[paolodiaque]

I love your music man, this track is so chill and gets me in a great mood for working on my art! keep up the good work!

[sara18day]

[MothEquals]

@sara18day thanks for the proposal, I'll have to think about it :)

[ttthttpd]

This would make a great stepmania track.

[claudika87]

[claudika87]

buenarolaaa!!!

[Preeny666]

what bpm is this at?

[MothEquals]

@Preeny666 I think around 90. Why do you ask? :)

[Preeny666]

@MothEquals i might have ago at making something like this. :)

[MothEquals]

@Preeny666 well let me know if you upload it so I can have a listen :)

[MothEquals]

@halkotunes thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[Preeny666]

hey man, where did you get the drum samples from? i really like them, i produce music too but nothing like this, i really like this sort of music though.

[MothEquals]

@Preeny666 the snare I sampled from a video of someone drumming, the kick and the percussion came from the sample library in Music 2002 and I tweaked and fiddled to make them a little more my own. Thanks for the comment :)

[Preeny666]

@MothEquals oh man i had music 2000 i think on ps1, i was wayy too young to understand it then haha. i never made anything i just mesed around on some screen with loads of buttons on it haha. cheers for the reply man.

[crazycal95]

i been spittin bars since i was only 13, but theres some newcomers who just try to mess the scene,my lines will penetrate your mind like lightenin beams, the horror storys i could tell, will corupt your dreams,i am the king of rap and the mic is my queen, theres a lesson in life that we all need to see, the message is life aint always what it seems

[WatneyHeckbulb]

This is some really good stuff. Love the ringy snare and incidental soundscapes. Maybe this is what DJ Shadow hears when he's asleep? Top work :)

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the comment, WatneyHeckbulb. I imagine DJ Shadow would have something much cooler to accompany his dreams :)

[42oSupreme]

you've got some real musical talent. an ear for good melody i might say

i love that eerie shit, makes me think of a dark night on a southbound train. anyway

what program do you use btw? idk much about that type of stuff, so dont get too detailed if the explaining has a lot of detail, but i hope to use for future reference. thanks man

[MothEquals]

I used Music 2002 and Audacity to produce this, but I wouldn't recommend either to aspiring producers simply because both programs have glitches and aren't particularly intuitive if you're attempting to compose something of a high standard. I'd recommend Ableton Live, which is a program I've just got my hands on. Although I haven't used it a great deal yet I'm impressed by how much I can do with it. FL Studio seems popular with amateur producers too. Thanks for the comment, 42oSupreme :)

[ttthttpd]

Please make an ilike page only the artist themselves can make a legit one. This is not spam I just really want to have you on my list of favorite artists, my "ilike page". Besides you might get some more fans, it is an artist discovery service after all.

[DoctorRonBalls]

This is absolutely amazing. Good work!

[MothEquals]

Thanks DoctorRonBalls! :) Glad you think so.

[RantingPriest]

I like it without rapping. But I can very well imagine others would like it with rap. If you think rap would fit snugly over this, then do so. (But if so then I'm glad I've heard it without it.) :P

[MothEquals]

RantingPriest, upon reconsideration, I think I like it without rapping too :) I won't bother with adding anything else. Thanks for the comment.

[1BlaK99]

Nice nice. moth this shit is clean homie, keep it up

[MothEquals]

Thanks 1BlaK99, I appreciate it :)

[Kallaye1]

Very nice song.The ambiance is very quiet,melody is good...

*****

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the comment, Kallaye1 :)

[bleepingman]

Do you do your illustrations as well?

[MothEquals]

I do. I'm an art student, so it makes sense for me to create the visual elements to accompany my own music. What do you think?

[bleepingman]

I love them! Quirky and minimalist with often times a twisted facet. That's how I see it, especially this one.

[snapseven7]

MMMMM...tasty..good work thanks.

[MothEquals]

Thanks for eating it all up :)

[LemonTartProductions]

This rad. Nice and spacey. Good work.

[MothEquals]

Thanks LemonTartProductions :)
