Distrohopper

Post by bulevardi »

Hi all !

Today I released a new song called 'Distrohopper'.

It contains both techno, new beat and (post)rock.
Not the best combination, I know. But it happened that way.

You can check it out via different streaming platforms, choose wisely:

Hi bulevardi,

This was indeed a very strange mix. Well played and mixed but slightly disjointed.

Do the parts represent different distributions? Which one is Ubuntu and which is Arch? ; )
And, why wasn't this recorded on more than one distribution : D ... sorry.

I think I liked the second part the best, cool melody/bass-line!

Good questions indeed! I'm currently running one distribution (Mint), but want to do openSUSE one day, I'm in love with that logo.

I know, lots of stuff could have been done much more better...
The artwok cover was already finnished long time before, and as the year comes to an end, I felt the pressure to publish it.
And then after I uploaded, I thought: "oh no, this could have been done otherwise, I had to add that, I had to change so much other stuff... "

Oh well... it is what it is ;)

Interesting song. It sounds more like a set that is rather short. I enjoyed the first part the most. I thik I would have enjoyed the last section a lot, if it hadn't been such a step down from the section before. The drums sounded so flat and the arrangement was so light... Never mind. Some really good sounds in there!

You're totally right there.
I didn't program the drums from scratch here.
Adding these drums was the last part of the job.... and as I'm not good in that, and didn't want to bother someone else to help with it, I added premade samples of drums and cut/pasted them around.
I think it will always be the stuff I'm not good at.

But I'm happy that it got finnished anyway. :D

The first part reminded me of a mix between Die Krupps and an Amiga game soundtrack: cool nostalgia at the very least :mrgreen:

Wow, this is very good! Not only catchy but also thoughtful. Liked the synths a lot!

Hi,

Some really cool ideas in there and well produced! I personally was liking the synth vibes and I thought the 'rawk' part with the guitars kinda pulled the momentum down a bit..

You must be a marketing genius, your followers and comments on Soundcloud are quite impressive!
