I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…
I agree it's a bit shrill in places. This track is actually one of the few times I've thought I shouldn't just publish but should polish. I often struggle with this feeling and - as with this track - lose.

Lovely melodic fragments, overlapping beautifully. It does sound a little shrill in places, which is forcing me to listen very quietly. Intriguing! As MMI said, more please!!!!!!!

i like it... it somehow makes me feel like there's something more discontent than i am right now... Cool stuff, and I love the fact that you detailed your voyage in making it as well

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I'm getting some odd distortions on playing here this morning that I didn't notice in the original (esp. since this piece doesn't play "hot"). They're not supposed to be there. Odd.

First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…
2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations.

I like the nice little tinkly rhythm throughout.
It is a tad long perhaps, unless you did add something else, you could view it as a very pretty piece of work in progress.

@matt Poetry, Yeah. This is often the case.
My comment: I'm just showing how the tragedy and heroism of some people is suddenly not so that there is, and even ... vice versa, sometimes.
"I am a mirror," as sung by Leo Sayer in one of the Alan Parsons Project song. Although ... Okay, a distraction.
~Every face is someone else~
An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
That was lovely. I can quite easily see how you would just jam for hours and never get around to recording. Which probably means you should be on stage!
Okay this is one for the serious noise freaks only.
This is three instances of Loop Shifter that I played in real time using my Novation Launchpad.
Turns out the launchpad makes a great keyboard for loop shifter, better than a real keyboard…
Thanks folks. When I put this one up I was afraid it would be a bit far out but, on repeated listenings, I think it's more accessible than I imagined. Glad you like it.
Body Disconnected (2002) was written to accompany choreography by Lauren Lutrell. The process included importing video clips of dance movements into the music programs I was using and scoring music to them as one might with a film soundtrack…
This is a beautiful work. The various sections are interesting in themselves but I also love how you've blended them together, the changes work really well. Bravo!
Love this. I've tried to make pieces like this but it's beyond my talent for arrangement at this point. I love how you've blended traditional sounds with experimental timbres. Nicely done!
Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.
This is a first test of a sequencer I built, using Max for Live, based on Audio Damage's latest plugin [Axon](http://www.audiodamage.com/instruments/product.php?pid=AD026).
Axon looks great but I'm saving for a Mac Pro so, to save money, I…
I've really enjoyed these tracks you've just uploaded but this one is easily my favourite. Evocative blending of sounds with a sketchy vocal that really fits. Nicely done.
this was an accidental song. I was making another song for which the main two loops of this song were simply the ending. The first of these loops is so visually stunning, I just knew It was its own bar.
More LoopShifted piano accompanied by Stylus RMX and Omnisphere. At over eight minutes it's perhaps a little self-indulgent but maybe it's more like punting down the river Styx than jet-skiing on a lake of fire.
Ah mes non, it appears I have mislead you. What sounds like a guitar is in fact.. a guitar. It's one of the very nice lap steel guitars from Omnisphere and I play the chords I used for the piano part which was used to create the main glitchmosphere.
Very raw, completely improved piece. One track, one take.
Guitar -> GT-10 -> JamMan Stereo
A touch of Discord 3 was added as a send effect. Limiting on the master track. Et voila.
Sorry about the clipping.
Recommended listening…
Here's to insignificance my friend. May you never be squashed like a bug.
Instruments used: Kontakt, LoopShifter, Stylus RMX
Effects used: Eos, DubStation, Replicant, Augustus Loop

...in a direction; I too... (~_~)
deep sounds man.
Dude! Dude! More!
You have no idea how much I like this song right now
Very cool, I dig short tracks like this. They leave a lot to you imagination.
Atmospheric! Made me nostalgic for some old Tangerine Dream albums. (That's a good thing.)
Really cool (now that I'm at home and not wondering if my ipad speakers were broken :)
I like the nice little tinkly rhythm throughout. It is a tad long perhaps, unless you did add something else, you could view it as a very pretty piece of work in progress.
Ooops..had that one cranked up. BOOM!!! Great sounds.
I think it's too long, not enough variation, and needs at least some filtering. Might try a cello next time, or maybe a harmonica.
The sounds of V-Ger! Excellent drone instrument.
@Bethan: thanks... something like "Passing of the comet" would have been a much better title :)
I saw a comet! Then watched it go past!
Great sounds very cool mix

@igor: it's often the way with poetry, no? But you offer an interesting historical footnote :) But, in a sense, the poem is a distraction.

Short but sweet.
This is another of those tracks where I look for the 'double favourite' button in vain.
I enjoyed this a lot. Would that I would be able to improvise like this one day.
Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.
Strangeness after my own heart.
Really enjoyed this one, some great sounds and placement of those sounds.
Yeah my apologies to all listeners for not putting a fat reverb tail on this one. I wasn't thinking too hard. I might do that an re-upload it.
Love this.

Awesome. Yes there was a bit of clipping in there but who cares really? This was very listenable.
Now I'm feeling all left out because I have no headphones :(
I think after all I like this version best. It has a smooth, easy feel to it, like cruising through the night on a deserted motorway.
Lovely way to slide into the morning.
