**ANNOUNCING** IDMf037 μ-metik - Paths [5 November 2012]
Imagine if someone took you to a perfectly relaxed environment where they could soothe your tensions and ease you into a relaxed and peaceful, meditative state. Just as you fall into a blissful slumber you suddenly wake up again, only you haven't really woken up, you're still unconscious, just lucid, unexpectedly thrown into a dream where the world around you is a giant computer and its various components make wonderful sounds that match the
glitchy beats and the futuristic synths.
So imagine now that you are in these two different places. You walk through computer glitch city where everything is dark science fiction but you look to the sky and all you can see is the room where you sleep. In that room, the unconscious you can hear the birds singing outside. The unconscious you can hear rainfall, someone playing the piano, someone playing a guitar.
This is what [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click here to register] 's Paths feels like, being lost in a computer dream as the sleeping you feeds a subconscious stream of natural sounds down from the sky. Paths can't easily be
categorised to a single genre. The contrast of the acoustic instruments to the electronic glitches and synths creates a unique imagery. The recordings and gentle ambience
next to the dark broody pulse of the music and a sound design all its own, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click here to register] has hit on something that demands your attention.

I think that was some of the material that was cut from the u-metik interview & made classified. Really looking forward to hearing your album dude, and for anyone who hasn't heard his excellent interview, check it out [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click here to register] .

Thanks everyone!!
And man, that description is excellent. Indeed, I'd like to add a few words myself... The giant computer city was indeed a machine in my mind, signifying mainly modern technological societies, in which everybody is but a tiny cog, alienated in the routine of everyday life. The glitches are what is produced by "interruptions" to the functioning of the omnipresent machine, things that shouldn't happen but they do. Neverthless these accidents, these unwanted events can produce sheer beauty. The room up in the sky, where the unconscious you reside is the last bit of humanity, which tries still to feed dreams and imageries of a world outside the machine. Though bleak and darkly futuristic sounding at times, there is still hope to find these paths...
I'd like also to take the moment to thank the Idmf community for this: I learned so much from so many people, that I hope you can hear your reflection in this release, be it because I learned from discussing with you the basics of pad building, or how to threat low frequencies, or many other things.
Final thanks goes to the "mastering dude": the album would not sound the same without.
I hope you'll enjoy this.
For now, thanks again.

Love this. You kind of get a sense of this from the promo video. You really need to get this included as a text file with the download.

Thanks, man. Actually, I'm a bit surprised there's a number strictly bigger then 0 of people waiting for this release. I really hope you all will enjoy this.

That youtube preview sounds awesome,
i've listened to it twice already - with continuous curiosity: "what next sound is he going to use?" really tense experience
can't wait for the release!
Re: **ANNOUNCING** IDMf037 μ-metik - Paths [5 November 2012]
This is really interesting, I'm getting tons of ideas of stuff to do, but I don't think I can make any sci-fi ambient sounds echoing through the track.
Pads goes fine, but random small sounds...how do you manage to make them?
And for gods sake, don't judge me because I mostly make dubstep, I love experimenting with different genres, I just tend to finish dubstep tracks more often.
EDIT:
So I started to work on something, and it is turning out pretty interesting!
Forget that about sounds thing, I found an way to make some interesting stuff.
