This is really really nice. Looking forward to the final version.

I've heard this elsewhere (Tess's RPM page) but got to comment again, a really lovely track. The instrumental outro is gorgeous.

actually this is a good place to comment on the piano here, which is so evocative, and guides the mood beautifully. I appreciate it more each time i hear it.

I love this mix too :-)

Gorgeous music, compliments Tess's beautiful vocal.

cooooool dude. I feel like i'm floating.

Sample heaven - listening to this whilst trying to finish something I've been working on all afternoon, and now, for some reason everything is falling into place. Great track.

very cool track here! as for freezing have you ever used GRM Tools Freeze or Riverrun? the former esp does a very nice job with any source. & thanks for the comments. as for "shook me", it had chunks processed in MetaSynth; then arranged w/more processing in DP.

Hey thanks for the compliment and the critic, that was an excellent comment. always looking for critics (it reshapes itself as work related)

@ Sister Savage. I wish I'd thought of that, but you got older than 3. Sounds like a land slip on a distant and eerie planet.

I'm listening to this track, eating my dinner by candlelight, when a lone balloon drifts down the staircase apparently unaided by human hand. Luckily I can blame a mischievous (and out of bed) 3 year old, otherwise I would be very afraid.

Very cool arrangement - And happy 100th!

very interesting, has a nice full/balanced quality well done

Yep I'm with Kirk it's all to high tech for me but it is very cool.

Not only is this really cool on its own but bonus cool points for pointing the way to some excellent future experiments. Freezing is definitely the new black.

Didn't understand a word you said about how this was done, but it sounds very cool!

~the memories of last year's wind that was blowing just yesterday~ engraved in metal~

Psycho goodness!! ;)

I love it -- it gives a very unsettled feeling :)

OK- I'm scared now! Great sounds!

Chilled. Like it.

Very cool, loved the feel of this track.

Thank you for all the kind words. @MMI: By 'mess' i refer to what I perceive as a lack of underlying structure combined with over-density. I guess I wasn't so much being pejorative about my work (although given past comments I've made I can understand why that conclusion might be reached) so much as indicating that I am aiming towards something more deliberate, more structured, and sparser. Of course whether I get there, or somewhere totally different, is quite another matter :)

nebulonicalchemy: that's a greatquestion. Glitchiness is something that is easy to understand when you already know and quite hard to describe otherwise. But here goes: A glitch is usually a minor malfunction in a system where something doesn't work quite right (but isn't a complete meltdown). So in audio terms is might be described as something that doesn't sound right, in the context of the original sound, for a brief period. The Finger is a MIDI driven effect unit that provides a number of effects suitable for creating audio glitches for example short loops, pitch shifting, comb filters, scratches and so on. The untreated audio is fed through The Finger and, when it receives appropriate MIDI, it applies an effect but only for so long as the MIDI note is being played. So you get "audio glitches" interrupting the normal playback of the piece. This piece is so convoluted that it's hard to hear a clear separation between glitch and non-glitch. I'll try and do something about that in the next piece.

This one turned out awesome.. it all fit together beautifully in the end :)

What a cool, eclectic, mix. Liked this one, especially the sound of the piano running through it and counterpointing the glitchiness.

Enjoyed this. What time signature are you experimenting with?

Beautiful.

Here's hoping Brando is the guvnor then! Great track!

Liked this a lot!

Thank you so much folks for your comments, they're very encouraging!

Oh this is good, very good. Really hoppingly glitchy. Love it.

Lovely and weird, and that's before the Toucans come in!

What glu said!

Short but sweet :)

Welcome! Love the upright bass and the ethereal jazzy feel over the dark overtones. What's that sound at the end?

Oh man I love what you've done with this, absolutely love it!

Coming back to this I still love it. Wish I could favourite it again. How you doin?

Congratulations! Awesome achievement and I like this one. It puts me in mind of Colin Garveys WooHoo song. He did that at the end of the 24hr album last year. It was also "of it's moment" and expresses some of the same feelings. Maybe you will enjoy it too!

I love this. It puts me in mind of an experiment I was thinking about to alternately record & reverse parts so you end up with an interlocking series of forward and reverse sounds. Probably turn into sonic mush but could be kind of fun. Thanks for the inspiration!
