Doris the cleaning girl? What a waste of her talents. Clearly she needs to walk around with paint slathered all over her perfect skin. Victor. --- -- I review yours, you review mine, 'kay? Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

makes me wanna flange somebody... As a young teen, I would get up every morning at 4 AM and fold newspapers and then ride through the neighborhood delivering them on my bike... the crickets, sound of whirring spokes, and the occasional train... slightly flanged by the crisp morning air... and the touch of ominous darkness, not knowing if that pack of dogs was right around the corner again this morning... all brought back delicious shivers of youth. I loved those quiet early morning rides in the unearthly quiet town. Great soundscape here, I must draw a comparison to Mungo... similarly evocative moody feel. ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Belle Aire (for Mandolin Orchestra)

Ah... Newspaper days I actually did that too. Loooooong time ago, but it was a great way to make some money. Yes, there is something special to night sounds where there's almost no one around. Victor. --- -- I review yours, you review mine, 'kay? Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

ominous Drakonis was wise to evoke the pack of wild dogs -- there is a kind of dread in this piece that can be part of a late night jaunt. I like the digital -- I dunno what you'd call it, I wanna say "distortion" -- low sample rate thingie that you have in the background, I could interpret it as metaphoric. The seeming commentary on the moments you recorded is what makes it a proper musical experience. It's a nice ambient thing you've done! Check out my latest song called Black Dance

Commentary Thanks. The challenge of this piece was to bring out the elements that were already there, and make them sound musical. The moving bass is a combination of some filters; the chirping high sounds are manipulated cicadas; the rhythm is the train sample, &c. Fun exercise and I'm glad you got a kick out of it.

Vic... Is it okay to say, that this made me feel creepy! Interesting experiment, to say the least. I NEVER watch horror movies! There too intense for me. To my surprise, this evoked terror and quite a bit of horror, too! Yikes! I'm just gonna bet, that you met your goal with me. Nice job, I think... Dion Check out my latest song called Pavel

Ooooh! Very Ghost train-ish here.... but that sounds like a horse and carriage later on trotting down a cobbled street. Really creepy, but excellent sounds, M Check out my latest song called Shine Your Light

I think the shoes were out of time This is what I really like about MJ. I can listen to everything from a sensitive classical piece and this in just a few clicks. Some amazingingly diverse talent on this board. Interesting stuff Vic. Cheers Dick Check out my latest song called Not For The Likes of You

Don't think I'd like to listen to this at night in a graveyard. Not that I would of course I'd be too busy digging. This really is evocative and extremely well done, I think a horror director would drool for it. Ha ha ha (Denis Price voice). Cheers Len Check out my latest song called B E A U T I F U L

real ambient this is the real 'ambient' genre -- i love this kind of thing excellent sound processing! the occasional passing car works nice - love the train whistle - the mood brings out some sort of primal fear of the night don't know what that sound is at the ending - a siren? - but it's great! thanks Check out my latest song called RUOK

thanks for the compliments The sound at the end is a passing car, first put through the Space Designer reverb (preset: Black Hole), and then through a couple of MHC Flex Resonator, where I'm twiddling the resonance frequency downward. That resonator effect is also used earlier to make the sound of the car door closing a bit more than life size. I had a blast doing this.... Victor. --- -- I review yours, you review mine, 'kay?

Extremely interesting track was this recorded in Austin? I just left this morning and will return on Sunday. I like how you processed the natural sounds and created a ring mod effect that carries the "melody". Unique coincidence with my notwink song - and also with the woman in the picture. Twilight Zone.

Could feel the cool... damp night air crawling on my skin. Chilling. A David Lynch feel to this. And what the heck where those cicadas saying anyway.... Charlie Check out my latest song called RADIANT FLESH (take 2)

Drone instrument The drone is the basic cricket sound sent through a comb filter modulated by two LFOs (I use Tassman to build that stuff), and then through OttoFilter. Remarkably, this makes a non-tonal drone suddenly sound like an instrument. It's the comb filter that accentuates certain frequencies very sharply. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

Cicadas Love the cicadas! Such great music from nature. OK, the train is just wonderful. What a terrific sound. The crickets in my earphones are driving me insane. Get out of my head! Sounds like Martian crickets (as in the movie "Five Million Years To Earth") trying to take over the planet. Creepy, but in a cool way. You're having way too much fun with all your plug-ins. The effect after the engine-ignition is lots of fun. Check out my latest song called Woodwind Family Song

Cool piece. Not much into experimental which seems more appropriate than ambient but it held me to the end. Check out my latest song called Caldari

I don't care What made you decide to do this. I am happy you tried. You made me think about the sort of sounds you hear each day. Tune up those shoes and do it again. Great. Thanks. Check out my latest song called The Sea

Thanks for commenting I've become rather fond of this "tune", and I have some ideas to do similar things. Stay tuned! Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

We actually know the girl in that picture you've used to illustrate your fine mix. Her name is Doris Nobbs and she works in our local pub as a cleaner. What a fucking coincidence. Good sounds chief.
