Album:
Sock Puppets In My Head

Artist's description:
This song was a lot of fun to write. I got to play with samples of
=> Boomwhackers (hit against the head);
=> An e-bow;
=> Washing machine and dryer whacks;
=> A drain cover (bowed, I think);
=> Assorted "glitch" percussion (which I often use);
=> A music box;
=> A grater; and
=> Assorted "normal" instruments, including a synthy lead, some pads, and a piano.

Lots of fun...

I tried to make the beginning of the track quite "cinematic", because I wanted a strong contrast between it and the "dancier" section. I didn't want this to be just another techno/dance track, so it's quite experimental (at least for me :D).

BTW, if someone wants to suggest better genres, please do. I'm not quite sure, myself. :D

This shouldn't be labeled as "techno" nor "soundtrack"... try find "beautiful" and label it under that category. Honestly this is a mixture of several genres under the same roof in a total harmony. I listen to this piece every now and then, and it's just as good as the first time, every time. I'm still amazed by the great lead-in intro.

Thank you TwiTerror! I took your suggestion, and labelled it "soundtrack" (I also tagged it "breaks" - thanks Nyje!). I'm really glad you liked it.

Oh wow. This mix is very 'clean.' Maybe my ears are just fresh, but the intro of this track just sits so nicely. Nyje is right about 'smelling' the song, I can smell it too (; I don't really hear techno, but I don't care too much for genre classification either. The sample work stands out the best to me here, and the percussion is particularly brilliant in the 2:20 section. Again, a very clean sound. Like Spacewalk said, it's dark and sweet, and that's a sound I love. It starts to get a little repetitive before the end, but then it has its outro, so it's no big problem. I enjoyed it through the duration of the piece, so no qualms at all. Great work! Keep it up (: I'd definitely call this more 'soundtrack' or cinematic for sure.

This is more like Breaks than Techno, but I smell the love in this song. Very inspired.

Thanks, Space Walk! I'm glad you liked it so much. The intro was probably one of the most fun sections to write. :)

Sorry - I forgot to tag it. AFAIK, there's a bug with the reuploading, though, so I've uploaded the tagged version as the "source" file. :)

The intro to the song is in one word fantastic. In my opinion starting a song with an intro based on drums/percussion intensifies the excitement of whole trip. The theme is cool and driving, it sounds dark yet somehow sweet. Overall a top notch song with one hell of an intro.

Hey, you should ID3 tag your music too. Took me forever to find this on my iPod today. :P

Hey, I like your monkey pics for your music. Anywho, I'll listen to this in a bit, I'm doing some exam studying right now.
