Hello Kim! This is a trakc of impressions. I'm not sure, that I would bank it down as "music" in my book, but then, that book is pretty thin, I suppose. I wanted to say, that it reminded me of srping, with all the crows, for that's what they are, I suppose. But the whole atmosphere sounds much more like autumn coming on to the dark times. The sound in the centre was interesting, the rather more continuous one, which sounds a bit like... hm: footsteps, chemical/phiscal fun with bottles, fire, gas and/or steam. In it's foreinness, yet (sur)reality it sets my "imagery" department sparking wildly. As I said: full of impressions. the occasional very white-noise containing "spark" in the centre is very nice effect. Almost frightening, when I heard it for the first time. Partly because of its loudness, partly because of its distrubing quality. Reminiscent of one of those weird, inexplicable impulses you got on good old analogue radio, or of sparks again. At least something very shocking and almost not belonging there. This was - for me - even intensified by the heavily processed voices or maybe arabic singing in the background, off to the sides of the panorama. The complete piece certainly impressed me as being quite cineastic, graspable and creative, in the way, that it creates its own little world, with not too many perceived sounds. It doesn't get out of hand. Neat! Thanks for sharing this composition with us! Or at least with me. :-) - Sorry, if I'm very off your own ideas, but as I've learnt: It doesn't really matter, as long as it's perceived as a welcome guest in your aural home. :-) Warm regards Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de

Heh not to many people around here into sound art much huh? I liked it, it obviously isn't my everyday listening, but it is nice to sit and experience on occasion. I particularly liked the implied contrast of the birds and bells in the track. The slightly irregular statics gives a nice contrast to the entire piece that draws your attention nicely. Seablade Who took sound art classes in college specifically to broaden his interest outside of his comfort zone:) Great teacher for it as well, took me back.
