Cool sounds. I don't like that metallic perc sound in the intro, i think you could replace it with something a little more solid sounding if that makes sense, maybe a wood percussion sound.

Great Track!

Written, I like that. Never thought of it that way before and truth be told, it's a perfect label for it.
Maybe, I'm confussing Glitch with Off-beat, but this isn't making me think glitch. It's crazy, yes, but it's too mechanically organized to be Glitch, I think.
That said, I love the order you've given this. It's almost like peering inside of a really big machine and watching all of the mechanisms running. Gears spinning, lights blinking, and all that.
Ok, I stand somewhat corrected, the bass sounding beats (?) are uber Glitch. As if some part of the machine is on the verge of breaking down.
Aww man, I had a really great idea. Shoot this in to the Terminator:Chronicles of Sarah Connor show. I'm thinkin they'd love it, because I could totally see this being played for something like that. Later on mate!

That's interesting there. I liked your werds DV. Amazingly this track has somehow gotten recognition for it's originality and complexity. It was quite an experiment all the way through, but it turned out to be something quite listenable I believe. thanks for the review Donny.

You say this inspires me to do a limited 7" split single. You're not the 1st person to ask me if I have any viny; releases...

I think Boson is right, we ought to have a vinyl press to share amongst looper producers.

ah man, im lovin this little number. when that panning kicked in my head started bobbin proper. the bass is scratched out real nice, im gettin more sound than feel from the bass. drop that filter a bit or add some kick on the low freqs. but i like bass to kick me in the chest so thats just preference. that piano two hitter you have rollin thru it, dun dun, maybe a little more variance in there?? im not a pro with dub/glitch so its whatever.
just tryin to give u some detailed feedback in return man.

peace bro,
keep it up

hey mate,
yehh sounding good!
another idea maybe add a hard snare in there after say the 8th beat, just to give it some more rhythm. the light snares work nice, but maybe just one hards snare every now an then!

nice mix though man, very dubish ;)
PEACE!

Nice use of tribal percs...very spaced out...filled nicely with the piano loop and skating snares on panning overload...not too sure about the distorted introduction of bass though...I think I'd like the cutoff to be raised a little bit on the bass...sounds a bit too filtered out...but hey, nice use of Caribbean dub there...anyway, quite a few nice elements in there, good work.

Ok I can tell somewhat i guess. It's a process of writing synth lines, resampling them in Ableton, warping and effecting slices. All macro controlled through arp settings, loop length/comprssion and filter sweeps. :D
