About me
My goal is to find some kind of balance between "easily accessible" and "complex/profound" in terms of song structure and chord progression. I don't want to be like some kind of power-pop band that uses 3 chords, but I also don't want to be some kind of crazy/abstract idm/jazz thing that is completely unlistenable.

i started writing in impulse tracker in 1997. i feel that i've come a long way since then, but still have a long way yet to go. i am currently using the brilliant program renoise.

Musical inspiration
when i've listened to a good song only about 6 times, and it is new enough to be fresh, but familiar enough to hum along, and the song opens itself up to me and changes my life

Advice to other musicians
keep on making great stuff!

Tight. I'm not familiar with Bach's "original mix" ;), but this is some seriously good listening. What you did right: *Synthesizer/sample selection. The synths and leads sound good. Very powerful lead instruments. *The break at 1:34.. this is exactly where it needs to be. as i was listening the fi

I really really like this. I think this song has a lot more potential in it than what you put into it.

Artist: Renzo
a moody and emotional piece which, despite being very aurally pleasing, does not live up to its full potential as instrumental music.

another standard drum&bass adventure here from thecanary. suitable production is marred by extreme repetition, even for a genre that is known to be repetitive.
