on yinyang by Zootman

beautiful use of cyclic atmospheres, cloud-forest vortices, clockwork metal birds glide a future after the anthropocecene. gorgeous changes and that syn lead is blissy, mate!

Thanks man. Considered calling this The Beast with two
Backs lol but a bit crass maybe so will keep that one up my sleeve.

fantastically crafty work indeed, mr hus! crazy deep-listening mix, intricate shifts in the geologic strata. this is just vanguard stuff, man.

on Not whistling dixie by pseudoble

gothic for meth-heads cavepainting with laserguns. gorgeous layered reverberance.

pseudoble replied 29th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Hey Michael
I think I must be close to needing to not use my modular synths for a bit - I'm having too much fun changing everything I play into something else - but I feel it's getting a bit the same (even when Im happy with the sound)

Thanks for the warm and funny affirmation and for listening

manic, warped stuff. energetic composition, man!

on The Ether by OMaille

oneiric, stoned. uncomfortably mellow. really cool!

on Medieval Youtube Theme by Killick

high-concept, haha! way cool, this is gone thru the looking-glass strangeness of the finest kind. like medieval meta.

Killick replied 3rd Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks man! In this case, it was commission for a very specific purpose. So it's not quite as meta as it seems.

on Kisame Flows in the water by EmmaniFreeze

hey there, man. this is really fine music, rewards close listening. it’s secretive, elusive, attractive. standout track!

xstokes

I hid some instruments that cant is heard on the first listen. I'm glad you noticed the theme that was represented!

PhillyBe replied 3rd Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Thank you so much. I love the trombone. Played it for years. It was the first one I was taught. Maybe I will be better one day. Thank you so much!

on Apex Extended by crucethus

busy but in a very engaging way, it’s practical but untrustworthy. makes for a good listen!

crucethus replied 5th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

''practical but untrustworthy'' Might be the best synopsis I have ever recieved.

on dabadadoomdadi by terryjmhitsong

i picture a guy dancing along the edge of people waiting for a train, jabbing them onto the tracks with his umbrella. nice!

terryjmhitsong replied 12th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

on N-One by harefield

consistently brilliant work, mate. your music and persona are acid.

xstokes 2nd Apr 2022 23:42 - 4 years ago

on Moonglow by HeathAlexander

hello heath. it’s a pleasure to listen to — lucid dreaming, shifting points of view. music for astral journeymen.

HeathAlexander replied 5th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Thank you. I really appreciate your imagery.

on Future by LVSNCE

i like the phat sound and the music has solid changes. it seems like maybe the drums got laid first and could use some hint of warmth maybe? i could be way off base man, but i enjoyed the track!
