Ableton Forum

Hey guys,

My musical cohort and I have finally finished up some tracks that we are happy with after two years of starting out and scrapping repeatedly (finishing things feels good don't it?)

I would be really interested to hear some of your thoughts on a couple of tracks we have posted online - a remix and a track off our first (finished) EP. They are free and available to stream or download from the usual places (bandcamp, soundcloud - bandcamp is great for downloads, get em in FLAC!). You will probably like the awesome artwork our good friend TwoDucksDisco worked up for us if nothing else.

I make fairly heavy use of Live in our production workflow having discovered it in version 5 - not for arrangement mind you, mainly sound design and synth layering. The arrangement itself is done in Logic.

We call ourselves 'Big Mister Doom' are based in Leeds UK and are influenced by all sorts of electronic and not so electronic music - telefon tel aviv, baths, flying lotus, eskmon are all currently in the disc changer but I can't even being to list everything we enjoy...

Anyways I hope the tracks speak for themselves. I would be really interested to hear some of your opinions - I have been lurking around the board for a fair while now (without posting too much admittedly)

ALSO I have recently taken an interest in and have started performing live / DJ'ing. There are a couple of mixes on soundcloud that are again free and I would be interested to hear your thoughts on those - they are a combination of DJ set and live glitch performance - All totally rooted in Ableton. We use one laptop with two launchpads, a BCR2000, Pad Kontrol and nocturn running out four sound sources into a standard two channel mixer. I can explain that stuff in more detail if anyone is interested - it's quite an interesting live set.

Well have a listen and let us know what you reckon - I am really interested to get some fellow producers feedback across the board. The rest of the EP is being mastered now and will be hitting online sometime soon, again it will be free.

Happy listening and thanks for reading!

I haven't checked your mixes (yet) but I'm digging the singles; the Judas remix has a really nice Modeselektor thing going, Avant has a great mixture of chill & glitchy.

Thanks for the FLAC downloads, but I would pay attention to your filenames. Your "Avant" flac file has no reference to your group name; the other one downloaded as "Eskimo%20Twins%20-%20Judas%20%28Big%20Mister%20Doom%20Remix%29.flac". I throw all kinds of downloads in a folder to sort later and with my method I would never know who's track this is. Just a thought. Anyway, you two have a great sound going, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words docprosper....

I will certainly look into the file names on Bandcamp thanks for the heads up - I believe that the site has added a load of characters into the file names.

When the rest of the EP comes back from mastering & duplication I will get in touch and send you a copy out.

love it man,
super nice work,
cheers,

edit: with the filenames just take the blank spaces out, i think html puts %20 in when it gets a blank space in an address,,

or maybe try "_"?

I favorited "Avant" and really liked your "Judas" remix. Thank you for the free music!

Thanks for the positive feedback folks - Can't wait to get the rest of this EP finished up to share with the world. I am going to edit those file names this evening... Band name - track name - with _ in the spaces. thanks for that folks.

really good stuff,sounds very polished if that is the right word; it all comes together really well.

Thanks a_melodic71, I just checked out your stuff - some nice tracks in there... nice vocal sample in PACINOdENIROS. Where is that from?
