Okay update on the demo..all the discs have been burnt, covers folded and stamps licked..it all going out the door first thing tommorow morning..already suffering seperation anxiety...
I decided to add another track to the lineup of three..to smooth out the continuity a bit..here it is
Tinkerist Heart its actually even more abstract then the rest but it's got a very pronounced melodic content..let em know what you think..
here is the final line up of labels I am sending out to
Schematic Tigerbeat6 Planet Mu Mille Plateaux Warp Skam Rephlex
I might be able send out a few more later..

you know, a while back i was listening to one of the tracks you posted earlier... and suddenly the telephone rang... i picked up and it was my little brother (we have 4 telephones in the house, and they're also connected to each other... so he can call me from downstairs when i'm upstairs etc.)... and he asked rather aggressively: "What the hell?? Do you think it's normal to make such a godawful noise? I can hardly hear myself think!"
lol... and it wasn't even THAT loud, it's just your music that seems to have that effect. But i was enjoying it! I really like most of your songs. Tinkerist Heart is great also.
I wish you the best of luck, and hope that you get some positive reactions!

That was very good. Especially the beat, the melody was awkward. It sounds like maybe you used that one effect where on that one page it described it as "now you can bounce like aphex twin" (that vst or whatever.)

thanks for all the encouragement all of you guys..wouldnt have gone out and taken the plunge if it wasnt for all the encouragement I got from all of you..I just got back from posting all of the demos..fingers crossed..
surrounded..that was a strangely appropriate reaction to some of my music:)
Ceri JC-no I cant stop collaborating,especially since remix of Tearing down Barns is still oneoffavourite tracks I have done:)
Mickey Mouse-as always..thanks a bunch mate:)
Patrik..thanks..if you need some feed back on your tracks you know where to find me:)
_awt_..thanks..I mean to check out your new track:)
qrter-I meant to ask is that you in the avatar?...I have your copy of the demo ready and will be sending it out next week...and about the melody like a bad mother..that made me laugh :)
wMw- thanks:)The melody is awkward..because I started with a clean cut straight out midi melody and then processed and chopped it up..and no I am not using the "Bouncy" vst...and neither have I used "Crazy Ivan" in a song yet..I mean I have tried them but they are more like gimmicks really..Bouncy brings out this god awful hissing feedback out of my soundcard which just drowns everything else out..it's just a stripped down, flanger anyway...and Crazy Ivan is just... un managable....
I did all the processing here on Cool Edit Pro..so if you have been meaning to get it..do so..it's brilliant...
mylittlesister-thanks:)...um I had to delete one of the demo tracks from the knobject account..mud puppets is not on the demo..both Porntorn and Tinkerist Heart are..and the first track QoMA is here

Hey Flea, I just got the track (I wasn't at my house when I first posted).
God damn. Very good call on adding this one to the demo. Lovely sounds.
Hmmm... so Flea, what did you do before electronic music? You've mentioned in the past that you used to have a bass...

flea. no thats not me in my avatar. its a friend of mine, who really hates the photo, so lets hope she never finds out I'm using it here.. :P
looking forward to getting the demo and hearing it in full, as its supposed to be.
I'll be sending you a cd-r of my stuff next week probably, sending out some other stuff too (no demo's yet, maybe next month).

thank you Clic:)..everything I have been into has been partially electronic..starting with Casio SK-1 and CZ100 with Amiga 500 ..big Depeche Mode Fan Phase...then got into Industrial... playing bass through distortion and various other pedals..Flangers..Reverbs..then a detour into Classical Guitar..then got sick of anything that sounded like music..so got into noise...mellowed out into Noise Rock..Electronic Industrial, Hard Techno (early Aphex) then IDM...
bryce_berny..regarding Rephlex..I dont know they did put out..Virtual Farmer..one of the bigger inspirations on what's you are hearing there..
qrter-oay avatar mystery solved:) I will be sending yours out next week too..so we might end up getting the CDs simultaneously..:)

Flea, I DLed 3 of the tracks from you demo last night. Very good, I really liked them. I think if you send this to a few more labels you have a reasonable chance of getting signed.
As to what you said re: collaboration, I agree- I think my remix of UTFM is one of my best remixes. Any time you want a remix or want to collaborate on a track just email me the .flp or details of where I can get the .wavs etc. :)
