plaidzebra remix..

i've just finished up a new song, which is kinda
a departure from my usual glitched-out, abstract, somewhat
dark music.. this is more gentle and basic.
i would appreciate any feedback/listens, i'm mainly posting
this for plaid to hear, but if anyone else is interested,
that's great too.
thanks in advance.
'tis called "a href="http://www.zebox.com/q4z2x/">voices
from somewhere"

its good but it sounds like a bunch of loops that enter at
predictable times. There is variety and such, and the track
is pretty interesting, but the loops are just too noticeable
when they appear.

yeah. i can see that. it's all one sequence with different
sounds added every 3 times. i wanted to try something a bit
different.. a bit more structured and repetitive, instead of
going off into all kind of weird tangents. my stuff is
usually just completely freeform or is comprised of many
loops building up onto each other.. i get bored while
writing sometimes and end up creating a "wall of sound" type
of loop and then exporting it out, slowly reconstructing it
piece by piece in a sound editor, gradually building it up
throughout the length of the song until it reaches the final
"wall of sound" towards the end of the track. this may be my
final official track under the "q4z2x" name.. so i figured i
should i finish it off with a semi-cheesy, back-to-basics
loop-fest like my tracks of yore.

thanks for listening and giving some needed input. i will
take it into consideration when writing my new ep in the
next few months, possibly under the name "bark".. expect
something completely different.
somebody tell me if that name's been used before.

thanks again.

listening now. really short, innit? i kind of like the
looping. if the beat was sped up progressively and then
slowed down to a more standard speed, i'd appreciate it much
more.

it has something to do with the variable bitrate encoding..
it always will tell you that the length is something that it
isn't..

i can hardly hear the original track at all in there.
actually, if i had not been told that this was a remix, i
would not have known. i would have liked to have heard it
several times not knowing it was a remix, first.
unfortunately my experience of the track is distorted by
that knowledge.

i don't mind repetition or predictability in the least, if i
like what i'm hearing. listen to "music for 18 musicians"
by steve reich, you know when all of the changes are coming.
if you like what you are hearing, repetition and
predictability are beside the point.

i think the percussion that was added needs a little
refinement, and i think you wrapped it up when you could
have continued building and warping for quite sometime. i
feel that the remix lacked a proper resolution.

overall i am very pleased with the result. the original
track was a slow motion ascent on a spiral escalator, while
this version is a slow motion descent via elevator in a
gently collapsing building. i only wish it had been a much
taller building.

thank you very much!

reminds me of nobukazu takemura circa the album "scope."
which is why this track needs to be seventeen minutes long.
