Song Title: Faust Artist: Evil Genius URL: https://soundcloud.com/anevilgenius Genre: Dubstep? Maybe? Prodigyesque. File Size: Stream (sry, couldn't find a download option). Song length: 05:50 Hello - Here is the first song from my Evil Genius project, called Faust (named after a classic 1926 horror movie/story). It's got a dubstep style rhythm, but with more of a melodic theme. It's quite soundtracky I'm told, and like something out the Matrix, but totally evil sounding. I spent a lot of time on the mix, and I realise this is stream only (if anyone could give advice on where and how to upload an mp3 that would be great) but feedback on the mix would be much appreciated, along with general thoughts on the song itself. Bonus points for spotting 3 fairly obscure samples! Evil Genius is about tongue-in-cheek darkness, loudness, and noise. Play in the dark, play loud, and indulge your inner evil.

You've got some really good ideas. The beats are great and the stereo panorama stuff in the latter 3rd of the track is fun. I'm not sure what sampling rate you're using for the stream but things do sound a bit muddied. (it might be my headphone setup -- not sure) I think the thing that helps most to build tension these kind of (HorrorStep?) tracks is space. The listener needs time to get into the track and sort of immerse themselves in the sonic textures of the piece. Your track gets into the beats early on and kind of spoils that (IMHO) very necessary immersion. Of course, the whole point is not for music to be formulaic -- I really like what you've got going on -- keep it up!
