Don't consider this a review, but here's some quick "needle drop"
impressions:
I heard "Queebo" right after listening to Debussy, and the chords at the
beginning are very Debussy-esque.
I think you've mastered the Aphex Twin/Squarepusher crazy breaks style. But
I don't think that should be an end point. I want to hear what's uniquely
you in your music, and I'm not sure that drill & bass is all you can do.
What kind of music do you make when you listen to yourself, instead of your
favorite IDM artists? Sometimes all the skittery breaks feel like they
obscure that parts of this music that are uniquely your own.
I can't claim to be a better composer/producer/musician than you are, but I
stopped trying to make techno, IDM, house music, hip hop because I felt
like I would never be as good as the musicians I admire. What does your
music sound like when you make it strictly for your own listening and
enjoyment? What would it be if you abandoned existing styles and found your
own? If this is it, go for it. You've mastered "IDM" but but what is your
"IGM" - Intelligent Grimwood Music.
