    mantrakid,

    I've always done conceptual stuff, no real song structure or pop appeal. none of this is well mastered either. I always move on to the next idea without finalizing anything. My first project was remaking pop songs into somber experiences.

    There's even a video, it's sad & depressing

    I then moved on to something more soundtrack driven, however the clipping tends to annoy me as soundcloud is only 128kbs so my poor mastering gets highlighted as well.

    Then there's some experiments where I was still thinking electronic / dubstepish but tried doing drum n bass and hip hop. A few of the tracks on this were liked earlier in the thread

    I now have a trap song, a few dubstep efforts and some sick hip hop (so say my friends) that I've tried to be more genre specific with that add up to 23.35 that of course haven't been mastered. I can't decide if I want to get some vocals on these tracks before I upload them or what will even happen with them.

    I might upload the one that has a vocal commentary as I don't see it changing unless it's mastered very well just to get the most out of it.

    As far as my buddy, this is him over my drums

    this is all old stuff, he never updates this anymore

    Those instruments / drums / keyboards are all performed by him & layered by me. You can tell the live performances. There's also digital drums in there as well.

    and a noisy mix he does then emcees over on soundcloud
