recommendations. Huge ups to these guys, seriously.

Gonna listen to HCE too, I love Finnegans Wake and this should be a treat

>>74128825
can't tell how much of this is just entirely ripped from the original; either way, it doesn't strike me as very creative sampling, would try altering the samples more

>>74128825
When I'm listening to a vaporwave release posted on the web I can't say if it's Svccy or somebody else.
Your music, to me, is still lacking YOUR identity. To make it somehow distinguishable from the rest. Not like I'm an expert on this genre or anything. But if your release can't make me change my mind upon vaporwave then I feel that nothing can't. The mixing seems very weird to me. It has this "vacuum" like feeling to it, especially while listening through the headphones. But I don't know, people will probably jump on this ship. I think I'm going to avoid buying a ticket.

>>74128942
I tried to make different album with clarinet solo play by me something DIFFERENT but the vaporwave comunity don't like it ... they want shitty sampled stuf...

No, it's really not. It's still vaporwave. You just make one less sample to it. But hey, that's just my opinion.

>>74129019

Okay, here are some ""legit"" """reviews"""! Warning - do not put feelings into these words. We are all amateurs after all.

>>74129834
Screams generic but it ain't too bad. Just generic. Although it's a demo so I do hope you'll change some things here and there later on.

>>74129791
This sort of album blows all my red alarms out of the proportion. Because OF COURSE the cover art is ugly, OF COURSE these have to be 1-2 minute tracks and OF COURSE there are no lyrics 'cause fuck you potential listener, you should understand what I'm blabbering about. Shame. To be honest I do not feel either shocked nor interested to go though this thing. It goes to the territories of "cringe" and I do feel like you put some heart into this (I do hope so at least). This thing ain't for me. And it has been done but others multiple times, almost to the point of being a meme.

>>74130071
I do feel somewhat indifferent about this. I do feel like a lot more could be done in terms of lyrics and instrumentation. Beats are sticking out way too much for me (again - the lack of instrumentation isn't helping here). Do appreciate your voice though, it's not too shabby. But, as of now, I'm not looking forward to your new song. Way too generic at the moment.

>>74130288
It's vidia music. Nothing big, nothing grand, just vidia music. I guess everything seems to be alright although I do feel that the mixing is tiny bit bloated. Also, although I can be sympathetic towards one's emotions, I do feel like this release lacks any sort of emotional punch. And I do feel this whole thing is a bit sterile which is great for soundtracking things but doesn't end up so well on an independent album release.

interesting stuff! At first i was a bit put off by the somewhat nasal vocals, but i got used to it quickly. Very impressive that you made this on your own, keep it up

https://susurrousmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-new-nothing

Here's mine. Bit of everything, leaning towards synthpop/post-punk stuff. Would appreciate some feedback and I'll stick around to give some as well :)

>>74130494
All due respect for contributing, but its hard to get much out of these "reviews" that are basically just saying you don't like it and being critical, particularly when you don't put your own music on the line. If you're not going to post anything of your own it just feels like you're a heckler from the gallery, not a participant actually sharing something

>>74130776
But I did shared my stuff. Would be pretty weird if I hadn't, agreed >>74128744

>>74130776
He did post his own music - and I think they're perfectly decent, what else did you want, just praise?

>>74130776
And yeah, quotations on the word "review" is pretty important - it is to indicate that they are not exactly that. Would probably say first impressions but that's just rolling off of the tongue. Additionally, I do strongly believe in conversation. If you feel like I've gave you a bad rap - tell me so, I'll elaborate on some points, you can provide some defenses for your own position. Just stick out of name-calling, will you? It will only work bad for one party.

>>74129791
C'mon man, you can do better than that. A song like 'best friend' seems to suggest that you have the skill to write a good melody and perhaps some decent songs, but it sounds like you're just not putting in the effort most of the time. And purposefully making your music sound 'lo-fi' doesn't make it any better when the songs just aren't that good.

>>74130518
Some songs (Amber She Dreamt in particular) are very good with some interesting guitar work, but others (Deep Maple) just don't have much going for them musically. Overall you did a good job capturing that 80's post-punk vibe, however, the vocals weren't all that great (I guess with Ian Curtis that's also a part of the 80's post punk vibe though, lol). Still an ok listen and I like the album art!

>>74130800
>>74130807

Gotcha, I don't check usernames. Honestly I agree with some of your points for all those posts but you really tore some of those guys a new one lol. Maybe I'm just white knighting and they're adults who don't mind, but it seems excessive to just lay into people without praising their better qualities.

I know no one's a kid here, but it's the same philosophy of just nurturing creativity I would follow with kids. You can point out what they did well while still criticizing. And it is probably more effective that way. Like it's hard to imagine >>74129791 has anything to directly take from feedback like their music is blabbery and cringeworthy. I agree their release could use more effort, but you see my point right? That's just my 2 cents.

I have a lot of respect for non-sample based vaporwave (I guess it's not vaporwave then but yeah). This is really nice, reminds me of that 2814 album Birth of a New Day. You've certainly got a fan.

