has an Alan Watts sample in it that discusses the vanishing of the hand when lacking background. as i wanted to keep my hand, i gave some background to the song, and as a result it is pretty well-layered.
i was wondering how you think you write…
@NebulonicAlchemy: thanks for your elaborate reply. i believe we think along the same lines. i know about the acid-experiments and stuff - a lot of the pioneering work for that has been done right here in the Netherlands.
i've gotten so used to making music while high, that it has become normal for me. have to do something about that, as, like you said, too much of anything is never right.
title just came up, cause i was thinking of that song 'if you leave me now, you take away the biggest part of me... oehwoehwooeehooe no baby please don't go...'
i tried spending some more time than usual detailing everything and finding a balance…
thank you all for the positive comments.
i was wondering: do people around here ever make less-positive comments? is it just OK to say you liked something, and not to say you didn't? or if you didn't like it, you just don't comment? 'just throwing this out there'...
if anyone has anything less positive to say, and can nevertheless say it in a positive way ('opbouwende kritiek' in Dutch, would translate as 'supportive criticism'?): bring it to me.

i am working on my new website, as the old one has dissapeared and it did not have any of my music on it (only drawings and writings). right now there is no content aside from the site itself. you might want to check it out; things move and stuff, it's great. find it at http://www.roaldblijleven.net .
literal English translation: 'it presses in my head', because of that feeling you sometimes have that something is pressing against the inside of your skull.
i wish to bring this track under attention.
i started on alonetone uploading a whole bunch of songs, but seems only the latest are being listened. so expect more of this.
was making music tonight when my dog started barking for no reason, but mild paranoia convinced me of the possibility that i did not hear anything outside of my headphones. i then made this song...
...
actually, i already had the song half-finished…

made this tonight, while smoking, as always.. title is explained by the lyrics combined with (very intellectualy) my use of the numbers from the fibonacci-sequence for note-pitch values of a couple of instruments.
the fibonacci-sequence, if you are unaware, is created by taking the sum of the last two numbers in the sequence, where the result is the next number, starting from zero. So, 0,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89 - and so on.
this sounds great. i especially enjoy the hi-hats in the back. and sounds you some reversed sounds as well, which i like. great atmosphere. very well balanced.
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows.
I was pretty tired after finishing 3am chill, and had to mess round for ages mangling loops and trying out different things before…
i can feel the vibe of wanting to go to bed, especially in the bpm-changes. i think the drums are a bit loud and present(could also be my system - listening on laptop now) and pretty monotonous.

oh, i had no idea *that stuff* could be caused by the headphones. time to restate my assumptions!
i think it could be boring, somewhere in the middle... repetetetetive.

nice radiohead-like chord-procession, and i like the electronic creatures beeping away; it sweeps nicely, and i can understand the title very well.
