slightly.
Let me know what happens in your head when you listen.

Originally by CoLD SToRAGE (Tim Wright) for MUSIC (Creation On The Playstation).
Remixed by Me.

Please check out the 3 parts of my latest EP "The Abyss (parts 1, 2 and 3)"

The idea is that they all follow straight on from each other without a gap in sound. They are all centered around the same theme but are all 3 are varied and different.

hey guys - how good is last.fm for uploading your own music as an artist?

what are its features, what does it offer?

Any drawbacks?

Would you recommend it?

Chilled, funky house, featuring my own voice :O
Enjoy it like you would enjoy pizza topped with your favourite TV show.

Being licked by the sun wrapped in the ocean IS what this song IS.

genre chillout(?)
alias Rikki
duration 8:40

Pronounced "quartz", made in FL Studio with some help from Music 2000. You might call it chillout, with essences of classical, quite epic in places.

Enjoy

'And Then The Sunshine Came And Lit Our Lives Up'
'Quarze'

genre Chillout, Chill-house
alias Rikki
duration 5:48

This is a tune that I will be releasing on my GimmeSound along with another.
Made in FL Studio, with some Music 2000 samples.

A very still tune, might sum up laying on a lounger by a pool.

Enjoy,

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=1081287&songID=9323869

I have a new album planned.
I dunno what artist name I will release it under.
I don't know what genre(s) it will incorporate.

But it is going to be a concept album. An album about Autism.

Ideas for songs and their titles are already in the making...

A slight twist on the the forum classic - "Say something nice...about the poster above, in relation to their music."

For instance, if DJ Droppin' was above me I'd say something like...

"I love the immense effort he puts into fine-tuning every detail of everything in his tracks."

I would start, but there's no-one above me, and since no-one has not made any music, then the next poster should start.

no one bothering with it anymore?

@ www.gimmesound.com/Rikki

"Behind These Eyes"
and "Memorie"

please let me know what you think.

On Monday I had an interview at a local school for children with special needs, and today I found out I got the job!!!!

So I will be working with children with a mixture of physical disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorders and severe, profound and complex learning difficulties.

WOOOOOOOOT

I am now known as RS CONCEPTIONS - a better name for my brand of music. I am still producing under the artist aliases Rikki and White Origins (and others to come), but collectively, I am RS CONCEPTIONS. RS standing for Rikki Sho.

Upon seeing Bliss's comment about Droppin's "Future Dreams" and how he wish he had made it, I thought I would start a relevant thread.

We are a good bunch of musicians and we make some good music, so what songs/tracks/pieces (from TIMGUL musicians) do you wish you had made?

I personally wish I had made Pillage's "B - Ambient". Magnificent piece!

Check out the links too

Just for fun, but who knows... some may good/useful.

Two from me:

· BUSINESS CARDS, such as mine...



· SELF-MADE WIKIPEDIA PAGES. Many musicians/bands etc. have them. You can just register on Wikipedia and build one. Give links to your sites/music... I can't see what would be stopping us?

Any others??

So for the sake of me, and as we do in Circle Time at the kids clubs I volunteer at...

My name is Rikki, and something about me you may not know is - I have Synaesthesia.

*next person*...

Hey guys. 5 new tracks are up for download on mine, @

www.gimmesound.com/Rikki

A New Rose
Lonely With The Stars
Cornwall
and my 2nd EP, Need.

Hey guys. I read Bass Launch's re-introduction post and he makes it sound like some kind of apocalypse happened on TIMGUL lol.

Now I am not gonna stick my nose in and what ask what happened. But I do wanna say I hope it does not happen again. I have been on plenty of chatrooms/forums and left because of clashes and nastiness so I'd rather than not happen here. I really enjoy this forum because the support that is offered, the wonderful feedback on music, the inspirational music... it's all fantastic.

So Yeah.

Rikki / White Origins

A second attempt at Breaks. This is not finished, so it is a work-in-progress.
What do you Breakbeats experts think?

