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.

After several listens I am better able to describe my reactions. I love the way you let the track build up in it's own time, unhurried. I love the sound, the rhythm, and the desolate, but stoic, feelings you evoke. Kudos to both of you!

OMG utterly fantastic!

That's great, love what you've done here.

This is really awesome guys, lovely range of sounds blending together perfectly in the moment. Maximum kudos.

Thanks guys. Wildgeas: Yeah I got a definite "It's full of stars" vibe and I'm thinking of renaming the Reaktor ensemble TMA-2. I suspect the sampler based version will always be a bit this way because of the granular nature of the sounds. When I use the collision sequencer to drive an additive oscillator bank it might get more interesting. Or not ;-) Nebulonic: Glad you like it. As to the type of equations it is an incredibly simple analog of a 2D gas. 64 particles are represented by (X,Y,direction,energy) in a 100x100 vessel. Brighter particles have more energy and travel faster. CR/SS: Thanks... I find some of the tones generated remind me of the background sounds from David Lynch's Dune movie (a favourite when I were a lad). Johnny: Thanks man. More to come.

Rather groovy.

From the edges of Eno to the realms of Vangelis, nice!

Dreamy. Just perfect for this lovely spring day.

Dead catchy CG!

Enjoyed listening to that, could have listened a good while longer.

That's brilliant!

Catchy little number this.

You may hate me for this but I am getting a definite Buck Rogers in the 25th Century vibe here. Which reminds me of Erin Gray in a figure hugging spandex outfit...MMmmmm... I fear I have shared too much!

Great track I love it.

Hey there. Thanks for the comment on my practice session. You're right that we piano strugglers need a support & self-help group! Maybe something in the forums, a "practice" top-level topic might be good enough.

I think Kirk just about nailed and, yeah, the guitar comes in just right.
