The mannequins! They're ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never throw anything you've created away. I've come close and always been happy about keeping stuff later. As to this track, supercool. Especially when that buzzy thing comes sweeping through. Awesome.

whew, good thing you kept this one. I like the chime.

grimey!

Like it! Especially the beats, halfway through I was thinking of wailing robots echoing through a very large spaceship

And thank you all guys. It's great to get feedback :)

MM: Well ... it hadn't occurred to me but I did just buy my first dub album and listen to it today ... maybe it did influence me.

So far the comments have been about the sounds and their scariness. For me, however, the magic comes from those sounds used with a fairly funky and happy motif. The juxtaposition is very cool. Strange as it sounds, I hear a dub influence (cue you saying WTF?!?)

OK, eeeeasy. Move away from the sharp objects. ...Possibly reserve more intelligent listens/comments until the morning, but suffice to say, I think you probably achieved what you set out to achieve. *scared*

okay, sandbags, time for a scary clown avatar. this one will make it difficult to turn out the light tonight.

So *that's* what a space trumpet sounds like. I had always wondered.

Like this nice and raw nice one

Hard to pass up a great title like this one. ;) (Excellent use of Augustus Loop, btw...)

*hides*

I never know what to say while I'm listening to this but I have to keep coming back and listen again!

Ooh twinkly and thought-provoking. Makes me think of the ghost of a child following someone and hiding quickly behind corners and in doorways whenever the person being followed turns to look. I hear churchbells too. Haunting!

Suspenceful...with ambient and cinematic overtones. One to really get the imagination working.

Atmospheric with a world beauty.

Wow- There should be a film to go with this. I'm not going to see it alone though!! Great sounds

Sounds good here! It turns my sunny green garden into the Outback!!

After several listens I am better able to describe my reactions. I love the way you let the track build up in it's own time, unhurried. I love the sound, the rhythm, and the desolate, but stoic, feelings you evoke. Kudos to both of you!

OMG utterly fantastic!

That's great, love what you've done here.

@NebulonicAlchemy: I've no recollection of the conversation you're talking about. I use a lot of effects in Live and Logic so it doesn't sound like me. My point is about creating an arrangement where there is more control over sonic density. Particularly intense points should not be clustered together or they become overwhelming. I think the issue is with taking a single, long, piece of audio and trying to treat give it a different structure.

If you read my post in that thread I talked about one of my tracks being downloaded over & over again by Chinese spammers/spambots. This is that track.

This is really awesome guys, lovely range of sounds blending together perfectly in the moment. Maximum kudos.

The samples were not carefully chosen just a few random snippets I had lying around and some vocal samples I've been collecting for another project. I just needed something to feed into it.

The idea came to me in a conversation as a kind of silly thing to do. I was thinking about how to mess with samples and the idea of slicing them and trigger them by collisions just popped into my head. At the moment the energy levels are fixed. One of the things to complete the model is for collisions to drain energy. Then I plan to add "warming" that is a constant influx of energy which will be controllable. Beyond that I really want to play with having the collision sequencer drive other things like a bank of oscillators. I'm also considering how it could sensibly output MIDI.

Thanks guys. Wildgeas: Yeah I got a definite "It's full of stars" vibe and I'm thinking of renaming the Reaktor ensemble TMA-2. I suspect the sampler based version will always be a bit this way because of the granular nature of the sounds. When I use the collision sequencer to drive an additive oscillator bank it might get more interesting. Or not ;-) Nebulonic: Glad you like it. As to the type of equations it is an incredibly simple analog of a 2D gas. 64 particles are represented by (X,Y,direction,energy) in a 100x100 vessel. Brighter particles have more energy and travel faster. CR/SS: Thanks... I find some of the tones generated remind me of the background sounds from David Lynch's Dune movie (a favourite when I were a lad). Johnny: Thanks man. More to come.

Rather groovy.

From the edges of Eno to the realms of Vangelis, nice!

Dreamy. Just perfect for this lovely spring day.

Dead catchy CG!

Enjoyed listening to that, could have listened a good while longer.

That's brilliant!

Catchy little number this.

You may hate me for this but I am getting a definite Buck Rogers in the 25th Century vibe here. Which reminds me of Erin Gray in a figure hugging spandex outfit...MMmmmm... I fear I have shared too much!

Great track I love it.

Hey there. Thanks for the comment on my practice session. You're right that we piano strugglers need a support & self-help group! Maybe something in the forums, a "practice" top-level topic might be good enough.

I think Kirk just about nailed and, yeah, the guitar comes in just right.
