I enjoyed this, giving it a fourth listen at the moment. Your approach seems to have changed over the past few tracks. Have you been more focused?

glad you enjoyed it, but i'm not really sure what you mean. some tracks turn out better than others (and if i'm feeling it, i'll put in some extra hours). i rotate bits of gear in out out regularly, but i've not experienced any internal revolutions lately....

Your tracks usually have a sort of punky flippancy to 'em that makes them lose coherence, while this one sounds a bit more together or something. Gave the last few recent ones a go and they seem to be more to my taste too.
Last spam thread I saw, I was going to post "shut the fuck up"- now I'm very happy I didn't because I don't have to publicly retract my statement.
Keep up the good work, I've been a loyal fan of yours from the very start and have both a macro felt valance of Macaulay Culkin covering my window and a full body male thrush infection in your honour

i think i get it now. 90% of what i've posted recently i'm just recording a stereo mixdown; when i shut off the gear a lot of the track goes away. i spend a few hours building it up and then try to get it on disk before i run out of steam. it's enervating acting as a human sequencer, even if it's a lot more fun for the first half of the effort. this one i actually left the gear on overnight, got up at 5am and started on it again, even though i got a decent take last night. i think that's what you're hearing -- just put a bit more practice into getting the mix the way i wanted. i'd do this more often, but usually i have work to worry about in the morning....

Unhealthy long-haul sessions usually lend to better writing, mixing and levelling for me too. Though I'm trying to improve at more frequent, shorter sessions to accommodate having to be an awakeman and a functionalman on a normal person's schedule.
Really digging Hermit Thrush, any way I could get a hold of that one?

i was honestly thinking it was going to be a waste, until i got the take i wound up sticking with (and i credit that to taking a 30min smoke break). at a certain point, your mind turns to jelly, and you have trouble being objective; trouble putting feeling into it like you did the previous 14 times. but i already had a take i could live with, and i figured i'd just try anyways. and i wound up with a better one.
turned on downloads on hermit thrush for ya.

Yeah objectivity goes out the window after stretches, but I find there's a space in between getting rolling and burning out that I can capture the sounds and ideas almost synchronously as they're coming on. The live-human sequencing thing is a lot like live performing for me; turbo stress levels, ineffable highs when it's going well, really draining, with a constant awareness that you're probably going to do something perfectly that you won't get recorded and will ruin it if you try to. Fucking hella fun. I can't do it too often though because I'll just keep buying hardware that I can't afford yet.
Thanks a bunch for that track. I look forward to putting a track or two up on here to be ignored

from the raymond scott wiki page:
"During the developmental process, his players were allowed to improvise, but once complete, the piece became relatively fixed, with little further improvisation permitted — a practice that alienated some jazz purists and critics."
some of it was quasi-random and i'd not quite catch it synced the way i wanted; other times i'd simply screw up a little more than i was ok with. i do enjoy soaking in a warm bath of noises, though, and i enjoy programming up all the noises even more. the last 1/3 felt a bit of a quagmire, though, i didn't know if i'd make it out alive.
if you can't get lots of hardware, you can always use USB controllers on VSTs.

Beautiful cage sounds cool, especially 2nd half. Someone else made music from some cage before (matmos?) Seems everyone does because cages are so ubiquitous among humans. For example soundcloud has all its users in a cage. Most don't even recognize it, and if they do they love it due to stockholm syndrome.
