Hi all, out of the many uncompleted sketches, I chose to share this one:

This is really great. The locked groove really gives the impression that time/motion is slowing and revealing itself at a granular level.

Love the bowed basses on this. A great, open and warm sound you’re getting from them.

Lots of interesting sounds here, I felt like I was exploring a space rather than listening to a song. It doesn’t strike me as unfinished but obviously that is up to you. Very cool.

This is a musically structured and timbrely rich piece. Lovely interplay of all the members of your combo. Improvised it may be, but a distinctive shape has arisen as the layers give shape to the piece. It feels composed. It has life and feels uplifting, like a wildflower in the spring. You proved Miles right about the mistakes thing. Well done. And a good sound, overall, from your lovely cello.

Hey all, very much enjoyed cupping my ear to the doors of yer woodsheds & trying to figure out what the feck was going on in there! I’m gonna be busy for a little while so might not be back for a month or so, if I can resist! - so far it’s been really helpful creatively, & good soul food too. Thanks & Catch yooze laters! x

@disquiet - enjoyed watching your talk, it was nice to get some history on the group, and it stimulated me to do some more thinking about rules, thank you.

@bassling - beautiful and very soothing, loved the way the swells of the music added drama to the wavering flow of the seaweed and water - the being dunked was rather exhilirating - the wandering bubbles with the fizzy granular sounds - lovely.

@homeontheland - loved that, interesting to see old footage/material given new resonances, and the music is wonderful.

@Ethan_Hein - very nice! Reminds me a bit of Susumu Yokota’s Symbol, well worth checking out if you don’t know it!

@mdh - cool, got a kind of 80s vibe but without actually sounding like it was made then, somehow - love the title, definitely the mood of the track complements it and creates an interesting atmosphere that it’s easy to imagine scenes to - the office itself, searching through the piled high filing cabinets for the thread that will bring it all together

@duckpow - love the texture of that, like sand underwater!

@fakeg3nius - really love the organic quality of the sounds, the tone or something they have? Rusty robo-dustbin rave in a dark mossy forest. Would love to listen to more of this!

@krakenkraft - i love that, how gentle and delicate the melody is, with the lovely little glassy glitches falling off it…

@mateo - nice bass man, yeah wonderful mellow track, building very nicely - the different styles of playing all work really well together, truly appreciated listening!

@RABID - thank you mate - i’m not sure about it at all myself today, but really appreciate your comment/feeling it - i think i would tidy the conversation a bit, and bring the melody in loads loads earlier - can be weird how much ones (mine at least, concerning my own stuff) impressions can change from time to time, i guess if a piece can weather those kinds of ups&downs it might come out well seasoned eventually - all the best with getting back into the piano ! (I loved your tune from last week too, btw)

I recommend to listen to @GlennSogge and @RABID at the same time, which I unintentionally did …

Considering caustic: By whatsoever reason it became my favourite DAW (mostly mobile, of course) and this is sometimes bad, because it’s very limited. But my workflow after three years or so has become so fast with it, that for me it’s really more productive that sitting in front of Ableton Live 10 with it’s endless possibilities but hurdles, wherever I want to go. FX I tried Korg Gadget: Better sounds, but the workflow is simply not mine …

Thank you so much for this elaborate feedback! What you say about space is a frequent issue for me. Towards the end of the process I’m usually busy inserting silences into my tracks. Interestingly I didn’t feel the need to do it in this case.

@PopGoblin: Enjoyed this. For me, the distorted drum sound took me back to the sound of the Commodore 64’s SID chip and the wonderfully crunchy and melodic saw wave oomph that you hear in some of the best C64 soundtracks.

@Forelight: I really like the wispy tails that are generated from the modulated (?) delay treatments throughout this. It’s like there’s a vapour trail in the wake of the gestures/actions.

@fbusche: Love a bit of happy brass! Reminiscent of Eno’s ‘unwelcome jazz’ (his term) of the early 90s. The middle section is pretty delightful. That Sub 37 glues it all together.

@project-dirigent ligent: This is incredible work - it’s got the feeling of complex organisation transcribed to an orchestral arrangement. I’m astounded how natural everything sounds here.
