Look what I made! / My first songs - please evaluate
« on: July 11, 2021, 09:35:00 »
Hey :-)
I am Krissie from Germany. Although my first tracker experience was in the Nineties with my Amiga 500, I haven't continued twenty years - till last year, with MilkyTracker on Ubuntu Linux.
Here are the XM-Files
https://archive.org/download/butthereisaway
Here as a Bandcamp
https://butthereisaway.bandcamp.com/
One criticism I got could need further technical advice: the quality of the vocals. I just used my smartphone to record my voice, and I guess, I had trouble to get the voice to the volume, I wanted, so there are often two tracks with the vocal samples. Do you have same tipps for me?
About the songs
(1) Song for a ZeroCovid Strategy (zc2.xm)
This song was originally created with guitar. Genre is Rock with wave elements.
(2) General Strike (gs.xm)
This song is noise. But I loved it. The main sample (2) is a feedback noise sound. Genre: Hardcore Punk(?).
(3) Munchhausen (mh.xm)
A cover of a Seventies chanson. This one needs in fact better vocals quality and a better tuning of used samples. You can't find it at the bandcamp.
(4) Theorie (methode.xm)
Techno. The idea was to make some dialectics with three vocal samples.
(5) hōs en allō kosmō, „wie in einer anderen Welt“ (signallost3.xm)
An older piano playing by me, as a 6-min-sample, going to the tracks, where other instruments are added. This was an experiment, that failed somehow. And it was a fight with synchronicity. And at the end, the effect of the added instruments was not very impressively.
(6) Don't Donald don't Spiderman
This was just a funny attempt with only one vocal sample, punky guitars and a wavy instrumental refrain part. No further comment needed.
(7) "Don't be blinded by the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel"
The title was a CNN headline. It was a playing with cutting synth samples and let them play another kind of music.
(8.) You just ignore the material conditions
Another attempt with singing a whole song, with especially low quality. No further comment needed. It's just archived there.
(9) Trans*revolution (trans.xm)
This attempt of singing a whole song is my favorite at the time. It's a genre crossover with hard synth sounds.
(1), (2) and (7) I tried to upload at modarchive, without success. (9) would be a candidate to make another attempt, I think.
But first I would like to know your meanings.
Much regards,
Krissie
