<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Has anyone on this list heard of
<STRONG>Hallucinogen</STRONG> (the band, not the drug)? I had their
first
album a while back, and recently heard <STRONG>The Lone
Derranger</STRONG>,
their latest album.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>They do some fantastically intricate
stuff, and
I was wondering how much of it would have been loop/FX based, and how much
of it
would have been MIDI based?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Another thing; I have cubase and a MIDI
keyboard, and every time I try to do some drum work, no matter how hard I
try,
it always sounds basic and repetitive (the best way I can describe it is
an
empty beat). Does anyone have tips on how to write good lively beats
(especially jungle) with just Cubase and a MIDI keyboard?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The reason I ask these questions is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>a) I like the way Hallucinogen use variations on a
phrase to
make it sound distinctly different every time it's repeated and would like
to
include that non-linearity in my loop work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>b) The thing that really f***s me off with trance
music
is the fact that in many cases, the beat doesn't change for the duration
of an
album. If I could use those trippy sounds with decent beats, I think
I
will have found loop music that REALLY does it for me!</FONT></DIV>
