Description : Collaboration with alividlife and dungbeatl. Final version - dungbeatl bass additions.

Pushing the boundaries of "unobtrusive" but both "atmospheric" and "visual," hence the current generic plug.

Created with 4 MIDI tracks on Live, with a heavily manipulated sample from an Anomaly Jones' `pella. Five tracks/loops by alividlife, and put together by me. Can't help but wonder what his version would be (hint). Four bass loop/tracks provided by dungbeatl.

The title is rather self-evident, and connects to further explorations of my project Music to have a Rebellion To. The track is about rising levels of complexity and the emergence of order from the flux. It's the sound of the slow alchemical furnace in the context of biology.

Cannot believe it's taking this long to find this one. Sweet ambient work here. I love how you manipulate samples into ambient works of art. Very dark to me. I really like how this track somehow keeps a tempo through chaos. Very cool.

That tempo is why I still scratch my head and wonder if it's really Ambient. It's hard for this to play and not grab my attention, but then maybe it's always that way for the "creator" of a work. I think this one works so well because its creation really was an evolution - the first draft inspiring alividlife to send some things, and that inspiring dungbeatl/simmerdown to lay down some base. Each time I'd rework what they'd sent based on the internal evolution. One of the coolest projects I've worked on to date. Really glad you like this one!

I've been away for a while, but it seems like I reviewed one of the first tracks you put on this site....man, you were good then, but this is fantastic.

I would also say I picked the right track to come back to. This is nothing short of absolute sensory brilliance. Seriously, one of the best listens I've had in a while.

I see Bill referenced Pink Floyd. I think they would have been honored to have this in their library.

Faved and I hope you have been well.

Barry! Oh man, I'm glad to see your back and more importantly still - alive and kicking!

Yeah, you were the very first person to review my first track when I joined. I actually met Simon (ensam) when you deleted your account shortly after. What a trip - I've become a mod since then.

Thanks for the kind review, and especially for alerting me to your return. I've been away for about 3 months, so this is a delightful surprise indeed! Thank you!

always a pleasure checking back in with your tracks. they are all very awesome and atmospheric. you have a way with synths an combining ambient noises to create ideas. its like a musical brainstorm know what i mean? i like how the track continues to melt into one harmonic sounding body, as the background synth creates this sort of deep thought. its like you were thinking of change and it manifested with strange and random notes, but it all ended up jamming and sounding awesome. but however you did it, with whatever train of thought you did it. i likke it and enjoyed this trackk very much.

as always keep making music brother.

like you tunes as always!

The coolest thing for me as a musical artist on this site has been giving myself license to do my own thing. What a liberating thing. And finding that some people actually dig it makes it really rewarding. On this track, I did only MIDI work (with the sample of Anomaly J's voice) as an experiment to see if something synthetic could sound organic. Having it inspire both alividlife and dungbeatl into making stuff for it was really flattering and really changed the entire dynamic is big ways. I think it's the closest thing I've done with this medium to actually jamming with other musicians, and it can really be heard in this final version. Thanks for the review, I always really dig what you have to say!

WOWWWWW....

Every one in awhile, I come across a track that intrigues the hell out of me. This track took me to another level of thinking and I want to think you for that. Everything is well placed and the organization is wonderful. Wow. Science is present and is a force in this track. Literally, my mind went numb. I like this. Will be one of my favorite.

Nice - another member whose music I haven't heard! Thanks for letting me know you're here. You're the first on my list to check out now. I'm glad you enjoyed this one - as it's my first collab here on the site, I must admit feeling really good about it. One of those that exceeded my own expectations, and that's a very cool thing. It really was a deliberate experiment to see if certain sounds could shift the listener's consciousness, and this review makes me think that they can. Thanks for the review and favorite - big time compliment there! Cheers!

Hey my friend

What a spine tingling track with the affects etc, but so love it,one of those tracks that I had to listen to it right to the very end, just incase you miss something, thats the affect this track has, that you have to listen and not leave half way through, great collab, stunning affects and arrangement mate, one of the nicest tracks heard here, massive instant Fav my friend...Thank you and Peace...Estefano...

But is it music? lol - Thanks Estefano. This one was a trip to make, and each version a little bit deeper into trippiness.

haha, I started recording this chicks baby crying thru guitar amps lol....

