it's very good, g/death. and the music's pretty intense as well.

Derek 12.13.2009 01:24 PM

Yes, very good. Bravo!

Genteel Death 12.13.2009 01:43 PM

Thanks guys, much appreciated. The track itself came out very black metal-ish, for some reason. The rest of the music I have been working on has a Gothic feel to it, somehow, but it's either much noisier or much quieter.

Derek 12.13.2009 02:06 PM

What do you use to record?

Genteel Death 12.13.2009 02:32 PM

I record everything with Sound Forge. The mic I stick to the amplifier, and add vocal tracks after. If I am playing a synth I connect it straight into the socket at the back of my hard drive. It depends how abstract the music I am working on is, in which case I make my own samples, loops etc. I have been working out how I'd play in a live setting, 'cause eventually I want to start doing just that, and it will be a learning ground all its own.

Derek 12.13.2009 02:38 PM

Ah. That's how I do it, just stick the mic to the amplifier. I use Adobe Audition though, never used Sound Forge.

unlistenable guff.

Last time I played something to my sister she asked me not to give up the day job. A sisterly way to remind you that your music is shit.

Definately different will require more than one listen, interesting music. Cracked up when I saw the picture of swa(y).

And another one

I'd fucking marry it.

Also, my band had the honor of collaborating with YotL on a track called "Dead Lips the News" which is available on our My Space:

a single, perhaps cassingle, release is in the works with lyrics printed out.

Genteel Death 12.19.2009 06:12 PM

The honour was mine. You guys did an excellent job.

The Slow Face vid is quite nice, actually.
Webcams/photo cameras can work wonders in the right hands.

As for a vid, I might just take you up on that sometime.
Very busy right now.

Genteel Death 12.21.2009 06:01 PM

Thanks again. The video I made for Slow Face is the one I like the most, but far from what I consider any good. The pixelasation between the frames gives me a headache, for instance. Will send you the whole lot of tracks, and see what you can do, time permitting.

Dead-Air 01.24.2010 01:24 AM

the cassingle of Dead Air Fresheners/Year of the Lips collaboration is done. just have to run the damn things off.

Thanks Jim. I would up them on my myspace but it won't let me. Email on your way in a bit.
