Ooh! that was kinda tickle-ish. Zero Cool!!

cool sounds, really like this tune, crisp

Nice... and too short :)

cool

thanks y-alll

Great track Bruce, really enjoyed that.

Damn Bruce this is banging! more like this.....i like when you muse the sounds dowsteam ohhh yes.

Cool mix.

Ballsy beginnings! Gutsy middle! Haven't heard the end yet. This MOVES!

eerie sounds and shifts!

i like it

fantastic!

nicely chilled!

shortcut stem cell ayala on minimal groove...playful and tasteful!

truly wild excesses of sound!

Sound's like the horn's are going backwards. Differently Kool...wow!

jeez i didn't know what on earth this was when it first came on!! interessin stuff :-)

nice bruce!

Had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was coming next. Very clever.

i've never tried gating one track to another. going to try now though. I use gates all the time, but I dont know they are there. built into a drum synth or a bass synth, both applied after recording say, a guitar track. I'm quite certain that those effects work by gate and trigger. Audacity has a gate effect, which I have almost entirely overlooked. certainly didn't know it could do that!

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.
