Well, hope you don't mind my directness
Not at all, I wish more people would do that.
Many thanks for your thoughts!
About the track titles, well... I kid you not, sometimes it takes longer for me to choose a name than making the track itself.
Umbra was chosen because of its German/English meaning (shadow), it's the old black, dark, nasty shadow that lies under even the sweetest moment.
Appelsap I chose because it's a Dub/Reggae-style track. I've been to Amsterdam in 2004 and the whole city was plastered with posters of a Ragga act called, wait for it, Appelsap... my wife and I laughed our asses off because the poster was so silly and had a shining yellow background... hence the name and the track pic with those Dutch words. The whole track is kinda tongue-in-cheek anyway (including some Marley references in the lead tune - you'll get a cent and a half if you recognize the song it is from...).
Superhealer: I've felt very bad during the past few months, then I started making music again and it helped me a lot to get back on track. As the wise one once said, music is the healer... and since my track of course is super-duper-cool and all, it became "Superhealer".
n00bKiller was a title suggested by Rot, I thought that some snazzy low-fi stuff with a bassy bassdrum would fit to it. Actually it's my fave of the new tracks so far because of it's tool-y layout, perfect for mixing within a hard, dark set. It's also the first track where I used my new Waldorf 2-pole filter to spice up the kick. You should really hear this track over a 20k watts club PA, the buzzy kick will knock your socks off...
Here's another new track I made yesterday:
All Those Lasers. Kinda relaxed electronica with a double-length lead and some questionable mixdown/mastering decisions, courtesy of that damn 606 kick with its unpredictable low-end boom. That's the drawback of single-track recording, but hey... live for the moment, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
Cylo,
I could send you my tracks in WAV format but I only do single-track recording, no stems or anything.
