:)

like it; cool that you're making nice stuff with M4L. I'm also going to check out your LM software. thanks for checking out Body Dis in full; glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks folks. When I put this one up I was afraid it would be a bit far out but, on repeated listenings, I think it's more accessible than I imagined. Glad you like it.

I must be a serious noise freak now. I found it to be quite musical. Nice!

Cool sounds mate very well done.

Wild tones.

Every time I listen to your sounds, I have to Google something. :) I'm a noise rookie.

excellent experimental, something of a metallic soundscape..

yay for Camel toys! they're like HP sauce for me

I like it. Sounds like a funky train.

This is really good mate.

I actually enjoyed the repetition - After three listens it proved to be quite a stress reliever!

5 stars.

That's a dandy piece of work right there. I think I like this one best of all your tunes and/or sounds. Fav'd and saved.

Thanks for these tunes. Very meditative. Great for morning yoga.

A sheer pleasure to listen to!

That's a beauty! Nice work!

Excellent work. But even better for me, you've provided some inspiration for experimentation.

Great sounds mate very cool. This is good.

Very evocative and tense, but PRETTY.

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!

OMG utterly fantastic!

That's great, love what you've done here.

@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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Great track I love it.

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.

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