Had to listen to this twice. Amazing juxtaposition in the intro transforming into something cohesive before brutally ripping itself apart at the end. Powerful and somewhat unsettling!
Wow this is lovely Bruce. I'd really love to get a look at your Max setup and see how you work. Maybe you could do a "producer masterclass" video one day?
I like this a lot. It reminds me why I like making noise pieces and that you shouldn't get hung up on conceptions of "music" as being something. Great noise!
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand
and sky…
This was an experiment today to try and write and record a song in 2 hours. It came out as a lullaby, I wrote it after a neighbor girl asked if she could have her ball back from my yard and I felt like an old man.
what I meant, really, is that I liked the way you felt free to play around with limited materials in this track (and others); and the different colors coming out of one chord is what made me think of Stimmung. It's all about the ear, and you have a good one, rather than theoretical knowledge (though that doesn't hurt, despite what some folks say).
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…

I love this one. Really unusual combination of timbres. Exciting!
Hypnotic with a disturbing edginess.
Like some kind of cosmic pinball game.

Very interesting piece - by the end of it, I felt like I'd been through the Star Gate in '2001'!
Unfamiliar sounds put together in an extraordinary way, great.
Interesting sounds! Very nice!
have no idea how you do this but nice manipulation of voices.
great track reminds me of thumbtacks on piano hammers ! co
Cool
Like it!
Oh I like this. Very unusual. I'd like to know more.
you messing it sounded so damn good. had to download it...it's like it talks to you:)
Arabic scale you say? very good!
Unsettling, emotive, pristine. (I'm in the same room as Bethan Mathis, only I'm drinking one of the dusty bottles from her cellar.)
I see a very large, empty room with paintings on the walls, I'm eating ice cream and listening to you play. Can't be bad!
Woah! Powerful stuff!
This is some bug/Termite language! just listen.....cool!

cool is the word.
[updated]
man, great touches. & thanks for the compliments on 'folly'...cool that you listened all the way through & 'got it'
your vocals are very soothing. songs are great too!
great little tune. the almost falling apart at the seams thing...you pull if off really well...which is harder than many folks think!
such nice tones!

very nice; almost stimmung-like in the chord focus
wonderful stuff...!
