Twitter Sounds #04

Posted by EricThoolen on January 30, 2010. Filled under Everything else...,Music and Video.

Since I am present on Twitter with my account I am following Matthew Davidson. How this happened I have no idea. I have no recollection of how I got to follow so many other people. But, …. I do. Matthew makes videos, music, sounds, Max patches, etc. under his alias ‘Stretta‘.

But anywho, last week I got a notice that Matthew started following me on my Soundcloud account. In return I visted his Stretta Soundcloud account. And here I found something so beautiful I have to share it with you. I started to listen to his Brood XI set (EP). A very light, soft, romantic set of tracks with a main part for piano. It reminded me of my musical heroes Sigur Ros and Wim Mertens. Listening to Brood XI gave me such a great feelin, just fantastic!

Allthough this a strict personal opinion, I would advise you to visit his Soundcloud page and take a listen to Matthews set.

Already my third post on the music that I found through my interactions on Twitter. Like mentioned before, to me Twitter is a big pool of experiences. Many of which is music and people who made that music. Below are again some findings I find more then good (like great!) and definately worth checking out:

Enjoy these great musical beauties!

New remix finished

I just finished my entry into the Röyskopp – Tricky Tricky remix contest. I really enjoyed this one, as I enjoyed the James Yuill remix. It is very cool to have the opportunity to work with high quality vocals.

Music found through Twitter – #02

I have mentioned before that Twitter is like a big pool of unlimited information. Many people share their like and dislikes on so many subjects. My personal favorit is when people share their love for music. I LOVE music. For me it is exciting to find new artists recommended by other Twitter members. So here are (again) several music tips that I really enjoyed. Maybe you will too!?

Winning remix in the James Yuill contest

Yes, yes. This turns out to be a great week for my music. First I get featured at Tara Busch’s Analog Suicide Free MP3 Monday. And yesterday I got an email from FilterMagazine that I have been chosen by James Yuill himself as the winner of the ‘No Pins Allowed’ remix contest. What an honour! If you don’t know the original it is a poppy, dancy, electro track. My remix continued on that and I made a full blown dance remix for it.