Kind of influenced by JCW and also Aphex Twin.

if you have it, flaunt it...

rikki-inside@live.co.uk

Just a bit of fun, can you identify it ? Just something I cooked up this moment

Hey guys PLEASE let me know what you think of my first attempt at a Chilled Drum & Bass track. This is not finished and needs work but I would like some mid-production feedback

Thanks guys

Hey guys, please add me as a YOUTUBE friend. It saves me going through all guys on here and messaging them to say who I am.

Hey guys, I have re-worked my remix of the Tomb Raider 1 theme tune and I think it is better

I replaced the piano with the harp.
I replaced the kick drum with a smoother, funkier one.
I offset the second-of-every-bar finger-click.
I shortened the entire track by cutting out certain parts that just made it drag on.
I reworked the main string theme.
I turned the bass up a touch, and the pad down a touch.
I added the short little melody that features in the themes to Tomb Raiders 2 and 3.

...

Hey guys. Here is a track from my "mid" years. My early years being Music/M2k on PlayStation, mid years being M2k on PC, current years being FL Studio & M2k . So this is a track from when I was working purely on M2k on PC, before I had even heard of FL.

I don't think I ever came up with a name for it, so it's just "Long Mad Electro" lol. But here it is

.........................................................................

Hey guys, I have come to realise that, for me, the term "songs" is not always an accurate description for certain musical creations. Thus I have adopted this concept...

"Songs" feature vocals. Not just the odd brief vocal sample, but whole phrases. Take the classic Trance track "Cafe del Mar" - no vocals. To me, it just does not feel right calling it a "song". Where as something by Cascada would be considered a song.

"Tracks" are non-vocal music. They may feature the occasional vocal samples, but otherwise it is just music. Drums, bass, guitars, synthesisers, samples, etc. Cafe del Mar is a track.

"Pieces" is a term I use to refer to music that is beatless; features no drums; rhythmless (for instance, you would not feel the automatic desire to toe-tap); time(signature)less; may incorporate vocals (sung less traditionally, and used more as an instrument, so no lyrics as such). Generally speaking this could be considered Ambient music. NOT Chillout music, like the kind featured on albums like this...



...because that does have rhythm, time and beats/drums. And it grabs your attention. But I am talking about the kind of Ambient music that Brian Eno pioneered. Music that is not designed to grab your attention, instead, sits in the background, so some of the time you forget it's there, and yet you are still affected by the calm it creates. Something like the music on Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music For Airports"...



Finally, "Non-Music" is a term I would use to describe music that, in fact, features very little ACTUAL music at all. It would mostly be just nature sounds (birds, jungles, water, wave crashes, waterfalls, crickets, other animals, atmospheres and environments, of which M2k has quit a selection of) and other sound effects. Music that is not music.

What do you guys think?

Rikki

As requested by Shellshaka

Anyone else ever had problems with two specific files - namely "Hardcore 3" in the kickdrum section and "Sample Hold" in the Pad-Softsynth section?

Any time I have used these in tunes in the past the ".m2k" file become corrupt and wouldn't work.

So I have already posted a couple of messages but I figured I would introduce myself here.

I am Rikki, 23 from Kent, England. I use Music 2000 and FL Studio to make my music. I have Colour>Sound Synaesthesia (I see colours and shapes in my head when listening to music).

I wanted to ask - is this forum still busy? I would like to participate in this forum to share ideas, music and tips with people - but I read a "goodbye" thread from another member saying it's a bit dead lately... kind of discouraging?

Hi guys, I have uploaded my remix of CoLD SToRAGE's Philes, from the original "Music".

Made in FL Studio 8, using all the original samples from the original mix as I have and still utilize Music 2000.

I welcome feedback thanks guys, I hope you enjoy it!

Rikki

Hi guys I am new here, I started off making music with Music/Music 2000 and these days use FruityLoops. I still use Music 2000 as a source for samples as most of the samples are superb.

I want to make a remix of CoLD SToRAGE's "Freedom", but I don't know where my PlayStation is, so is it at all likely that anyone could help me out? I need the note/chord arrangements for the main Synth Pad melodies and also the String sections.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Rikki

PS: I have already made a remix of Philes which Tim said he really liked yay me. Would I be able to post it on this forum?
