So first things first, a song I made using ableton. It's a sort of DnB with dubstep influence, with some vocal samples thrown in.

First person to get where the vocal sample is from, I'll throw you a $15 iTunes gift card. I tried to give it away in a previous blog but it didn't work out (aka, iNc didnt want to do a BO3 for a $15 gift card, lol can't blame him).
I made the song using Ableton Live trial version. As an amateur music maker, I have used a few programs (Garage Band, Frooty Loops, and some other), and Ableton Live is by far the most amazing. After doing a few tutorials, the learning curve isn't THAT steep (especially if you've used programs like it before), and it has some really incredible built in features. If it didn't cost damn near $1000 I would buy it... but alas I am unemployed 
Anyways, I would love some feedback on the song. It's nothing professional, I did it for fun, and I don't know if I'll go back to making this style of music any time soon. But either way, it would be cool to see what yall think about it!

Dr. Breen on instinct:
Let me read a letter I recently received. "Dear Dr. Breen. Why has the Combine seen fit to suppress our reproductive cycle? Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen.
Thank you for writing, Concerned. Of course your question touches on one of the basic biological impulses, with all its associated hopes and fears for the future of the species. I also detect some unspoken questions. Do our benefactors really know what's best for us? What gives them the right to make this kind of decision for mankind? Will they ever deactivate the suppression field and let us breed again?
Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns, rather than try to answer every possible question you might have left unvoiced. First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, immortality is in our reach. This simple fact has far-reaching implications. It requires radical rethinking and revision of our genetic imperatives. It also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition to our neural pre-sets.
I find it helpful at times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is Instinct. Instinct was our mother when we were an infant species. Instinct coddled us and kept us safe in those hardscrabble years when we hardened our sticks and cooked our first meals above a meager fire and started at the shadows that leapt upon the cavern's walls. But inseparable from Instinct is its dark twin, Superstition. Instinct is inextricably bound to unreasoning impulses, and today we clearly see its true nature. Instinct has just become aware of its irrelevance, and like a cornered beast, it will not go down without a bloody fight. Instinct would inflict a fatal injury on our species. Instinct creates its own oppressors, and bids us rise up against them. Instinct tells us that the unknown is a threat, rather than an opportunity. Instinct slyly and covertly compels us away from change and progress. Instinct, therefore, must be expunged. It must be fought tooth and nail, beginning with the basest of human urges: The urge to reproduce.
We should thank our benefactors for giving us respite from this overpowering force. They have thrown a switch and exorcised our demons in a single stroke. They have given us the strength we never could have summoned to overcome this compulsion. They have given us purpose. They have turned our eyes toward the stars.
Let me assure you that the suppressing field will be shut off on the day that we have mastered ourselves...the day we can prove we no longer need it. And that day of transformation, I have it on good authority, is close at hand.

Yup starparty got it, with class.
|
well i could've copy pasted a wiki too.... >_>
|
Lol, but you said "dr. wallace or whatever" when his name is actually Dr. Breen.
But anyways, Starparty is from sweden so the gift card might not work for him. I'll send it to you if he can't use it. :D
|
Gatsbi was first, i just narrowed it down abit. He knew it without google 
And yes, it probably doesnt work. we tried last time, remember?
|
<3, I'm actually going to pick up a DnB album with that giftcard most likely too! haha
