i took apart my personal favorite of our songs that jan wrote and cut it up so that i could perform it live. here's what it looks like. i'm dreadfully sorry for the quality. i have a really pretty guitar too, shame it's out of the shot =((((

the colorful button board (what someone called it after a show) is an apc20, pressing stuff triggers a sample. by themselves samples can be very plain but together it can get really crazy. used as a metaphor for people, it's inspiring. i'm a bit worried it won't be fun to watch live though, since people are usually below and in front of me. i guess if i wear really reflective sunglasses it could show off all the colors? =]

there's a button you hold down with the apc that lights up in a 4x4 red grid. it's basically a minimap where each button represents 1/16th of where your 'screen' is on the apc's main button layout (the 8x5 grid). in playing a song like this, there's some dexterity and timing involved and a lot of build orders just like brood warstarcraft (no commentary on sc2!). it's very comforting to still be working with the same concepts i was 10 years ago on bnet.

The "busy" period starting around 1:00 building to around 2:30 could use some different levels I think - you start to lose individual sounds into just a solid wall of tones. That may have been the effect you were going for in the song, but it is a little overwhelming.

The song is pretty good. Not my usual genre but pretty nice, and impressive that it's just you and an apc.

respectfully disagree

fuckin great. definitely my fave. though I suppose the levels idea works, to make the individual notes louder and the music part a little softer, so you can hear everything that's happening. and what not.

I don't know how technically versed you are, but it would be cool if you could wired (or at least coordinate) the buttons on the board to some sort of stage light display. So whenever you change colors on the board, the stage lights/LEDs mimic the clicks on some fashion.

On a side note, madeon does does the same thing in his song Pop Culture.

The whole thing, but especially 2:30+, is really great. The latter quarter, with the piano, and the reverb, that sounds really awesome. I haven't heard anything like that before personally. Do you mind if I use this in a machinima-esque production I am producing? Probably looking at like a year or so until it's actually viewable/finished, and I don't plan to publicize it much, but maybe I can intermix this into the audio in a way that comes out really well. I've spent a long, long time looking for music just like that.

yeah that'd be pretty cool, time for some googling on how to make the stage lights thing happen

I have to agree. Simply too many audio layers and the left-/right-channels being alternated a bit excessively. Also I feel like the kick @0:33 onwards is slightly off-beat - at least I sense something odd to it, but maybe it's just me.

It's pretty good all in all, sounds really interesting. Makes me want to buy a midi-controller (like the infamous Maschine) so bad.
Keep up the good work!
(:

I have to agree with the saturatio of the 1:10-2:xx part. There are a lot of lines and the breakcorish drums on the background plus the guitar sounds a bit weird to me.

Love the rest of the song, being a fan of your band since i first came to TL and heard a song of Castles in a broadcast, cant remember which. 2:30+ im really in love with that, the piano line is really good with all the background sounds and everything.

Keep it up man, hope you guys get famous and come to Spain on Tour
