enjoyed these - great stuff!!

Strangely beautiful!

Beautiful sounds!

Yes, this is STRANGELY enchanting. I don't usually go for this sort of stuff but I have really enjoyed this!

Dig the cellic flavourings.

Remote echo of the stones, rolling; tide, from under the water...

Super cool. I love the dark tension.

Ambient G-E-N-I-U-S. Cool ending bits.

Desert winds...

Strangely enchanting!

There's gold in them thar waves.

Very cool and fruitful sonic mining. Inspiring.

I could get lost in it too. Nice!

Funny.... I have a feeling this would be the soundtrack of the world if time was frozen......greatly enjoyed.

Nice! Mysterious sounds

Wow! Very cool sounds there!

Ha! This is sweet!

very nice - alien sounds - it should be the world anthem for the spacer world Aurora in Asimov's I Robot series.

Listened to this twice in a row, it has a really nice mood.

nice one!

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.
