Great bouncy electronic tune I made.

Time to unleash the mad chords. The middle section is supposed to sound wrong. I did that on purpose.

I wanted to deliberately create a piece of music that was bad. It was just a fun exercise to see if I could break through my automatic habit of making stuff which I like the sound of.

It's not meant to sound like heavy metal though, just inspired by those kinds of lead harmonies.

Imagine and Jump mash up,it is really good

You shouldn’t need us to tell you that the music industry—namely, how it chooses to monetize songs—is hopelessly broken. Despite the fact that vinyl sales are increasing, the traditional ways that artists made money (namely, by selling records and touring) are yielding less and less—this, despite Iron Maiden’s new funding model and Beats Music, which aims to pay musicians more for streaming music.

This song is called "Kuiper", like the Kuiper belt at the edge of our solar system. This song reflects the ambiance of space and the speed of asteroids whizzing by.

Ramones Mania, a greatest hit collection which managed to break the the 500,000 mark in the US. That’s their only gold record.

When two professors began transforming recordings of brain activity into music, they did so with artistic aspirations, but soon realized that the work may help identify brain patterns associated with seizures.

The growing influence of this idea, ironically, makes it difficult to see clearly Eno’s distinct contributions to music: his catalogue of recordings doesn’t completely contain his contribution to the pop canon.

There’s minimal, and then there’s snd.
