Well done mate very cool

Very pretty!

Very very cool.

this should be on every astronaut's ipod. keep up the good work fella. I'd like to hear what else you have to offer us.

Peaceful and vibrant. Nice work!

I clicked on more so I started from the beg. again. As I am listening...with the idea of a video running through my mind: man in room. His face gradually becomes more frantic as the clocks increase. Images of his life flash before his eyes very rapidly to reflect the following spoken words; The clocks.....the clocks won't stop. They remind me of my brevity. As I approach the end of my time... The clocks...the clocks go faster and faster! Yelling in my ears....laughing and taunting me! I see everyone that's come and gone.. I see years and years ago...as if it were only minutes ago. Moments which made me smile and laugh now make me sad and cry... Time...time...ticking endlessly... Does it ever really stop? Time is now the wild beast which chases us through space...no longer is it the tigers and bears. It's time which rips and tears. Images flow with the clocks...speeding up and slowing down. I wish I could animate a tiger-clock. lol..a clock shaped like a tiger chasing someone.

Did you include that clock which was recently made to last for 10,000 years>? The most precise clock ever created? It's probably mostly silent....soo.. hehe. You should do a video for this one...

Really interesting composition, very cleverly put together.

This gives me the chills. You should be doing this for money.

I love this! It would be fabulous with dance choreographed. You are a very interesting thinker!

...after listening at about 5:40 I detected I live inside a clock. No - many clocks. Going mad with it/them... P.S. Better to listen [tick] in headphones or - even better [tick-tack] - thru studio monitors, loudddddd.

Very cool. Enjoyed reading the notes, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it.

Time well spent.

Great job. Who would have thought that eight minutes of clock sounds could be that interesting. Love the way it builds.

Tick tock make it stop. This is just utterly creepy. Smashing job, Sir!

That's madness for sure mate great track

I have been waiting to hear this ever since you requested clock samples in the forums. Gotta love the creativity. Extremely well done.

Bravo! I found myself startled by some of the clocks and looking to the side. Mission well executed.

this is some good stuff.

This is awesome!

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.

@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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
