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.

...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

@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~

@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.

Thanks folks, your comments made me smile :)

Fun, I love messing around like this myself. MIDI is a different kind of musical power and, combined with your talents for playing with real instruments... well I look forward to the mayhem to come :)

Took your advice and my ears are now bleeding but happy :)

I for one am grateful for our impending roasting if it inspires you to make such music :)

Enjoyed this very much Erik. Great beat and so many interesting sounds in there.

This is a very odd approach to music.

If they do another remake of War of the Worlds I'm putting your name down for the soundtrack.

Ah, love this.. especially the change just after the 2:00 mark. It seems that, in the right circumstances, schmalz can be a good thing :)

Another sweet track. I hope it won't be too long before you have some more stuff to upload!

I think it's awesome that I have no clue what your "tech" means. Doesn't stop me loving the sound :)

Not a rock fan here but I enjoyed this very much!

Beautiful.

Absolutely love the sound you've created here.

Man I'd love to come here you play this sort of stuff. Fabulous.

I liked it. There's something pleasing about the tension between the lackadaisical vocal style and the distortion on the beats.

Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?

Boy that was great, lovely ambience.

I like it.

Melancholy and touching.

Beautiful. Again the piano is also lovely.
