@MMI: Boite Diabolique seems to be quite good at creating those kind of movements. It just seems to naturally fall out of working with it. In fact it might be difficult to avoid them :)

I really like choirs and wanted to add something to this track but originally what I had in mind was a low, held, choral "rumble" to add something organic but ominous.
But I couldn't make that work and ended up with these chopped swells drifting in and out instead. Not the same effect at all.

Other then the choir, it reminds me of a windy night up in a canyon. Well...a little more ominious....so maybe spending a windy night in a canyon with no fire or flashlight, surrounded by wolves, and your sitting on a box of meat...alone in the dark......something like that....
In short i really like it.

Very cool. Really like the way the sound changes almost as though we moving through a space. Sometimes oppressive and closed, sometimes open, always dark. And that choir following us around like a full moon on those long night drives...

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…

The exquisite bass was performed by my friend Edo Castro, but everything else was done on a Waldorf XTk.
In fact, originally the bass line was from an entirely other recording. What I did was to mute the other tracks and record all new ones…

Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.
Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…

Uploaded a new version which fixes the drums although there's still a feedback problem (related to MIDI timing I think) that needs to be fixed in a final mix.

Okay this is the problem with mixing being "throw a mastering channel strip on it, bounce, upload". At some point about the 2 minute mark the drums track have cut out - probably overloaded Reaktor again. So then you get 2:30 that is largely just the bass.
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

When you do this kind of track it evokes a feeling of travelling without moving.
It reminds me of being a passenger in a car on a motorway at night, slightly tired and letting the world glide, carelessly, past me.
I've always liked that feeling.

I'm vibrating.....
Pardon?!
@Sis: Have to be careful of things swooping on you strangely :)
Very atmospheric, strangely swooping and ethereal for the thickness.

@MTC: lol... thank you
That choir chant coming in and out definitely makes this more psychedelic and somewhat disorienting... Nice textures & space.
Other then the choir, it reminds me of a windy night up in a canyon. Well...a little more ominious....so maybe spending a windy night in a canyon with no fire or flashlight, surrounded by wolves, and your sitting on a box of meat...alone in the dark......something like that....

Reminds me of my days working in the Denebian trilithium mines.
@bethan: probably i need about 50' clearance all around!
So, it's going to be a detached one, I take it!! Stirring stuff Bags!
That was really cool mate.
Very cool hypnotic sounds!
The video is essential to even approach comprehension of this. Wild stuff!
The fun police are looking for you. Very cool.
That looks like far too much fun.
Oh, Bags, that's creepy stuff!
Wild system.

Welcome Seth :)
Perfect Sunday morning track.
Oh man that was great.
ack...foo... no edits... channelling...
I believe Sister is channel the shorts... or something :)
That was rather fun :)
Love your sound.
Love this.
I enjoyed this one very much.
Cool sound.
What an awesome track, I love this.
Awesome track man, this puts me in mind of my beloved Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks. Kudos to you!
Very chilled. Bring on the full track.
I'm really liking your stuff and happy to see a fellow Logic user!

Fabulous sound. Liked this one very much.
I love the hauntingly distant piano's you've created here. Very much.
I was so totally there. Awesome.
