Hi maestro Michael,

the fantastic intro was like from Blade Runner! Tony Williams and Jaco dropping by ... If you had told me about it before I would have said no way this won't work. But it does! A wonderfully entertaining journey.

Peace,

Micky

Wow as out there as this is, you can hear the underlying threads that keep this together. But just a wow my friend. 5:48 that sustained note fading was my fav part as it leads into something unique and well dynamically mastered. A Masterpiece of psychedelic sounds. 7:17 made me feel like I just woke up in an Onsen.And that chiptune ending was just taking the piss on all our minds ehh! brilliant!

thank you, Steven! it begs a lot of indulgence, and i’m really grateful for the listen. i wanted to experiment with longer sound sources and spent a lot of very pleasurable time ‘curating’ these sounds. my spirit guides on this were that bastard out of scotland who i’m mad at for being a genius and john oswald’s mix of the dead playing darkstar (talk about indulgence).
cheers, man!

I like the title, just watched the Revenant movie with DeCaprio the other day. Crazy movie with all sorts of low and high points in it, some dreamlike scenes, some flashback scenes, some emotional and some shockingly honest.

I could possibly use that same description on this track. Some introspective parts and some mind tripping parts as well.

Cool!

thank ye, Wayne! i read the book, highly recommended— i ain’t caught the whole flick yet, but i know there are some crucial differences that make for thought-provoking contrasts. hadn’t been thinking on that when the title came upon me, but yep, i’m adopting that. many thanks!

damn i really dig where you're coming from with your music, seems to be from outer space cos there's not much I can think of as a reference point. love the random, freeform and experimental nature of this. also good to see i'm not the only one who's like a kid in a candy shop with mucking around with reversed guitars. keep going my friend, only explorers really get lost.

xstokes replied 2nd Aug 2021 - 4 years ago
ha, there’s somethin about reverses, it’s like breathing. outer space certainly factors in, too. and the flouride in the water [cue General Ripper]. cheers, Chris!

listened to this earlier this afternoon and then had to work so just getting back to have a listen of the features- what a trip - lots of interesting sounds and some really nice musical parts, cool instrument choice and great drums - experimental yes - but we like a few surprises : )

Great!! And how subtile you put those sounds together!!
That dark..Bass guitar??it sounds if you have a whole rock or jazz band there in your living room.
So what you do in your secret free time michael?
Working on your secret tracks to come out with that like hell in a good way.
Long track but not boring!!
Well done bro!!!!

Quite abstract and cool man. Parts in it are kind of jazzy to me. But it still is amazing. Someone has to have a deep perspective on music like you to pull this one off. Awesome job!

Me siento flotando con este sonido tan psicodélico, es un rock muy experimental, con fuerza, con guitarras atrevidas, arropadas en todo momento por una potente batería. Me encanta como la guitarra solista acaba adueñándose de la pista. Buen tema amigo xtokes, un lujo para mis oídos. Que tengas un gran día. Paz y salud para todos.

I like the amp noise, as a musician it is a sound of expectation of the sound that will soon follow. The Edge would appreciate your use of effects to create space, an atmosphere, a setting, a place to escape to.

"Cat"atonic vibe! he, sorry.

hey Wayne, those kind words really hit home. this is about as ‘live’ a recording as i can make, so keeping it real, noises on (noses), warts and all seemed right. i fall for a pun anytime. thanks, dude!

This is so "ZEN" and helps one to chill all the way out. A very natural & meditative track here in it's purist form, so sweet! to listen to as the sun here is rising so early in the morning, this is going down so well with my herbal tea. I'm so relaxed but not for long, I gotta run soon but thank, you for this moment of peace & tranquility, it was so Lovely listening to this track. Keep up the good! Work.

hey, I’m Not Listening! don’t just tease like that. i really appreciate your using the zen word. i am not a performer, so playing with a loopstation requires a very calm spirit for me. sometimes zen means your defects can work in your favor! i am blessed by your listen, ms. A. happy b-day to your son!
