Problem Machine Posted March 21, 2015 Hm, the piano bit at the end feels a bit of a nonsequiter. Otherwise pretty good background music for exploring a swamp full of porn ghosts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozzie Posted March 21, 2015 Quote Otherwise pretty good background music for exploring a swamp full of porn ghosts! Haha! Thanks! ^^ It is a non-sequitur, yes, I doesn't build much on what comes before, which is why I think that the first two minutes aren't all that important to listen to. It also was the result of a mildly desperate struggle for a good ending. Like I said a few posts back, I made this merely for myself to learn how to use the tools, so it didn't need to be perfect on a structural level. You can hear how I progressively got more adept while the track progresses. Since the program was also very limiting it didn't make sense to work longer than necessary with it. In the end though I'm very proud of what I achieved and kinda surprised that I managed to produce this kind of music. I've listened a lot to the back half of the track over the last few days.

Problem Machine Posted March 24, 2015 This month's piece is done! It's very different from the last two! Where I Am Meant To Go I also have a couple of runner-up pieces I may also try to finish for this month, but we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted March 24, 2015 Enjoyed that Ozzie, although I definitely think the second half was stronger with the piano and all. The build-up did make it satisfying once it got there, admittedly. I'll listen to the Problem Machine track tomorrow, as I've just spent this evening dicking around with a piece myself and my ears are too shot to take any more noise. Might throw that up tomorrow as I have another idea I'm keen to flesh out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problem Machine Posted March 25, 2015 Given how much recent discussion here has centered around it, do you reckon we oughta start a new thread for music creations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be a nice idea, music making is one of my favourite hobbies but I've never really shared or discussed about it anywhere. Here's my Soundcloud page https://soundcloud.com/atteo/sets/new-notable And it looks like I haven't uploaded any new stuff for years, so maybe some outside inspiration/motivation/pressure would be a healthy thing for me.

Thrik Posted March 25, 2015 Yes. Maybe the opening post could be Thumbers' SoundClouds (or whatever). I can create it on my computer this afternoon if nobody else does first.

BigJKO Posted March 29, 2015 I'm getting closer to having a finished Pointclicking book. I have found a very nice print on demand option that isn't too expensive and still looks very nice. So soon there will be pre-orders! If you want to know exactly when pre-orders start, you can sign up to this mailing list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome article, though I kind of fundamentally disagree with you concerning the core themes of Fight Club, which are kind of anti-whatpeoplethinkit'sabout under a fair amount of scrutiny, since Reveal hidden contents in the end, the extremities of Tyler Durden, along with the philosophy he exemplifies, are thrown out in favor of something (and someone) less destructive but still as existentially fulfilling. Which is a lesson more narratively supported than any popular interpretation of Hotline Miami's violence and message. Though in terms of how it was received, I totally agree with it being the pretentious patriarch's pleasure. Tyler Durden, like Andrew Ryan, still kind of remains the sexist role model for those who don't think more than 3 seconds into what they're watching or playing.

Gerretic Posted April 1, 2015 Obviously this isn't the Hotline Miami thread, or the Fight Club thread, but Film Crit Hulk has a piece about Fight Club which I remember liking a lot, basically arguing that the movie fundamentally fails by making Tyler Durden really appealing and never adequately tearing down him out his ideology. In other words it's the film's own fault that people take it the way seemingly many do. http://badassdigest.com/2012/01/22/film-crit-hulk-smash-hulk-vs-fight-club-and-the-work-of-david-fincher/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
