That busted Interesting... you described another one of my tunes in a similiar way before... like being in an old mansion ("resuscitated joy", I think). Maybe I am like one of those vampires that sit there and play organ in their haunted mansion all night... except the organ is a part of me... like an antique-futurist cyborg... uh oh... entering sci fi territory again...!

That busted Truly, you are the master of the decrepit/abandoned post-cyberpunk architectural soundscape. resuscitated joy, with that heartbeat and haunted mansion, belongs on the same reel as this one. --- <a href="http://www.macjams.com/song/20001">Ruins of Earth</a> Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Dude, you are so strange - I know you are But that was quite intriguing - I was just gonna take a short listen after I downloaded it, and then run off and finish my work w/ thoughts to comment later... - But now that I've been stopped dead in my tracks, I just wanted to take the time to tell ya what a fine job of again, reeling me into you very strange, but intriquing view of the 'time stress fracture' -- I Never know what I'm about to hear w/ you, and I can't even say that there's a particular Stun Nutz thing to it except that there's always an interesting hypnotic peregrine-like beat to your tunes that just draws ya - You're such an artist - What's the deal w/ the big kitty, though - I already know that it's over my head, but humor me...

Dude, you are so strange - I know you are OK... initially I liked the mad animal noise because I thought it was crazy and disturbing (I hope it's not overdone...now I am wondering if it is a little corny...oh well). Anyway, I got to thinking about what it meant to me... it's like being trapped in a corner... like an animal that has no choice but to defend itself. I feel trapped by time. It just slips away... there is never enough of it. Sometimes it makes you just want to scream...! When it comes down to it, I think all these crazy noises are a way to deal with my repressed feelings. (If that doesn't explain it, listen to "spagizm" again!!! ha ha!)

Dude, you are so strange - I know you are Well, I could have told ya that I liked the kitty; it fit right in, and perfectly so - Mostly, I was cuourious how ya made the connection cause I didn't get it - But who could get every element that an artist has choosen to create with, and epecially after only a few listens... I'm not sure I'd want anyone to get everything I did and all the reasons why... So don't cha be goin and have second thoughts about it, sir - Thank you - Dion --- <a href=http://homepage.mac.com/ddionyoung/FileSharing6.html>That's EJH</a> Check out my latest song called 123 iGetU

rabid Cool soundscape... well, not really cool so much as creepy. :-) This could be the theme song for the feature film El Chupacabra (if there were one). And if there were, and your song was in it, I'd go see it pronto. I like what you do with the space between my ears; everything moves so fluid between the poles.

Intriguing textures In some ways this is quite a difficult track to get into but the sacred feel to the organ playing combined with the 'noisy bits' (which almost turned into a recognisable rhythm!) hooked me in. I listened a few times and to be honest I'm not sure if I liked this or not - however, it's well done and full of atmosphere - quite perturbing but intriguing - and inspired.

Hey I know what you mean. Sometimes I have go back and listen to tunes a second or third time before I comment as well. The only problem with that is sometimes I forget to comment at all.

hippos on the nile my favorite stun nutz trax all share a quiet, cold, emotional streak- like frozen sadness or, less prosaically, a ghost. then you bring in a very real, gritty, primal rhythm. your rhythms here are so insanely detailed that it's like reading brail with your eardrums. and the inclusion of the creatures make things anchor around an extra earthy channel that is decidedly less urban, but still tastes like concrete. really really great stuff eric. part of me wants to hear you remake those animal noises- with vinyl. c'mon, watch any and all footage of dj qbert and give it a whirl.

hippos on the nile Thanks EA... yeah! one of the reasons why I used the mad animal sound is that it reminded me of some of the noises you get with scratching... I have never properly "scratched" on a turntable, though... I would love to try! Maybe EE could show me. Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

Stun(ning)! Experimental indeed.. guess it as experimental as experimental gets. Your boldness in mixing these disparate sounds into a musical melange is admirable. It takes audacity to break new ground in music and I think that is what you have. You have no fear in your musical adventurism. You just might find the holy grail of the next great style in music. I gotta check the rest of your catalog and experience your otherworldly music. That will be quite a ride, i think.

