Part Two of my Experimental Ambient Project Available For Your Aural Sipping And Cogitational Eating

y0, the second part of my experimental ambient project,
renamed to "two point six six six hour ambient project" is
on my zebox site and ready to be listened to, baby!

For those of you who missed part one, the 44-deep thread for
it can be found right here so you can catch up first.

Part II is, of course, right here!

Thank you from the bottom of my toes for taking time out on
this Sunday afternoon (or maybe it'll be Monday or later
when some of you perhaps listen to it) to listen to this
emanation from the shadowy recesses of my interior!

Bodhidharma Loves You!

Well, I'm going for my afternoon walk and read along the
riverside now -- I would be most jubilant if, upon my
return, this thread had blossomed into double figures! one
can only hope, I suppose.

Adios for now!

listened to both. first one is better imo. vocals a bit
boring; the use of echo to lend the vocals some surreal
eeriness is trite. the effect that sounds like a metalized
pidgeon coo ought also be scratched. lots of good potential
here, really, but a little too twilight zone for my liking.

thanks for the feedback, pleasant pedalling ;) I'm sorry you
didn't like parts of it, but it will hopefully all come
together like a good Tony Hart picture ;) I hope you like
it, Rambling!

Right now, I am doing some percussion sequencing on Reason,
using three ReDrums, no looping, and I think I'll add a
fourth :D

This sequencing is going crazy-good!! btw, this is a
pitieous call for someone else to live in this thread! It's
lonely :S

*Downloading part 2*

Reason is such a creative program to work with, no spending
all day pissing about with non music making tasks, it runs
like a dream & it makes sense. I wish I'd have bought it
years ago, instead of wasting my time with other programmes
that didn't suit the way I worked.

Listening for the fourth time...... I'm being completely
honest when I say that this track is complementing my mood
this evening perfectly, the track has such a lovely warm yet
slightly mysterious feel to it, I like the vocals, they give
the track an extra something that you wouldn't get if they
were left out but it seems like the track is to fixed around
the vocal, when I say fixed I mean you should expand the
rest of the track & not just finnish the track because the
vocals have finnished...... like, the vocals should be there
to add flavour & not play through the bulk of the track,
maybe you could cut the vocals up & spread them out a bit
(obviously the track would need to be
lengthened)............ actually, no.... on second thoughts
scrap that. I'm now leaning more towards leaving it as it is
& after the last line breaking into colourfull cut-up
ambient laughter & jolly bouncing breakbeats, loads of fx,
maybe someone talking to a pigeon, or even better..... cut
up the theme to Pigeon Street, dip it in verb & sprinkle it
very sparingly over the top of the laughter &
breaks.......... the possibilities are endless. I'll tell my
people to get in contact with your people & we can go from
there.

True, it is very useful for certain things -- the percussion
sequence is 60 bars long so far, and I'm having a ball with
it. :)

Good stuff, excellent use of space through proper use of
panning. Really impressive. Most enjoyable.

btw........ if you were just after a simple good or bad
answer then I like it very much. Sorry if I was starting to
ramble but I was in the clutches of your track at the time &
it was taking me on a ride..... I ride that I will no doubt
be boarding again in the near future. Jolly good track ol'
chap

Thanks Lee :) I really do like certain aspects of part II
myself - it feels more accomplished in places than any of my
other stuff. BTW< I think you'll like this percussion
sequence I'm working on ;)

I think from a technical aspect it is your most occomplished
peice so far...I am very much looking foward to the
continuation of this project :)

Ah, I didn't see your initial ruminations there! Oops! :D It
is the second part of a much larger work - two point six six
six hours of ambient stuff ... the tracks will be united as
one long track - part II flows from part I, etc :D I'm very
glad that you liked it!!

once again, a fine piece of music.

that 'lsd-test' video is great by the way. good idea to
sample that voice.

hilarious!
