That's some setup. I envy you 'cos although I've had quite a lot of synths, I never had the luxury of owning them simultaneously (always had to flog one to buy the other) - lol I'd hang-on to those old analogs if I were you, always an investment!

@TheBryster
Is that a good idea ;-) ...I gotta learn guitar sometime - dunno when though.

Ok you asked for it - I downloaded your music and here's my opinion (which you should totally ignore)!

Well, the first tracks are kinda like ambient/electro/experimental or something. I do like the ideas in them, and I liked that feeling of "peace" halfway through "Floating Point". On the minus side, I think they're lacking a melody (though this was probably your intention). When I heard them, they instantly put me in mind of "Monokini" (see below). I thought wow at first, but as they progressed, I was expecting a more "animated" chord progression if not a melody, but neither happened.
I can't help feeling that they'd be so much better, if only you'd use a more varied chord sequence.

As for the Death-Metal tracks, now your really asking something 'cos I never thought I'd find myself even attempting to listen to one :-) That's a compliment by the way, because I actually quite liked the last track (your Solo Jam), even though Death-Metal is not my cup of tea. You've certainly got that sound of "Chaos" down to a fine art though - I'll give you that ;-)

I've dug-up some links here for you. I've posted two bands, Monokini and Nichya.

I've posted Monokini because I want you to see why your music put me in mind of their music. If you animate your chords more, and add some melody, I think you could get a similar thing going - assuming you liked it of course.

I've posted Nichya because they mix synth and acoustic - just as you're doing. And their music tends to have that air of chaos ;-)

BTW, did you like the Slava video?
