I was fiddling about with various bits of Linux audio

came up with several hours of recordings into Ardour. If I don't go
quite as crazy with remixes as, say, Moby, then there is probably
about 17 months of music in there. I've picked out one that I feel
stands up on its own without further processing, and uploaded it to
my server:

I downloaded and listened -- to almost all of it.
If you have time to download it (it's about 26 minutes long, 21Mbytes)
and listen, I'd appreciate some feedback. I tried using a homebrew
fuzzbox and a guitar amp, but that just made the neighbours bang on
the wall (and they live half a mile further up the farm track).
I consider this track to be in the Techno Reconstructed Yurt genre,
with influences from Vangelis, Pierre Schaeffer and James Bilsland
(the latter using a huge industrial pump to deliver heating oil to the
1300-litre tank at my house). If that is the kind of sound you are
into or you wish to make people think you don't listen to "normal"
music, then I think you will enjoy the track. If you don't or it's a
bit too "experimental" for you then clearly you are an imbecile and
you wouldn't know genuine avant-garde talent if it bit you on the
backside.
Well, I fall into the latter category, I guess. Nevertheless, I'd be
interested to know *how* you made it. In particular, how did you get
those levels so "hot"? What kind of effects, synths, mastering (if any)
etc.
Enjoy, and I look forward to your feedback. I hope
you get as much
of a kick out of hearing it as I got off the anode caps of the power
amp valves in my HF radio transmitter.
I did enjoy, thanks for posting.
