DirtyWave M8ness

I really like the drums on this track.

This is somehow both very pretty and anxiety-inducing. I think it's the murky reverbs and sliding frequencies. Perfect nightmare music.

Hey thanks! For the drumloop, I created and sampled a break into the M8 but it had a ton of high frequency hiss, so I used a pretty heavy-handed cutoff on the filter to get rid of it. Still pretty noisy though.

Nice! Perfect nightmare music is high praise! Yeah, it is pretty muddy with pitch bends, reverb and delays and I thought I might add a lead, but left it out because I felt there was enough going on already. Thanks for checking it out.

Yeah it is still noisy but it has character. And I really like how you change the groove up throughout.
