Triangle Puller (tune)

Yeah, I wish I was Squarepusher. This one is called Triangle Puller. Comes off as pretty boring in the beginning. Please give it some time to develop. The last 50% is the hook. At about 2:29 it gets a solid idea. I need to trim it down. Like the idea from 02:05-02:29 is pretty lame, unnecessary and too long.
Such a sad melody at the end, really gets stuck in my head. It had a really nice 8 bar feel, the melody resolves itself every 8 bars. A departure from lazy loop stuff I usually do. Which is a good sign.
I need to lower the volume on the drums like in Seven to volumes like this, drums are just about right on this. Allows the music to come through. I still don’t know how to mix, get a mastered sound or get “out of the box”.
This was mostly done on my Korg MS2000, a while ago. It’s running through Guitar Rig 2 for the amped sound. I double recorded most things (record once, pan left; record again, pan right) as usual. In the end, it doesn’t sound like anything Squarepusher would do.
The title/name is hardly ever accurate (thus the meaningless titles). Because in Cubase, you name a project before you start recording. So you have no idea how it’s actually going to come out.
Update: major overhaul like I was saying. Got to the good part sooner, retracked some other stuff. Clear your cache and reload the page, otherwise the player plays the old one.

Wow, at 0:34 til 1:24 it’s really really muddy. I guess you’re spreading your wings with that whole 4,000 voice/sound output limit. Sounded pretty cool, over-all though

@hic: yeah this one was done mostly with the older Korg I bought about 4 years ago. Its still a neat little thing but it can’t layer like the new one can (it can only do 4 notes of any complexity). I’m still learning how to make stuff sound nice. More notes doesn’t really mean more happy, but if you want a fat bass line, you can really get that kind of sound out of it.
