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!

Well glu nicked all the good stuff with the hint of jazz and Lost Highways references. I can't compete with that! But I enjoyed it none the less :)

Has a certain rawness and grittiness that reminds me of Bukowski's poetry.

Has a melancholy quality to it that I like. What sort of piano is that?

Love this track, more please!

Very nice.

Lovely swirly textures, we like :)

A weeks gap has given me a little more perspective on this track and I've found more to like about it. Also in the light of my next track I can see this as an experiment with a new form. I doubt I'll do anything more with this but I can rest easier about it now ;-)

Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated :)

Love the dark, metallic, and lost textures you got going on here.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. In the days since I uploaded it I have come to a much greater appreciation of old Harry but you take it to another level. I especially love the way you've blended the resonant sweeps with the harps. Looking forward to future episodes!

This is perfect Sunday morning music, ethereal, floaty, lovely.

No Logic 9 yet (only a matter of time though I think) but I liked this very much.

Took a few hours to make. For example a lot of fades are hand drawn automation and the whole thing is 540 bars long so that took a while even though I can copy & paste automation data in Logic. The 05:00 mark I went a bit mad with the filter resonance. I have a version where I clean that up a little and it sounds better I think. I might replace the online version.

Well you know on further listening I do find things to like in this. I'm inclined to give the process another go (maybe with a slightly shorter time frame) and think more about structure. Thanks again for your comments folks.

Hi Kirk. Thanks... I do have a crazy selection of effects these days which is responsible for a lot of the sonic mangling I can do. Over the next year or so I'd like to get more selective and more competent about the results :) I also think Yelyah's onto something. This might actually be a "track" if it had more structure. As it is the micro-structure created by automation isn't enough. Lots of things to work on! Thanks again. m/

Yelyah, thank you for the encouraging words. You're right that I have a pretty unsophisticated approach to what a "song" is. It's a facet I've begun to notice in everything I have done so far, that it is structurally uninteresting. Guess I need to figure out how to take the next step! Thanks again. m/

After several listens my only regret is that I can only favourite this track once :)

Bethan you're very kind to even attempt to listen to this! The kick drum that runs through the track is the source of most of the sounds, just mangled, tortured, and beat into shapes & frequencies kick drums were never meant to reach.

What can I say? This is beautiful and I think I shall listen to the whole thing all over again :)

I'm at 15:00 and it's been great so far.