Very Intriguing Quite enjoyed this and there were a couple of things I found quite interesting about this. For starters the organ in the background against the glitchy sounds (in a couple of layers too which was nice) did certainly give it that old, dark, empty mansion type of feel which worked well. I also particularly liked it how the drums slowly grew out of the glitchy stuff, so it wasn't until they started playing looping patterns that you actually realised that it was an effected drum kit... very cool! Some critisms though.... the lion roar didn't quite work for me. Though I understand the idea about the being trapped in a corner sort of thing, it didn't fit into any of the musical ideas that you already had... ie, it didn't have any connection with an old house/organ and with all the the glitch sounds, thier source (what the sounds orginally were) wasn't immediately recognisable... where the lion roar is definately a lion roar... theres no doubt about it. It would've worked better for me if you had either used human sounds trying like an animal (like you've brought up by wolves etc) or used other sounds to mimic a lion roar... if you could find a shareware audio program that can do a process called convolving, it would be perfect for this (convolving combines different different elements of two sounds together to create a new sound). The other thing, is that I felt this had somewhere more to go... particularly after I realised that you were building the drums I expected to the piece to start building alot more... drums getting more frenetic and the like... building the level of energy/noise etc. Anyway... quite enjoyed it... thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Very Intriguing Thanks for checking this out, Composer... you have highlighted exactly the two things that I was a little unsure about... the animal sound and the length of the piece. As far as the animal sound goes, I have a tendency to throw very disparate elements together and try to make them fit (like putting a square peg ina round hole). Sometimes it works better than others. Maybe if there was a story to go with this that described the animal, like Miss Chaos' El Chupacabra idea, then people would accept it a little better. Also, I agree it would be cool to have the animal noise more integrated with the music. I like the idea of starting out with it being unrecognizable, or Eccentrik's idea of using turntable scratching to create the sounds. As far as the length of the piece goes, I often get antsy and overly eager to post the thing that I may not realize at first that it could have gone much further. I do have to say that I did want to end this on a quiet note, as opposed to a build and build... I did that on my last collab, "daydreams dissolved" and wanted to try a little different approach this time around. I will defeinitely take your comments into consideration if I decide to go back and take this piece further, though. Thanks! Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

Ok, now i got it. It took me a few dedicated listens. But now it is "clicking" for me. Nice work on the organ. The tone works great with the theme of the piece. The first time i heard the piece I didn't even notice it--all I could sense were the "minced loops". I think at first I felt that the blips and snippets were too predominant. But maybe thats the point: we get too wrapped up in the time it takes to get something done (the ticks and tacks), and forget to really enjoy what it is we're actually doing (the hauntingly beautiful organ). The lion roar. At first I was perplexed. Is it possible for something to seem incongruous in a StunNutz piece? After a few listens it has grown on me, but I part of me wishes to hear some pitch warping done on the roar a-la Spagizm. Maybe what was so out-of-place with the lion roar is that it appeared (I think) mostly untouched. Having said all that, it is not up to the composer to dumb the music down to the listener, but rather the listener who has to rise to the challenge of seeing the master's vision. I will work to understand the voice of the lion. Oooo...the master. I just refered to you as "the master". Ha! How big Eric's head must be right now. Once again, awesome awesome work. I am humbled.

Liked it I liked the odditt of it all; lots to pick out on different listenings. The lion roar didn't seem out of place to me, and the length is fine. However, it certainly could be longer-it could evolve more than it does, or something different could be introduced. Also, just a thought, but the static-y crackling that accompanies it all could be something that is introduced more gradually, starting out as almost inaudible background noise, and gradually building to be the principal thing you hear. At which point it could cut out abruptly (and the piece could end), or you could do the reverse and have it fade away again (but more quickly). Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

bus compared to your other stuff, the sampled sounds are really all I like from this tune. and I really like them.
