Re: [LAU] Declination: Music made with Linux

I was fiddling about with various bits of Linux audio software and 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: http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/declination.ogg 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. 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.
