Thanks! I noticed something rather strange about this project and that is you are wearing white socks with black clothing.

This is one hell of a jam packed project.
Theres a lot going on here and it's amazing how quickly you put this together.
The music itself is exceptional, the video breathes new life into the imagry of that bizzarre site and nice touch using some sounds from the site! I also like that you included some of the the orginal noises and that otherworldly pad from meet shaye.
As you may know Poor Shaye did meet his demise:
Age 42, at a Palm Springs hospital from alcoholism-induced internal bleeding.

Yes of course. This project forced me to think about some lifestyle decisions actually.

After my album project of Instant Gratification, which I think glorifies the exhilaration of being in a rabbit hole, maybe it is time for me to explore some real serious consequences of being in a rabbit hole.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd say nine hours production, one hour setting up arrangement, one hour doing video editing, another hour uploading while listening and drinking a Bloody Mary (mix and vodka coincidentally brought home by my girlfriend - wasn't my idea!).

Some day you will show us how you do that video, but then you will have to kill us.

The sound is awesome. I'd go see a live show if it came to town.

Thanks! Finally used the ZFO-2 in this project modulating a FM-4 operator in the riff that plays from the start as well as modulating one of the character faders in a NI Kinetic Metal layer. Great!

Both of you guys always seem to come up with some really interesting sounds that make my ears perk up.

It's a busy mix but I think it works.

I always appreciate something different. Keep at it :thumbs_up:

this is a solid techno track and a nice effect on the video. it might be my "monitors" (cough...) but i feel that the sub bass area might be a bit underrepresented.

Thanks! Teflon Tomb aka modecca is far better at sound design than I am. I come from a hip hop background mind you and I just have a selective ear as I decide what will sound good to me in a given context aka preset tweaker / sampler.

Thanks! Yeah...about those invisible monitors I have...I would drive everybody crazy with my twelve hour one shot sessions! I have a Focusrite VRM Box and iZotope Tonal Balance Control + EQ reference matching. I felt the kick with a reverb send covered the sub range and then I had a higher octave polyphonic sine wave bass. I know some techno has a lighter kick with lower bass but I prefer the kick being deeper. Maybe my thinking is flawed though...who knows.

im actually af friend of the subbier kicks you like myself. maybe its not in the kick itself, but in the other elements. i dont like to highpass everything but the dedicated bass section, but leave a bit of low/sub content on the higher elements too, to give the music a bit heavier feeling overall. this criticism is only true about your music if my monitors "cough again" represented it well to me at all - i might be wrong

Ah I see what you mean. I will have to look deeper into this. My struggle with retaining the lows is I generally show up to be heavy in the muddy low mid range as it is but maybe dipping with a wide q in this range would be the better option vs a simple high pass. Thanks for your thoughts.

Well I guess there goes my Modecca = Peter Lansford = everyone else on this forum theory LOL

Anyway, some excellent work here sound design wise with a lot of interesting stuff going on. Love the pounding kick, and the sort of on-the-fly arrangement style also works well as it gives the track a spontaneous/live feel. If I could give some constructive criticism: the track is very dense, there's a lot going on all the time so you might consider momentarily stripping down the track here and there, to give some of the individual sounds a moment "in the spotlight" so to speak.
