My brother has one of the most intriguing, and utterly mind blowing talents I've ever seen! Check it out!

Second album coming along very nicely! Does anyone have any requests for some kind of remix? Please no requests to remix other techno songs. I want some crazy "i never thought this could be techno" requests.

p.s. You are awesome!
A remix.....you know.......I feel like you should go back to something along the lines of your "TrainMadness" piece. It was an instant hit and garnered much praise. It was the catchy dark foreboding tune that probably hooked everyone. I think you should lean a little towards that direction.
I will try and bring back the darkness for a couple songs but I'm trying to branch out a little bit. I use a lot of the same sounds and song "setup technique's". I don't want people to get bored or for the music to get predictable but don't worry. That dark foreboding sound is ingrained deep in my soul and I'll never be able to get too far away from it.
You should definitely expand on the large, almost orchestral sound you've had in some recent songs (ie MC7's intro) and try to maintain and build on the momentum that gives you rather than letting it fall flat (ie the rest of MC7).
You're an amazing artist, no hard feelings plox
I like your comment, it makes me smile. and yes, I hear what you're saying...
Expanding on my previous comment, I think you'll definitely come into your own once you're no longer making soundtracks but rather actual songs. You've got mood down, and you can write ridiculously catchy and intense riffs and hooks, but you need to build on this.
Refering back to MC7 - at 3:25 it drops to a very low key yet foreboding sound, and everyone expects something massive, but it simply returns to the same sound it's had for much of the song with very little build. If this riff came back intensified, perhaps with more powerful percussion section or what have you, it would be fucking cathartic. As it is it's merely satisfying.
Very good point. I should ask you questions more often!
More example:
The reason TrainMadness is so popular is because it HAS these builds. It is the quintessential Cheshyre song with none of the short-comings they so often fall to. At 0:40 it drops to (once again) a low, foreboding sound, and it starts to build. And it builds. And it builds. And it builds. More and more layers are added on and eventually when it segments it's into another crescendoing riff that's better than the first, and at 1:50 it goes double or nothing and holy mother of god does it win big. By the time you get back to the main riff the listener is ready for it, and it fucking rocks.
<3, please keep making music whether you head this or not
fuck i don't even care if you read this
you rock don't change
Thanks for the advice! It sounds like you really listen to the music! I appreciate that!
I'm not really sure what you're asking for but you don't seem to want to remix whats already out there. What I like about your stuff is that you seem to like to take random sounds and incorporate them into a song, like Hitler's speech in antihero (at least I assumed it was hitler anyway), and the train sounds in trainmadness (the sound of the actual train is more pronounced in the madness animation, for some reason you cant hear the train very easily in the downloadable version of the music). Maybe you could try incorporating some kind of 'heart beat' sound effects into some music, kind of like a throbbing effect? That'd sound fairly dark and unique.
Totally! That would be cool if I could record my own heartbeat and put it in a song. It would have a part of me inside it! It would be like Frankenstien! You, my friend, are on to something!
I'm still waiting for a full Project I.V. song, you know.
oh crap! Good call. I'll get working on that right now!

You've got an already amazing style to your music. When it comes to remixing it, maybe go for an even bigger sound? Like with Madness 6.5, it's almost like asking for one to build a few more levels onto a building already in space. But if you could take a song like that and just cause people to rock out so hard they no longer care for their furniture as it goes out a window, these end up being some pretty good tunes.

Interesting point. Madness 6.5 was such a massive song to begin with (not as huge as madness 5.5 though), that even the thought of revisiting that place makes me instantly tired. But still...goo idea. Thanks!
