I'm still not a nihilist. Contributors: Big thank you to clones for offering to create the guitar tracks that make this tune much more alive the second time around :D Awards received: No awards received yet.

Reviews Review this song Reviewed by Cortoh Hasur on May 15, 2008 I have been listening this track for almost 2 days now, trying to find a flaw. And truth is, I couldn't spot any.

The crunchy bass synth seems ready to drag us down to unknown depths, while the somewhat tribal drums make the ride enjoyable. The guitar provide... Read full review

Comments Jul 01 2008 9:16 pm by Din replying to ntltrmllgnc Are they having problems at Nectarine? The last time I tried listening a month or so ago the server was down for the site :( Jun 28 2008 3:14 pm by ntltrmllgnc hey does anyone remember tracks by fajser on the original TiS? you can find his stuff on nectarine this is like some of his pieces Jun 11 2008 10:39 pm by Din replying to Dreambliss Thanks :) If I were struck by lightning while swimming in the Arctic Ocean, I think the heat of the lightning would be the only thing keeping my nuts from strangling me to death :( Yes, clones rocks on lead >:) Jun 10 2008 11:08 pm by Dreambliss I love how your music is so relaxing yet drives a huge rush of energy through my veins at the same time. It's like I've been struck by lightning while swimming in the Arctic Ocean. It seems impossible - but you pull it off. And hats off to clones for the guitar work in this piece, it fits perfectly with the madness that is Din! May 17 2008 12:33 am by Din Thank you, gents :D May 16 2008 6:12 pm by welmu I dont know how to take this, this is art, this is so enjoyable music.. thanks.

Prophetic words to be sure ;) May 12 2008 12:39 pm by Din replying to soem_aeld Yay :D May 12 2008 12:38 pm by Din replying to Space Walk I love playing rhythm parts. Must be from all those years of baritone saxophone and rhythm guitar. Thank you, Master Space :D May 12 2008 12:38 pm by Din replying to Spectra Nice and detailed :D Yeah, the mood is fairly constant throughout, but 'nihilism' itself isn't a dynamic concept and despite my best efforts, the single modulation/transposition is the only thing I could come up with that didn't sound wrong. I'm actually going to try another version of this, hopefully keeping the dark feel and going even darker. I may be able to explore greater music complexity there. Thank you for listening :D May 11 2008 4:50 pm by orkabot very soundtrack oriented. this has a very progressive-industrial mood to it. good jorb with collaborating. more collabo's need to happen in this place. May 11 2008 4:11 pm by hanhis I can't help myself, but I must say this, Red Alert. In a good way. Guitar fits perfectly in, you two should work more often together ! =) May 11 2008 2:31 pm by soem_aeld Sounds a bit like Tool, sounds a bit like all I ever want to sound like when I make heavier stuff, sounds AWESOME! Great! May 11 2008 12:59 am by Spectra Din, what can I say you are a master of drum echoes...I swear you could do Goa in a heartbeat with those skills. Those flat metallic cymbals you use (homemade?) also add a good sense of metal-like "crunch" to the song and the drums in general, despite being slow, have enough "crunching" momentum that I could easily run 10K races to this song. Also, the kind of lonely dark piano feel around 1:53 is refreshingly creepy...the solo around 2:22, though not technically complex, has some great use of bends and vibrato that give it a very smooth, expressive, and human feel (nice job Clones!) The victorious chord feel at 3:04 is also very deep and interesting...almost seems to say "you are not in darkness or light...but BOTH". From 3:04-4:14 this almost has an electronic symphony feel...astoundingly good sound engineering here. My real gripe is this song can ultimately be reduced to about 3 chords...and the mood therefore has a certain element of "duh" about it. The dramatic change of the timbre of instruments at 3:04 alleviates some of this predictability...but ultimately there's only so much even a semi-pro sound engineer can do to make up for the lack of second and third melodies (I still would highly recommend a song have at least 2 preferrably 3 unique melodies / melodic parts and 3 distinct chord progressions). ---------------------------------------------------- We all know Din can make his synths crunch and squeal up to stuff with the best producers on TIS...but I'm still hoping more effort gets applied to the tonal and mood depth of Din's future releases. May 11 2008 12:51 am by Din I'll type up some boring production details, too :D May 11 2008 12:50 am by Din replying to clones I like what *you* did with the guitar ;) All I had to do was set it in place and make sure it wasn't covered up. May 11 2008 12:49 am by Din replying to zaphoid Thanks :D May 11 2008 12:49 am by Space Walk How did you become so good at low-freq stuff and especially Basslines? The drum work in this one really sounds epic and even feels majestic when accompanied by those mystic-spiced chords. While not ambient in it's nature, it is one of the leading industrials. You have a great way with expanding every instrument and giving each a kingdom of sounds. May 11 2008 12:34 am by clones And I must say it was an honor to work with you - I do admire your music and production skill as well. Thanks Din! May 11 2008 12:05 am by clones replying to Din please do put up details - I enjoyed very much reading the info for don't look down. May 11 2008 12:02 am by clones I like what you did with the guitar - you got the most out it. I like the changes you made to the song - the expanded break and strings are very nice. May 10 2008 11:55 pm by zaphoid This song kicks the lama's ass across the universe. I love the Guitar and the Epic movements of the track. May 10 2008 11:54 pm by clones ok... for my part - fender mustang guitar driven by ebow through a mxr distortion direct into the line in of the laptop into Sonar 2.2 - pretty simple. May 10 2008 11:44 pm by Cortoh Hasur replying to Din Well, a little breakdown is always welcome. Especially for those who might consider some collab work. And, remembering your last doc about "Don't Look Down", this one'd be quite interesting anyway so.. yes, if you feel like it, I say go for it. May 10 2008 11:35 pm by Din replying to Cortoh Hasur Thanks :D Maybe I should update the details on this one as well ;) May 10 2008 11:33 pm by Cortoh Hasur Nope, streaming is pretty good. And the track rocks! I don't know about the previous version, but all I can say is this one is heavy and solid! "Nihilism", uh.. This has written "lethal weapon. Handle with care" all over. Oh yes, perfect title! Great work, great tune! May 10 2008 11:26 pm by Din All right :D Online play doesn't suck too bad.
