In fact, russians thought that the British cavalry were drunk (and think so still), which slightly improved the reputation of the British cavalry for the rest of the war.
Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it.
At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression.

Space Trumpet was an excuse to try out my new plugin "Little Spacey" from Expert Sleepers and also to exercise the Kore sounds from Acoustic Refractions.

Another one from my ambient crackpot series.
This features two instances of my new instrument the Novaphone 340 Imperial. A grand name for a grand instrument (Xylo just didn't do it justice).
The first Novaphone is playing three samples…

Yeah, I can see why MTC felt the cops were after him. It does sound like that in places. I like the footsteps, that's an interesting addition.

From the startling first note I imagined this accompanying a video of old, sunken shipwrecks
covered in anenomes with sharks weaving in and out!
That's because I have just been looking at some stunning photos of such. Perfect for it!

I would have added: as a result of sound pierced through and through, and go somewhere further on. I turned it on full blast in the studio and seems distant neighbors nervous. I hope they were worried about the meaning of life, as I do now. Here it is - The Result, Matt.

I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Ok, I have decided to put it here. It is a stretch containing several ideas, it falls apart here and there (especially at 3:10), but I think the atmosphere shines through.
Hope I can return to it in a couple of weeks (when my head is clear…
I really enjoyed this track, it's got a great groove and lovely sound. I didn't notice anything untoward around 3:10 although I confess I wasn't listening totally focused so maybe I missed something. For a work in progress I'd have to say this sounded pretty polished and I look forward to future mixes.

This is part 2 - see Keys at Lowes for an explanation of what I'm trying to do.
Ok, another try using base frequencies of 0.1, 3, 10, 17, 33 and 48 Hz spread in stereo space plus some of the original mixed in. (additional…
This is right up my street, you're really getting some fabulous timbres out of this. I tried the improvFriday site a couple of weeks ago but really had no idea what I was doing.

Listened many times. Still haven't thought of anything to say. So I'll just leave it at: Kilroy was here.
I see icicles with the ends dripping. All lovely, crispy clean and sparkly. Very nice, Bags!
Great mix of very cool sounds.
very nice.
@igor: words fail me :) @sister: thank you :)
Lovely tones.
At heart it's a Tibetan, lost in mantras, is not seeking to escape because he did not need it anymore. He is in himself, completed. ~The Long Now~
Cool and distant, :)
Following on from Sirens, good use of space and delicate sounds, haunting.
Chilling and atmospheric, nice.
@Bethan: thanks... my imagery was of drifting far out on the edge of the solar system. A very similar feel... down in the inky depths.

Nice mix mate very cool.
Wind, cold wind right here, with echoes of nothingness - that's where the trick, but not "filtering", Matt, even if you... I think so.

Whatever he said, it works for me.
Sounds like the cops are after me, kept looking over my shoulder ;)

I can't put it any better than m'friend & colleague WS.
I'm still trying to get my head around improvFriday but I'm definitely going to give it another try if I can listen to you playing this kind of stuff!
Love your new sound :)
This isn't the kind of thing I'd normally go for but i like the sound and, as osckilo says, vibe you've got going on in this track.
Fun stuff.
Nice... and too short :)
Good stuff.
Great loop!
Well I enjoyed this.
Sounds good to me man!
Great track Bruce, really enjoyed that.
Cool sound.

Great song guys.
Enjoyed that.
Wish I could come along to one of your rehearsals!
Great track, esp. love the section starting around ~1:45 and the bass, and the synth, and oh everything :)
Oh man, i was just getting into that when it faded..!

Arthur C. Clarke once wrote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". This was truly magical my friend :)
