  • i like this

    it has real moments, when stuff clicks together etc

    alcxxk | 8 Sep '12, 03:24 | X
  • really like

    it's fantastic

    codpieceface | 8 Sep '12, 05:38 | X
    • thanks man

      didn't mean to skip over your appreciation like that

      I appreciate your appreciation

      Body_In_The_Thames @codpieceface | 10 Sep '12, 11:34 | X
      • ha

        that's alright man, i'm not quite so insecure as to take offense from that. the bit about 4:40 into the first one with the piano sounding chords and slidy bass is beautiful... lots of other moments in there too. this sort of entirely synth built stuff is something i always enjoy but very rarely listen to or look into so its great to have it on the doorstep like.

        codpieceface @Body_In_The_Thames | 16 Sep '12, 09:15 | X
        • yeah

          that bit is the bit I was talking about down here http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4414648#r7012919 - the bit I came up with first but decided it was better just dropped in the middle somewhere rather than being the basis of the whole piece

          works better that way I think

          Body_In_The_Thames @codpieceface | 16 Sep '12, 14:34 | X
  • DLd it, cant wait to listen.

    theShipment | 8 Sep '12, 05:39 | X
    • Yep this is great, as expected.

      Love your stuff.

      theShipment @theShipment | 8 Sep '12, 07:15 | X
  • Cheers guys :)

    It's really nice to get such positive feedback - and actual cash monies from 1 of you (shipment?)

    @ alcxxk yeah, the moments thing is quite weird.
    I took a totally new approach to arrangement on this in the sense that I didn't arrange it at all really. I just recorded a massive amount of parts and then did the mixdown on the fly and tried to make it like a live performance - was aiming to get close to the energy of something like that Factory Floor 2 different ways track

    Then the 2nd track is all the bits I didn't use in the first mixdown and I repitched and EQ'd to give it a downtempo slant but they are actually the same track unbelievably

    Also, EVERY sound is from my Jupiter6 - drums/percussion the lot + some delay & reverb
    Hence the name (which isn't a ? mark DiS utf) which is the astrological symbol for Jupiter

    TMI? I'm gonna look silly when no one replies under here

    By the way, everything on my Bandcamp page is available to d/l at pay what you like, no minimum price ie FREE so take a look/listen around

    I'm doing a Radiohead

    Anyone else want to give it a spin/ give an opinion?

    Body_In_The_Thames | 8 Sep '12, 12:22 | X
    • that doesn't surprise me

      it's a good approach when you're doing analoguey stuff, not to try and be too controlling of it. you've just done it really well

      alcxxk @Body_In_The_Thames | 8 Sep '12, 13:12 | X

  • I'm enjoying it

    synth sounds on it are pretty sublime. Its a little prog for my taste in parts but it still kicks, espesh that first three/four/five mins, nice bit of energy there. If you did a basement stripped down dubbed out techno spesh it would almost remind me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdMR5gr0GwM

    jimitheexploder | 8 Sep '12, 15:33 | X
    • hmm

      it does have more than a passing resemblance to that

      sounds like Levon Vincent has a much better soundcard/preamp/mastering technician than me

      hadn't thought of the track as prog at all but now you mention it perhaps giving it a little squiggly symbol name tips it into prog territory a bit ha

      Body_In_The_Thames @jimitheexploder | 8 Sep '12, 15:56 | X
  • I absolutely love that percussion sound underlying the first track

    esp. at the start.

    Haven't listened to the second yet.

    robluvsnic | 8 Sep '12, 17:03 | X
    • which one - percussion sound I mean?

      Body_In_The_Thames @robluvsnic | 8 Sep '12, 17:48 | X
      • sorry, not percussion sound so much as percussion track

        so, like the whole first 30 secs, but more specifically the percussion sound(s) that start from the beginning.

        robluvsnic @Body_In_The_Thames | 9 Sep '12, 10:09 | X
        • aha

          mostly square or shaped pulse waves mixed with the noise generator, very short attack & decay with 100% keyboard follow on midi notes set at 1/32th length put through band pass filters at varying cutoff & resonance

          a bit of cross modulation on one of them, a bit longer decay and more noise on others

    is amazingly good, son. the percussion particularly. The high melodic keys tone could do with a bit of refinement but otherwise, its big time. Not sooo keen on the second track.

          thanks, that's good to know
          I don't really make any journeys longer than 15 minutes and most of those are on my bike

          you reminded me also of Philip Larkin's The Whitsun Weddings and particularly this favourite bit of mine

          66

          They watched the landscape, sitting side by side
          —An Odeon went past, a cooling tower,
          And someone running up to bowl—and none
          Thought of the others they would never meet
          Or how their lives would all contain this hour.
          I thought of London spread out in the sun,
          Its postal districts packed like squares of wheat:

          99

          I love that stanza

      then if you want you can download it again on payday :)

      there wasn't much involved in the mastering - a little EQing and a small amount of compression and limiting - most of it was in the recording & mixing

      Body_In_The_Thames @incandenza_ | 15 Sep '12, 10:53 | X
      • there was supposed to be an 'and' there...

