since i was apparently too late for the xltronic vibes comp, maybe you'd like to hear the track that i submitted too late. the title and location are: weathered plateau
as usual, i'd like to hear your thoughts, especially if you've heard the xltronic mix (for some reason the lofi stream isn't working for me). this track is totally different from anything i've posted yet...

Very nice! But the insistent steady insect noise in the first half is annoying. It's like an alarm clock. Needs to be lower or have more variation or both. I'm glad it fades out and you start to vary your insect orchestra halfway through.
What musicians, books, chemicals, experiences, movies or mineral formations inspired it?

if you flail your arms wildly the buzzing will diminish significantly. yes, most people don't like loud buzzing insects. but i didn't realize that most people were not like me until after i finished the track.
it all began when i ran my finger along the windowsill and came up with a grey smudge of dust on the end of my finger. as i looked closer, i looked closer and closer. and then suddenly it was five minutes earlier. all things pivot around one point, generally referred to as now. your secrets are also your lies. and then the lambent curtain separating the world of the living from the world of the dead is dissolved, and it's time to make an ambient track for your third eye. so the source of motivation and inspiration is in all things, and yet it seems shrouded in mystery. i guess the xltronic vibes angle should be worked in there somewhere, too, but seeing as how we are deep within these unfamiliar woods and the sun is beginning to set we really should find our bearings and head home...

God work : )

very interesting track you've got here.. i really like the strings/guitar harp sound or whatever it is, that plays throughout.. very nice.. intriguing and haunting..
i like the overall eeriness that this track with the backwards-sounding ghostly wind-gust-like sounds, strange electronic/radio-like babbling, and i like the insect chirps, although it's a little distracting, it give the track a nice touch.. i also found a few of the vocal samples to be maybe a little too loud/distracting from the overall subdued, calm, eerie-kinda vibe this track has, but i still loved it..
keep up the great work sir, immensely enjoyed.

one last trip around th' block. think of listening to this track as a special favor for someone you like, whoever that may be. i think you will appreciate the perspective from this plateau.

hmm.. now that i listen to this some more, with headphones the voice samples really fit nicely.. i couldn't quite make out the words before..now i like how they almost neatly and interestingly interrupt the track in a way..as well as those cricket chirps.. but i still can't tell what's being said on the sample near the end of the song.. what does it say, if i may ask? i know it's not really necessary to know that to enjoy the song, but i'm just curious.
really nice job.. this track really does not deserve any negative criticism.
is there any guitar on this track or is it just synth..?

i like it. has a warm summer night kindof feel to it. but at the same time...in the background...kindof a "warm summer night...UNTIL" thing going.
...does that make sense? anyways...i like it. nicely done. heh. =]

thanks very much to everyone who has listened and commented.
the second voice sample says:
"why are you talking so much, [so and so] you never used to talk so much." followed by [so and so] giggling.
this track has no guitar at all, it's all processed samples (bassoon). almost every sound in the track is derived from the bassoon. but you can hear my appreciation for the guitar in the textures, i think.
