This very cool -
I like the minimal 808 rhythm - I have the analog machine downstairs. You take this to some pretty interesting places - the overall atmosphere is really evocative and seductive. The ebow guitar floats in perfectly and the transition to circuit dialog synth is right on. I can't find a thing to criticize here. Great track.

Exploring through Music and Space
Very nice and airy. Felt like I was floating through space.

As for playing in unfamiliar territories I find the best way is to listen to the piece a few times until a melodic theme comes to mind than start exploring it on the guitar. Don't think about scales or the tonic or anything else, at least at first, just try to translate what your musical mind is trying to say. Before you know it, your comfortable in the new surroundings and the expression can start to fly!

I don't usually try promoting my own songs in others threads but the above approach is what I did on this song Raggier Muffins which was a collaboration with Dreadmon, our resident Dulcimer guru. I still don't what key it is in!

How about gin and tonic?
Lol! I'm just learning dub myself so I can't add anything constructive except my first suggestion. As far as my ears are concerned, this is superb!