        I meant the creation of sounds and mixing too. :)

        incandenza_ @Body_In_The_Thames | 15 Sep '12, 11:57 | X
        • oh

          ha of course

          umm well
          I have one of these http://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/jup6.php# and all of the sounds came from there straight into my soundcard

          this track (it's the same track in two parts) started with me exploring how to make drum sounds with the synth so I began with a bass kick and after a few attempts got a nice one and recorded the audio

          then I tried some hats, some percussion, some clap sounds and so on recording them in short clips into ableton

          only having the one synth means recording each bit separately but it takes midi so I would write a 4 or 8 bar hi hat pattern and then play it through the synth, get a hi hat sound for example (noise generator, through band pass filter with a short filter (vcf) envelope and a medium short amp (vca) envelope etc) and then I'd record for a few minutes and slowly move the filters, envelopes etc by hand until I had a nice or useable take

          basically I repeated this about 20 times with different patterns and had myself a pretty complicated rhythm track

          then I tried to figure out a bassline - there's 8 bars in the middle of the track that has a melodic bass bit with chords - that's what I came up with first and it's a nice melody but I wanted something that just rocked tight with the rhythm so I took one of the percussion patterns I'd written and put it through the synth with (and here's my bass sound if you can follow) osc1 at -2 with a saw wave synced to osc2 at -1 with a sine & noise with the 24db lpf at 15% and the vcf env at 25%

          ...and it sounded great so
          I built the track kind of around that - or rather I rinsed every idea I could get out of the synth and ended up with about 40 channels and between 5 and 15 riffs on each channel

          at this point I usually think to myself 'fuck, how the hell am I going to arrange all of this' and this time was no different but I thought I'd try and do a live take building up the track and triggering different parts

          I have one of these http://midiland.godo.co.kr/shop/skin/default/img/product/novation/ReMOTE_ZeRO_SL/angle.jpg which automatically maps to ableton so I just busted a live mix using that

          the key with this track, as well as the nice sounds, and with all tracks in a sense, is reverb & delay. I set up a reverb send & return & a delay send & return and as well as triggering and fading the arrangement I'm doing a lot of work on the faders with the send & returns and I one point in the track I completely cut the reverb & delay and the track jumps really close

          so yeah, one take 12 & a half minutes. It's not perfect but it's probably more interesting for not being perfect

          then I did the second track with the bits I didn't use from the first take and used the same method, pitched and eq'd a few things in the rhythm track and tried to get a completely different feel

          so I think that about covers it

          unless you have some specific questions

            Body_In_The_Thames @Body_In_The_Thames | 15 Sep '12, 23:55 | X
          • fascinating!

            the use of the synth as percussion generator reminds me of some primitive sonic doodles (wouldn't call them tunes) I did on Audacity years ago. didn't have synths or drum machines, so I used noise and wave generators combined with the inbuilt VSTs to fashion my percussion and synth sounds. proper raw sound synthesis :)

            and your live approach to mixing is ingenius; I like it when a tune sounds alive, and automation is such an awkward way of getting that constant shifting feeling.

            I need to start making tunes again...gonna look for some good free VSTs, although I could do with a hard synth like you have.

            • I got the idea off watching a Vince Clarke analogue monologues video about the ARP 2600

              this one

              http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYTEe5ev1to

              • I mean, I was already using it to make some percussion and hats

                but that video made me think - why not programme a whole kit/ drum track

                Body_In_The_Thames @Body_In_The_Thames | 19 Sep '12, 13:03 | X
  • Bought it for it was pretty nice

    wonder if length will make it slightly daunting listen sounds pretty lovely

    Tiresias42 | 14 Sep '12, 22:11 | X
    • thanks man

      that was very generous of you

      hope you don't have problems with length ..uumm, yeah :)

      especially the second track

      Jordan_229_2 @Jordan_229_2 | 15 Sep '12, 12:11 | X
      • cheers Jordan

        hmm, a live synth ensemble

        could be fun

  • i shared this on my label's facebook page

    http://www.facebook.com/wildcombination.recordings

    no-one has 'liked' it, but hopefully some people have listened and liked it. i'm thinking of putting a compilation out in the future so i'll be in touch :)

    Jordan_229_2 | 16 Sep '12, 14:37 | X
    • oh right

      you shared the Moonbass EP, nice
      thanks
      re. the compilation, definitely get in touch, I've always wanted to be big in Nottingham

        Jordan_229_2 @Body_In_The_Thames | 17 Sep '12, 20:29 | X
        • outside of Derby?

