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.

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!

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

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!
