Listening to all of this was like hearing a great album. Can't wait to try the sequencer!

Sweet! Sounds great to me. I've always wanted to try out Reaktor!

Glitchtastic!

Cool. I made once a similar piece. At least it sounded similar. I remember i tried to follow one of Messiaen's scales.

Thank you for all the kind words. @MMI: By 'mess' i refer to what I perceive as a lack of underlying structure combined with over-density. I guess I wasn't so much being pejorative about my work (although given past comments I've made I can understand why that conclusion might be reached) so much as indicating that I am aiming towards something more deliberate, more structured, and sparser. Of course whether I get there, or somewhere totally different, is quite another matter :)

Mess?!? I'd say the net result is genius. Super super cool.

nebulonicalchemy: that's a greatquestion. Glitchiness is something that is easy to understand when you already know and quite hard to describe otherwise. But here goes: A glitch is usually a minor malfunction in a system where something doesn't work quite right (but isn't a complete meltdown). So in audio terms is might be described as something that doesn't sound right, in the context of the original sound, for a brief period. The Finger is a MIDI driven effect unit that provides a number of effects suitable for creating audio glitches for example short loops, pitch shifting, comb filters, scratches and so on. The untreated audio is fed through The Finger and, when it receives appropriate MIDI, it applies an effect but only for so long as the MIDI note is being played. So you get "audio glitches" interrupting the normal playback of the piece. This piece is so convoluted that it's hard to hear a clear separation between glitch and non-glitch. I'll try and do something about that in the next piece.

like it. sound quite ethnic in a strange way

what is glitching?

Really like this, a good balance between the glitchiness and the rest of the track. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this

Sacrilege? Bah. This is technological art in the finest tradition. Inspired.

Not at all, this is nice...and haunting. Lovely.

agree with the Sister..'victorian doll faces' should be the new title. love it!

Butchering something is only fun if you love it. :-) But no, I don't think this is butchered. I think it's complex and packed with your trademark eerie, broken Victorian doll faces.

nice ambiance!

Love the haunting piano tones in this.

I dig!

like it, everything can be made to make music

Nice sample set! I love organic sounds like this. Sounds like you're banging away on this stuff in a monastery! In my mind I can hear monks chanting in the background!

Wow what a cool sound this is great mate and thanks for your recent comment.

Awesome piece you've made here. So much in it but all blended superbly. I especially love the voices towards the end.

Oh yeah, liked this a lot.

Really enjoyed this piece.

Well you were wondering yesterday how it would come together and I can tell you, it came together great! An amazing effort, bravo!

Half way through and, so far, this has been quite a trip. I love how you have blended ambience and anti-ambience without a huge explosion! It's quite freaky to be surrounded by heavy grinding guitars and know that, just moments ago, I was bathing in a smooth still pond.

Beautiful playing and something reminiscent of Glu about the birdsong & engine noise which works really well here. Kudos!

Full of desolation and dark overtones. Beautiful.

Well... what do you say? I think you have made something very beautiful and involving. I love the way that, at the beginning (especially but also, to a degree, throughout the piece), the whole thing moves as if riding waves. The sounds are interesting but seem to blend quite seamlessly, I think the arrangement is very good. I particularly like the use of resonation, I think it creates a great ambience towards the end of the track. I really wasn't ready for it to end.

You may be surprised to hear it, but I really like this one!

Beautiful.

Strange and understated, I really love this.

Cool sound. More gritty bass which we like :)

Very much. I'd say time well spent. The percussion has a really crisp snap to it that I love (wish I could figure that trick out myself) and everything layers well and sounds great. Kudos!

Like this one a lot, it's got a haunting quality to it.

You asked for criticism but I can't give you any. I can only echo dAb and Sister's comments; this is great.

Thanks again for all the kind words. I think the next piece will be very largely based on vocals, if I can get some more female voices to balance things out!

Love your sound.

You're having wayyyy too much fun here :)

I think the two of you should be congratulated, then taken into care :)

Ah the infamous!
