More LoopShifted piano accompanied by Stylus RMX and Omnisphere. At over eight minutes it's perhaps a little self-indulgent but maybe it's more like punting down the river Styx than jet-skiing on a lake of fire.

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…
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
Had a guitar lesson today. Jammed on some chords. The chords happen to be the same as (or similar to) those in Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe. We just chose them randomly as a basis for experimentation with different voicings.
Anyway, got home and…
more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.
Oh man, love this. Especially the second part (~1:45 - 3:30) which has great "movement". I'm sure there is a musicy word for it but I don't know it. I do know this is brilliant though. Encore!
Worked on this track at the end of January.. Then the RPM came and it did not fit with the other tunes... so I decided to get off my behind and upload it for you all to enjoy. Takes place at the zoo,
the plot is, of course, two chimps in love...
i call it miramar after the naguib mahfouz novel which i was reading at the time, just like in the book all the characters meet in the middle for the umm kulthum concert

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

Again that was beautiful. I'm really enjoying these pieces.
Hahahaha nice :)
Like it.
Thanks Sister, best comment evar!
Nice beat :)
Beautiful.
Great beat Glu!
My cognitive operating system is much refreshed! Great album glu!
All kinds of fabulous sonic shapes in here, another great track!
Love this.
Love the feel of this one.
Okay that was awesomely weird! Kudos :)
Fun experiment.
Great beat.

Love it.
Love it. How do you consistently come up with this much great music? Those little Glubots must be working double-overtime!
This track makes me a Happy Machine :)
Love the sounds you've used here.
Okay I mightn't have expected 43m of fan noise to be quite this cool but it is!
