Medley & The Yellowphonic Ensemble

I haven't been on this forum for a very long time. This is what I've been upto, it'd be good to get a bit of feedback. The album is built up of many, many samples a bit like The Avalanches.

Dude, I don't have time to listen to the whole album right now, but your leading track here is sick. This is great sample work. TBH I didn't think people could get away with this kind of thing anymore!

I'd be comfortable calling this IDM. Is that the market you're after?

Thanks for listening man. Hope you get time to listen to more.

I never thought about IDM when making this album but if the badge fits, I suppose I'll wear it!

Can anybody else spare time to listen?

If you like, post your music here and I'll give you some feedback too...

This is really really great, I listened to most of the album and will come back to it to listen to the rest tomorrow. It's the sort of thing DJ Shadow should be doing nowadays (but isn't!). I wouldn't call it IDM as such, it's more of a sound collage. Do you struggle to find stuff all in the same key or do you do some studio tuning/trickery to get it to all fit together?

Thanks for taking the time to listen. I'm a big DJ Shadow fan (especially his old stuff) so that's good to hear! Due to the vast amount of samples I had organised, I generally found stuff which naturally fell in the same key. Occasionally, I had to tune.