I have been trying to fit my guitar stuff, and I just can't seem to find the "melody"...
I mean, I could use my guitar as a drone, something to entice the lulls of strings... (I like how you did it!)

But wow man! This certainly could be used within a documentary focusing on the minuscule reality that is acids and creation and evolution, and everything--- life....
evolution of sounds...
evolution of thinking...
evolution of the soul!

It's kind of cold, but thriving... unexplainable and undeniable.

I like that we can thrive on those levels conceptually ... you and I... even Dungbeatl!

Yah man, ... this kicks the living crap out of my first collab lol
n0mad23
n0mad23 replied Unknown
Three levels of inspiration, (or 5 depending on how you look) each arising from the previous sonic experience - what more can be asked for? I love how the only "loop" in this is a sample from a `pella and that the track's creation reflects the "emergent complexity" of the concept. Thanks so much for this Abe, this was way cooler than I'd expected - the whole experience including the final draft.

Amazing description, amazing music, very visual. This is like order coming into the cloud of elements making up the thought of existence. The visuals in my head are remarkable: kind of like that bell-ish sound is a strange character putting an oxygen tank onto some sort of wall. They have masks on. There is a big heaving sort of master controller organism in the peripheral. Soft electricity is going off in the peripheral. The dudes are giving the controller some sort of new abilities, a new module. It is breathing from the foreground now. It has more than 1 instance of itself now. Kinda like gremlins: guess you all fed it after dark. Ah showering now in it's own enhancers. Exponential growth now. 4:45. Wow. You've so got to do an animation for this. Excellent job everyone. Was AJ the organism? Must have been some Easter.

n0mad23 replied Unknown
The goal was music to invoke deep states of contemplation, and judging from your review I'd say it's working! There's life lurking beneath all that MIDI foundation, and it's really cool that it inspired alividlife and dungbeatl to play along to it. That they recorded this and handed it over for me to play with and arrange was an amazing experience. For a first collaboration, I can't think of a better outcome. Thanks for reviewing!

oh you know i like this, the bass is spine tingling, i have visions of trenching thru the amazon, a film by werner hertzog comes to my mind Aguirre, the Wrath of God.has the same intensity , that film haunted me for many years, but this track will give me inspiration for as many.
that sound in the first 5 seconds is awesome, track is inspiring daydreams, thanks
n0mad23
n0mad23 replied Unknown
That first five seconds is what I did with Anomaly Jone's `pella sample, and it seemed important to get something organic and human in this. I hadn't considered it, but Aquirre is an interesting point of connection - so much watery stuff in the rain forest! Really glad you dig this one, and thanks a lot for faving it! Thanks!

Hey its been a real pleasure hearing this one evolve into a finished product, that deep John Carpenter style bass really grows on you as does the overall projections.
Still has that strong scientific feel to it, lab experimentations, possible cloning.
Reading your other reviews its amazing the different imageries people get from this piece, i guess that's what ambient music does provoke the mind and draw out those 'auditory hallucinations' you speak about.

A job well done.

cheers.

n0mad23 replied Unknown
rei - glad it resonates for you the musical artist! Really drew from various sources of inspiration in this one, but took the challenge raised by the "ambient" thread in the forum. To me, the genre has lost a lot of meaning over the years, and yet the basis is so vital and important. Music is truly an emotional language, and the impulse of Ambient music should be to specifically touch specific emotions and mental states deliberately. This one is designed to invoke deep states of contemplation. Great stuff having alividlife's inspiration and elements woven into this!

This would MAKE a cheesy sci-fi flick happen! lol. I love your test tube invocation - though it's primarily and authentically Ambiance, we've definitely pushed it deep into the territory of Experimental music. "Music that ceases to be music and replicates itself" - yeah! Cheers for that. Music inspired by the transcription of RNA. No antidote in sight, but lots of temptation to experiment some more! Thanks Dave.

Some interesting sounds here. The imagery this conjures in my mind is a kind of brief synopsis of the history of machinery - from 18th century steam power to genetically manipulated and "purpose grown" bio-mechanics. In fact Bio-mechanoid would have made a good alternative title.

