New Electronica track & Vid - Inspired by Boards of Canada

Post by mozzatron » Thu Oct 04, 2012 4:42 am

After listening to Boards of Canada all weekend i felt inspired to make some kind of emotive & twisted electronica, which is the first time i've attempted to produce this kind of music.

It turned out a little darker and more twisted than i originally planned, and the video certainly takes it to a whole new level. It even trips me out a little!

I'd be interested to get some feedback as this is the first time i've attempted to make this genre.

I know it's probably a bit too long, but i actually played all the parts live after putting them together in session view. This was the original take with no changes made to it. To be honest i really enjoyed doing it this way which was a first for me, i really got in the zone and let the music guide itself rather than spending far too long deliberating what should go where in arrangement view.

This is unreal. The main downfall I experience (I'm relatively new to Ableton) is not being able to get into that zone, where your subconscious takes over and you just have the freedom to mess around and tweak everything on the spot, due to having to stop, edit a sample, cutting and pasting and all that other nonsense. Personally I love a song that has no real discernable verse or chorus and just flows and flows. I feel like the session view will do me good for being able to produce this way. Anyways, I'm a huge BOC fan and I really enjoy this track and you can totally feel that flow you were going for. Nice job my friend.
