We were fiddling arround quite a while last night with the intention to finish this piece. We kind of sorted Rasa's vocals and made a proper ending. Still this piece is more like a journey through different impressions. (Updated 24. June 2007)
After quite a time of concentrating on our own stuff for our auditions we started to do some programming together again. We actually have our first piece here as well and it is still a Demo Version which is not finished, but somehow we felt that it was time to make a new piece, even we might work on the other piece in a couple of days again. I had started making a groove on my own, by using an IDM kit, that is where the title comes from because it actually is no IDM. Especially in the beginning it sounds quite housie, actually the first piece I made that one can put in this genre. In this production we spended more time in creating our own sounds, or really working on the sounds. In this piece we used one of our self sampled snare drums the first time. The industrial sounds in the beginning are made out of a simple egg/shaker sample.
This is one of the first pieces were I worked with tempo changes. Don't complain about the ending, it just stops, we did not work on it, but I thought I post it now to get some constructive critisism while I'm working on the piece. Because when a production is finished I often can't be bothered to take them into account.

I added a new part at the end, including pizzed Cello that I recorded and some new Sounds I made. I just listened to this new part again and I think it still needs some more work. I want to record more Cello, to make the part more interesting and I have to EQ some of the percussions, the Cello and some of the new sounds. Especially the Cello is a bit bass heavy now and some of my own sounds are to strong in the mid area.
I also want to add female Vocals to the whole piece, but I did not write anny lyrics yet. Therefore I asked a friend if she would sing in this song and I hope we are going to record the vocals in a couple of days.

Yasu and me did some programing and recording for the house file the other night. Even though I did not manage to upload it yet cause I have to do a bit of editing before. We added some vocals and were experimenting with a vocoder, in the next update will be also a new Snare Drum track at the end.
We spended a couple of hours in creating noise samples with different colours, which will be used like drums, to make the part with the vocals more interesting.
The update will probably come tomorrow.

Here is the newest update with the new Vocal/Vocoder part and the new snare and noise at the end. The parts are still not worked out and we want to add as well some female vocals as some new pizzicato Cello at the end. Also some panning automation will be done in the next days. Hope you do not mind the ending, it still just stops.

middle of June and still not finished, I know we are morans, working to much on a view different productions, also for our assessments....
10 days left and then Yasu is going back to Japan, we need to hurry if we wanna get the pieces finished before...!!!

So we finally managed to get together again, even Yasu was quite busy with different projects. Also we had started a new one which we have been spending some time on. Last night we were mainly trying to get Rasa's vocals we recorded quite a while ago to fit into the production. Also we made a kind of proper ending, so the piece does not just stop anymore. Still.... we are not 100% sure about if the way it is made leaves the right final impression on the piece. We would very much appreciate any feedbacks, and most importantly, any suggestions for a title that will fit the piece.
