Music for the mind. Once again a journey is bestowed upon us..one for which I have to say thanks. The collab you did with Sister Savage was great work too.

Initial comment made at 20 secs on hearing my Molly! Then I grabbed the headphones because I suspected I knew what was coming. But no, this is Sandbags. Take equal measures of eerie, crazy and strange, sprinkle with ingenuity and serve with WOAH.

Damn. How on earth do you manage to get all of these separate things to fit together so well?
And reading through the liner notes.... I am in awe of your ability to focus on one piece for so long and what must be an amazing attention to detail. Where can I get me some of that? :)

Actually...I think the voices sound great! And the fact that the spoken voice (yours?) is incoherent doesn't matter at all. You could be spilling all the secrets of the universe and we wouldn't know, I like that - it's intriguing.

Dark and sinister indeed! I like the use of your voice and the fact this it's incoherent makes it better. OOOOOH! That laughter at the end just caps it off!

I elected to pursue my theme for RPM 2010 even though, ultimately, I decided not to take part.
So I'm going at my own pace, not trying to produce "finished" works, or to be governed by anything except my experimental muse.

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Ok, I have decided to put it here. It is a stretch containing several ideas, it falls apart here and there (especially at 3:10), but I think the atmosphere shines through.
Hope I can return to it in a couple of weeks (when my head is clear…
I really enjoyed this track, it's got a great groove and lovely sound. I didn't notice anything untoward around 3:10 although I confess I wasn't listening totally focused so maybe I missed something. For a work in progress I'd have to say this sounded pretty polished and I look forward to future mixes.

This is part 2 - see Keys at Lowes for an explanation of what I'm trying to do.
Ok, another try using base frequencies of 0.1, 3, 10, 17, 33 and 48 Hz spread in stereo space plus some of the original mixed in. (additional…
This is right up my street, you're really getting some fabulous timbres out of this. I tried the improvFriday site a couple of weeks ago but really had no idea what I was doing.

Very cohesive sound collage. I love this.
Well done. Very retro cool.
Wow mega cool mate this is out there dig it.
Clever and complex. Great job combining all the sounds, and still managing to avoid complete dissonance.
I moved my speakers right up next to my head. Really gets the full affect of the L/R. Fun stuff.......
well done sandbags.
My thanks to all those who contributed vocals to this track: GCD, Sudara, Marlena, MMI, La Savage, Robot Molly, Matt Savigear, Wildgeas, and me!
The coordinated chaos of this is impressive! Those layers are pretty wild.
Astounding! :)

I can't put it any better than m'friend & colleague WS.
I'm still trying to get my head around improvFriday but I'm definitely going to give it another try if I can listen to you playing this kind of stuff!
Love your new sound :)
This isn't the kind of thing I'd normally go for but i like the sound and, as osckilo says, vibe you've got going on in this track.
Fun stuff.
Nice... and too short :)
Good stuff.
Great loop!
Well I enjoyed this.
Sounds good to me man!
Great track Bruce, really enjoyed that.
Cool sound.

Great song guys.
Enjoyed that.
Wish I could come along to one of your rehearsals!
Great track, esp. love the section starting around ~1:45 and the bass, and the synth, and oh everything :)
Oh man, i was just getting into that when it faded..!

Arthur C. Clarke once wrote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". This was truly magical my friend :)
