GRRRR &mdash 08/18/07 - 10:16:05 AM
What i see. The chest is cut open with every hit of the hi-hat and bit-crunched beat. A subtle sound warns me not to stay awake, still I plunge in and I feel warm dispair and pain. The low bass sound stiffened me up. Somefin must be wrong. The beat feels like the rythm section of an old organ gone psycho. Ahaa! The dpc found it, we need to get rid of it. A dark reverb and some nano-bots are gonna sort out. I lose my consciousness...

Great icon, Mr. Supa Freak! Thanks for being a supa fan with all the props and promotion... I really appreciate it. (Great imagery in the description also.)

There he is &mdash 08/18/07 - 11:05:52 AM
Mister rhythm freakazoid, himself...

The beauty of inferred melody w/ residue of invisible harmony...

You mechanical wizard, you.

I'm always left intrigued, partly satiated, w/ a desire for more or less, but not knowing...

But mostly, feeling better...

Thanks! Glad to hear you back! Dion

This is groovin', but down and dirty with it ... ghosts howls, squeaky gates, ominous electronics... scary stuff, excellent unease.

It gets better with each listen. By the way, those melted candles are really cool looking.

Yes, those are really cool looking... that photo helped me formulate the concept behind the music.

There's just no one like you, Mr. Stun Nutz. I always marvel at your ability to take sound-noise and make it musical...catchy, even. I've listened to this three times and there are more listens in my future, then maybe a trip around Spagizm.

I'm very happy to see you back!

[ Reply to This ]
It is... &mdash 08/19/07 - 10:03:10 PM
..good to hear you find the catchiness in my experiments... and it also makes me happy to see you are happy that I am back... I like your happy new photo as well... see you around!!

ouch &mdash 08/19/07 - 06:12:23 PM
I started to think about that Body Worlds exhibit... freaked me the hell out. I guess this would be falling into the chest cavity and then poking around the innerds a bit, eh? I can hear the nerves, the arteries, woah, there's the heart, and of course the brain sparks. Lots going on in yer head, buddy. Glad you found your way out. this is really astonishing production.

[ Reply to This ]
ooohh... &mdash 08/19/07 - 09:59:48 PM
...interesting that you would compare this to the Body Works exhibits... I have never seen them firsthand, but they have intrigued me and repulsed me at the same time. Funny, that's just the kind of balance I like in music!! You are right in your thinking...

[ Reply to This ]
Whoosh! &mdash 08/19/07 - 10:58:19 PM
Ditto what everyone else said, plus I love your attention to form. I love how it builds, diminishes: its a great piece. And you used Spear! Glad you could add it to your toolbox. I've played with it lots but haven't ventured so far as to use it musically.

Very cool, Stun. This piece sizzles.

[ Reply to This ]
Yes!!! &mdash 08/20/07 - 09:28:21 PM
Thanks again for the tip on Spear! It's a fun program, but I haven't figured out how to get really hi-quality audio out of it, so I layered the noise... here I primarily used it in the closing section (or "coda" if you will!!!).

delicious! &mdash 08/20/07 - 09:28:23 PM
was good going down. fun picking those ring modulated shavings from my teeth.

love the mesmerizing monotone bleeps in contrast with the screetches and howls. Erratic, eccentric, I love it!

emotive..... &mdash 08/21/07 - 10:08:45 PM
i know you like the comical side of sonic goo... but i love it when you go dark n fragmented. this is the best track since time stress fracture..... wonderful stuff man......

[ Reply to This ]
oh yeah..... &mdash 08/21/07 - 10:10:50 PM
the pic looks like a recon of chest CT gone amiss...... loved it. i'm a CT tech. so i couldn't help but get a kick out of it.....

[ Reply to This ]
I like that... &mdash 08/21/07 - 10:46:28 PM
"sonic goo"... that has a nice ring to it...! Yeah, it's interesting to see what kind of fans prefer the goofy stuff and which ones prefer the darker stuff. I am so goofy in real life that the darker stuff works as a nice balance. It shows a side of me that isn't often shown in the real world.

things I like &mdash 08/24/07 - 07:53:24 PM
Something close to some 'glitch', very interesting for my poor ears, let's spend time again w/that kind of stuff...

Joining of the disjointed? &mdash 08/24/07 - 11:53:04 PM
Totally chaotic yet somehow it all binds together and makes complete and total sense, unlike life for example! Great choice of sounds that are masterfully pieced together. Excellent production as well. Man I heard and saw through my ears a menagerie of all sorts of things! ;-P Kudos on a fine composition.

excellent work &mdash 09/02/07 - 01:38:20 AM
it's like what NIN would sould like if trent had the balls to go all the way.

[ Reply to This ]
!!!!!!!! &mdash 09/16/07 - 11:23:55 AM
classic nutz.

gritty, but with a different feel. while some other, older, trax of yours give me feelings of urbanity ala downtown detroit (i can feel the gravel beneath my feet as i listen) this track takes me to a completely computer world. that scratchy grit is replaced with a zinging, numbing electricity.

this is also expansive in a ridiculously fantastic way. this deserves to be part of a soundtrack.

excellent work my old friend.
