on The next big thing by WatayaandBobo
very well-distempered music, sinuous under the sneer. naked beautiful outro!! the stone heads-in-a-swamp sound is right on.

on Method Of Madness - Again by Pnnywze
calculating stuff, indeed. i wanted a blowout to occur but you keep it under wraps and i respect that. i dig the detail and control at work in this here autobiowav.

Hey man, thanks for taking the time to check out my work. I think alot of us here take that time to lift each other up, and it's great to see. Not everyone hears the details/small things, I'm always hyped when someone does. Thanks for the kind words, my friend.

on Ready by Mandthone
had to investigate this wavform. i don’t know the mythology but it’s really cool sounds, very together stuff. drumming at 2.46 or so nails it!

on Justin Johnson by Shaman77
prowling and sustained experimental sounds. you have a very good guitar to play with here, i like it when a discernible blues lick flickers through.
Shaman77
Shaman77 replied 20th Jan 2024 - 1 year ago
Thank you, this guitar from YouTube, it also fascinated me)

Thank you, my friend. Sometimes it seems to me that I live in a madhouse, there are a lot of crazy people around, maybe they are hypnotized through the TV?)

on Bid Me Go - Feat Salve Clements by EricMilligan
hey Eric, what a collab! it’s a good balance between epic and intimate, the instrumentation and production are top notch. the first synthpop section is my fav — has kinda a kate bush thing that morphs into a titanic starship thing. massive track, your efforts show.
EricMilligan
EricMilligan replied 17th Jan 2024 - 1 year ago
Hi, Xstokes! Thank you for the kind words on this track. You get the prize for recognizing the inspiration for that first section of the track. It was definitely Kate Bush. Actually “Cloudbusting”. I found a patch in one of my VSTs that really reminded me of that track, and just started from that to build the instrumental backing. And, to my credit, this was well before the world rediscovered Kate Bush because “Stranger Things” had used one of her tracks. She has always been one of my favourite artists, and remains so.

Regards from very cold Ottawa,

Eric

on Never Mind by pseudoble
from the get the strings enveloped me in a wave of deja vu. it’s a magical piece, a fiercely expressionist portrait of someone we’ve all passed by beneath a streetlamp on a bridge somewhere.
pseudoble
pseudoble replied 15th Jan 2024 - 1 year ago
Hey Mike - thanks mate - it's a somewhat forlorn mood, an atmosphere imbued by a sense of loss and days gone by, that I was connecting with in this one. Started with striking some harmonics on the open tuned taylor and built up from there with multi-tracking and various treatments (as is my habit)

on Down to Earth by 3rdNippleMusic
neal! it’s good to lay ears on you again man. this is like being haunted by dead cats (i remember kill). mournful and tangled, lovely music.

on ANTARCTICA - Second Nature by secondnature1
really cool, the drone elements add a bit of edge, the percussive parts are colorful. spare but very filmic
secondnature1
secondnature1 replied 12th Jan 2024 - 1 year ago
Thank you xstokes! I was going for a cinematic vibe as you described minimal, droning, & sparce.

on Track616 by SaintLoreyn
love the crazy spectral vibes. the shiver in my spine, really. sounds of a distant dream. playing is absolutely right on, the spare bass id really effective in suspending the beautiful shapes of the keys, while the vox grate thru my forehead into my brains.

on humanoid moccasins truth by WatayaandBobo
excellent riff on dnb. the organ and bass have a terry riley ecstatic thing happening the guitar and drums fairly whirl around. great, summoning sounds.

WatayaandBobo replied 5th Jan 2024 - 1 year ago
I think thats a fairly excellent and accurate summary. Though summoning angels, not demons hopefully. Thanks a lot.
