Valley - Spivkurl

Hi there! Happy that you listened to this one! The instrument used is actually barely an instrument, and this was it's death rattle. It sat on my bench for years as a mass of wires and plastic. I did a few long sampling sessions while I still had it around. These got chopped to death later, and turned into this. Not exactly playable as an instrument, but as samples sets for sure! I don't know when this instrument disappeared, but there it went... The "valley" idea, and the corresponding experimentation around this time regarding "audio sculpture" were based on FL Studio's pattern block setup, which is no longer supported. I would make an image with the pattern blacks, each of which corresponded to a certain arrangement in the pattern. This was a more simple one, but "foodcrow" is a more complex one with a different instrument. Was a fun piece of history. Thanks for listening!

Yeah, this is a fun one! I don't think Nuada has found this one yet! Thanks for your kind words!

Thanks so much for your review! I know this is a weird song, but I'm glad you could get into it anyway! I appreciate it!

Thanks for listening to some of my older works! Glad you enjoyed it! I think you forgot to fave it, but that's okay!

Thanks for stopping by to listen to Valley! I'm not too familiar with Daft Punk's stuff, but I appreciate the comparison. I can see what you mean about Josh Wink too. Definitely an industrial vibe to this track in parts. I don't know what THPS is, but I hope you have fun playing to this song! Thanks for the review and the fave!

I'm really happy that you found this track to be inspirational! Whatever makes you want to work on your own stuff is a good thing! Thanks so much for your kind words, it means a lot to me! Take care friend!

Hey thanks so much for faving this one, I really appreciate the kind words! This one was really experimental, so it's good to hear kind words about it! Love your new trance by the way! Thanks for stopping by!

Hey thanks for stopping by to listen! Definitely has an industrial edge to it doesn't it. I wish I had some robots to play the song for! I'm happy that you enjoyed this one and recognized it as a signature track. Thanks for your kind words!

Hey, friend, thanks for stopping by!

I really think that this kind of track is an aquired taste, so I'm glad you an get into it! Sorry that your wife doesn't get it, lol.

Thank you for the kind review!

Yep this one is definitely out there! I'm happy you could enjoy it though! Thanks for listening and reviewing back!

Circuit bent are the best glitches that's why! Thanks for the review!

Thanks a lot my friend. It took me years after I bent some of these instruments to use them in music that I could be satisfied with. In fact this toy is now sitting in a scrap pile, but if I were to go put batteries in the pile, and plug in a 1/4 inch, I'm sure I could coax some new noises out of it. I'm almost done with the album this song will be on, and there's a lot more circuit bent instrumentation on it. Be on the look out for a track "FoodCrow", which was created with the same theory in mind. Thanks for the good feedback.

I would have to agree. It's a new technique for me, I used to be too maximal in a lot of ways, and I think this is an interesting way to overcome the problem. Thanks for listening!

I do feel like I have an endless palette of sounds with which to work from now. Makes it that much harder to chose what kind of sound I'm looking for. Thank you for the reviews!

I never thought of the track being used this way, but I think I see what you mean. Thanks for listening with my description in mind, it's nice to know what other feel and think.

Thanks for listening. Glitches are explicitly enjoyable to create.
