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!!

Well glu nicked all the good stuff with the hint of jazz and Lost Highways references. I can't compete with that! But I enjoyed it none the less :)

Has a certain rawness and grittiness that reminds me of Bukowski's poetry.

Has a melancholy quality to it that I like. What sort of piano is that?

Love this track, more please!

Very nice.

Lovely swirly textures, we like :)

A weeks gap has given me a little more perspective on this track and I've found more to like about it. Also in the light of my next track I can see this as an experiment with a new form. I doubt I'll do anything more with this but I can rest easier about it now ;-)

Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated :)

Love the dark, metallic, and lost textures you got going on here.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. In the days since I uploaded it I have come to a much greater appreciation of old Harry but you take it to another level. I especially love the way you've blended the resonant sweeps with the harps. Looking forward to future episodes!

This is perfect Sunday morning music, ethereal, floaty, lovely.

No Logic 9 yet (only a matter of time though I think) but I liked this very much.

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.

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.

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/

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/

After several listens my only regret is that I can only favourite this track once :)

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.

What can I say? This is beautiful and I think I shall listen to the whole thing all over again :)

I'm at 15:00 and it's been great so far.
