This is a really nice track. This genre of music is very under rated. You've made this glitch track into into an elctro-dub track. It has a bit of a dark edge to it, but seems to have something lighter inside of it. Definitely cinematic and sci-fi. You've given me an a deeper appreciation for glitch with this track.

This is a very sonically comfortable experiment! I like how the drums seem to effect the other sounds in some unexplained way. Very cool flow to the arrangement. Nice work!

The MIDI controllers 1-128 were routed into a Mandelbrot( ie.,fractal) differential algorithm ( which I was toying about with in TieraZon), which assumed control over each track dynamic and the associated track effect levels. The composition was prearranged in the buffers before placement into the DAW by another `quadratic' formula which followed a standard composition formula for the verses and the chorus - AABA; the breaks, hooks and general mayhem were the result of a buffer overflow created by the algorithms jamming up the CPU prior to flushing( LiveCut was used and it does this, too), so I have my doubts as to whether the math was entirely responsible for some of the stuff on this track. P.S. I am dead serious - the implications are huge.( Newton's Laws will be mangled next.:))

This is amazing! Your experiment in algorithm programming applied to tune structures is so groovy, it really makes me wonder about the implications. Could an upcoming genre of music be based entirely on orbital position calculations, or the algorithms behind genetic code? If so, I ##### there's some beautiful and surprising melodies waiting to be found. The rhythms behind the melody here are great, and I think the glitch breaks work better than anywhere I've heard before. I do however have a pop/click sound consistently around 3:37, and I wonder if anyone else experiences this? Nasty artifact, but easily fixed. Had to fave this one!

[Feb `11 Edit]
This one still feels so seminal somehow. Like the emergence of sentience from levels of complexity within the digital flux fields. Outstanding and equally provocative.

Yeah, I was so pressed for time that I did not remix and render appropriately.( groveling with apologies). At any rate - I will reload after rewriting and remixing it in a few days. The original version (there are three) had a flaw but had something that I can't describe - could it be "soul" ? This one comes real close. Music for the 21st century? Hmmm...
