So yeeaaaaah, I just finished a new thing to go with my self-named stuff:

Astral

It's a re-vamped version of an idea I started years ago but never finished. My friend seemed to really like it back then, so I decided to finish it as a sort of 'gift' to him, though I have always wanted to finish it myself.

It's nothing special. Just an ambient kinda thing written/produced on my computer, not really sure what genre it would classify as. Give it a listen if you're bothered at all

Bit repetitive but neat. Great pads and glitchy low-fi ending is pretty awesome too.

Yeah it is quite repetitive, but I always think ambient stuff kinda needs to be to some extent. I don't think it's really a track that'd be good to sit down and be entertained by, more just to have in the background or fall asleep to or something.

But thanks for the listen/comment/compliment

Ostur sounds killer, congratulations.

^ Thanks. Got some new metal stuff that shouldn't be far from done now too, but with better production and some sort of actual song-writing effort. So hopefully you (and others) will like that.

Nothin' special, but hopefully not the worst thing you'll ever hear.

Also on SoundCloud, Facebook and BandCamp (free high quality downloads, if you want one...)

Decided to upload an old, super-rough demo version of a track I've had lying around for a while from a metal project (another one?!) I started a while back.

Genocyze - Terminal Doctrine

Something new for once!

Experimental/Ambient kind of prog-rock-but-all-done-on-a-computer type thing.

Post rock would be more fitting probably. Nicely evolving mood.

I don't know a lot about Post rock (...for some reason, from what I've heard so far it sounds like the type of stuff I could really get into) - so I wasn't sure how closely related to Post rock it was. The songs I've heard were more ambient than this, but yeah, you're right... It would still be more fitting.

And thanks

Easy to zone out to.

These are really, really good. Subscribed. How did you make the guitar sound in amberlight btw? I'd love to mess around with that.

^ Thanks Licorice... assuming you mean zone out as in, relax, and not zone out as in... this is horrendously boring

Thanks! That's a really nice thing to hear considering everything I've made and put up on the internet so far... I know I can do a lot better than. So that's very encouraging

The guitars were made using 3 different acoustic guitar sounds from Pro Tools Xpand2 which were then ran through some distortion.

I am an Anthropology major which means a fuckton of reading which means very good.

Were those good acoustic guitars? Or an actual guitar? I've been hunting some more decent sounds lately and I think I've got everything I could ever need except for the bass and the guitar. Right now I'm trying to force these crappy synth guitars to sound good with an amp but its just not working.

edit: Yeah I know, these are pretty inane questions. I guess I just need some kind of "it can be done!" encouragement or something...

Nah they weren't actual guitars, assuming you mean 'actual' as in "did you pick up a real acoustic and record it with a microphone?". I can't remember which 3 sounds I used exactly, but they were all from the Xpand2 plug-in that (i think) comes with Pro Tools, so if you tried to use them to sound authentic, they'd probably still sound like "forced crappy synth guitars", cus you wouldn't have the things that make them sound genuine (like... fingers sliding over the strings etc.) - if that's what you were going for. Strumming chords would probably sound weird...

I was going for a more programmed/digital sound though so it worked for what I wanted to do.

Sorry if my answers are crap. What type of thing are you trying to do exactly? Did you want an acoustic guitar sound? Or electric/distorted?
