A disquieting state that grows from a seed until it consumes you. A piece made in Live & Amadeus Pro with Reaktor, Pro-C, and Vintage Warmer.

Awesome, can't say I've heard anything quite like it. It really sounds like something unfolding or slowly expanding itself.

Halfway through it did feel like it was the intro to something (cue dry ice, big light show, power chord, let's rock... mebbe!)(I think it's the hi-hat that does this to me, it reminds me of a drummer itching to get going) But, for me, it does actually bring itself to a nice conclusion. Didn't really feel like "petering out" at this end.

Today I decided I would play with the lovely (and free) [Pocket Blakus](http://blakus.com/pocketblakus-192) solo cello. At first I tried arpeggiating some chords but this didn't work so well with this cello which has a long, heavy, sound that…

A demo track for a new Reaktor instrument I'm building codename: Mimetron. Loop Guitar 1 is a long, flowing, ambient piece. Mellow with a few moments of grit. Mimetron is a 3 voice sampler that is driven by incoming audio. It has 3 channels…

Don't think I'll ever understand this way of making music - but it do make some nice sounds. Cool track.

this sounds awesome: When the input signal from the filter exceeds the gate-on threshold the sampler plays the loop for that channel. When the incoming signal falls below the gate-off level the loop gets released and decays away. 2 minutes into the track and loving it.

Classy piece of experimentation. Musically superb but I wish I understood more of how it was achieved.

I quite like it too! You're right in that it sounds like the beginning of something else, but very enjoyable!

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!
