this is pure joy,.. it has such a twang that gets emphasized by some kind of tape manipulations it is amazing --- thanks for the upload-

great work pure data is kinda difficult for me to make massive constructions due to the complexity of the details that have to be correct when working with it but pure data is a great program -- :)

Lovely atmospheric sound on an instrument that has always intrigued me.

great 000 it has a kind of textured effects to it.

My first experience with a mountain dulcimer was one that was refretted with glued on bits of wire to make each step 65 cents instead of the usual 100 cents. I like your calming playing. It is like a conversation with friends by a fire under the starry sky.

This has a distant, lonesome, Ry Cooder-like feel. Like driving through the desert.

Sounds like something I might've done with my fretless, back in the old tape days. Lovely!!

just excellent --- this is art for me-- I love this. --- :)

Crazy cool

wow-- just intense this is--

this has some interesting turns going on and looping too.-- so this was a physical thing with tapes. -- great. lots of work here /// I might make things like this with my tape collection after I have them digitized I guess--

I never know what to say on these... except "interesting listen"... And this one was... I've also discovered they make a good soundtrack to working at home... not what I was expecting at all!

Not sure what is going on, but your tracks definitely sound interesting

great.. this is sounding more experimental then avant garde .. not that I have ever been able to tell the difference them at times- What were those original words you spoke.. I sorta think I know what you said but yeah Have to make sure.

I hadn't realised Colleen was listening same time... I was off checking out Mary Oliver... but yes, after the initial scratchiness that I got used too, I agree, very quickly the cacophony did seem "normal" to me and even commonplace... and the poem Egrets (I had to look up what an Egret was, I didn't know! I knew the word, but not that it was a white bird) ... that kinda emphasised it... there was magical, but normal, and natural, stuff going on, and even the cacophony itself was natural - as in not necessarily man-made - the thorns and mosquitos...

I read the description and thought "ummmm, ok"... and, indeed, it did start like that for me. But then it was strangely compelling.

Somehow this is a perfect representation of how "noisy" our daily lives are, and how the cacophony seems almost normal.... Cool stuff here

I started listening to this the day before but had to do something it was getting off to a great start --- I am back to finish.. and listen to the beginning again..

subtle creativity going on .. it is most minimal in nature I like that --- I will post here with I said on the fb group..--- yeah not other.. worldly but between that other worldly and this worldly-- It is .. intense I find the saw sound often with feedback 'extreme' delay settings on the supernova. 0--0 I have come to look for the buzzsaw = sound in the digital delay settings on my machine. It is a balance of feedback and feedthru that makes it what it is. for me. this is a great because I hear my sounds there too. but this is totally controlled and out of flux where when I make the buzzsaw .. it is in constant change .. with nothing regular about it at all .. yours it the regularity that sets the song apart.

nice stuff. here.

Wow! Feels like the ice and the quiet! Nice to be in a collab with you guys - thanks for doing Kavin!

this sounds like a lazy summer afternoon under the magnolias! Lovely!

Haunting Chris, as it should be! Viola and layering sounds really good!

Guitar lines and spiritual beat in this creating cool mood! Rhythm very steady and infectious!

Great piece Kavin and gosh, sad news, had not heard Zakir died. What a passionate spirit and great loss! Very touching tribute in your foundational sense of the tabla pulse and interplay of appearing textures. Happy holidays to you!

This is excellent Chris! Violin and violas are very intriguing. At times they remind me of myself and violin attempts in vanity! That said I like what you are doing!

New and unusual for you! Textures on this first made me think you’d gotten an accordion which the harmonica is sort that family. Sounds very cool K!

Nice collection of electronic pieces and well connected.

low mix of the street like ensemble drums makes this really flow!

Dangling crystals and ambient light.

Sargent Pepper and dig the guitar lines and sense of the bedroom recording possibly!

Forgive me. All this time of hanging around Alonetone I don't believe I have ever listened to your music Sudara. Lovely and much color and just comes to a natural end. Thanks for creating this place to let us all just freely upload and be.

weight of the Texas heat as it's probably been! Seriously introspective and cool textures start to finish!

That's great! Has a relaxed drifting feeling in the repeated guitar loop/phrase and though drums might come up a tad I like them where you have them. Good vibe Darryl!

It's like an art song or something from a modern opera Chris! Well done!

Agree! The best and a reflection to the old days when you, Steve or me would do that regularly. I miss the energy from those times but it's still very cool that a handful of us remain. Anyhow Kavin there are several figures in this that really give a steady weave throughout. Well done!

Was this meant for Int'l Drone Day and the associated critter I recently learned of the 'cicada'? As I'm nearing the end I think it is and think it's great Kavin! Great ending of ending sort of hanging.

Feels like blasting off to 'Lost in Space' and lovely when the electric piano like keys come in!

That's awesome! What a reflective space Kavin!

Sets the stage for spring breaking well Chris. Lovely swells in the guitar(s) and vocal works well slightly buried in the mix, gives it all a nice flowing feeling!
