your tracks are cool. good sounds and production. i'm wondering if you could add dynamic control to your programming giving more volume shape/build to your tracks.

In a very good way this conjures up mid fifties Japanese short films. A bulldozer dragging a reluctant refrigerator through the dump. Seagulls argue over someone's sandwich and a young boy rides his bicycle as if he were on a magical horse. (all shot in grainy black and white on somebody's Mom's super-eight. Thanks Mr. Bagszins

great work sandbags,

very extraterrestrial! nice work.

I think you got something to work with here. It put me in a trance. Day dreaming sort of thing. Cool sounds Mr. Bags.

well, highly experimental, no doubt about that; and it does carry some underlaying structure. not quite steady though, but it is there, yes. - and overall, it has a very interesting contemporary flavor..

oldie but goodie.

nicely disturbing; maybe a tad too linear here and there, but that's certainly due to the formula. - i wonder if this could work with superformula and if so, what would be the output..

well trying to write my own song

sounds awesome in the 'phones.

@MannequinRaces: Reaktor is still a great tool for experimenting with sound design and, as a bonus, you get a fantastic range of great instruments and effects. It does require some effort to learn and the program has some issues but it's totally worth it. Thanks for your suggestions about creating space. You're right in that I just went for the first fast panning preset I liked and it is kind of monotonous after a while. When I was working mostly in Logic I used to automate volume a lot which can also create space. But this is something I don't find as natural in Ableton. I think it's a consequence of the Session/Arrangement dichotomy that I'm not as happy with yet. I'm working on something new & again using TMA-2 as one of my sources. I'll see if I can do a better job with it.

Once again, killer stuff. Love what you're doing here.

This is heaven. I love shit like this!

(Drool) Okay, I've always known that I've wanted to give Reaktor a shot but now I really want to try it out! Great stuff. I have no idea how to ad more space in something like this but I like it the way it is. My only suggestion to try out sometime is to vary the panning. Seems like the panning (ping pong effect) is pretty consistent. I would try varying it more (like faster panning for a bit, then slower, etc..). Anyways cool stuff!

RE 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. so long as it isn't our brainwaves! hehe. I'm lookig forward to hearing, and seeing what else you do with this

I prefer the source....but this is interesting as well.

I knew he was sending images into our heads wildgeas. hehe. I'll have to listen to the other tracks you did with this one sandbags.

Spacey man. Your buggin' me out. There's something crawling on me. It has teeth.

Thanks for your comment on Sunday Looping mate. You have a great weekend. Cheers.

This is cool too. Hmmm. Eenie-meanie...

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!
