Title: I made a track named Blockchain
Post by: okahira on November 02, 2012, 04:36:26 PM
Hi, everybody. I'm from China. I have learnt bitcoin and started reading this forum since last year but this is the first time I post a thread here. I have been introducing and promoting bitcoin in Chinese "twitter" called Weibo for a little while and this time I tried to combine it with my another hobby, music composing, and successfully actracted some attention in my amateur musician circle.

It may sound a little experimental and I'm not professional.
Just post it here not sure if anyone like it.

EDIT: I'm selling my another track on coinDL https://www.coindl.com/page/item/506 (https://www.coindl.com/page/item/506)

Deep House! Big like from me! ;)

Fruity Loops? Reason? Ableton?

Maybe to add vocal at second part of the track, occassionaly saying "Blockchain" and / or "Bitcoin"?

Thank you! I think it's a great idea!
I'm learning FL Studio now.
I've never touched any vocal stuff before but I'm just about to try it.

Usually I'm not into Deep House/Trance, and more into Dubstep (I enjoy the assault on my ears) but this was great :) I'd love to see an animation made that is basically the Blockchain growing to the beat of this.

I'm in electronic music from 1985. I even produced dozens of tracks, and some of them made it to 12" vinil and CDs. There is probably
no subgenre I missed since than, and most of them I found cool in one way or another. But Dubstep ... I just can't listen it for more than
few minutes, regardless of who produced it - big names or unknowns. It lacks all elements which make me enjoy listening some music.

Wow! I even had not been born then. Have you listened any UK Dubstep yet? Is it more atmospheric? Maybe you will like this one http://soundcloud.com/dubstep/jigsaw-by-mimi-page-affecting-noise-remix (http://soundcloud.com/dubstep/jigsaw-by-mimi-page-affecting-noise-remix)

Welcome! I hope China Bitcoin usage takes off soon. I would think there would be a lot of demand and use for a truly private currency there. Maybe you can tell us more about how you are using it.

Good job on the track, too!

Well, for now, I'm using it for no more than long term investment and small payment like bitcoin magazine.
There could be a possible use for online gambling which is illegal in China but it's still under discussion.
Maybe the widest use is for savings as Chinese people love savings but I think it's difficult in current phase of bitcoin.

There are many Chinese guys in this forum and some of them have become Hero Member like finway (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=40315) and HorseRider (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=43369).
If you are interested in any thing about bitcoin in China, you can try to contact with them.

BTW, there is a Chinese bitcoin portal named btcman (http://btcman.com/) being set up recently, regularly translating English news and articles to Chinese.
I think it's great!

I just like my eardrums being used in all their capacity. It's not entirely what I consider music, but I still enjoy it. Also, still an awesome track you made :3

Indeed, as Substrata already said, this is a very good deep house track. I like the background echo effects you applied. You made a very good choice of synthetic instruments to compose the track.

Soundcloud classified the track as ambient. I am a former dj specialized in ambient/lounge music and definitively this is not ambient. It is only and solely deep house.

Well done!

Thank you! You're right. Actually I'm not so famaliar with much electronic music genres. It's not so popular in China and I'm still learning. I just listened a few and then try to make my own. I didn't even know what I was creating just thinking that I had added some ambient elements in it so tagged it as ambient. I've changed it now. Thanks for your advice.
