Will do, as soon as I get my hands on a copy of the magazine. Wasn't in
last week so hopefully more joy this week.

Hi Leigh, <namedropping mode>In A Safe Place and Into The Blue Again are
my faves. Basically anything Jimmy LaValle has done is worth checking if
you're into that kind of music. I adore Tristeza too, one of the best
postrock bands ever</namedropping mode>.
OMG!!! This is simply stunningly beautiful
music!!! What a great track
Leigh, Album Leaf eat your heart out ;) The intro is a bit deceptive but
once the Rhodes kicks in I'm hooked. And those eerie voices, they blend
perfectly with the glitchy drums, Blofeld sounds and the constant
Monosynth bleeps. Gee, huge props for this piece of work! I have one big
negative remark though: it's too short!
Wow, thanks Jeremy for the very kind words! I know what you mean about
the length -- I didn't want it to get repetitive, but in hindsight I
think I could have spread it out a bit more. I hadn't heard of Album
Leaf before, either, so I'll be sure to check out his work soon.
The name of
the track, is it related to the island of Texel
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel)?
Yep, in a round-about way: I named it after Texel Facula, a bright
surface feature on Saturn's moon, Titan, which is named after the island
of Texel.
Can't wait to get my hands on Cumulus,
anxiously awaiting Computer Music
#171, I see it just got out so I'll run off to the store after work to
check if it has hit the shelves already.
It's a lot of fun! Let me know if you want a copy of the drum loop and
patch from my track -- I'm pretty sure I can export them somehow for
upload.
Thanks
Leigh
Best,
Jeremy
