I admit that I don't pass comments on here as much as I should, but after hearing this piece, I can only stand back in admiration of a master of emotion at work. You bring a serenity to this piece that I could only dream of making. A brave personal statement such as this should be lauded and applauded, as I am pleased see it indeed has.
Now I am going to have to work even harder…thanks:-)

cyber...i just finished listening to "an emotion" and i want to say to you that it is a beautiful piece...not structured just free flowing...not thinking a song but being a song...that is the core of you and the outlet was your music...that is essence of music...sometimes a song can define what you feel inside..i closed my eyes and let this piece wash over me...masterful...congratulations...lastly you don't practice and learn and evolve because you want to be an artist...you do it because you are an artist already.....peace
Wow! I am still amazed at how muzic can "exhibit" emotions, this piece is FULL of them. I feel the pain and sadness, so I'd say you've accomplished that end of it. Also perhaps some liberation.
While listening I felt I was being gently tugged from here to there. Nothing threatening, just a free flow of movement, going in different directions with no destination in mind. Meditation, yes.
Not tense, but emotional. There is definitely a stirring up here. I now pronounce you "An Artist"! Great job Cyber!!!! Oh, and thanks for the DL :-)
I remember mainly the intensity of this music.
You have made (like a painting, as cited) pastel colors and misty. No doubt, your current mood, but perfectly expressed.
The music to this gift, which allows us to this state of affairs, and we avoid talking to be understood ....
soothing,claiming and a peaceful/beautiful view im looking at thanks i need this after what happened to my file :/. Thanks for cheering me up with your music =D respect. Have a good day my friend. AD out
the spontaneity / self-portrait aspect of this track is transparent - but knowing that does enrich this listener's experience - echo all, it's a deep track made that much deeper by your state of mind and the approach taken.
there is a quantum 'thing' happening - i could not hear this without mapping it to the description - people will argue the value of this - i love the added perspective of a narrative guide, i never feel completely bound by it, but it mediates the objective/subjective artifact.
what i mean is this provides that abstract yet fiercely visceral connection that only great art makes.
Very nice, soothing. Good title, I think we all can feel some kind of emotion listening to this. Good meditation type music. This just lowered my blood pressure a couple hundred points, lol.
This is quite awesome, Cyberson. I practice Buddhism and do a lot of meditation, and the first thing that came to mind while listening to "An Emotion" is that it would be perfect meditation music. It kind of reminds me of being on a seashore when the waters are calm and the ebb-and-flow is ever so gentle. Well done, you!
Thankyou Leahcim for listening and your kind review. The fact that you and others can find something from this piece moves me in a good way. Many thanks.
Well this is pretty much the exact polar opposite of the last track you posted. That was really angry. This one says i'm all good, i'm chilled and nothing's going to upset me (even finding out that Eddie Sh**s the supporting act for the concert you just bought tickets for)
Tranquility i would say sums this up in one word.
I feel like going to the beach now (not Brighton though. It's filthy and covered in stones)
FR
Yes, you are right FR. Definite opposite to the last track, but just as emotional though for me. I am moved by your insight to this track. Many thanks for listening and taking the time to review. Paul
original sound, lots going on in here, and the beat comes on strong..listening thru headphones this is quite a swirling trip, dig it highly....oh that second stacatto synth sound is awesome, bravo cyberson...dbl
Many thanks my friend, I'm very honoured by your review. I like the swirling trip comment, that's an element I was kinda hoping for. Once again, many thanks.
Finally found one of your tracks I hadn't heard! This one is amazing! Have you heard any Cevin Key before, because this kind of reminds me of him. Great beats! Awesome soundscape! This is really well mixed and performed! I like the idea of ghosts overtaking your mind, and I definitely believe it's possible. Great song man!
