This composition is progressing well. It still isn't complete (no drum
track) but all the instruments are more or less sorted now. Melody and
chord sequences cleaned up and volumes balanced pretty much. I think I
can ease off on the 3am stuff now!
The instruments in the Waken section follow better, especially parts 3
and 5. The main instrument for the Avenger is fuller sounding and the
incidentals sound clearer. The tailoff has a more appropriate
instrument altogether.
This fun :)
I've just uploaded the latest version.

Hi,
I don't know if this is by design but I'm unable to download the
OGG file due to the way the link is constructed it appears. It also
seems that on my AMD64 Gentoo machine that mplayer doesn't like
something in the file as I get about 1/4 second of sound and then it
just stops. Firefox was hung and there were mplayer processes that had
to be killed.
This set of problems is consistent for all the links on the page I
tried. The download problem also occurred on my Mac Mini running OSX
10.4.6.
Cheers,
Mark

I certainly don't want to stop *anybody* getting the files. I don't
understand what is going wrong. I have just rechecked it myself and it
seems to be working perfectly for me. (I'm on dialup but the 1st 2MB
seems sound fine) but then I am obviously working from the same ISP so I
don't know if there is some server-side problem that is corrupting
links/data.
I am using Firefox 1.5 on Mandrake 10.1. The files were coverted to ogg
from wav by Audacity.

OK, I'm sure it's a problem here but I haven't had much trouble with
other links, and since it also happens on the Mac, maybe there's
something a bit non-standard about how it's all put together.
Clearly part of the problem could be trying to play something on an
AMD64 machine. I'll check later on my wife's 32-bit Gentoo machine.
When I copy the link itself and paste it in a terminal I see:
http://www.folderol.ukfsn.org/clickcount.pl?Awakening_The_Avenger.ogg
On the Mac when I tell it to save the file the link only goes as far
as the '?' and quits so I think that must be part of it. I suspect I'm
having similar problems on the AMD64 machine. Possibly some sort of a
UTF8 problem in Gnome?
Using wget and the full link including the '?' and the file name works
and I'm able to download it that way.
OK, having listened to it it sounds like an interesting start. Clearly
it's still very early. The chord patterns are interesting. I look
forward to hearing where you take it.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark. I've just downloaded it with Konqueror using Kget, and it's played
back just fine with Mhwaveedit. I'm also listening to Mozart symphonies that
someone else posted, and very nice too, but they are too big for Mhwaveedit.
I'm having to use Xmms on FC2. Nigel.

Not much help, but just so you know: links work fine here. I'm using
firefox and playing with mplayer.
The files are fine and so is the server - I think your machine is
having a bit of a breakdown.

It's using roll your own Gentoo which is the problem. Only joking Mark. Nigel.

I like it! I can't wait to hear it with drums.
It will be interesting to hear what you put with it. I can hear a
couple of possibilities that sound obvious to me and I'm curious to
see if what you come up with is anything like one of them.
This fun :)
