Mad78 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Okay guys i can now reveal one of the many reasons why i have been less present on the forums these past months.One of them is this. I have been working on my new album. This baby took me nine months to put together ie quite a bit of work.I hope you like it and would really like some feedback. The Arkaï Project - Tales of Dystopia Enjoy! Oh and btw, here is a little quiz:In the Album (including album cover) there are references to two movies and three computer games. See if you can find them. And finally, if you like it, and you are one Facebook. Type "The Arkaï Project" in the search bar and you can become a fan. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_La_forge Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yay! Nice work Mad, interesting inspirations you've had here Not exatly my taste of electronic music, but it's sure progressive, and I can guess where it's coming from. Do you play this track somewhere as a Dj maybe?What tools do you use for making music (total noob with that, I am)I could not open the cover file though. It says the file is damaged :S The thumb for it works, strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 I don't really get to Dj as a Psytrance Dj regularly but hopefuly I can organise a few parties this summer and promote the album a bit. When it comes to composing I use Fl Studio XXL and a great amount of samples and VSTs. For the cover, don't know why it doesn't work. I uploaded it here:http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/th_TheArkaProject-TalesofDystopiacover.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_La_forge Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice cover, fits well with the music. Reminds me on Assasins Creed, though I guess it's not what you refered it to I never really understood where people are getting their samples for the tracks. Where do you get those? And what is a VST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Downloaded and listened to it. Nicely done again, Mad. Who cares at all?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Glad you like it Eagle. A VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology. Its basically a virtual instrument.For the samples it depends. Sometimes I'll be watching a movie and hear some cool lines which I find fit well with the music (ex: The Blade Runner or Dune) or other times I'll be actively looking for samples because i know what kind I need but not exactly what shape they will end up having (ex: Cybernetics). To get the samples I generally get a clip, convert it to .wav and then edit it with Audacity. Then I often add some delay to make it sound cleaner and remove imperfections. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTofu Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) That's an awesome cover, Edit: Mad. If I ever manage to get my bloody video projects going again (hopefully a serious one, potentially based on my old story Superman) I may snag a song or two from you for the soundtrack...