          What do you mean? Does the label have a hardcore fanbase in Castle Donington or something?

    • cheers yeah

      must be one of the most successful JAG's ever on here ... I think

      Body_In_The_Thames @whynot | 18 Sep '12, 23:55 | X
  • Anyone not had a listen yet?

    still fresh

    Body_In_The_Thames | 19 Sep '12, 22:50 | X
  • Very good

    I got lost in there at some point. Lovely.

    rich-t | 20 Sep '12, 20:10 | X
    • ta. do you ever listen to music on your bike rides?

      I'm guessing you must do but maybe for safety reasons you decide not to

      it gives quite a rush to listen to it coming down the mild hills of urban Stockholm, I wonder how it feels coming down a proper hill with it loud in the ears

      want to try it and report back?

      Body_In_The_Thames @rich-t | 21 Sep '12, 11:30 | X
      • Sorry but no I don't. Cannot trust myself to listen to music as I tend to concentrate too much on the music and not enough on the road. Don't need the distraction. The roads, traffic and drivers are bad enough without chucking hypnotic music in the mix.

        Now on a nice long hill walk, that'd be cool.

        rich-t @Body_In_The_Thames | 21 Sep '12, 11:47 | X
        • yeah, thought that might be the case

          it's different in town I guess - traffic is steady, predictable & relatively slow - plus good cycle lane network

          probably safer to blast this in-car if we're talking countryside A & B roads though

          Body_In_The_Thames @rich-t | 21 Sep '12, 12:16 | X
          • Definite an in car album

            I live in the sticks(ish), so lots of narrow country roads. Need to be able to anticipate what traffic behind and in front of me are doing.

            Used to listen to stuff like yours (and Holy Fuck was high up there) though when mountain biking, but as it's broken, I can't.

            rich-t @Body_In_The_Thames | 24 Sep '12, 00:07 | X
            • fix it

    Disappointed and intrigued in equal measure. Will check this out soon.

    automatik | 24 Sep '12, 00:10 | X
    • Sorry for the lack of hilarity

      But these aren't proper songs with proper emotions and I'm not here to give any scene a kick up the arse

      Body_In_The_Thames @automatik | 24 Sep '12, 12:41 | X
      moker this'd this
      • You tell him!

        A couple of my younger colleagues played a long electronic freeform tronica style track of yours in the staff room on Friday. I listened to it keenly. Very good!

        elwell @Body_In_The_Thames | 24 Sep '12, 12:49 | X

    Sean?

        Body_In_The_Thames @Body_In_The_Thames | 3 Oct '12, 09:11 | X
        • Rename it

          *Is Body_In_The_Thames killing music?* and he'll be all over it.

          I liked it btw, though wasnlt actually that sure about the Bowie cover, but that is more down to not liking the original either.

          Kitchmo @Body_In_The_Thames | 3 Oct '12, 09:18 | X
          • yeah is Body in the Thames killing ceiling cat while listening to Elliot Smith?

            the Bowie Cover is quite different to the original but it in any case just for fun

            glad you liked the main feature at least

            ta

            Body_In_The_Thames @Kitchmo | 3 Oct '12, 09:46 | X
            • actually, it's just dawned on me

              Sean doesn't give opinions on the board for fear of some Peppermint Ape quoting him to put some spin on their dodgy press release

              or some bollocks like that

              Body_In_The_Thames @Body_In_The_Thames | 4 Oct '12, 23:28 | X
  • I listened to this.

    I really enjoyed this.
    Can I remix it? ;)

    justanothersheeldz | 3 Oct '12, 15:30 | X
    • Sure

      Where should I send the stems?

      Body_In_The_Thames @justanothersheeldz | 3 Oct '12, 17:03 | X
      • o.O

        justanothersheeldz @Body_In_The_Thames | 3 Oct '12, 17:10 | X
        • Actually

          If I ran off some stems I wonder if anyone would be interested in remixing it?

          I already have a zip of the Malawi Moonbase stems

          Anyone interested?

          Body_In_The_Thames @justanothersheeldz | 4 Oct '12, 11:57 | X
          • Ha

            Yeah ok

            Body_In_The_Thames @Body_In_The_Thames | 4 Oct '12, 15:24 | X
          • I'd be interested in remixing something!

