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.

This is cool with an occasional nod to a reggae beat. Your bass parts are very pronounced and on the spot and the reggae beat has returned.... Police!

A sense of Roxy Music in this and for a home recording has a very nice present feel Ben. Congratulations on new work after a year long, it happens, sometimes as in my case with another muse coming to surface. I'm glad you returned! Thanks too for your recent listen to my ukulele piece and the kind words.

Lovely melancholy and lyricism btwn recover and take ii with tongue and cheek intensity in Prayer, all interesting and my first hearings of your music in all this time on Alonetone Sudara. Thanks for this and for what you do in providing Alonetone for all of us with no expectations. Thanks too for listening to my track from Good Friday recently and the kind words. I am in turn and nice to hear what you do as well.

Marley thanks for the kind words re my Gentle Dark. Excellent that you too are working with Pure Data. Your evolving bubble like raising tonal glissandos are like bubbles from the ocean floor and the occasional 'noise' element winds, waves are cool. The continual weaving voice in this is very inventive - check out the Sound-In community on Facebook - we are small but long running group of creative composers working in a supportive atmosphere. I'm not as active right now as I'm working with another muse but will return.

Jim it's great where things that you will utilize become such potential instruments. The higher linear voice is cool and exotic here. Good piece!

a subtle arcade video game or maybe signals from a radio telescope

Wild, Bill! Like falling in a vortex and the heartbeat I didn't note on first listen!

lovely, one of your more sobering 'Tolkin' like pieces.

Really like this Kavin - I can hear it. Haunting and sterile!

this is really cool and I don't recall it Kavin. First thought you were working with your Koto.

Rich song - lovely and weighty!

Good piece! Groove that develops is sweet and making me think of Weather Report a little.

melancholy and looking in the water

Will of the whisp and slipping out the door mystery!

some nice dirthy chords and colors and cool modulations

Liquid space Bill, fluid and magical!

Kavin one of your bests! Lovely - the opening acoustic is artful and the emergence of the electronics is subtle and sweet, love the long trail on it.

feels like under a shed out of a downpour and everything in the distance.

great sense of growing rhythm and a sound of strumming at times and electronic noise and then the wind... inventive Jim.

has a sitar like feel that sounds like going through a wahwah or some such. Like the edge of it K...
