Thanks for the kind words 
Thats as far as i know the 2nd time someone picked "Discuss Disgust"
The plucky piano sounds are actually just harp samples you can find in Reason as a preset combinator, but its also drenched in reverb. Most of it was done in Reason, but with some extra bass and mastering in Pro Tools.
Thanks again!
How did we get from the mysterious black box on week 51 to talking about 90's music?
oh well. 90's was the dawn of Man Is The Bastard and other power violence bands.
Very well.
I get stumped for inspiration sometimes. For week 8 I intended to do another guitar only track but with nothing planned. I think it turned out great anyways.
I got a completely oddball idea for this week. I doubt it will work buts its going to be fun trying.

One of the first compositions i made and truly enjoyed. The mix sounds pretty bad on youtube though, way too compressed and no high ends. I might get a soundcloud account soon.

This was a challenge from a facebook page about a year ago. The challenge was "can you make a Brokencyde song better than Brokencyde?" If you dont know who Brokencyde are, keep it that way, if however you are aware of this musical cancer, then you might just enjoy this, barely, The lyrics were horrible to sing, but, it was a challenge. Not electronic stuff though more lo-fi hardcore. I did all the instruments.
Last Exit- awesome crazy jazz stuff with the most insane musicial group to ever be formed, including Sonny Sharrock and Peter Brotzmann
Water Torture- 2 piece bass and drum powerviolence band. amazing debut. Google search Water Torture Grindcore Karaoke to DL the EP for free.
Oval - mid 90's glitchy stuff.
Mayhem- this norwegian black metal band, maybe you've heard of them
Samiyan - chilled hop stuff, for fans of Flying Lotus
Thanks for the honourable mention man 
glad you enjoyed it
I'm keen to make some DIY synths, sadly my knowledge so far only compasses some basic circuit bent toys.
Um...i recorded some noises/switches/hitting on a sowing machine and rearranging all the samples into a beat.
And as an extra challenge, doing it on a DAW that i haven't tried before, which would be Reaper.
I usually take it as it goes. I would like to get a band up and going. Aswell as creating electro and chilled tunes i also like grind and hardcore/powerviolence music and im currently writing some tunes now for a demo and i got a vocalist keen to shout some words.
I would like to get into stuff like homemade electronics, circuit bending and chiptune. Maybe invest in some extra synths and software programs. All this i need money for though ahaha story of my life.
Keen if i didnt live in Sydnay.
Yeah i'm considering going to the Blip Festival, saving some money for accommodation,tickets and such. Looks real good. I'm going to get LSDJ aswell, good time to start somewhere.
Thanks for the replies, i really appreciate it
If you don't mind me asking, where do you start when it comes to using sound cards from various classic gaming consoles and such to create music and put it through a midi interface?
Any books or workshops or even computer technician courses, anywhere that I can start from. So far my skills are pretty low besides basic soldering and i just started circuit bending some toys and i would like to venture more into it.
I've found a book called Homemade Electronic Music that i should get as well as some synth cartridges for the consoles i do have like the LSDJ, Cynthcart and Nanoloop.
Any help would be great, forgive my n00bness, there isn't much or really any chip tune scene in Sydney, theres plenty in Melbourne though.
Guitars, drumkit, bass, crappy synth, some circuit bent toys, Reason, Audacity and one lonely no name supercardiod microphone.
I don't have much for mastering because i've yet to get Pro Tools on my computer, so usually i also work in Audacity or Reason. When i am on Pro Tools at TAFE (college) I like to use the Stereo Widener on the Master channel input to open the track up and give it some more stereo depth without any extra equalisation, i would like to find the Audacity equal if such one exists.
Limiter is pretty much a fast-attack compression and it just keep the track from clipping, so if you already got a limiter then you don't exactly need another compression, you never want too much compression on your tracks.
Equalising also helps, I do something different for every composition and it's something that im still learning, sometimes for example i put my high mids a little bit up at around 2-4k and only at about 5dB but only if it works, and most of the time i find it works out pretty good, particularly for dance music, along with some low end tweaking. i like my mixes to be full but not exactly too thick if that makes any sense. Reverb always livens things up as well.
Mastering is the correct term. I'm only learning myself but you have got a good idea yourself. It's also good to get a decent pair of monitors to get a good audio perception, something that i am investing in myself.
