It depends of what type of noise music you like, if you hate noise, then it doesn't even matter

we havent even finished our first album yet but with the plans we have, theres a pretty clear, mostly linear path of improvement, which is exciting for me at least

Pretty subjective. IMHO I'm way, WAY worse compared to the few previous releases. Others will disagree. Either way, nobody cares.

worse?

I'd say extremely. Since I self produce I say in regards to production quietly and song writing I think I'm only getting better. Hope this is true in the real world and not just my mind.

Do you like old men? They like us. This is the newest, from the group Clyp. It was recorded outside a band members apartment sometime in mid June of this year, and is a straight raw recording of this nice old geezer who came up to us and asked to play our guitars, we were soon in awe of his rhythmic ability and general air of swagger. We then asked if we could record him, he agreed with haste...so enjoy : Georgie Plays The Greats!

Q:
A: I dont think its improved in any way other than that its more diverse. My early stuff I think has broader appeal. I spend a lot less time on tracks now. Usually I whip something out in a few hours in one sitting. On my early 2010-2013 stuff I would spend months on a guitar part I liked and then build arrangements around it. I think I cant play guitar as well anymore because I spend less time with it too.

Yes, production wise especially.

Ohh, I get the joke - it's so silent it's almost avantgarde in it's execution! Extreme swag. Would not listen again/10.
Jonathan Thompson
its just supposed to be fun you can try bumping up the volume
Evan Gray
Why should I make an effort if you can't make one? Seems counterproductive at best...
Still waiting for that magnum opus tho.
Jaxon Lewis
thats just how it was recorded didn't wanna fuck with it, and check our release schedule. some big names coming in on the june release of next year
Isaiah Diaz
in addition to the question but unrelated to this work. my band will probably never be as good as our first tape. as it was so personal and powerful as a dynamics between our bandmates because of the points in our lives. just jamming in out basement drinking and doing drugs. we might make something more musically or sonically concise but I think theres an eneregy that would never be recaptured.
Connor Walker
im going to retire from the threads for a little, will be doing life stuff and working on some music maybe. i feel bad for alienating what little fans i had from the rock/ambient stuff and just going off to a complete different style, but oh well. one day i'll make another rock album, for now i'll be venturing off elsewhere.

Isaac Flores
I have to agree with Aer here. I can't really listen to your album because I just can't set the volume high enough to make it sound like an acoustic guitar recording and not lowercase
Camden Howard
maybe itll be a hit if i just bump up the vol..need new income my investments have been unwise

I don't really know what to write to this thread, I'm stuck listening to early Epiglottis albums since he said he used to be better than now
Luis Campbell
To clarify - I would say that I was better at the beginning of this year than I am right now.
Jaxon Clark
Iunno, Seasongs is just perfectly textured for me
May I ask how did you achieve the sound or what are the source audios that you looped?

Glad you liked it. Honestly I do believe that this could be done it better and the general audience of people didn't liked it in the live setting so I feel like this is more of a fail. I'm still fighting for it to become my natural live setup for any (im)possible live shows but whatever.
How I "achieved" this sound was basically an experimentation. I used the same system I used for Removal only now I've added additional elements to the mix (mostly compression and EQs for each of the looped tracks). Basically the process went like this - got myself up to three loops for each track, roughly around 8-10 seconds in length. For each track I made one to be on tape and the rest were digital. Then I pitched them so they would get a tiny bit longer and lower so they would be combined together more easily. Then they went through the system of reverbs+delays+compressions so they would sound kind of muffled. As the track were progressing I, in real time, started to fuck around with reverbs and delays, applying some noise and pitch corrections (for example - on the first track one loop starts to degrade because of the heavy pitch correction to the note in the different octave so it sounds like it is disrupting itself in a way, always unable to reach that pitch). Made them play until I feel it's enough. Hence and repeat the whole process.
As to audio sources - I would say 60% of the loops were piano loops which I've recorded myself. There is a loop on the second track of the grasshoppers which I "noised" up a bit. The choral part on the third track came from old recordings of the Orthodoxy chant (would have to double check the title of it; mostly because I've used the part with no words in it). To some - I wouldn't like to share all of the secrets so some of the source audios I want to make ambiguous.

been sitting on most of these tracks for a year or so, may as well give them away
>improved or become worse since my first album
this is my first album under this pseudonym, but i've improved pretty steadily in terms of production skill and creativity, less so regarding output.

Since my first album i'll actually turn down songs instead of 'get to 40 minutes of material and say DONE'

>improved or worse
I personally think improved but my sound and aims have evolved so I'm sure some people who might come across it would say it's gotten worse.
Jayden Turner
I'm not a fan at all of hyper-sidechained-supersawshit but you've definitely got the sound and composition of it down. Just need to practice with mixing/mastering.
Blake Russell
It doesn't have anything to do with black metal, Burzum, not even fucking dark ambient
All I heard was the worst type of midicore, with clipping audio, dissonant boring melodies, trash sound. It all sounds like it was made with a 5 dollar keyboard.
It's nothing but senseless random sounds the average 10 year-old puts on Soundcloud and calls it "idk song i made in fl studio xd"
Andrew Turner
Oh boy, this tape/effect fuckery definitely did your sound a justice
Make more of this

Anthony Jackson
unfortunately suffers from especially amateurish mixing and production that make some moments really shrill and tough to listen to. oftentimes the drums and guitar are annoyingly off-tempo. the song "four interlude" is a pretty annoying cut, being that it's essentially a non-idea stretched out for about two minutes. overall i get the sense that there aren't any substantial musical ideas worth returning to on the whole ep, and the ideas that do stick out are immediately negated by how poorly they're produced. this doesn't really have much potential.
has good ideas on paper. blending rural folk and psych that progress at a glacial pace and stuttering drones slumber in the background. the tone is similar to that of a newer earth record (the bees made honey in the lion's skull) with a stronger emphasis on the drones and psych. in practice, however, the lo-fi production and lack of attention to proper mixing creates similar setbacks as they did in the project above. regardless, i still love the interesting use of tape loops and instrumentation. i would invest in better materials to record/perform with.
has a refreshingly clean production that still maintains somewhat of a bedroom aesthetic. the songwriting is varied and detailed enough to justify the song lengths, and the varying melodic patterns of the vocalist combine with competent songwriting to make for some interesting tracks. at worst the songs feel campy and wallow a bit to heavily in the low-key teenage angst even for an emo record, at best the instrumentation and tight performances are impassioned and memorable. whether it's unique enough to stand out in the indie-rock landscape is another different story. but i would be perfectly happy returning to this ep, and i recommend it.
is pretty solid stuff. the musicianship is clearly there. the production is smooth. i think most people would be turned off by how heavily it straddles typical shoegaze cliches.

occasionally harks back to the golden era of royal trux, albeit with much less creativity and layering. most of the compositions are feature a pretty small amount of instruments. with more money and perhaps more inspiration this project could go somewhere, but for now it does little to step outside the sterile landscape of "experimental" bandcamp-core.
and that's all i'm giving feedback on today guys. thanks for providing your work for me to listen to! love you all smooch smooch

This is fun and weird, not much to say but keep doing what you're doing. Not big on the distorted vocals, but i'll keep on listening.
