I couldn't concentrate on the music because of the creepy ass signature! But it was awesome! It could be 5% more awesome though!

It's a good listen. I feel it needs more rhythmic fill-ins and better transitions. The sudden cuts sort of take away from the nature of the piece. A nice modern style though, but there always room for improvement.

Well, hate to disappoint you but...that's technically not real music...

Actually the only samples used were for the drums, the rest was made with midi and VST's and I do not believe that your above statement is true. When you say that, you are saying that Daft Punk doesn't make music; a lot of dubstep (which is a GENRE of music, that might be a shock to you) utilizes a lot of samples and loops. Basically when you say that tracks using only samples and loops, you are insulting A LOT of musicians. Trying to define what real music is, an art tagged with such a loose definition, is absurd. What you are saying is like saying a collage isn't real art because the artist pulled different pieces of imagery from various sources (or one source) and put them together in such a way to create something of his/her own.

 

" Art - The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power."

 

Music, being an art, can be defined as anything from banging on pots and pans to singing to playing an instrument. Any sound made can be considered music. Mixing loops and samples together IS music. It is like what a collage is to the visual artist. What you are saying is that for something to be considered real music it must fall under some certain guideline(s). The definition I quoted above says that art is "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination". When someone creates a song with only loops and samples, they use their creative skills and imagination. The creative processes are still at work. It's an auditory collage. The musician finds samples and loops that fit the criteria for what he or she wants to create (what they have in their imagination) and puts them together in such a way, so what they imagined comes to life.

Not saying that mixing loops is not music. I believe that loops are "idea starters" that help someone to form the draft. I was classically raised so...I guess my classical nazi got in the mix of things...hehe...puns.

I play the piano, bass, vibraphone, and some guitar too. And I use a mix of midi recorded stuff I play, a long with sampling,

I play piano too! I use Finale 2012 with Garritan instruments. I sometimes use WavePad or Audacity to add cool stuff to certain instruments, or add sound effects.
