Nice. I've been listening to ur tracks all afternoon while playing final fantasy 3.

Kewl:)  Thinking of maybe distributing some of them on Itunes/spotify etc, not as expensive as i thought 9 usd for single tracks and 50 usd for album length and then get placed on all major platforms like itunes and spotify and others i hadnt even heard about:) Doubt theres any money in it but at least its out there for real then etc and its not much of an investment for that price anyways so cant hurt:)

For those that liked the christmas song i made, i made another slow strings/choire track, put it on soundcloud here:) https://soundcloud.com/agothx/agothx-02okt-slow-movie-score?in=agothx/sets/classical-tracks

Then how do you explain crap like The A Team, The Green Hornet ( car and Kato cool, hero dweeboid ) the Dukes of Hazard, Sahara, etc. They and so many others sucked yet someone or some studio financed them.

Never seen any of those movies, vagually heard about A Team but not seen it:)

I think its because many of the people at studios aren't like the people who ran Hollywood in its golden age. They totally disregard tradition, the mythos created for years with characters ( like calling the S on Superman's suit a symbol of hope ) and do so many things that are either revisionist or politically correct or both.

Yes more or less, studios have become more profit desperate and dont put money into anything they dont see as 100% safe profit, in the 70 and 80's there was a golden age of good scifi movies because film studios dared to try out new stuff:)

Oh i know, I LOOOVED that movie when I saw it as a kid at the theaters!! One of the best movies made. Too bad they dont make good movies anymore. Ive seen 3 movies in the theaters the last month and theyve all SUCKED!!!!!!!

Yes, hard to find a good movie these days, E.T. was one of a kind.

Happy Thanksgiving littlechris.  I concur with maren about the Norman Rockwell on the wall.

Nice touch.

That image is so cool, im a HUGE fan of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, i still remember the day i walked out of the theatre at 12 years old, in awe:)

We should do some sort of campaign to make it more known, this kind of things arent known by default, probably most people arent aware yet etc.

Im really excited about art bell's Dark Matter Radio Network, people lining up to join it etc, its a new era for radio, independent streaming network:)

I love your music. Do you have it on SoundCloud or anywhere else, or just YouTube?

I'm listening to it now, after my mother just had a hysterical meltdown over the turkey. It's helping me get my blood pressure back down.

Thanksgiving is so friggin' stressful in our house. And with my dad not here, it's really sad and weird this year. I tried to talk my mom into going out to dinner or something, but she is insisting on still doing the whole shebang. And she's crying the whole time.

So mainly I'm holed up in my room watching "Cops" and popping in and out of this place.

Fun times!

Cool, lol about your mothers meltdown:) iv put some of my stuff on soundcloud, but because of the 2 hour limit id have to pay to be able to upload more,but list of mostly recent ambient&chillout tracks i made here: https://soundcloud.com/agothx/sets/ambient-chillout-tracks
and a list of more recent other electronica/trance tracks here: https://soundcloud.com/agothx/sets/electronica-trance-tracks
a few classical ones on soundcloud too but a lot missing because of the 2 hours limit. iv made about 2 hours of music just in the last 3-4 months etc

Also just uploaded another recent track i made on youtube, more ambient/chillout/electronica style:)

Agothx, may I ask what you compose on?

Sorry for the late answere but i mainly use FL Studio nowadays as sequencer, Cakewalk sonar before, and the instruments are mostly various Kontakt Libraries, and some east west quantum leap:)

Quote from: Zenman on November 26, 2013, 09:23:19 PM
Nice soundtrack, Agothx. I'm going to guess that Stravinsky and perhaps Prokofiev have influenced your composing. Good stuff.

Tnx, well definately listened to both of those a lot so influenced for sure:)

or there is some metallic sounds still, but nothing we can do anything about so just have to live with i guess

Holy Cow Art has alot of shows lined up since yesterday   

Stream is once again great. Sitting out in the company yard with a weak signal but no buffering and very clear. Way better audio than Seriously Stupid.

The audio for the current stream have been absolutely great for the last 20 minutes, was a bit metallic the first half hour or so but been great quality for a while now, im critical listener lol:)

Stream working great here too, bit metallic/compression sound etc but otherwise listenable, Art Bell would not find this audio good thou which i can understand, real humans dont sound like something made of metal plates shifting together:)

Her pic on the November 24 post is a Second Life avatar. I know because, well, *cough*, I hear that's what they look like.

