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/

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. m/

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.

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.

Chilled. Like it.

Very cool, loved the feel of this track.

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 :)

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.

This one turned out awesome.. it all fit together beautifully in the end :)

What a cool, eclectic, mix. Liked this one, especially the sound of the piano running through it and counterpointing the glitchiness.

Enjoyed this. What time signature are you experimenting with?

Beautiful.

Here's hoping Brando is the guvnor then! Great track!

Liked this a lot!

Thank you so much folks for your comments, they're very encouraging!

Oh this is good, very good. Really hoppingly glitchy. Love it.

Lovely and weird, and that's before the Toucans come in!

What glu said!

Short but sweet :)

Welcome! Love the upright bass and the ethereal jazzy feel over the dark overtones. What's that sound at the end?

Oh man I love what you've done with this, absolutely love it!

Coming back to this I still love it. Wish I could favourite it again. How you doin?

Congratulations! Awesome achievement and I like this one. It puts me in mind of Colin Garveys WooHoo song. He did that at the end of the 24hr album last year. It was also "of it's moment" and expresses some of the same feelings. Maybe you will enjoy it too!

I love this. It puts me in mind of an experiment I was thinking about to alternately record & reverse parts so you end up with an interlocking series of forward and reverse sounds. Probably turn into sonic mush but could be kind of fun. Thanks for the inspiration!
