Ha, you need to work on your advertising. ;-)
Pretty cool sounds! Have been listening to my children playing Ice Age on their play station all morning - this kind of track would fit perfectly in some of the eerier scenes. Very nice!

I'm going through something of a dark time at the moment and it's a rare evening I actually have something tangible to show for it. Mostly it's frustration, depression, and a blanket of grey despair. Tonight was different and I can only hope that…

Thank you for the kind words.
This track has been interesting for me in that, having felt paralysed for so long, I was in major haste to push it out the door. I didn't stop to think or evaluate, let alone try things different. I just slapped it together and uploaded it.
And it is a wild mess.
And I think it's very me.
I thought I'd listen once then move on. But I've found myself listening to it over and over again. Of the 37 track plays I would guess almost 30 of them are mine.
Sister's right in that it has some nice bits around 3m and, for me, especially 5m. If the whole could be as good as those parts I think I'd **really** have something.
But where I thought I might be embarrassed at throwing up some half-finished thing instead I've discovered I enjoy this in all it's misshapen beauty.
I've started applying the same techniques I used for this in a more deliberate way and I am struggling. Which is great, it feels great to have creative problems again!
Being as I am in something of a musical trough of despair (it's not as much fun as it sounds) right now I thought I'd try messing with my TMA-2 Reaktor instrument and try and coax some better results from it.
From a promising beginning TMA…

I thought I would try a slower piece so Rytme is running at 90BPM and I have introduced a density function that allows me to create sparser pieces.
MIDI from Rytme is going to a single track in Logic hosting Kontakt 3 with the Soniccouture…
A rather more fundamentally experimental piece with Reichenbach's new *drift* mode. In this mode a probability matrix controls periodic changes in the loop length and/or position.
Once more I am using one of the awesome [Rekkerd mixed bag](http…
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Fun, I love messing around like this myself. MIDI is a different kind of musical power and, combined with your talents for playing with real instruments... well I look forward to the mayhem to come :)
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
"pastlife laptops and attic instruments" is a composition from 2004 that I wrote to perform with saxophonist Brian Sacawa. This is the pre-recorded electronic part that accompanies a (mostly) written-out saxophone part and an ad libitum improvisation…
A little something that came out of playing with the Max4Live content.
The guitar sound, which I'm particularly happy with is a combination of my GT-10, CamelSpace and the M4L buffer shuffler.
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You…

Really love the part around 3 minutes with the piano. Think this is some of your best work, Bags.
Ha, you need to work on your advertising. ;-) Pretty cool sounds! Have been listening to my children playing Ice Age on their play station all morning - this kind of track would fit perfectly in some of the eerier scenes. Very nice!
Really spookie late night, gonna check the door locks.
Cool sounds mate great mix.
Nice title. ;-) Very cool textures here - love the ethereal backdrop and the understated bass.
Super string particle vibrational quantum nano music. Cool. I AM very tiny.
Now I'm feeling all left out because I have no headphones :(
Very cool, especially in headphones!
Specs move better in headphone headspace. Highly recommended.
Nice one mate very cool mix. Great sounds.
Well done my friend.
love that crackle /spark thingie,make a cool scifi track.
Cool sounds mate I dig your tracks mate, never know where your going to take it.

Very cool sounds mate.
Innovative and entertaining. Good to hear something new from you.
That's wild! I can hear your frustration in places
There are some really cool sequences in here, especially around 3 minutes. I think you expressed a lot through this process - more of the same please.
howzers, love it all. uber visual without handrails
really like this one a lot! great sounds and sense of space. http://soundcloud.com/arcana-red

Thanks folks, your comments made me smile :)

Took your advice and my ears are now bleeding but happy :)
I for one am grateful for our impending roasting if it inspires you to make such music :)
Enjoyed this very much Erik. Great beat and so many interesting sounds in there.
This is a very odd approach to music.
If they do another remake of War of the Worlds I'm putting your name down for the soundtrack.
Ah, love this.. especially the change just after the 2:00 mark. It seems that, in the right circumstances, schmalz can be a good thing :)
Another sweet track. I hope it won't be too long before you have some more stuff to upload!
I think it's awesome that I have no clue what your "tech" means. Doesn't stop me loving the sound :)
Not a rock fan here but I enjoyed this very much!
Beautiful.
Absolutely love the sound you've created here.
Man I'd love to come here you play this sort of stuff. Fabulous.
I liked it. There's something pleasing about the tension between the lackadaisical vocal style and the distortion on the beats.
Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?
Boy that was great, lovely ambience.
I like it.
Melancholy and touching.
Beautiful. Again the piano is also lovely.
