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.

OK- I'll admit I didn't listen to the whole thing, but I did hear about 6 minutes of it and it's interesting stuff! If I knew a tithe of what you do about manipulating sounds in software I'd be a league ahead of where I am!!

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.

I listened to the full 24. :)
I dig what you've done here and would definitely call this music and not noise. I would like to see you create some separate sections. Like, a breakdown for instance, where you go for something totally different rhythmically before returning to the original idea.
Keep on experimenting! :)

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.

This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.

I'm learning to play piano and my teacher has given me 'Old Joe Clarkes Boogie' to play. For 2 weeks it has kicked my ass. But I'm getting to grips with it now and this is my revenge!
The musical parts were recording using my Kurzweil SP3X…

I needed 2m02 to finish the album. I was completely spent and without a drop of creative juice left. Just noodling with an Omnisphere patch when one of my cats, Mississippi, jumped on my keyboard and proceeded to walk up and down and sit on various…
So this track was purely for the fun of it. I was messing about in Omnisphere and came across this wonderful sound that reminded me of the guild highliners in Dune.
I built a beat around in using Stylus, Ricochet, and Dubstation. Then added more…

A rather more fundamentally experimental piece with Reichenbach's new *drift* mode. In this mode a probability matrix controls periodic changes in the loop length and/or position.
Once more I am using one of the awesome [Rekkerd mixed bag](http…
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
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 :)
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
"pastlife laptops and attic instruments" is a composition from 2004 that I wrote to perform with saxophonist Brian Sacawa. This is the pre-recorded electronic part that accompanies a (mostly) written-out saxophone part and an ad libitum improvisation…
A little something that came out of playing with the Max4Live content.
The guitar sound, which I'm particularly happy with is a combination of my GT-10, CamelSpace and the M4L buffer shuffler.
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You…

Full of fun, rhythm and interesting sounds. Trying to work out what some of them are, very cool!
glu: :)
yeah, it feels feminine, artificial, and something else.. i'll let you know when I can place my finger on it... if it lets me...
still hiding.
wonderful use of textures and very cinematic as others have said :)
Love the blending going on in this one. And what a title! :)
man i really dig this one. The sounds and mood you achieved here are just stellar.
I caught this groove.
Father, the Sleeper has awakened. I don't know where I went for 4 minutes but it made my hair move. Pretty cool and very creative.
Former South American dictator turned clown? ha! Think I remember reading up on that..sandbagdido?
your music has definitely been going somewhere over the past few releases. This is great dubby sounds.
I just folded space from my shop and found myself sitting in the studio in front of the monitors. Neat track!
oooh this is compatible with my circuitry!!!
A very cool track.
Sounds like a sexy girl robot getting ready for a night out. That sound at the end is her zipping up her silver thigh-highs.

Thanks folks, your comments made me smile :)

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.
