Thank you for that positive vibe! Sorry for the late reply!

Thank you for listening!

Sorry it did not live up to your expectations. Just doing my thing.

Thank you for listening!

Thank you for listening and commenting!

Gracias!

Thank you for listening, and sorry for the late reply!

Thank you again BLEEP for your listens and words, and your support!

When I made this song, and in the time following, this song would almost always make me cry. These days it simply gives me hope. Those animals were innocent bystanders in a war that they did not choose. Some fell, like in all wars. Some survived. I chose to fight, since no one else would, and several battles were won on behalf of the "civilians."

Thank you for finding a deep track!

You are too kind to leave a comment like this on an "older" song!

This song used to make me more sad than anything, and it made me a bit proud to have the effect on myself, ha ha. Now thing are different... better and worse. All I can do is keep my cool, and FU the man when I can.

I've been freeing up room in my studio spaces so I can dance more while mixing, so hopefully it will just getter better. I don't know clubs very well.

I'm happy you enjoyed the tune. Thank you! Have a good one.

Hey Bear, it makes me really happy that you enjoyed listening to this track! It's still really special to me, though it has a very different emotional effect on me than at first, which is okay... I too like to feel a bass, and in a song like this, it's so important for the neurological healing properties. Interesting that you mention details, as it still feels really simple. Thank you so much for all your support recently, and over the years!

Hey man, been a while it seems! Hope you are well! Happy that you enjoyed listening to this one. From what I remember it was a great outlet to create... hope I can live up to this in the future. It's so enjoyable to make minimal techno, and I have to force myself to do something different sometimes. Thanks so much for the good comment!

Hey thanks friend for the comment! I guess I don't recall what exactly made the bass so isolated, but I do know that it was sampled from a one-shot... I'll say just that. Was a fun song to create for sure, so I'm happy that you enjoy listening! Take care!

Hey buddy, this comment means a lot to me! It's always a good feeling when someone can feel where you were coming from when listening! It's an important track for me, and it makes me happy it's been well received. In fact it's the most played techno track on Looperman now! Schweet. I'll be swinging by your page in a moment! Thanks much!

Hey thank you friend! Good to hear from you! Sorry about the late reply, I got behind. Thanks again!

Hey friend, thank you for the supportive comment! Happy that you enjoyed listening! Hope you are well!

Hey, thanks much! Happy that you enjoyed listening! I always get into trying something new (to me at least). I really appreciate the feedback!

Hello, and thank you for your comment! I'm happy that you enjoyed the musical elements in the track! It is not a horribly complex or involved piece, but I succeeded in translating the moment to my ears. Yes you are right, everyone suffers, it is part of the human experience... however, our responsibility to humans is as caretakers of this earth and this reality - to impose suffering on, or to be an enabler of suffering to the members of this existence is to me the peak of weakness and failure. I appreciate your comments!

Thank you for the comment!

Hello, and thank you for your kind comment! This is definitely one of my more successful efforts in regards to emotional effect, atleast to my brain. It's intended as minimal techno, and between the tempo, the way the bass was created, and the sounds used I would say it's pretty much that. I think most people have their own idea of what techno sounds like, and thus from a creative point of view it's pretty open. I appreciate you stopping by, sorry for the late reply!

Hey friend, no need to apologize regarding timing of a review. Not like I'm in a hurry to replace the song or anything. After releasing the album I'm mostly in sound design and instrument building mode now, so don't have much for new songs yet. Subdued, yes I would agree... it was a very sad and angry time, and I allowed myself to just do a pure expression sort of work. I think it was helpful for me. I've had my stagnant moments as well, but it's worth fighting against it on a daily basis. Thank you very much for the listen and comment!

Hey friend, thank you so much for your enhanced words! I'm happy that you enjoyed listening to this one. It took me quite a while to listen to the final master without an emotional outburst, so I guess that is probably a good sign. I don't really do much that is not weird, but I'm sure you've learned that by now. To be compared with Dali is a new one, and I'm honored. I appreciate you stopping in to listen and comment!

Hey, thank you GC! I can't say for sure, but I've been thinking that this is one of the most authentic and successful tracks I've done. It was almost pure instinct, which is hard to capture sometimes. Bass was so simple that it surprises me every time. I still think of you as NeoBane, so it's an adjustment having the Chopin moniker show up. Hope you are well!

