The Hamster Alliance

Hey!

It’s my first track of 2010! :D

I haven’t felt all that inspired this year so far, but I got “California Dreaming” stuck in my head earlier today, which lead to me having, “The Sound of Silence” stuck in my head as well. Loop 20x Great.

So, I started writing a slow pop folk piano ballad to get it out of my system. What I ended up with is definitely not a pop folk piano ballad. It’s an obnoxious sort of Chiptunes + Film Score + Rock kind of sound. Dunno really. I don’t like to get too crazy over genrefication.

P.S. REMIXERS: I’ve put together a remix pack with beatmapped stems, loops and oneshots. Send me some awesome mixes! THA-Nihilist.zip

It’s been a while – a few months since the last track – but now I’m back with some uplifting chillout for that ass. So sit your keister down and relax, cause it’s about to get fed some zen.

The overall tone of this track is airy and light. The track is lead by the traditional Indian combo of Sitar and Tabla, resting on top of a hip hop beat, a simple bass guitar and several layers of ambience. Also within the mix are Russian vocals sung by my friend Larissa.

Do you remember the film The Italian Job? I’m talking about the 2003 remake, not the 1969 original. More specifically, do you remember the style of music it had?

Well, this is kind of like that. It’s orchestral film score style stuff with Middle East, Spanish and Jazz influences. There’s also a touch of electronic music in there too.

A strings ensemble, upright bass, horn and acoustic guitar alongside synths and clicky electronic drums.

Hey, got some new epic-sounding stuff here. This track is a continuation of the ideas I expressed in the tracks, “Chaos out of Nothingness” and “Ablation Cascade”.

There’s a moody cinematic quality to it all with influences being pulled from industrial and film score. The track is mostly comprised of synth drones, dissonant noise and drums. There’s also a piano, some strings and brass to balance it all out.

Influence Of Mind takes a little trip into Psychedelic Rock territory. Basically, I’ve taken some ideas from Pink Floyd and regurgitated them into my own thing. There are some other influences in there too, but whatever, you’ll notice the Floyd. :P
