Experimental Prog. Metal

I'm new to this, so if this site if for classical music only, then please ignore this post!! This music that I have written, is highly experimental, and deliberatley devoid if a structure or meaning, it just does what it wants baby! If I had to give it a genre, it'd have to be Progressive Metal, but the music incorporates classical, metl, prog, jazz and many more.

Please listen to all four and leave a review on the site, but don't listen if you're not into to either metal or prog or experimental music as i can guarantee you won't like it!

Cheers

I downloaded the plugin and i restarted my computer but i still can't see or hear anything! Little help..... i'd really like to hear your music

hmmmn... it worked for me the first time.... maybe try and find a faq page on scorch on the site? if you have sib 3 i can send you the file...
sorry i couldn't have been more help!

attach the .sib files to the post! couldn't hurt....

I listened to "You Know NOTHING About Biology". Wow! What an exciting composition. I like the crazy time signatures that you have created; it was interesting that you would repeat a strange time signature combination several times. This allowed it to sink into the ear, to the point where it did not sound so irregular.

What I like the most is how the song has sections and development and actually builds to something. The problem with most songs is that they pretty much stay at the same dynamic level, and with the same harmonic rhythm, throughout the whole piece. Kudos for being creative with that!

My only suggestion is to always consider the piece as a whole, as well. Why are you writing it, what do you want to get across, and how do you want the listener to feel at the end of it? Sometimes I felt that the sections were wandering, and considering these questions might help that a bit.

thanks alot, and i know exactly what you are saying, the peice doesn't sound whole, it is little bits all linked together... i bring back the origial theme near then end once, and I do likewise at 2 or 3 other occasions, but you're right, it doesn't sound like the one peice - but isn't this another 'rule' I'm breaking and therefore throwing music into experimentality further? anyway, whaty you're talking about is acheived (I hope) in my return to normalcy (but still being Porg. metal) in "To Be Fair..." where is is all finished at the end, and sounds compleate.

the reason i do not want to attach the sib files themselves is that they are then subject to change, and plagarism, where on the site no one can take them, only view them.
let me know what you think of the others!
cheers

Well Paul I read your bio and Dream Theater is also my favorite band hence my name. Well I'd really like to hear your music as anything inspired by DT must be good but I also cannot seem to play it. Couldnt you atleast post midi files of your songs - I know it detracts the quality but it gets the general theme across and will let your music be heard by lots more people
