Lately I've been more interested in sampling things and creating music based around stacking them - I did it first with this dance track, 小鬼, and have followed it up with a more epic piece, axis (bold as knights)
feedback welcome for the experiments.

i like the intro to (char *A, char *B) but then i am getting bored because by 3min it's getting interesting again and i am a busy man and i wanted this at 2min. other than that pacing gripe, nice acid, good job marlowe. the arp part drifting out needs a bit more of an acid edge, layer some more 303 over it beeewauWaWawuWaaau. overall, lovely track
axis ~ nice breathing motion, psychedelic rockshrooms. a pair of curtains drifting past each other. but then it is really kind of wander-y. have you forgotten?

I liked Axis. I second EpicMegatrax and belb's comments;
Also reminded of Ninja Tune, but also a specific release I can't remember the name of (vinyl is in the loft) with a Japanese guy with a Hawaiian shirt on the cover.
I like the drones in it. Nice to hear 'real instrument' sounding drones rather than just a wailing VCO for once.
Only criticism, also agree with the pacing; towards the end of the first third, it felt it was taking too long to introduce the next element.

Thanks for the feeback guys, I've always struggled with pacing I'm the first to admit that - I usually get lost in a loop and then come up with new ideas and forget to go back and edit things tighter - I should remember the famous movie making adage, "few movies would lose anything by having thirty minutes taken out" (or something)
