Oh no! You're doin' sprouts again!

I thought you gave up that habit... those things are going to melt your brain man.

Off to rehab!

Ah, Gideon... always the level head

Swerve Tweeter, I listened to all your tracks (*except sleepwalker) and most remind me of 80's new wave, but with a weird horror, circus, waltz type attitude. Your audio quality is substandard, and what's up with your quantization? Everything sounds a little off tempo, or at the very least some odd time signatures happening.

Not my style of music but you have some talent. If you're looking to chart top then I'd say do what others do, become a promotion whore. I spent two solid weeks promoting my new stuff to college radio and night clubs in other states, not to mention typical online activity. Good luck.

*sleepwalker won't stream and it's downloadable file is 0:00.

Ok, I'll check acidplanet.

edit: checked out sleepwalker. Much different then the other stuff you have here at AS, I like it. The sound quality is much better than your other work here too.

If you're not sequencing most of the time, yet you use pre recordings to play live while you play other stuff, isn't that similar to using a sequencer, meaning non live at some point?

My point is you don't like sequencers because they kill your live vibe, yet you obviously use pre recorded samples to play live, which is not live. You come off so cavalier about not using sequencers I just thought maybe you were being a little hypocritical

...ive never liked using computers for the whole production its way to time consuming for what is only a part time hobby for me.

OK, so... help me out here, Mr Swerve Tweeter...

Are you tape based then..?

If you're not using a computer I'd have to say your part time hobby must be far more time consuming than it would be if you used a computer. Wouldn't it. Or have you discovered some devine secret that allows you to compose, record, mix and master freehand at warp factor one.



I'd love to hear about your process. I'm sure others would too. We're all recording junkies here. Most people here, myself included, get off on hearing how other people make music. Sure, there are some among us who are only interested in getting their egos massaged, but for the most part the overall mentality here is techno-geek.






So lay it on us, brotha..!!

How do you get the sound from your head into other peoples?

The weird thing here ST is that you're the first 'electronic' musician I've met that doesn't care about perfect timing. That could work for you because it's an original approach, but also against you because the masses will have trouble digesting music that sounds out of sync.
If you don't care about the masses liking your music why say "It bugs me when i spend hours coming up with a tune with melody and direction. Then for some idiot to upload a bunch of hap hazard samples with a beat over it and call it music." Sounds like you'd really appreciate some recognition for your hard work.
