New to the community (with a track to share)
Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2013 1:30 am
Hi folks. I wanted to introduce myself and give some background as I'm new to the community.
I've been a fan of FSOL since I heard "We Have Explosive" on a compilation in the late 90's. Funny thing is, I didn't really like that track but I did some digging and discovered they had so much more to offer. While I can't seem to get into any of their releases after Dead Cities; I still listen to that and Lifeforms monthly (not kidding). They are the best albums of their style I've ever heard; in my opinion. The combination of textures, emotion, flow, atmosphere... They defined "electronic" for me.
As for me; I've been making music seriously since 2007. I began with an electronica sound and it soon developed into a dark ambient/industrial mix. But I've been moving away from that over the last couple years. Frankly, I'm tired of making dark, ominous music. Life has always influenced my music and I no longer possess the will to express the negative spectrum.
Long story short(ened); I want to reach out to like-minded musicians and broaden my community. The majority of my current musician friends are still making dark, angry music. I am leaning more toward a blend of FSOL, Enigma, Akira Yamaoka, older Massive Attack, etc.
I wanted to share a track from an EP I am in the process of making. It's kind of meant as a bridge from my old sound toward the newer sound I want to express. Very much FSOL influenced. Anyway, I'd love to get opinions and insights.

I hope to get to know you folks here and perhaps remix/collaborate in the future (if you folks do that sort of thing).
Best wishes,
Aaron