Consistently you are a great listener! I'm astounded that you hear the conceptual things I'm both drawing from and making a nod at. This really is a piece about interpreting Nature's Machinery with the limitations of human experience. We create things in Our Own Image. Thanks for such a profound and insightful review! You've got to be a good reader, too - you keep it grounded in the text!

This is pretty interesting, kinda freeky in a way. Very cinematic as well, maybe in a science fiction thriller!! The sounds complete a great mind trip and really stir the emotions, you just have to stay away from the brown acid when you listen to this one, lol.

I like it, very creative soundscape, the bass has a nice low tone that you added, sounds great in the headphones!!
n0mad23
n0mad23 replied Unknown
I wonder if I shouldn't put in a disclaimer "Warning - this track draws from the Post-Industrial branch of Ambient Music: Not to Chill Out to." As a deliberate attempt at Ambient music, my goal here really is to create auditory hallucinations and some sort of altered state of consciousness in the listener. It's working for me - and I suspect others too if your "stay away from the brown acid" comment is an indication. Thanks for the review and favorite! To your offerings at first available moment!

Trippy to say the least, an epic voyage into soundscape. The life story of a satilite thrown deep into the cold depths of space. To discover new life or to have new life discover it. The first emotional response was fear but that gently warmed into curiousity of the unknown. The deep bass rezonating and throbbing had some wonderful sonic manipulation... cool stuff! The high-end frequencies have nice depth to them as the spin and swirl. Very nice work and thank you for sharing...---> floats back to reality dl-_-lb

*04.18.10 ~ noticed the update, plugged in headphones sat back and closed eyes...(4min51sec silence)... wow! I could hear a heartbeat growing stronger and stronger, this is alive. This has a soul. Technique is wonderful. I really enjoy your style.

n0mad23 replied Unknown
I'm really pleased with the bassline, and manipulated it throughout most of the track. With the next version, I've achieved the most automation with any single recording to date. Fingers flying to keep everything slowly shifting. I'm rather pleased with the development of this. Thanks for the review.

I'm digging it too! Though I didn't hear the first draft. This is a very cool colab! That's so creative how you manipulated the vocals to add to the soundscape! I really like that idea of "Music to have a rebellion to", and I can definitely hear that aspect of this track. This is just mechanical enough to remind me of the mechanism of society that puts us into little boxes, I hope that's not an insult, as it's not meant that way. I love the bass on this track, it's like it's talking to me! ah ah get out of my head, there's enough voices in there already...haha. Amazing song you guys, I'm very impressed!
n0mad23
n0mad23 replied Unknown
I was a bit apprehensive of the mechanical feel here, including that loping rhythm but feel better with this review. You get it! There's a tension created for me that tickles that 'rebellion' impulse. The driving bass was the second MIDI sequence I did and the sound that convinced me to keep going. Thanks for the review and encouragement!

Hello...and whats this..just checking out your profile for music and stumbled upon this...what a find!
Understandable why you would create a piece like this, sound and science seems to be the order of things.

Wow man you are showing some real diversity in style with this one, yeah this is clinical white coat material, injections and pills all in the name of science. love this deepness. well done man a great demonstration in ambient music. cheers

(Edit.where was that pella?) :)
n0mad23
n0mad23 replied Unknown
10 points to Salook for finding the first draft! It's turned into a collaboration with alividlife, and I'm still playing with the possibilities there. The next draft will be considerably different, but I'm think you'll recognize this draft behind it. The `pella is the first thing you hear, and weaves in and out throughout, but doesn't qualify as as vocals anymore except for the presence. Glad you're digging it, I really wasn't sure if anyone would.

The realization, and inevitable acceptance that the last ember of life is smouldering into obscurity. Then finally, and peacefully, exhaling the final breath of life.
This is a dark ambient track that will go between two of my other tracks. A good pair of headphones/earbuds are highly suggested for this one.

Description : Depression and sadness can sometimes serve as motivation for creativity as in the case of this track. A few months back I went through a period of loosing a few friends and co-workers. Attended a few funerals and as a result found myself reflecting on life. One night I had the urge to try to transfer my feelings into music and this is what came out. Some baratone guitar accompanied by synth and accapella.
Final EDIT: Further tweaking on levels and a slight change up in the timimg of the choir section.

The drums I spliced together from some drum loops I had, there's one other loop in the mix, the rest of the instruments are played by me (bass and synths).
