Track sound like some forest or cave exploration music...

Matter a fact I have a shyt ton of instrumentals I've made, this is my favorite one below based off an opera I heard then chopped up and sampled.

On the other hand this is the most "mature" track I've ever made
(and also the last ...I havn't made new music in awhile)


By mature what I mean is post processing, sampling, audio level manipulation, audio effects, etc. I really dug deep on this one.
Hell I based the whole track around sampling an opera I heard on NPR while driving home after thanksgiving call Margret Garner

Hear the whole Opera here
(see if you can find my samples)
​

In pre-Civil War America, few slave stories were more compelling than Margaret Garner's. She and her family were owned by a Kentucky plantation farmer, but one night they escaped to Ohio with another group of slaves.

Their hiding place was discovered, and Margaret's family was surrounded. She swore she would kill her children and herself rather than return to slavery. As her husband was dragged off, Margaret plunged a knife into her daughter. She was preparing to kill her other daughter and herself when she was seized and jailed.
....
Grammy Award-winning composer Richard Danielpour and Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison collaborated to bring this true life story to the operatic stage. Margaret Garner was co-commissioned by opera companies in Detroit, Cincinnati and Philadelphia and made its debut in May 2005 at Michigan Opera Theatre in Detroit.

I put my website back up

 

[Flywin Lannister]

I got inspired by the two thread posts listed below....

Thread 1: Grade My Site...​

Thread 2: Can the coli give me their opinion on my novel intro?​

....and wondered what other things are folks here working on.

As someone who's done a lot of game projects..

• Real time strategy game map making
• Unreal engine game mods
• Smash bros brawl custom levels
• etc etc

...one of the most annoying things is to put a mountain of time, imagination, love into something you want to share and then go through hell to get it in front of folks eyes.

So if you have something to put out there i'm personally interested in checking it out

...especially if it is art work!


NOTE: (My random thoughts on art)

Spoiler: Personal thoughts

Though I prefer original works be it theme or art style. I hate when folks give me "blackface" stuff I.E. black goku/superman/[insert whatever they grew up on here, but with black skin] type derivative works.

Actually thats something I liked about the boondocks. while the art style wasn't anything different the theme was like nothing else. Like I always say when you make something specifically for your(black folks) needs the end result is something novel(we have unique needs) which is what people buy into anyway(the best ver of what they already have or something they've never seen before.)

Example:

This is most obvious in music(and comedy). African Americans couldn't afford 50+ man orchestral teams suited and booted in a theater. If they tried it, it would've been a low budget ver of something other people were already doing. Instead the entire musical corpus that comes out of the AA community not only is structured different(jazz, blues, gospel, R&B, hip hop,house, techno) but the subject matter of the majority of the songs talk specifically about AA life and times. Yet and still it's the biggest export we have(for better or worse) and towers over other musical forms world wide.

For some reason people in other sectors never learn/apply the lessons from our musicians(comedians to a lessor extent) and instead of catering to our needs there by creating something new to share(sale) in the process, they give us mostly low budget derivative versions of stuff others are already pumping millions into. Ironically enough under the guise of trying to appeal to more than "just black people".

Awesome thread idea! Props OP
