Listening to all of this was like hearing a great album. Can't wait to try the sequencer!

Sweet! Sounds great to me. I've always wanted to try out Reaktor!

Glitchtastic!

Cool. I made once a similar piece. At least it sounded similar. I remember i tried to follow one of Messiaen's scales.

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 :)

Mess?!? I'd say the net result is genius. Super super cool.

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.

like it. sound quite ethnic in a strange way

what is glitching?

Really like this, a good balance between the glitchiness and the rest of the track. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this

Sacrilege? Bah. This is technological art in the finest tradition. Inspired.

Not at all, this is nice...and haunting. Lovely.

agree with the Sister..'victorian doll faces' should be the new title. love it!

Butchering something is only fun if you love it. :-) But no, I don't think this is butchered. I think it's complex and packed with your trademark eerie, broken Victorian doll faces.

nice ambiance!

Love the haunting piano tones in this.

I dig!

like it, everything can be made to make music

Nice sample set! I love organic sounds like this. Sounds like you're banging away on this stuff in a monastery! In my mind I can hear monks chanting in the background!

Wow what a cool sound this is great mate and thanks for your recent comment.

I feel like I'm aloft and tumbling wildly across vistas of 80's virtual reality grids as I'm listening to this like Tron meets a bad case of sunstroke. Nice use of pitch.

Cool track.

Thanks for the kind words folks, gave me a lift :)

Thanks for the nice comments my friends. I've been away (for various reasons) from music for some time and this is one of my first few forays back. Trying to recapture my spirit of adventure!

Thanks Len. Looks like I have a lot of your uploads to catch up on!

Hmmm listening in headphones there's very little movement which creates a disappointingly static impression. Something to work on.

Thanks guys, inebriated waveforms could be said to be the speciality of the house!

This does have a Sci-fi feel to it. I think it fits right in with Voyager-1 leaving our solar system.

Why thank you all, glad you like :)

Think maybe we should do an extended version one day :)

Ah that last comment was from me, didn't notice I wasn't logged in.

Like it.

Great drone, love the percussion, cool track!

I love the music and tone of this one. The way the opening draws you in, the tension of the strings, and the rising, sucking, synth almost like someone whistling across a wasteland. Yet the strings bring you back! The whole thing is more than the sum of its parts.

Drama is clearly good for you :)

That was really good Steve. One strangeness: the track is listed as being 6:16 long but stops (seemingly naturally) at 5:52.

That was awesome guys.

Has a feeling of being in between places, like looking out of the window on a long train journey. I think the drums work quite well. Good stuff, welcome back :)

I agree it's a bit shrill in places. This track is actually one of the few times I've thought I shouldn't just publish but should polish. I often struggle with this feeling and - as with this track - lose.

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I'm getting some odd distortions on playing here this morning that I didn't notice in the original (esp. since this piece doesn't play "hot"). They're not supposed to be there. Odd.