OK, whatever. I'm a geek. I hang out in SL sometimes. I wish I knew who she/he is inworld, as we fondly refer to it.

hehe, im nothing less of a geek, i visited seconf life a few times but ended up in entropia universe if you know it, its similar in some ways, played that heavily over the years. Also visited Active worlds heavily in the early days, active worlds was like a second home and world for me back 15 years ago or so:)

This is SO beautiful, Agothx! Thank you for sharing it.

Just happy to, glad you liked it:)

An off/On air thing in the top, either in the top banner to the right of the logo, or above the list of shows would do so much better, generaly that the stram link stood out and easy to spot.

Tuesday 5pm PST / 8pm EST
The Spec Sheet w/MV and Curtis

Show starts im about 1 hour 45 mins.

The "Currently Off The Air" on Art's page will change to "Now on Air" or something like that, then it becomes clickable and you can listen, or you can just use the "Gabcast" link at the top of this page and listen, Remember it is "Spec Sheet" show not Gabcast show.

Art has the "On Air" link set to open about 15 minutes before the hour.

Ya i see that, but my best idea would be to put that also on the top right of the page so it doesnt drown in text, so that new visitors will immediately see it, like a 'thing' of itself instead of beeing inside a text block, i have long experience as a webdesigner myself and mostly worked with advertising companies, so this is a thing that is easy to spot for me, the best sollution to it i cant tell but how it is now i can tell doesnt work very well

Just lovely, Agothx.  I'm not usually a fan of electronic music, but your soundtracks are exceptional.  I just tried reading last night's Seraphim27 post about her father while listening to your Christmas song soundtrack.  Oh my...transcendent.

If you like, give it a try and see what you think.

tnx, and wow that was a really great read:)

Just Uploaded one of my recent tracks on youtube, which is a slow orchestral&choire christmas song, maybe too early to upload in november but what the heck lol:

Velkommen, min venn.  (I don't speak Norwegian, just a quick babelfish translation, I hope it's correct.)   Your musical scores are outstanding!   I listened to both the dramatic UFO one (in full tempo, I like it best) and the second one you linked, "bellisimo."  The grand cinematic atmosphere in both of these is beyond impressive. 

If one of the "Dark Matter" podcasters doesn't try to engage you in a BIG hurry to provide some original musical content for their shows, they are going to be missing out on a wonderful thing.   The evocative nature of your music suits the paranormal themes of "Dark Matter" podcasts so beautifully, both your darker tone in the UFO sequence, and the lilting, mystical tone in your "bellisimo." 

You are so talented!  Post often, your English is excellent.

Thanks a lot lonevoice, i really appreciate that, i would probably not say no if i got an offer to make something, wouldnt take any money for either as i never done, always made music only for fun:) iv been making music for 10-15 years but lately more of a massive production of 40 tracks in the last half year or so, mix of orchestral and electronica songs:)
The babelfish translation is correct, if the original is  "Welcome, my friend"

For the most part i think a host can surf trough a show just reflecting the guest, but to be good need at least a couple good question points and critical questioning, which art bell is the master of. Noory had shows like that but become rarer and rarer and its mostly surf trough without any criticality(new word?) nowadays

Quote from: littlechris on November 26, 2013, 01:31:26 PM
Same here, i wont go close to the radio if I know Snoorey will be on. I did hear a little of Knapps interview the other night on the dyatlov pass. Ill try to listen to Batemans interview tonight.

Personally i listen to noory now and then if the guest is interesting, some guests i will hear no matter who the host is etc, i prefer knapp over noory thou, and sad that ian punnet had to quit. I listened to noory for a few years but he did get worse and worse, he wasnt that bad in the beginning etc, at least had some good shows, but over time he seems to be listening less and less and asking more and more standard questions that doesnt jive with whats beeing said

That music is a bit too ominous. I expect the alien axe murderers to land and start hacking away at any minute.
Nice job on the animation though.

Yout right, i made the track before the animation as an attempt to make a sortof horror movie score like thing and made the animation after and guess made a bit ominous version of it for the animation, but i mostly make much 'nicer' music, like this:)

nice work, Agothx

Tnx, i thought it would fit in a dark matter forum as well, i make a lot of music and 3d but think this actually fits here so:)

The animation didnt come up as a embedded link but here it is, its quite simple but the entire scene is rendered frame by frame, no background image in use etc:

Short UFO animation i made recently for fun in maya 3d, and score made in fl studio:)

the full score is almost 5 minutes long, in its original tempo here:
Dramatic movie score like classical track i made a couple days ago
