I know certain, "prefered listeners" have heard this already, but for those of you who haven't here's my new track, Paraffin Psychic I think it's probably the most professionally produced/mixed of my tracks, although the melody/actual content isn't as good as some of my best work.
It's a fairly ambient piece and is best listened to through a decent set of headphones or you'll miss all the detail.
Anways, let me know what you think. Be as honest as you like- I don't take criticism personally...
Thanks, Ceri.

it's pretty good, even though ambient stuff doesn't usually interest me much. that picture's awesome but doesn't represent the track well. autechre resembles that picture. your track is more like the soundtrack to a videogame where you are in a haunted house, only the camera angle is often annoying and gets in the way of the gameplay, and the gameplay is about solving puzzles and stuff, not about action.

for some reason I got only 1:54 worth of it..:(
but yeah sounds really polished and professional..I dug the distant little voices and clicks etc..gives it a panoptic depth..so actually I can see the graphic working with it

Nice description- someone else had likened it to exploring a dark damp cavern with a lantern. The graphic wasn't made for the track- just something I'd done and later thought that it was fairly suitable for the track :)
Cheers Flea: Sorry you only got 1.54 of it- it should be about 6.30 I think...

i didn't know you made the picture. I actually even thought it was some microscopicly magnified somethingerather. It's awesome. I couldn't do that with this AWESOME program "paint". (I made my awesome avatar with that)... I'd need a swirlamagic effect too

Th epic is a detail of a fractal, with a load of effects & filters applied. I have a bigger version (1600*1200 * 16.7 mil colours) of it as my desktop. My screen saver is that image being distorted by a glass spiral lens, looks really cool.

Glad you like it, whichever one it is...
(Begins to think that posting the picture on the same thread as his new track actually draws attention away from rather than to it...)

The production on this piece was clear and lucid--I thought there could have been more variation in the music, and maybe some interspersions of noises or something at sporadic intervals.
Anyways, I liked it.

Cheers for the feedback Marlowe. There is quite a lot of variation in the background synths- but it's hard to make out unless you listen to it pretty loud through headphones. I agree that the main part is a bit too repetative- it just goes back and forth between 2 main parts continously- it was meant to be a comment (feel free to make accusations of pretence...) on how life goes up then down all the time- one part is bleak the other optimistic. I'm intending to put one more sample in this track (I have the sample in mind, but I need to find a little kid who'll say it for me) then use it as the closing track for my demo cd-r.

I don't understand why you have to be over 21 to DL it... I don't think I left it as adult content (there isn't any-just some scary stuff!)
Spikee: I do a similair thing, often on ftp where it insists on an email addresses (in format at least) w/o checking it, I put:
"noneOfYourBusinessYouSpamHungryTw@face.org"
Something funny for the admin to read in their logs ;)
I've been meaning to link a spy thing (mic that can pic up distant conversations/stuff through walls etc.) to a portable recording device to get some cool samples...

Seeing as Fat Kaimo is now online:
I listened to both tracks (first ogg vorbis I ever DLed!)- I liked them both a lot. The old ballroom style of the sound of 140802 was good and I liked the organ/nature quality of 150702.
Onlt possible criticism could be overuse of crackle on 140802- it may be intentional, but the fact that it occurs only as the music gets louder suggest distortion. Still, it's a bit to intense to be really relaxing so I guess it doesn't disrupt the mood. Good stuff, I liked it.
Is the album available to buy yet?

(ogg vorbis is the way to go!)
thank you a lot for your comments - i'm glad you liked the songs.
yeah the crackle and distortion is intentional... i like lo-fi sounds (these songs are actually quite polished).
the album is not out yet, i hope it will be soon, but because of money issues it's being delayed...
it will be a very small press of blank cdr with maybe a handmade photo/black paper as a cover, mostly given to friends and maybe sent to some labels.

I like using lo-fi samples on polished tracks, it proves you can do both :)
Are all your tracks named after dates or just that album? It's quite an original idea :)

and i listened to your song too - not bad at all! it starts surprisingly right away which isn't too usual (a segue to another song maybe?). the main synth is a bit muddy, that's just the feel you wanted? the atmosphere is really good, but i don't really like the "bells" in the backround... the song also ends a bit abruptly.
anyway i'm not saying i don't like it, because i do! yeah it's good.

hmm, i don't know how original it is but i've found that i don't want to name my songs anymore. i don't know, maybe i don't wan't to give any impression of what the song is about or something... the songs on my 'fat kaimo' album all had stupid names but maybe it was a stupid album too...

Ceri dude, Are you like gonna make an ambient CD? That would be pretty cool if you treat it like a project and pour a lot of production into it. Maybe have a new mp3.com space for it under a project name? I dunno if you go for this but I just think it would be pretty cool.

Yes, that track was 1 of a proposed series of 4. I'm going to try to make a cohesive EP where the style is fairly consistant. I've been toying with the idea of an alter ego/side project for a while now. This could be the one to make it worthwhile.
Any ideas/suggestions for style/stuff to include on the other 3?

I'll try to make it "Nice and Good" :) I'm working on synth patches at the moment, but I'll start work on the second track in the next couple of days. I'll keep you posted.
I'm tempted to do a run of say, 500 cds and send 100 out to labels, sell some to stores etc. I'd need to have more tracks I was really confident of before making that type of investment though...
