Hi Ken
Wow, that's high praise indeed coming from you. Thanks for listening and
I'm glad you were awed :-)
I see your point about engineer disease, but I think Julien has really
hit the nail on the head in his response to you. The part this snippet
follows is already recorded and mixed, the next section is about
threequarters written and part four maybe about fifty percent written.
Everything after that is just a bunch of ideas and snippets at the moment.
It's going to be some time before I get the next couple of parts
recorded and mixed, which yes, will take ages getting all the details
perfect, but I am working (very slowly) towards a goal. Then there are
other projects I need to make progress with, that have been on the back
burner for a couple of years, oh dear!
I suppose I use a bit of a "release early, release often" ethos, it's
just my idea of "often" is a bit skewed ;-)
Thanks again for listening and commenting.

Hello Quirq!
Well if you go on writing like this, just waisting lines of
diminishment, I might just plonk you. :-)
It's a lovely piece.I love the intensity of it, there's drama in there
(four stage theatrics perhaps :-) ). I love the dense composition of the
"sound cloud", complemented by the tinkly windchimes, harp and synth FX,
it makes a gorgeous whole.
Keep them coming the "insubstantial bits" and parts of ideas. I'm
waiting for them all to final fit into the bigger pictures. :-)
Indeed, Q's stuff is awesome... and then it ends unexpectedly, leaving you hanging.
I think it's the engineer disease: make something completely perfect in every detail,
then put it aside before finishing it, because that's not the fun part.