SN, I appreciate your honest reactions to things deeply, so thank you for your further response. In my time on Looperman, I have gravitated towards giving my opinion on tracks or styles that I'm not really into. This has many benefits, including but not limited too; me hearing types of music that I wouldn't normally (hence having more varied influences as compared to previously), effecting artists which I wouldn't otherwise with my artistic preferences, and contributing more fully in the community which embraces all sorts of ideals. You are right, we do have very different tastes, but we are both artists in the strictest sense of the word. If you don't feel like giving criticism on a track you don't enjoy, that's no problem by me. I understand your interpretation of the high frequency parts of this track, and don't mind the opinion. I guess that I appreciate that even I hear something new every time I hear the song, even though I made it. Haven't achieved that much before. It is a track which is more intended to be heard on a setup with good low end or a sub, You seem to gravitate more to mid range frequencies, while I am repelled by them. I am rarely up for 18 hours any more. I keep a moderate healthy schedule, up around sun rise and in bed when I'm getting tired. I've had my sleep deprived life for long enough, and now I like to live the way the plants do. Get my light therapy by default upstairs when smoking my morning love cigarette. I honestly have only gotten a small amount of response to the new album, and I think that is partly due to the late summer (northern hemisphere) release of it. Atleast around here, people have been acting like it's the end of the world and it's the only time they'll have to do anything useful ever again... hence not inside listening to free music. Also, it seems to be my most depressing album ever, so I don't blame anyone. Thank you again for the response! I always value your opinions and contribution!

Hey friend, thank you for the supportive comment! I consider it a win if you're listening to techno and you dance til you forget what you're listening to! So that makes me happy! I appreciate you stopping by!

Hey thanks buddy! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment! Happy that you enjoyed. Hope you are well!

Thank you very much for taking a listen and leaving a comment! Obviously some people are questioning whether this is really techno, but I have no other idea of what it would be. It's got the right sort of tempo, it's not half-time, prominent kick and bass... minimal techno. The use of delays and things is integral to this track, it repetitive but always changing in subtleties. Thanks for your support! I agree good music is good music, there is something to be enjoyed in all genres.

Hey buddy, nice to see you here! Very happy that you enjoyed the listen, as I'm proud of the track. Thank you very much for the kind words!

Thank you for the comment!

Thanks for the comment!

It's weird, every now and then I get a comment which doesn't alert me by email... such as this one. Oh well. Very much appreciate your words here, so thank you for that! Nice to have an Aphex comparison, even though I don't really listen to that stuff in recent years. That part of my life can burn in hell... heh. I love sampling SO MUCH, especially when I can make a sweet sounding bass line from just a one shot like this. Yes, smoke it up to this one! When listening to my album, I recommend a double espresso to start with, followed by a very large joint. Thanks for the comment!

Hey SN, good to hear from you! Honestly suspected that I chased you away or something... good to know better. Checked out that video you linked to, it's pretty cool, and I guess I can hear the parallels... mainly tempo range and percussion style. Couldn't hear much strong bass in their song though. I understand what you say about the piercing notes, I think the effect is not nearly as pronounced when heard at CD quality on a good stereo setup... which is really how my album is meant to be heard. What's a late night? You mean 11 AM? That's when I'm too wasted to dance hard... heh only sort of kidding... Thanks much for the listen and feedback!

Hey DRO, thank you for listening and leaving feedback! Can't complain about the afterhours Berlin reference! Never been there, but I'm sure I would have a blast. Appreciate your support!

Hello friend, thanks much for taking a listen! One of my favorite tracks that I've done, but I think it may just be me. The bass does really get to me on this, glad you liked it too! If you grab the album, I hope you enjoy it! Appreciate the feedback!

Hey thank you friend! How do I come up with this kind of stuff? ... I guess my best answer would be a combination of studying techniques associated with minimal techno and watching my friends getting murdered... together it adds up to listenable techno which is emotionally devastating. I really appreciate the listen and feedback!

Thank you buddy for the listen and comment! Always a pleasure to hear from you!

Thank you my friend for your positive feedback! This song marks a bit of a turning point in the album I think, and it still makes me a little emotional. It's a very simple song, but it achieved what I was going for. Hope that you enjoy the album!

Hey thanks my friend for the words! That is definitely one of my favorite styles of techno, but I'm no expert. This is one of my favorite songs, especially considering I've never felt good at techno. It's enough to shed a tear knowing what it came out of. I always appreciate your listens and your viewpoint!

Thank you for the comment. Appreciated!
