:D I love trip hop. Not many people on this site sport it.

Seems to be a declining genre nowadays, don't hear much of it.

and yes, hard to find trip-hop supporters on here; even hip-hop for that matter.

yeah it seems that furries tend to go for trends (for example: dubstep)

hip hop and trip hop, hell even glitch barely gets real notice around here. whenever I see music progressing I see it progress through more textural genres like such

I dunno I think you can apply the trends to the general public

for instance how you start hearing more house/electro and even dubstep play on stations more while its been around for years

I, Sy, won't lie, I've had the occasion where I've had the urge to - and have - produced more "trendy" genres.

But this is where my heart and mind will always be.

I find it funny that you bring up Glitch, we're working out a track with a glitch.. feel? texture? Style works I suppose.

I know of some producers that apply the trends with their own style really well (ie. Glitch Mob); we need more of that on the radio. I'm quite tired of listening to these poorly produced pieces - Selena Gomez haunts my every waking moment; Rihanna's "We Found Love" haunts the sleeping ones.

Anyway I love your layering on your music! especially the more textural the better <333
I've been dinking around with more compression and lowpass filters as well as granular synthesis to achieve that lush fullness

Without texture it'd just sound like everything else. To me the texture helps to make the music.

I'm not looking at the project file to say how the textures came out. I know we use a ton of compression, filters and sidechaining. As subtle as it may be.

you're fortunate to have someone to work with closely on this, do ya'll work on it together in person or what?

We try to, but with life and all it's oddities and hectic-ness it just doesn't happen sometimes.

And I suppose we are fortunate, always good to have someone to bounce ideas off of.
