May cause speaker and frontal lobe damage.

This track is cool, dark and fast....

do you know the main intro sound track of "Event Horizon".. ?
It sounds very close to this one....
By the way its one of my main beloved movies (I think its one of the best in sci-fi genre), I can view more than one time! nice dark & dangerous athmosphere and cool visual fx...

Thanks hifiboom -
I know the movie and enjoyed it - didn't remember the opening tune though.
Thanks for the link - I see Orbital were involved as well

Sounds good & as wild as ever. I'd like to hear the drums more up front & maybe a bit harsher too. Have you heard much Spring Heel Jack? His "Busy Curious Thirsty" album is worth a listen or 5 if you've not heard it.

Keep up the good work!!!

Hey Shroomz - thanks for the encouragement.
I haven't heard any Spring Heel Jack - but I'll check it out.

I did try to push the drums a little more - but it became annoying - maybe I'll have to listen again with fresh ears. I've been working on so much stuff lately - trying to get enough "noisy"(controlled) stuff done for my CD.

Spring Heel Jack will blow your mind, seriously !!!

What were you using for the drums btw?

Drums are layered loops - sliced and diced and put through various overdrive / distortion effects.

I had a little listen to some Spring Heel Jack - you're right - pretty amazing stuff.
Apparently one of the seminal DnB artists.

Yeah, he's a legend, but not what you'd expect from someone labelled as a dnb artist. I suppose he had to slot into the whole genre thing somewhere & since dnb is probably his biggest audible influence, there he went...

Yeah - EVERYONE has to be pigeon holed - so it seems.

Anyway - I like his stuff.

I also like what Richard Devine is doing - blows me away

Maybe we pigeon hole ourselves through jamming, composing etc based on our mind's perception of music no matter what supposed styles influence our thoughts. I think we need to break free somehow.

I would like to hear all of these somehow combined into one large piece.

Well I'm working on the "Skintight Noise Squid" thing . . .
Actually - I found myself changing direction so much on the project that I lost sight of it.
It was always just a collection of "feelings" associated with words / images / dreams - nothing concrete.
I found I was focussing too much on DnB / Glitch elements - trying to be clever but not really feeling any of it . . void . . . confused and disheartened.
Then THAT became the theme and it's something that I am actually feeling.

All tracks you have commented on are potential pieces of it.

I'm attempting to put it all together to represent the "mashed potato carpet" that is my mind :D

Yup - it's probably pretentious . . self indulgent drivel .. a meditation on the obscure / obtuse ..
I just want to explore (without the aid of drugs) and make the compilation something a bit special.

I can never focus and be more selective about what I create - and that's really because I never start with a clear / conscious ideation. Things take shape and morph as I experiment.
However, I CAN be more selective about which pieces to put into the puzzle now. I just need more suitable material - could take a while.

That's all probably too much information - but just wanted to try and explain.
:D
