MvM
  

I'm a 17-year-old male and I'm looking to make some (moderately [can't get my hopes up too much, can I?])  cool electronic music. My favorite subgenres of electronica are rave, house, trance, happy hardcore, and drum 'n' bass, but I've only made songs in four of those genres--all except for rave (my first rave track is in the works, and is still sounding like generic rave :3 ). If you review anything of mine, I WILL review something of yours, too. Or two, depending on how I'm feeling at the moment. <:P If you've reviewed something of mine recently, you'll have noticed that I haven't reviewed you back yet. Trust me: I WILL get you your reviews. I'm not a greedy dilweed, I have standards, despite my teenagerness. I'm not that good at producing yet, nor do I have the time or money to make anything groundbreaking, but give me a break, I'm a teenager without a job who just earned his driver's license in August '06. ;)  I DO have the full versions of ACID Music Studio 6.0 and FL Studio 6 (Producer's Edition), though (thanks, Xmas!), so no more free software crap for me. I'm hoping to eventually get Reason and the full version of the Vanguard VSTi.

 

 

History?   Um... <.< >.>

 

 

Me, Myself, and I, and mi computadora del mundo. The music and production side is MvM, sometimes with other samples and vocals, as well; the vocal side is Kamunt. Some other outside help may occasionally added, too...

 

 

Mainly techno-y stuff, but just about everything is electronic. Substyles include hardcore techno, happy hardcore, house, trance, speedcore, breakbeat, and drum 'n' bass, rave, et al. Maybe even some hip-hop, trip-hop, or guitar and/or piano-based stuff here and there.

Not many skills yet...I'm still just getting into music-making and the like, but I'm sure I'll get better as I go along (and as I get more money). I've only done one collab as of this writing, and it was only with vocals with some lyrical input-creativity, so I don't really know how good I'd be at collabs, but meh. I'm steadily gravitating away from full-on loop-fests, and my feel for beats has vastly improved as a result. I'm still working on getting more of a feel for melodies and the like, as evidenced by my beta Highest Mountain release. Maybe I'll just need to wait until next year, when I take AP Music Theory...*shrugs*
