Care For Another?

It's that time of year again- the days are getting shorter, the skies are getting cloudier, and weoggers everywhere are releasing their latest songs onto the internet. I've never been one to buck a trend, so hopefully this'll be good enough to keep me in the club:

It's Come To This

This track is the most recent step in my continuing struggle to define "my sound." The goal is to combine the elements I like most from my favorite genres into something new- or at least newish. Specifically, I'm trying to blend:

• The atmosphere and aggression of Drum 'n Bass


• the sub from Dub Step


• the technical attention to detail of IDM, and


• the melodic and harmonic sensibilities of plain old "good music."

I'm also trying to develop an interplay between half-time tempos and more frenetic double-time rhythms, for what it's worth. The result this time falls into the same category as my older track "Process of Illumination," but hopefully takes the ideas in an interesting new direction. Or maybe I completely failed! Either way, there are a lot of things I like (and a few I'm not so sure about, as usual) in this one, and I'd love to hear any feedback or criticism you might have. As long as it's positively glowing, of course ;).

In other news, I submitted a CD of my tracks-up-to-this-point to the licensing company Pump Audio, so we'll see if they think my work is appropriate for the next big Colgate ad or something.

Until next time!

P.S. Most of my songs (but this one in particular) really need decent speakers to be heard properly- there's a lot going on in the sub-100Hz frequencies that smaller speakers just can't reproduce. Just so ya know.
