Flume generally is able to bridge that gap, but his structure are more variated and loose than what most listeners are used to. If the average listener can't expect or follow a rhythm easily, they lose interest. It's not "bad" of course, but to the average listener, it does sound random at points. Flume is one of the few artists in electronic music that can be hard to listen to sometimes, especially if you're looking for a groove oriented style.
I would agree, I wouldn't call myself great but I make a living off production. Nothing is "wrong", but following formulas and intentionally breaking them gives new experimentation, but it doesn't always sound good to the listener.īut that doesn't always come off as a "clean" sound, sometimes its intentionally jarring, which sounds "wrong" to ears, just like Flume does at points.Īny competent producer will tell you that's a precise trial and error process Sure, the same way people use dissonance and intentionally stack chords to have clashing tones together.
You can't ignore a track and then say your point stands lol I'd challenge you to show me something from HTIF that's "random" outside of the intro track. I'm not trying to be an ass, just trying to explain that it's a creative process more than a randomization. Calling that "edgy" is a wild misuse of the word.Īlso, happy cake day. It's part of what makes Flume incredibly talented, and it's hard work getting something that sounds as good as that mixtape did.Įxperimentation for the purpose of only breaking the rhythm is kind of edgy, especially in most popular electronic music.Ĭompletely unqualified statement, Flume experiments for the sake of his art. It's not as arbitrary as you're making it sound. Any competent producer will tell you that's a precise trial and error process, he doesn't roll a die every six beats or flip a coin every two. He picks a beat skip or kick change every Nth beat, and subtly moves or rearranges it. Experimentation for the purpose of only breaking the rhythm is kind of edgy, especially in most popular electronic music. In no way is that bad, but it is certainly random, and can in my opinion of course, come off as "edgy" sometimes. It somewhat sticks to the time of the rest of the track (downbeats), but everything else sounds very loose, it doesn't fit in the normal pocket you'd expect. It's obviously not like OP said, a "9 year old in FL Studio", it's methodical, but to your ears, when you're used to a certain format and consistent quantization and then a track goes off on a completely different focus, that's random.Įven this track, the drums rhythm is constant, and then you have that syncopated lead come in around 49 seconds. To an audience not used to that, it's going to sound disjointed and random. I'm not trying to pick an argument here, but experimental is, by nature untested and inventive ideas.
