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...

I feel like I'm aloft and tumbling wildly across vistas of 80's virtual reality grids as I'm listening to this like Tron meets a bad case of sunstroke. Nice use of pitch.

Cool track.

Thanks for the kind words folks, gave me a lift :)

Thanks for the nice comments my friends. I've been away (for various reasons) from music for some time and this is one of my first few forays back. Trying to recapture my spirit of adventure!

Thanks Len. Looks like I have a lot of your uploads to catch up on!

Hmmm listening in headphones there's very little movement which creates a disappointingly static impression. Something to work on.

Thanks guys, inebriated waveforms could be said to be the speciality of the house!

This does have a Sci-fi feel to it. I think it fits right in with Voyager-1 leaving our solar system.

Why thank you all, glad you like :)

Think maybe we should do an extended version one day :)

Ah that last comment was from me, didn't notice I wasn't logged in.

Like it.

Great drone, love the percussion, cool track!

I love the music and tone of this one. The way the opening draws you in, the tension of the strings, and the rising, sucking, synth almost like someone whistling across a wasteland. Yet the strings bring you back! The whole thing is more than the sum of its parts.

Drama is clearly good for you :)

That was really good Steve. One strangeness: the track is listed as being 6:16 long but stops (seemingly naturally) at 5:52.

That was awesome guys.

Has a feeling of being in between places, like looking out of the window on a long train journey. I think the drums work quite well. Good stuff, welcome back :)

I agree it's a bit shrill in places. This track is actually one of the few times I've thought I shouldn't just publish but should polish. I often struggle with this feeling and - as with this track - lose.

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I'm getting some odd distortions on playing here this morning that I didn't notice in the original (esp. since this piece doesn't play "hot"). They're not supposed to be there. Odd.
