Well done. I don't really have any suggestions about structure except to say don't get too hung up on it :-) I kind of think that the way this ebbs and flows is all the structure it needs.

@NebulonicAlchemy: I've no recollection of the conversation you're talking about. I use a lot of effects in Live and Logic so it doesn't sound like me. My point is about creating an arrangement where there is more control over sonic density. Particularly intense points should not be clustered together or they become overwhelming. I think the issue is with taking a single, long, piece of audio and trying to treat give it a different structure.

Your efforts to create space are interesting. I'm not sure I comprehend exactly what you mean. I believe you once said you dont' like using efx which comes with audio editing/recording sofware. Maybe this a route you may want to take?

This is full of great sounds mate very cool.

Wild sounds ... Great mix

ok....I think I did see that.

If you read my post in that thread I talked about one of my tracks being downloaded over & over again by Chinese spammers/spambots. This is that track.

wildgease and I were talking about play counts...he said he posts links to his songs on other pages...did you do that for this one? On what pages did you put the link for this song?

Reminds me of the voice of Shodan, the AI in the System Shock series of computer games. :)

I can definitely hear the Dune soundtrack in this. Nice work on the Reaktor instrument! It'll be interesting to hear what else you end up doing with it.

I like it....very...interesting..music that creates itself...in a way...

You should develop some iPhone/Pod apps like this. Cool.

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.

i like the samples u used. What are they from??

I seriously think this could lead to not so silly things. Have you ever heard of the tribe of people...from thousands of years ago, who knew the EXACT orbital patterns of stars and planets they couldn't even see? Maybe this too..like MMI said...is a happy accident?

The idea came to me in a conversation as a kind of silly thing to do. I was thinking about how to mess with samples and the idea of slicing them and trigger them by collisions just popped into my head. At the moment the energy levels are fixed. One of the things to complete the model is for collisions to drain energy. Then I plan to add "warming" that is a constant influx of energy which will be controllable. Beyond that I really want to play with having the collision sequencer drive other things like a bank of oscillators. I'm also considering how it could sensibly output MIDI.

I was thinking that more outside variables would be interesting. I like the gravity well idea. So where did you get the idea for this? And...do energy levels change when there is a collision?

Loving your work with vox!

Great stuff mate this is very cool.

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!

Like this one, leaves me wanting more.

Work of art my man, work of art. I humbly salute you.

I sure enjoyed that.

Please come do some gigs in England!

This stuff is great to listen to, lovely warm ambience.

I'm with underwood :)

This piece has a wonderful otherworldliness to it. The beat anchors it to our time & place but it's easy to imagine it being enjoyed by alien ears. Kudos.

After several more listens my enthusiasm for this piece is undiminished. Not to take anything away from the rest of it but the section from 5:00 to 8:21 is as good, interesting, and moving a piece of piano music as I have ever heard. I'd love you to transcribe this piece so I could have a go at playing it and, who knows?, maybe we could duet one day!

Boy do I love this, the music is awesome - just awesome - and I love when you whistle along as you're enjoying different bits. I can imagine doing it myself! Once again AWESOME++

Enjoyed this one very much.

Fab, quite lifted my spirits! :)

Nice one Centurion.

Love this piece Lalo, beautiful.

That was lovely.

Like it.. Go Bunny!

Love this.

Awww who cares if you uploaded this before, it's great. You two play brilliantly together. I'd like to see it on video.

Bravo, superb intro. Love your voice & playing here.

@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.
