"The View of The Crowds from the Thirty-Ninth" :.


A blurry ocean of shifty colored cotton.

The faded, collective grumble of in and out chatter.

A temple pressed against cold glass,

she thought of me from up here.

I thought of her from somewhere.

A loose shirt, high socks...

She watched colored balloons make their escape from children;

from their stickied hands...


(and we thought of each other.)


Inspired heavily by Motoro Faam. (Go listen to them now).

The grand piano always conplements rain sample really well, but all the other random sounds in the background somehow also goes really well with the sad atmosphere, I don't know how to feel when listening, but I like it very much.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Yeah, this was a study in using found sounds as textures and rhythms and stuff. Feels very nostalgic for me whenever I listen to it now. Still like the way this turned it even after all these years. Inspired heavily by two of my most favorite albums by the Japanese trio, Motoro Faam. Highly recommend you check out their second release, "...And Water Cycles". Some of the most beautiful stuff I've ever heard. Very impressive arrangements andsequencing.

I have a follow up track/remix/sequel/???:

Made many years after and on my latest album release.

For good reason,
this was the first song I five star'd on the day I made my account.
Still up there with one of my all time favs. Still makes me feel like, a weird nostalgia. A song that always felt like it was from my past even on my first listen. <3

You know...

I can see why this would be such a hard piece of music to put into a specific genre. There are so many mixed feelings in this song that bring up great vivid images in my head and tears to my eyes. Well, on to actually reviewed this piece of music. I love the various forms of glitch beats you used along with the piano. Your music-and this piece is absolutely no exception-has great variety that allows a listener to listen to your pieces over and over again without thinking the song they are listening to is repetitive. You, sir, have completely outdone yourself on this song.

5/5

10/10

Wow, awesome review for me to read. I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you. Most of my music is pretty eclectic - it takes from many influences and ideas. I'm glad it can be such a powerful piece of music for you. That really makes me feel like i've done what i've set out to do - make someone feel something or think something - take them somewhere. I like to add variety. That is really the main reason that glitch music is such an appealing genre. I love to sit and decipher different rhythms and melodies and so i add that to my own music - its all in the little things that'll make you listen over and over. Again, thank you for the wonderful review. Take care for now - keep listening : D

just awesome

wow that is just awesome man
i really just love this kind of music...where there are 1000s of emotions and images in you head...ty for this track...really like most of your tracks...but this one is special for me . just epic
great job!

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Thanks a lot, man! I'm glad you listened to this one. This is one of my favorite tracks I've done. Its a special track even for myself - and its kinda old. Gotta channel thoughts into something, heh heh. I'm really glad you like it!

Unique!

Yes! I love this!

Such as relief from all the similar fast-beat techno stuff here. This actually has a really unique sound.

Keep it up!

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Good! I'm always trying for a unique sound. This is one of my favorites.

Thank you for your ears!
