mickey: Lidell, you say..? I've only heard a few tracks of his on a few Warp samplers.. mm.. I was hoping it would rock.. :)
sadist: I've only heard snippets, didn't like it that much. actually, the "leading" samples I had made about half a year ago (the percussion, the jazzy bits) - they just kept floating in my head. so I decided to pull them out again. :)

you took the long way to make this. you could have turned on the washing machine and switched the volume of a static radio station on and off. the panning was the only interesting thing. the rest would not be interesting to aliens that came to earth in search of the whimsical obscure interesting products of the universe.

i seriously wonder how you create your music qrter...
I listened to it yesterday and couldn't stand it... and now today this thread came back to the frontpage of the mb, and i decided to give it another chance... and now a few listens later it's slowly beginning to grow on me.
The intro is really nice... alot more straightforward then i'm used from your music :-p So i was quite surprised... and then the sound suddenly drops, and only then the song really starts. I like little things like that :-) Songs that are surpristing and not straightforward.
But yeah... it's really quite good. What first sounded like a lot of random sounds thrown together, it's now starting to sound more coherent with each listen. The main melody is just beautiful... and i love how organic it sounds. On your site it says music is a small machine. With this track i imagine a very old and rusty machine that is barely still working...only just able to still produce sound. (as opposed to alot of other electronic tracks that sound very "clean" and crisp). But your music always seems a bit fuzzy, i like that.
But ehr... oh yeah... how do you create something that takes so long to get "into"... i wonder? (or was that just me)...
I can't imagine you coming up with a song and thinking: "nah this is no good". And then after a while thinking: "no wait, actually it's not bad!" ;-)
Or do you start out with a simple melody, and then build it all the other stuff around it to make it less accesable. Hm... oh well... to sum it up: i like it. Infact i think out of all the tracks i heard from you, i think this is my favourite.

cyberquak: you took the long way to just say you didn't like it - so I guess we're soulmates really.
glass-eater: I can see that (the messiness thing). um, not a lot more I can say to that.. :)
surrounded: uh.. I don't really try to make music thats specifically hard to get into at first and gets better with each listen.. nor do I take something simple and try to make it less accesible..
I guess I try to make it as accesible as possible to me - I try to make what I would like to hear. and then I really want to know whether other people like the same thing. um.. anyway, glad you like it.. :)

Listening while I type...
Here we go I press play now!
--- Some nicely changed jazzy sound, repetetive, just as I like it.
THere's some percussion in it. Suddenly it's all gone. Voices? I like the percussion going through it. Waterish sounds. Burbling indeeed! I like it, but its more soundscaping i.m.o. now there's some sea-like sound. Random FX. I dont like that much, its too disturbing, too loud maybe, allthough it's nice sound.
And after some noice the jazzy beat is back. I like that jazzy sound the best, the saxophone-like sound sounds like hornets flying around my head. :)
The playing between the loud and the soft parts doesnt really convince me.
The end is near!!! The end is near!!! Chaos!!! The chaos from the last 20 seconds is nice :).
Conclusion:
overall idea I get is that its a jazzy track with another track glued in the middle.
I really like the middle part, the soundscaping thingy with the underwatersounds. And the stereo burbling fx.
The intro and the end I dont find as good as the middle part. You managed to really transform the jazzy beat into something different and managed to keep the jazzy feel.
:)

but i see that many people have the same problem and they are posting so...
i like the song, very nice. i have to say that cyberquack was right. it sounds like you would have sampled your dishwasher or something...
cool though

glass_eater: thats interesting.. I would say the last third is much more messy and loud..

so I guess you have a feeling that there is structure missing, or..? is it too messy..?
or to put it in other words - what do you see as a 'red line'..? (I ask because I think we may have differing thoughts on this..)

Nice track. Very original and creative.
Rather than typing a bunch of shit, I would have to say my review would sound similar to C738's review.
Question for the MB people: Why does qrter's track get tons of responses, but when i release a new track, no one notices. Maybe I should put more !!!! into my title :D Anyways here is a shameless plug.
Dont be afraid to chew me into piece or tell me I suck. I can handle it, as long as you stay constructive.
P.S. keep up the good work you music makers you!

mm..
well I just read your thread and am d/l the track now - I'll reply in your thread..
one thing that does seem important in posting tracks: make it clear in the topic title that it is a new track. when I read "Open minded?" I think, "oh weathered is having a discussion about whether people are openminded enough these days" or something. the "make it look interesting"-psychology doesn't really work in this instant.
now, to listen to your track!

Verreken ik heb nu nog eens geluisterd maat, en 'k vind het wel beestig goe je nummers, maar ik heb de indruk dat het niet duidelijk is wat je wil overbrengen.
Ik weet echt niet waar je je structuur in steekt...
Wel man, I've listend again, and I think it's a real wicked song, but I think it is not very clear what you are trying to say...
I don't see where you put your structure

But that will only be because I'm blind at that point.
I quite sure you are indeed working with a structure, but I can't see it !
the red line is how this relates to that, And it just seems a very heavy kakafonie if you know what I mean

GreenT: I see what you mean, but to me the structure is quite clear. this is always a danger when using Cubase SX (as I do) - while I'm making a track I simply SEE the structure.. the kakafonie (as you call it) was worse - this is like the fourth full mix. it could be because of my mixing - I mix on headphones. you'll always hear more detail in my tracks on headphones.. : s
um, and if you still don't hear it after a few listens I guess you just don't hear it - nothing wrong with that, its just not to your taste.
flea: your avatar made me laugh out loud (or "lol" as the kids like to type these days, I believe..).
anyway, thanks for the praise. I'll give mr.Lidell's work some more consideration and attention. John Zorn, you say..? interesting.. however, I can't place the Techno Animal reference. for the greatest part, I suspect, because I don't know an outfit by that name..
C738: that you are not a 'kenner' is besides the point. your opinions are no less valid. :)

yes, not so much in this track. I only used a bit crusher in Cubase itself, I think.
most of the samples are prepared in SoundForge 6.0 with LOTS of plugins.. :P
