It's freakin cool, even if it is a couple years old! It's great to hear some "unreleased" stuff from you.

Seems like you have gotten a real feel for that MPC rig! The sound makes me drool a bit, like Aphex used to... This may be a bit to dynamically processed for my tastes, but I also realize that you can't go back and change anything. There is something to be said for that, of course, and it's what live interaction is all about.

Your interaction with the Moog was also interesting. That's a synth I haven't become familiar with yet. I was going to assume that it was direct competition for Korg's mono* series, but I see, after looking it up that I was wrong! That's a pretty hardcore piece of gear! There's the drool again.

Okay, I'm listening again, since it's "dense." I also see that you allow download, so thank you for that!

I find myself wondering about the mastering in this song, and I'm sure that's simply a personal obsession. Songs like this, and a bunch of others on Looperman, make me feel like I am losing the loudness war within myself. I have made some songs that are purposely so quiet, that in hindsight it just seems ridiculous... at the same time, I've made songs that are so loud as to be painful. Thanks for be a "collaborator" in the war.

Big fave, and I will download. Thanks for sharing!

Spiv,

Yes the mastering is sounds a little crushed for me as well, I was definitely trying to compete in the loudness war :P It's listenable I think, though, and I really enjoyed making the track, such is life sometimes..no offense taken, btw, if I seem defensive -- I appreciate your observations.

Yeah the MPC is my main weapon these days! It's a relatively simple sampler and sequencer but it's really fun to get creative with sounds...and a completely different sort of feel comes out when resampling literally everything on pads and finger drumming them out. I love it, hehehe

Once again, thanks for listening.
Cheers,
Matt

I was meaning to add a comment to this track. That is why I favorited it :) Again, this sound just speaks to me. If you have a soundcloud, I would love to follow you. Do you know that feeling that you forgot something, but can't remember what it is even connected to? That is the feeling that this song gives me. Which, for me, is a good thing. Keep on making cool music!

There's a lot of crazy strange beauty going on here. The depth and texture of the music intrigues me tremendously. Should it be longer? Could it be longer? Hell yeah, but great track!
