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.

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.
