Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated :)

I think you nailed the breakdown, love when it comes back in. Great tune.

Aggressive.

This interesting and very clever. Most enjoyable!

Great job on this one! Keep it up. :)

See what happens when you start clowning around :D This is really something. I have to listen again.

nice! I like how this one turned out!

Yes- I think you hit the proverbial nail on the freakin' head with this one. Love the beat and that crunchy bass

I do love dancy rhythm. It does it for me!

yeay! love it! you are quite the sound sculptor, amigo.

Digging the glitchy bits and the synths!

what is the bpm for Mr. Palmer?

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.

So how long did this take DAMN - an alarm went off just as I started typing LOL - 5 minutes in! So as i was about to say - this is intriguing and the fade-ins/outs and those watery textures make it fun. It's a long way off my beaten track but still in my jungle ... it's getting to the stage now where I'll have to pick up a guitar ...

I'd like to build a song around Mr. Palmer.

love the rhythmic malfunctions. inspiring.

! Um...I can't believe you put a massive disclaimer on this! Incredibly well played, Sandbags!

I don't have a lot of time this morning but it's definitely time for you to stop being so modest. This totally deserves a more pretentious description. How about (in a deep announcer voice): a post-modern sonic exploration of the contemporary kick drum. :-)

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.

This will maybe sound crazy, but I can hear just adding low drone in places and then a big ominous synth wash over the top. Don't trash it- it's got a lot of possibility!

Thanks folks, your comments made me smile :)

Fun, I love messing around like this myself. MIDI is a different kind of musical power and, combined with your talents for playing with real instruments... well I look forward to the mayhem to come :)

Took your advice and my ears are now bleeding but happy :)

I for one am grateful for our impending roasting if it inspires you to make such music :)

Enjoyed this very much Erik. Great beat and so many interesting sounds in there.

This is a very odd approach to music.

If they do another remake of War of the Worlds I'm putting your name down for the soundtrack.

Ah, love this.. especially the change just after the 2:00 mark. It seems that, in the right circumstances, schmalz can be a good thing :)

Another sweet track. I hope it won't be too long before you have some more stuff to upload!

I think it's awesome that I have no clue what your "tech" means. Doesn't stop me loving the sound :)

Not a rock fan here but I enjoyed this very much!

Beautiful.

Absolutely love the sound you've created here.

Man I'd love to come here you play this sort of stuff. Fabulous.

I liked it. There's something pleasing about the tension between the lackadaisical vocal style and the distortion on the beats.

Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?

Boy that was great, lovely ambience.

I like it.

Melancholy and touching.

Beautiful. Again the piano is also lovely.
