This must be an "all night" diner.

That was awesome guys.

Shorty but Goldie.

~lights are extinguished, one by one~

thanks for including me!!

floats well

nice

Really nice Bruce. I do wish I could figure out improvFriday. Every time I think about it I go to the site and have no clue what to do next or how people upload or even if they are welcome to. It's all so baffling.

Gotta get your daily fix of XHMP ! You and Vaisvil, Are my microtonal gurus. Nice

singing? very cool.

Cool percussive things here. Abstract lounge music?

Spectacular.

What a multitude of sounds in there. Reminds me of gale force wind and wind chimes.

I like this a lot - more than like this is great! To my ears it sounds like a microtonal progressive rock song.

Claustrophobic and dizzying - very clever!

4th-11 looping coolness..

'...a rising sound...white rabbit!'

awesome mood booster bruce!

this one is beautiful to listen to. not that manic at all. classical with an uptempo, but the notes change slowly, and melodically.

is this what i would call a giant chinese table harp?

thanks re skree. the thing about noise (for me) is it can be so fun! there's a built-in visceral excitement and the challenge is harnessing it into musical contexts. man, Lao Jia is hypnotizing me!

very cool.

the BackvieW stuff is excellent. I will check out your more recent material soon. [also, I have a lot of exp/drony stuff down in my playlists that you might like.]

pretty fucking cool!

thanks guys. I've been busy and have catching up to do on this site...looking forward to more listening! as for this track (and many others in this category) it's a mashup of stuff from improvfriday.ning ; basically there's a weekly "event" where brand new stuff gets posted (improv-based or written for IF) and then some of us do quick mashes and post within the same event. sometimes the mashes leave the originals somewhat intact, sometimes it's a full-blown reorganization of materials. the main thing for me is it's fun as fuck!

beautiful Tom; congrats on the project Jukka-Pekka.

thanks y-alll

great; such an earthy sound out of the SMS & FM chips!

I especially like this one, with its rich, blurred sonorities. yum.

WS, I added no additional sound sources. The trebly stuff is Paul Muller's piece, which is actually a kind of Steve Reich-ish texture with a midi chamber ensemble. I gated it so it only sounds when David's guitar (which is also slightly gated) reaches a certain threshold. There's a tiny bit of release and then additional decay from reverbs (different one for the guitar). Can't remember what I else I did, mostly sweetneing. For me, a fairly "hands-off" mash, compared to what I usualy do, and an experiment in discongruity, or even cognitive dissonance (I'm a sucker for that stuff). Anyway, again, it's formally still David's wonderfully spasmodic improvisation, but with Muller's contrasting sound also being uttered with every guitar gesture. So it's little improv experiment and I liked the way it sounded.

compelling track, I like it. In other context the faux drums might bother me but here the strange elements seem to compliment each other; or a sense of conscious artifice. PS I like your Ives

interesting idea, Chris; indeed this could turn into a song of sorts. It was just a quick IF mash where Paul's continuous consonant minimalist texture is chopped into discrete chunks by virtue of being gate-triggered by David's raucous guitar. I also declined my usual pitch-shifting and enjoyed the found intervallic & xenharmonic dissonances; & discongruity in general (mood/texture/tonality). So to me it's more like a hyper-instrument extension of David's original improvisation.

cool. I like your range of work (a fellow eclectic). re: twikk, there may be some beating effects thought they weren't explicitly planned. there's certainly a crapload of hard, random panning.

folks, this is one of the great tracks included (and altered) in the mash I posted a couple days ago.

@vaisvil, pretty much; it's a lot of pasting, stacking, pitch-shifting, time-shifting of the original utterance (no extra samples used).

visceral and compelling

cool. vaguely reminiscent of Ozzy's "Diary..." (and early Sabbath as well).

very nice indeed!

like it; cool that you're making nice stuff with M4L. I'm also going to check out your LM software. thanks for checking out Body Dis in full; glad you enjoyed it.

cool (as in chilly, in a nice way). hmmm, i read "cannabis" at first.