This was cute but ultimately it didn't do anything with me. Granted this is not my style of preferred music but still. It just flowed along and I basically rarely even noticed it. Sometimes it got a bit on my nerves, though.

>>74131389
While I agree with you on the point that I might un-nurturing their creativity by providing my feedback I cannot stress this enough - there has to be a sore thumb in all of this. I strongly believe that you can express yourself regarding of the critique but when you put something out and share it with the crowd you should expect some harsh things thrown at you. I hate just forcing myself to say positive things when I see none. I hate being dishonest like that. So, in that case, I just say what's on my mind and what I feel is right and center in front of me, the way I'm seeing things. Sure, it can be supervised and polished and more consumable so it wouldn't rip somebody another hole in a body but it's all pointless. When it's bad - it's bad. Plain and simple. And it has to be pointed out in order to provide somebody a consideration of "maybe I should change this or that". As to the fellow - blabbering is important to the context since I can't understand half of what he's saying AND he didn't provided any lyrics to the tracks. If he have done that I would probably not mention it - I tend to blabber a lot with my singer-songwriter tries. And to the cringe factor - take a listen and tell me am I wrong in thinking that it is unpurposely cringey. To me - fuck yes it is!

>>74130752
you should be arrested and prosecuted for creating this

>>74131985
Ever heard of constructive criticism, jackass? You can dislike/hate the music for all I care, but we're all just amateurs with a hobby, no need for hostility

https://etherealtalks.bandcamp.com/album/old-collars-stuff

To be honest these tracks are here from the far 2009. The time when I lived in a small town and tried to find my actual sound. The most influental records for me were made by Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Einsturzende Neubaunten on the one hand and by Aphex Twin, Autechre, Venetian Snares on the other. Of course I realised that couldn't make anything similiar to the favourite artists. So, I started to experiment with my music. That's how MushroomWavved Collar appeared ;)
The album has 6 bonus tracks (so called secret part) and I recommend to download the whole item to give it a try.
In a few words, these tracks are too different to the main part. It sounds more like instrumental hip-hop with a crushing ending in the final two dissociative house tracks.

> Lo-fi, breakcore, noise, atmospheric

>>74132054
Yeah, but in this particular case it actually is so bad that hostility is the only viable response.

>>74129791
>>74131389
the 2nd track on that album is literally just pitched shifted voice of him reading the opening lines of The Stranger. That's just complete garbage and there's no other way to characterize.

>>74130752
I'm sorry but this is one of the least listenable "singer songwriter" projects I've heard on here. There are't many redeeming qualities. Songwriting is basically non-existent, there are sometimes a moment where it seems like a melody will peak through but never does - which is probably the most frustrating part of this listen. And for all's sake, please learn how to sing before you post this in public.

appreciate you listening!

>>74131396
I'm impressed by your lyrics. The storytelling is entertaining and the rhymes sound very natural and unforced (something I struggle with) I like your songwriting as well. It's the kind of thing that you could produce and put arrangements around, OR just leave it bare, and that's a good thing!
That said, your vocals are lousy. I'm a big fan of David Berman (silver jews) who is by no means a good singer, but he makes it work. The key being confidence. No matter what your singing ability, if you sing it confidently it'll work - and you definitely sound reserved sometimes, or self conscious. Play it up! Really project your vocals, forget everything else exists while you record your vocals, and exaggerate a little. Remember, the listener can only hear your voice. You gotta compensate for that. It may sound ridiculous to you, but to everyone else it'll sound more natural

>>74128992
So I got excited when I saw this because clarinet was my first instrument and still is my main instrument. I like what you're doing and I like your concept of using future funk as a style but not relying on samples. The bad news is that your sampled stuff is probably better. The big things that stick out to me are the 80s keyboard synth sounds, whatever you used. They sound a little stock and lifeless (and not in the good plastic vaporwavey way). Maybe try a faster attack time on the keys to emphasize the rhythms and make for a more driving feel

When it comes to your clarinet solos, you've got a nice tone, but you almost exclusively stick to a single major scale which ends up sounding a little awkward in some cases. Try to use some more colour notes (blues tones) and try to use non pentatonic notes as passing tones rather than landing on them. as well, try to rhythmically mix up your imrpov, it sounds a little white

>>74133184
(cont from this because I hit the character limit)

>>74129216
dude I love this! It perfectly captures the vibe that you're looking for. The recording job on the drums sounds particularly solid. I will say that the song kinda sits on those three chords the whole time which is a pet peeve of mine with indie rock - try adding a little variation with the structure to make it feel like more happens in your song. You're stretching out a two and a half minute song into a four and a half minute song, and toward the end you start to feel it.

>>74128743 here

The vocals are strong, the production is strong - there's a nice airyness to everything - which is good and bad, I think the acoustic guitar and the drums a bit too wet sounding. The songs themselves definitely show potential... though they are all lacking a bit dynamically and in terms of momentum. You sound like a real band though, with some interesting soundscapes going on - just need some refining and some more play structurally. I like Black Light a lot, it sounds like Wild Horses slightly
