Helium Stare (LSDJ, FL, FAMITRACKER, AND PIANO)

Uploaded by Downstate on December 21st 2009, 03:01 AM

im really pleased with this one, a combination of electronica/idm and 8 bit sounds. I used famitracker for the distorted synth, magical 8 bit, and native instruments acoustic piano, and some sliced recordings of a voice from a bent kids toy, the drums are samples of my own loops and hits from lsdj, plus a few other random sid samples. Hope you like it, its pretty long as usual haha, Merry christmas all. www.myspace.com/earlysatellite

  • Downstate : @vytong - odd is good : )

  • vytong : sorry, but am i the only one that thinks this is odd, i don't really see anything good in the beginning, the rest are good

  • ChristopherWiltsie : I love how you can make such abstract ideas become coherent. This kind of reminds me of radiohead but crazier

  • Tronika : Now that's a tasty beat ;D loving this song.
    on February 23rd 2010, 04:45 AM
  • Brother Android : This is a pretty great one. The beat reminds me of Autechre, but a little more structured, and the rhythmic use of voice samples makes me think of "Telephasic Workshop" by Boards of Canada. The glitchy sound is really well-done. Nice.

  • Guyoné : how i enjoyed this very well structured and just amazing :S I don´t know why but some parts remind me to 65daysofstatic (and I that as a big compliment )

  • Derris-Kharlan : I agree with µB about the progression change. It would have been very welcome. But besides that this track is phenomenal. I really enjoyed this a lot. Great work.

    on January 12th 2010, 06:27 PM
  • Downstate : thanks i take that as a great comlpiment, those instrumentals by Mr H and Mike Shinoda were bloody awesome, i always wished they'd done a side project of just breaks like that, but instead they kinda carried on and since meteora, LP have been somewhat forgettable imo. Cheers . T

    on December 28th 2009, 12:03 AM
  • Bad Spud Artist : This is one of the best songs I've heard on this website. I'm going to download it and listen to it frequently. Do you have any EPs or albums for download?
    on December 27th 2009, 04:13 PM
  • Hurrigame Boy : charts. well done, you deserve it, i still listen to this like every night.

  • Reteris : You probably have me confused with Thretris. Common mistake, don't feel bad.
    on December 27th 2009, 07:27 AM
  • Reteris : This is superb. I wish I was talented enough to make ambient stuff like this. MAKE MORE
    on December 27th 2009, 07:18 AM
  • Downstate : Thanks 8bc ! My humble shit made the chart, im glad some of you dig the experimental/ambient side of chip :) , i know many slate the likes system ...but for me its always nice to know people have enjoyed listening to something ive spent hours/days crafting whilst lost in my own little world haha
    on December 27th 2009, 02:31 AM
  • Downstate : Yes i agree on that man ! 8 bit lends itself well to electronica/IDM.....im trying to invent Bitronica ya see haha, thanks for the comment, we should definately try to make something together someday, i really enjoy youor eeire circuit bent sounds Mr beverage.
    on December 26th 2009, 05:43 PM
  • Beverage : Absolutely fantastic. This is the direction I wish more artists would go.
    on December 26th 2009, 07:08 AM
  • Downstate : @µB: thanks glad you liked the track, i think its the best ive made in a while, a nice blend of crunches glitch and melody....i guess i couldve progressed the chord sequence a bit, but i was happy milking what i already had going on haha,.... come on boards of canada and fuck buttons do that all the time lol. T
    on December 24th 2009, 03:08 AM
  • µB : Lovely drums, and the piano&voice samples are unobtrusive, skillful touches. For a track that length a little variety in the chord progression would have been neat, but that's just a minor nag. Good stuff!
    on December 23rd 2009, 10:58 AM
  • Downstate : thanks tons guys! didnt think this many of you would dig my weird shite! :)
