I have to ask... ...do your pieces take forever to make, or do you have some work-around options that certain software programs may offer? I am slightly familiar with reason, but not with any of the others you use. Just curious! Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

hey man........ thanks so much for the listens... your music is really really inspiring. the comunity i've been hangin' out in for a while is acidplanet.com....... so the directions of artists here at MJ are different..... just plain refreshing..... some of 'em (my tracks) take a while. the more erratic they sound, the lengthier it is for me...... i do all edits and performance manually. as far as software i use---- reason izotope spectron - just a fancy flange/delay/smear fx vst izotope ozone 3 - a multicompressor/eq/overall mastering absynth - a wonderful -WONDERFUL- softsynth wavelab -mastering program to host vsts/plugins because i'm a stubborn ass, i never use prefab loops or anything that isn't synthesized/programmed/played from the raw/scratch........ so some things take a little while. ho hum. thanks again - shawn Check out my latest song called lit with a wet match.

I do all edits and performance manually... YOU DO WHAT? I can't believe you do all of that by hand! I've done a lot of finely detailed stuff and sometimes its so frustrating. I can't imagine writing music that specialises in that sort of thing. Do yourself a favour and go check out either Max/MSP (http:// www.cycling74.com) or PD (http://pure-data.iem.at/). They are effectively audio programming tools and are very powerful. Once you start getting to know your way around these programs, almost anything is possible with them. I've only been using Max/MSP for a few months and I'm building instruments out of it... I've got no doubt that you'd be able to work out a way to do all that glitchy stuff in realtime relatively easily. --- The Composer, previously known as The Pianist who hasn't played the piano in a while...

This stuff is great First of all, I've gotta ask you if IDM stands for anything, cause I've got a feeling I might be missing out on entire genre of interesting music at the moment. Anyway, this is probably my favourite out of the 3. The mix is very much to my tastes (lots more bass than the first and the higher frequencies are more occasional). Struggling for critisisms here but... one of the things I've kept through the other pieces is that the foreground and background material feel misplaced to me. Foreground and background are generally determined by the level of reverb and volume... and on all of these songs, the melodic material is quite wet (lots of reverb) compared to the drum tracks (though there were some nice and noticable occasions where the drum tracks had a lot of reverb to them) and are also softer than the drum tracks. So even though the melodic stuff is nice to listen to, its the drum tracks that attract all my focus. That all being said, I can understand that a lot of that stuff (especially the reverb side) may just be a consequence of the glitchy nature of the music or the genre itself. If it is, then feel free to discard that comment. The only other thing... is that I think I wanted the song to build just a little more towards the end or something. Maybe a stronger focus on the melodic material... lots of doubling... making a very full sound. Eitherway, this stuff is great... and you've convinced me to start downloading at least this trio (I havn't actually downloaded any other music from MacJams yet). So congratulations :P Check out my latest song called 25 Minutes in a Japanese Restaurant (Readers Digest Version) (MJRF)

hmmm. IDM. well........ genre wise it's a toss up.experimental electronica with glitchy beats n melodies (?) conventional yet surreal (?) IDM actually stands for Intelligent Dance Music. i don't think anyone who catagorizes there tracks under this considers their stuff Intelligent or Dance........ it's just a slap happy genere............. almost glitch up......... thanks so much for the thoughtful reviews..... and i'm glad it has tweaked your interest........ the popular artists that i could list for this type of music would be ----- "autechre" - "aphex twin" - " boards of canada" - " squarepusher" - check them out if you don't already know their tracks......... thanks man. Check out my latest song called lit with a wet match.
