no one is interested mate, take your custom somwhere else, like A RECORD COMPANY!
no one wants to hear it, i dont anyway, if your music sounds that good why dont you send it to a record label instead of spamming this board.
no offence ment, youre probably a nice guy wiyth good music taste (youre on the aphex twin site), sorry if i offended blah blah blah

Hey Ptolemy,
Is there any way we can stream your tracks? If not I can recommend RealProducer to get some streaming on your site.
I'll download one of your tracks anyway and let you know what I think.
Incidentally, I've just done a click-glitch remix of one of my tracks I think you guys would like. Please check out the 'High Altitude Remix' of 'Low Grav Freefall' and let me know what you think.
Surely there's no harm in asking for opinions from like-minded individuals, eh?
Cheers,
Chris.
'MCL' is on its way down my phoneline...

Ptolemy,
I'm listening to MCL now... This is quite a pretty song, reminds me of LFO a bit. Nice little rhthm you got going there, like it.
How did you create the vocal (I think) sample, sounds like something slowed down quite a bit.
What's the story behined the music, if you don't mind me asking? It sounds quite tragic but in a settling, accepted sort of way (if that makes sense).
Good musical song, I like it - keep it up.
Chris.
PS I'm downloading Myriad now...

chris,
your interpretation of MCL is frighteningly dead-on. the song stands for micheal christopher larson, a friend of mine who committed suicide in his first year of university. so when you say that the song is tragic, but in a settled kind of way, it is exactly that.
weird

Ptolemy,
I'm really sorry to hear that - that really is tragic.
I've listened to Myriad and like the percussion, good programming. I'm not too keen on the string sound - it sounds a little dead, a little movement in the strings would sound better IMO.
I wasn't too sure about the beginning - the beat seemed a little generic, but I liked it when the song got going, with all the crazy rhythms flying around - that's cool. Seems to finish a little too sudden though, perhaps an extra minute or so tagged-on would help. I liked the way everything fitted together once everything got going. Keep it up.
Have you got round to listening to any of my stuff yet?
Cheers,
Chris.

Great tunes mate! I like the airpot tune the best. The keyboard line is quite hypnotic and you build up to some great beats. The other tracks are real nice too. Great production!
I\'d like to share my stuff too if you all would listen. I\'m real proud of my most recent tune \"beautiful\".

Keep up the good work ptol! tim digital d.

ochre- Well you have stuff that can be streamed (which my computer still has a hard time handling on low fi) and this seems to be turning into a music feedback exchange thingy so...
I was really impressed with your low gravity freefall mix. The tones and clicks at first glance don't seem compatible, but actually intertwine for quite a nice listen. (until my mp3 player cut off after about 2 min. like usual) I actually don't really like the children playing with legos song. I like the slow tones, but I don't think the drumish beat "evolved from almost nonsense to a pulsing beat" like that one dude said. The beat was too junky. But the "twinkly" part was really cool. (I see you added some of those "speak and spell" sounds (some computer saying letters, he he heh- for a song based almost entirely on a speak and spell I HIGHLY recommend "walking on eggshells" by www.mp3.com/jbohn (james bohn))
My songs are basically trying to do as quirky things as possible using really crappy equipment. I'd suggest "asexual spore releasing hyper bloomer" (noise-ish) or "plight of inchworm" (melody) or "blue crayons (from melted smurfs)"

Tim-doggy-snoopdoggy-dog, Well I havn't heard "beautiful" yet so listened to that. It seems to be 2 songs in one sort of. I'm not terribly impressed with the first. It takes quite awhile for the faster drums to kick in and somewhat cure the repetitive yucky fade-in tones :). The second "half" of the song was better though. I really liked the get up alarm mix though. Oh, that damn alarm!! You have to hear it every morning. It's sound fits in your memory with awful peripheral memories- going to school, going to work, getting out of bed, ug. So what a great sound to make a song out of! But instead of finding anything really resembling an alarm, there was a nice rhythm and melody. What the song could really use is more mixing of parts (ie. take out parts of the whole for awhile and bring them back awhile later)
