It's the widow's peak ;) Oh, and he's a character from an SCTV skit (Canadian SNL-type skit comedy show from about 30 years ago). Dave Thomas, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Joe Flaherty, Martin Short, Harold Ramis all started on SCTV. Woot Canuckians :D

Now I wish I knew who that is. :p

Your current avatar reminds me a little of Count Floyd from SCTV :D

The simple answer: I don't. Unless you're going for a very specific style, you should either not master your orchestral sections at all, or just give them very slight compression. There are other ways of increasing the "oomph". Hans Zimmer, for example, tends to add a regular bass to his orchestral scores in order to make the lower register louder.

I've got a bit of a question. How in the world do you master an EWSO track. I've been undecided on a striaghtthrough method for getting it loud enough forever now. I'll have a peek at the forums. I've been sticking with a hard limiter, but I'm aware of the consequences. :/

wow - a petabyte of storage and on first name basis with the folks at East-West :-)

CRAQ ON TILT! !TILT ON CRAQ

This is getting scary here....

Braaaaaains!

hahaha, just noticed you're using zombie TiLT avatar!

Oh! At first I thought maybe VOiD has found the elixir which makes you younger for ever year that passes by ;o)

You mean www.medievalfuture.com of course. :) The information on that site hasn't been updated for YEARS, so it's not reliable in any way, shape, or form. We've been tinkering with some new site ideas for a while, but haven't really gotten around to completing it.

On the site... http://www.battlepawn.com ... the information given is that both you and VOiD are born 1979. Yet it says you're 26 and he's 24... now that's magic.

I've got some stuff up my sleeve, but I'm holding off on it until I can give it my full attention. I wish I could take a year off and do nothing but compose music, ah... :)

Feels like I've been waiting forever for some more awesome music - get writing ASAP. ;)

Depends on which tracks you want to use. Send me a PM, and I'm sure we can come up with something. :)

I'm working a smalltime mixed album called Politica - Sound Of The Underground, I was wondering if I could use a few of your tracks in it?

DOOM as musical inspiration? It's crazy... Bobby Prince 4 ever!!! XD

I wish I had the time to compose new stuff. It'll have to wait until things calm down at work.

Hey man, I really think you should upload some more stuff, I keep checking back to see when some new tunes are coming out but they never do :(

Watch 24. :)

I just started to wonder: what do you plan on doing with the hacksaw?

And here is some unreleased DooM music (woahhh). I hear a lot of stuff from older games, very neat. http://rome.ro/2007/06/doom-archaeology.html

Indeed... Now stop spamming my profile page and send me PMs like a normal human being! ;)

Oh, and I purchased RA. What a good decision :O

Good to hear. :)

I've gotten it working through a little tweaking. Renoise on big resolutions (22" monitor) wigs out for me though. Thats where the crackling was coming from, if I minimize renoise it goes away (o_O). Same happened with Kompakt though. (:

Well, you could try contacting EastWest about it. I have no clue what's wrong.

I have my libraries on a secondary SATA drive. I jacked up the buffer settings a little bit though, because I was getting popping. :/

With latest update, you mean the latest Play and VOP updates, right? If so, try tweaking the buffer options in the Play settings. It works perfectly on standard settings for me though... You do have Play installed on a secondary HD, not your primary one, right?

Hey man! I'm having terrible luck with Renoise and Play (latest update, VOP). Any clues or tips? I'm getting a lot of random crashes and things :(

I've been... busy. I've got new material, but I can't post it here. Anything I make that I *can* post goes up here ASAP.

How have you been? Let me know when you put up some new material :D

Some wonderful work you have here man, keep it up!

I don't think anything has been archived from the old TiS, apart from a portion of the music that was archived by roncli.

Is there a AOTM archive from the past TIS ?

Happy AoTM! Bravo :D

uuh, i'm late. Gratz! Nice interview :)

Thanks everyone! I've always wanted to be AotM at TiS :)

Uh oh, more congratulations are in order :)

Congrats, I imagine our interviews would be very similar.

Nice interview. I've also never known about your music, so I'm happy to check it out. Congratz on your AOTM :)

What Mysterium said. Congrats!

congrats on AOTM!

It took a second to get adjusted to, but you were absolutely right. Renoise is the way to go for many cases. I'm very impressed with the VSTi capabilities!

You are right TiLT, I could type a reply like that in the small 'response to feedback' space.

He's referring to Extraterrestrial Lifeforms, I believe.

so what's soundscape?

I can see you evolution of soundscape to the second part, but when the new part starts you end it. Try and make it a bit longer and make a stronger ending. Apart from that in arrangement I miss the drastic climax/tension of the first part, which is purely using the right 7th notes probably ;) The last thing is to work on your mixing here, a clear definition would make this (even) better!

Åå åå åå det går liikar no..
