.Pollution.

"Esthetic mess."

submission: .Pollution.
date: October 16, 2006

Matrix much? The only excuse is better music.

Ok, we have one guy, with dark glases, a tenchcoat, military style boats, sorrounded by POORLY trained soldiers, wow! How is he EVER going to escape? Wait, what's that he's holding? He dices them stylishly with a SAMURAI SWORD?! That's right, not his fists, not an object off the street, no sir, nothing pedestrian or the matrix; we're using a whole new dimension here!

I can tell you listened to the songs and thought, "Damn, I'm thinking up so many awesome things here, he flies around dicing soldiers, and in the end, he dies by breathing the air. Undefined heros/villians never die like that!"

Anyways, interesting little splay into graphics.

Air Skirmish

"Nice one."

submission: Air Skirmish
date: March 11, 2006

Despite some inaccuracies (Carries get their own fleets, not go out on their own), (Jets have radar that picks up both ground and air targets, as does the carrier fleet, who can pick out targets before they even leave the ground), (If the fuel chamber was punctured, the fuel would leak out, the combustion engine would ignite the fuel and the plane would explode midair).

The whole experience reminded me of Jane's F/A 18, which is a pretty awesome game.

Author's Response:

Oh yea I've played that game, clearly a long time ago because I don't know jack about what I was animating - as you pointed out hehe. You're the first to point out the single carrier thing, I didn't know that, so thanks for that. Cheers for the review!

"Hahaha."

date: October 8, 2005

It's not the best thing in the world, but you're getting some skill in this and it actually made me chuckle.

Anxious to see what's next from you.

-=LJC=- Grinsomnia

"snaresnaresnare"

submission: -=LJC=- Grinsomnia
date: March 7, 2008

Straightforward, clear, well developed, thought out and executed.

Honestly, I'm more for structurally sound and morphed beats, but that's only through personal preference and constant experimentation. The whole "map a snare and change its pitch and properties" a la Venetian Snares/Hvartski/what have you seems rather... easy? Although I can condone it to accentuate frustration in any song, and the extent and sweat one uses to butcher a beat, then reanimate it into something else is admirable.

But beat making in this particular situation is quite pleasant against the piano, I can also tell you crumbled some filtered beats in for a nice boom.

The piano itself tries to elaborate on itself, or the atmosphere, but it seems rather independent to what's going on at times.

nice work

Author's Response:

ErkiE! I completely understand your comments - as far as mangling a few beats go, it is easy - sort of. No more than any other percussion though. I always like hearing from you - it usually seems like there's an underlying sense of honesty in your comments and I think that's great.

Thanks again!

apeman

"Goes down smooth"

submission: apeman
date: March 7, 2008

The rather light minimalist beat with the dancing vox compliments that oh so familiar sax mid song. I do have to agree that although its "flatness" is charming alone, coming from you, it sounds like a base for a lot of interesting variations in the near future.

Let me know when the finished version is out. cheers.

Khuskan - Jazz Hands

"lol"

date: July 20, 2007

I think what ExtraF means is, the song is smooth and damn nice, but the positioning of the taps makes the song disjointed. I think it'd be just fine without the taps.

Me, I'm just ignoring it as I listen to it over and over.
