"haha nice"

man....this is a nice, very odd piece. 15 minutes of work, shows that time spent in music =/= quality of music. A musician can spend hours trying to force out dry, uninspired melodies, but give an experimental mind that right tools you can come out with an innovative piece in a matter of minutes.

very interesting atmosphere, this piece is truly ambient in nature. The textures are great and pioneering, I'm picturing loads of visuals with this one. The year is 3015, robots have risen and destroyed all humans, and quietly inhabitat what is left of planet Earth. or some other clitch story. The long filtered, hollow tones create a very eerie vibe throughout the track, while the other ambient FX give a sense of machines doing routine jobs. Very scary, and empty (and I mean that in the best way possible). The long note, in light with the retriggered snare sample, is very reminiscent of aiport ambience with the snare being a dysfunctional propellerblade.

some (nitpicky) notes:

around the 2:50-2:55ish the mid register of the main drone tone got a bit too high, and was a bit irritating on my end.

personally why I gave this an 8 was because I would have liked more direction. Out of the abstract drones I would personally like to hear more of a rhytmic development, IDM style to go with the themes. Though if totally disrupts the intentions of this piece, that's quite understandable.

with that in mind, the fadeout was fine, but in regards to the lack of structure in the piece perhaps a more abrupt ending where the drones echo out and perhaps timestretch the percussive sounds would be more suitable.

keep it up, and this is very NG worthy :) I mean not that that means much LOL, but good work here man.

also, is 512 sync necessary, i've heard the differences between that interpolation rate and 64 is negligible.

aha, le sound art/electroacoustics/ sonic/ whatever you want to call it. I felt like I owed you for your kind words so I went and listened to all your stuff. I chose to hit up this one with a review though because I'm an art major and this kind of work tickles me more than the over saturated over produced typical dance tracks we've all grown to love and create. This kind of work is more honest to me. It's experimental. It hits a vibe that you really can't scratch with a melody.

I really like whats going on here, but I agree with rig. I'd like to hear some more out of the sound spectrum. OVerall it has a bit too much of that hi fuzz. It's good for a bit but like rig and I are saying, a bit more variety with those sounds. While the entire track was generally a bit of an experiment, perhaps you should consider going back and adding things intentionaly. A sub bass might be a nice little addition. I notice some infrasonic sounds, but some more would be pleasant.

Overall, great! Keep playing around. Keep sonic art alive!

aah, I don't know from what frequencies but I'm wearing headphones so, maybe that's the problem. Though I think you've put some neat effects in it... But I'll not listen to this personally, because it just doesn't tell a story...

Though it's great for some submissions, or background (atmosphere) in some kind of science fiction movie...

5/5, 9/10

"Electroacoustasticness!"

This sounds really good! It matches and even surpasses the quality of some electroacoustic pieces I've heard. Very interesting and rhythmic overall, with enough movement throughout to keep things interesting.

You should get rid of that limiter - I can hear it keeping things down. And I'd love to hear even more play in the stereo spectrum. But overall, it's a great electroacoustic piece. Keep it up!