    Body_In_The_Thames | 5 Oct '12, 20:41 | X
    • hmm

      but I seems it didn't get added to the Freshnet listening post

      odd

      Body_In_The_Thames @Body_In_The_Thames | 5 Oct '12, 21:06 | X

    I've upoaded the stems to Malawi Moonbase;
    http://bodyinthethames.bandcamp.com/track/malawi-moonbase
    http://soundcloud.com/body-in-the-thames/malawi-moonbase

    to my dropbox and I've bounced down the stems to

    http://soundcloud.com/body-in-the-thames/body-in-the-thames-i
    ready to upload and put in there too

    anyone fancy it?

    Body_In_The_Thames | 6 Oct '12, 19:51 | X
  • Dude, you're awesome.

    Can't believe I didn't listen to this before now. The pacing and the control - very impressive. Might have to get in on some remix action once I have a minute.

    Luis_Carruthers | 6 Oct '12, 21:36 | X

    furio | 7 Oct '12, 12:43 | X
    • it could well be

      in the 30 days since I posted this thread around 600 visits to my bandcamp have come directly from it - which is about half

      interestingly 50 visits came directly from here http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4414902
      :)

      Body_In_The_Thames @furio | 7 Oct '12, 14:50 | X
  • all the stems for this are uploaded to my dropbox now

    anyone else want in?

    Body_In_The_Thames | 10 Oct '12, 10:53 | X
    • thought so

      Body_In_The_Thames @Body_In_The_Thames | 12 Oct '12, 00:29 | X

          Downloading now, going to have some fun with this.

          skellywager @Body_In_The_Thames | 12 Oct '12, 21:10 | X
          • yeah

            you should have seen it before I converted it from 24bit wavs to 320mp3s

            Body_In_The_Thames @skellywager | 12 Oct '12, 23:04 | X
            • So many tracks to work with.

              Starting off with the bass. By the way there is a little buzz that I am having difficulty getting rid of on one of the bass tracks. Going to bring a few drum samples into drum rack now and mess with them. This is going to take an age, not used to this many tracks to work with but will be fun.

              skellywager @Body_In_The_Thames | 12 Oct '12, 23:29 | X
              • yeah, it's all analogue

                expect some buzz

                Body_In_The_Thames @skellywager | 12 Oct '12, 23:38 | X
                • Cool, will mess with the EQ for a while.

    • I have this remix done, going to upload it in a few minutes.

      It is not very good and doesn't really go anywhere. Do you want it in wav via email or what?

      skellywager @Body_In_The_Thames | 23 Oct '12, 21:21 | X
      • stick the wav in the dropbox dude

        very curious to hear it

        Body_In_The_Thames @skellywager | 23 Oct '12, 21:32 | X
        • Dropbox seems to be acting the dick.

          I will post you a mediafire link, have it uploaded to soundcloud anyway. http://soundcloud.com/skellywager/body-in-the-thames-i

          skellywager @Body_In_The_Thames | 23 Oct '12, 21:55 | X
        • AHHHH

          Everything is being shitty on this connection I'm afraid. You might have to make do with the mp3 on soundcloud.

          skellywager @Body_In_The_Thames | 23 Oct '12, 22:16 | X
          • that'll do for now :)

            Body_In_The_Thames @skellywager | 23 Oct '12, 22:37 | X
      • you're right about it not really going anywhere

        but it's alright, I mean, it's got potential

        cheers for making the effort. Hope you had fun with it.

        Body_In_The_Thames @skellywager | 23 Oct '12, 23:12 | X
  • still chipping away at it meself

    never done a remix before but think it's going interesting places. Perhaps.

    penny_racer | 23 Oct '12, 21:39 | X
  • This is great

    I'm listening on headphones and having a party-for-one. It reminds me of this 'Death From Abroad' Nobody Knows Anything compilation I got a while ago - which was full-on analoguey Scandinavian cosmic-disco jams - also reminciscent of Lindstrom / Diskjokke and those other Smalltown Supersound guys

    Anyway, yeh completely love it. Will be buying it later

    beautiful_balloon | 23 Oct '12, 22:34 | X
    • aww cheers b_b

      How's things going with your band?

      Body_In_The_Thames @beautiful_balloon | 23 Oct '12, 22:38 | X
      • not too many developments on that front

        played a gig with 'wave machines' last week which was really cool, need to do a bit of promoting and so forth

        beautiful_balloon @Body_In_The_Thames | 23 Oct '12, 22:47 | X
        • if you ever want to send any of your recordings my way for some post-production I'd be more than willing to help out (or try to)

          Body_In_The_Thames @beautiful_balloon | 23 Oct '12, 23:02 | X
  • Vince Clarke just tweeted at me that this was 'Very Cool' which is pretty fucking great
