Hey Igor. Yeah there's something a little disturbing about those shrill shrieks towards the end, kind of like some flying be-tentacled monsters happily chasing their prey ;-)

This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building.
It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…
I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
I elected to pursue my theme for RPM 2010 even though, ultimately, I decided not to take part.
So I'm going at my own pace, not trying to produce "finished" works, or to be governed by anything except my experimental muse.
The theme I chose…
Still playing with my _Neurotik_ sequencer made using Max for Live. This one turned out a bit strange. I was actually using it to drive Kontakt with cello & violin patches.
It was sort of interesting but not quite working when I dropped CamelSpace…
This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…
I seem to have problems streaming tracks on here these days unfortunately, but fortunately that means I download them to listen. This track was incredibly relaxing to listen to. I felt as if I'd returned to the safety of the womb.
Wonderful...thanks!!!
Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…

This is the first of several songs in a collaboration with Laura Kepner-Adney. Laura has a beautiful voice and a gift for arranging music. It is an exciting project with more to come.
Featuring Ryan Anderson on harmonica.
Lyrics:

After several listens I am better able to describe my reactions. I love the way you let the track build up in it's own time, unhurried. I love the sound, the rhythm, and the desolate, but stoic, feelings you evoke. Kudos to both of you!

Another in my series of evolving sonic noise experiments.
The source for this piece was a recording from my latest Reaktor instrument [TMA-2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyEEW-tCNL4) with a sample map constructed from [Richard Devines](http…
@NebulonicAlchemy: I've no recollection of the conversation you're talking about. I use a lot of effects in Live and Logic so it doesn't sound like me.
My point is about creating an arrangement where there is more control over sonic density. Particularly intense points should not be clustered together or they become overwhelming.
I think the issue is with taking a single, long, piece of audio and trying to treat give it a different structure.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
If you read my post in that thread I talked about one of my tracks being downloaded over & over again by Chinese spammers/spambots. This is that track.
Jason Sloan and I recorded this track in March 2010 as an improvisation in preparation for our performances on The Vigil all-night music festival at MICA. Jason describes the session:
"Erik and I come from very different backgrounds in our approach…
Another slice of Reaktor based weirdness from the particle collider ensemble I am tentatively naming TMA-2.
You can't tell from how it sounds I guess but the latest development is that particle energy now governs velocity, i.e. more energetic…
The samples were not carefully chosen just a few random snippets I had lying around and some vocal samples I've been collecting for another project. I just needed something to feed into it.

The idea came to me in a conversation as a kind of silly thing to do. I was thinking about how to mess with samples and the idea of slicing them and trigger them by collisions just popped into my head.
At the moment the energy levels are fixed. One of the things to complete the model is for collisions to drain energy. Then I plan to add "warming" that is a constant influx of energy which will be controllable.
Beyond that I really want to play with having the collision sequencer drive other things like a bank of oscillators. I'm also considering how it could sensibly output MIDI.

Thanks guys.
Wildgeas: Yeah I got a definite "It's full of stars" vibe and I'm thinking of renaming the Reaktor ensemble TMA-2. I suspect the sampler based version will always be a bit this way because of the granular nature of the sounds. When I use the collision sequencer to drive an additive oscillator bank it might get more interesting. Or not ;-)
Nebulonic: Glad you like it. As to the type of equations it is an incredibly simple analog of a 2D gas. 64 particles are represented by (X,Y,direction,energy) in a 100x100 vessel. Brighter particles have more energy and travel faster.
CR/SS: Thanks... I find some of the tones generated remind me of the background sounds from David Lynch's Dune movie (a favourite when I were a lad).
Johnny: Thanks man. More to come.
Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.
And this happy little accident came out.
This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…
You may hate me for this but I am getting a definite Buck Rogers in the 25th Century vibe here. Which reminds me of Erin Gray in a figure hugging spandex outfit...MMmmmm... I fear I have shared too much!
I made this track back in nineties with sort of tongue in cheek -mentality. I accidentally found it and it still sounded so fresh that i decided to upload it.
Funny how it's generally the songs that I spend the most time on, where I hardly write any story.
So I'll just briefly say this is the [songfight.org](http://songfight.org) song that I hadn't even intended to write.
Hey there. Thanks for the comment on my practice session. You're right that we piano strugglers need a support & self-help group! Maybe something in the forums, a "practice" top-level topic might be good enough.
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Great panning mate very cool mix like it.
infectious!
Sweeping and collective!
I don't know, but I'm glad I'm not in there with it. Weirdly wonderful sounds there! Seriously, Happy Christmas Sandbags!
Yeah, but, what's in the box?
Acid on the assembly line.....
Nice panning effects! So- What's the answer? Lemme guess- Pain is in the box(sorry- read Dune too many times!)
Hey Igor. Yeah there's something a little disturbing about those shrill shrieks towards the end, kind of like some flying be-tentacled monsters happily chasing their prey ;-)
You're very wise Joe. I can recommend someone! :)
i like it. *calls therapist for crisis counselling*
Not bad for or to fill in the chase scene, for example. To be continued...? Think I will ask you for a samples.
Holy sci fi!
It certainly is.
a dark digital confusing march around crop circles
this is some good stuff
All your work that I've listened to so far resonates with me at a molecular level. I enjoyed this a lot. :)

You always inspire my ambient side. Massive wall of sound.
I've got sharks swimming through a sunken wreck. Clever and weirdly atmospheric!
Yes, I agree with Johnny, a most amazing mix of sounds. Well Mr. S, it sounds like a dream!

This is really awesome guys, lovely range of sounds blending together perfectly in the moment. Maximum kudos.

Rather groovy.
From the edges of Eno to the realms of Vangelis, nice!
Dreamy. Just perfect for this lovely spring day.
Dead catchy CG!
Enjoyed listening to that, could have listened a good while longer.
That's brilliant!
Catchy little number this.

I think Kirk just about nailed and, yeah, the guitar comes in just right.