Thank you Sir for stopping by again. I'm most honoured by your kind words. Well I only know of Cevin Key through his work with Skinny Puppy, I didn't realise how much he's actually been involved with, so thanks for that. I thank you for the comaprison (blushes slightly). I'm glad you feel something in this my friend. Once again, many thanks.
someday I will be able to speak to the technical aspects of a work like this that make it phenomenal. for now I speak about musicality, about form, about sound.
the beginning of this puppy takes me into outer space and it is a perfect candidate for pairing with some space art (a conversation for another day). the sounds are rich - good sound choices create rich overtones - that's what seems to be working here. the drum groove is a stunning entrance! then the elimination of the drone and the drum becomes principal groove works great. then new sounds of piano and strings was beautiful (and brief elimination of drum groove to emphasize strings was perfect - what I was getting at in comment to "VIRUS". okay - criticism - sorry I'm not savvy enough - could just suggest working towards definite endings sometimes instead of fadeouts. requires a certain kind of commitment but can make a powerful final statement that the fadeout can't. peace from left side
okay here goes. the novice speaks. awesome sounds in a sophisticated mix. the panning is very cool. intro of new elements over grooves over time kept me hooked. transitions between grooves seamless. the very end grabbed me with its retro back to an earlier section. okay - gotta think of a criticism - i always think in these semi-trance comps one could stick in little "breaks" - completely out of the groove - that shock. there was one moment when a groove went on for a few seconds too much w/out some variance and I tuned out. but otherwise fully hooked! left pond out
This is a pretty angry piece of music mate. It kind of growls and snarls at you like a rabbid rotweiler.
Distorted basses to tear your speakers apart!
I would have liked to have heard a bit more round the drum/percussion area but that's just my taste. I guess the idea was to reflect your bad experience and it comes through in this grinding track.

Just trawling the Loop this evening letting instinct guide me to different artists & genres and man I find tracks like this. This is thought provoking and different. Not easy on the ears but worth the effort of listening. Very good Cyber my friend, this made me think and evaluate music on a different level.
As an aside I'm re-reading Stephen Kings Christine at the moment and this track definately reminded me of a ghost with-in a machine. Respect mate, I enjoyed this track.
Thanks VSS for taking the time to listen to this piece and review. As with theHumps and FreeRadical, I'm honoured with your input, especially given that you've been kind enough to express what impact the track has had on you.
Many thanks indeed my friend, your input has been greatly apprecited and digested.
Hi my friend. Many thanks for checking this track out, I'm very honoured. Don't know if you'd be interested in some of my more industrial work? Many thanks again.
I like the thought behind the track. Very trippy and creatively put together. I agree with FR that the vocal should come out more but overall this is an interesting track and very cool to listen to.
Thankyou my friend for the listen and review. I'm glad that you found it creative, because that is where I'm trying to go with my music. I hear what you're saying about the vocals, but they're not the big part for me lol Anyways, thanks very much.
This is twisted mate. I particularly like it from about the half way point where the beat comes in harder.
I can see where your coming from with the ghost thing. It has a feel of something trying to break through from another dimension.
Bring the vocal forward a bit though, I only caught some of what it said (but that might just be because i'm old and deaf)
Anyway, I dig the "differentness" (if there's such a word) of this track.
FR
Hi FR. Thanks for checking this out my good friend. You know, this is twisted and I'm glad that you found the element I was looking for.
In terms of the vocals, I really don't like my vocal ability and the meens of recording them. I would love someone to say to me "Great lyrics guy! But can I sing for you?"
Anyways, thank you so much for your time and kind review.
Thought i'd stop by and check out some of your material as you've been giving my comedy ego a boost.
i'm liking this. The intro kind of reminded me of the Quake soundtrack (i don't know if you remember that game, i think it was trent reznor that did the soundtrack)
I like the way you introduce new parts and change the song structure as it goes along. Always morphing, progressing and building as the track progresses.
stellar stuff.
A very creative song with excellent soundscapes! Those beats are nice! Definitely a lot of cinematic value in this one! The part that the piano leads in to is very mind expanding! Nice one!
