HI Kenta! &mdash 09/07/08 - 11:58:59 AM
Thanks for the comment. You pretty much nailed it. It sucks to have created something with so much of yourself only to have it ripped away. I never even got to say Goodbye. :-) Maybe I'll be able to re-create this, but I can barely remember the settings I used and the soft synths I tweaked... [ Reply to This ]
Yep &mdash 09/06/08 - 12:31:44 PM
haha &mdash 09/07/08 - 12:03:56 PM
Karma, baby! And when did you become Repulsive Landlord? hahahaha... have I been gone THAT long?! [ Reply to This ]
Nice track &mdash 09/06/08 - 12:51:29 PM
Sorry to hear about the burglary.
Hopefully you will get back to a place someday where you can finish it

I believe in Karma. I may try to recreate this someday. It helped to get a bit of encouragement from my friends here. I hope you are well! [ Reply to This ]

this sounds excellent. Many lovely sounds here.
Sorry about all the misfortune. It gets better.

There is only one way to get even &mdash 09/06/08 - 01:32:45 PM
and that is to show them that stealing your computer cannot steal your spirit, creativity, and beautiful talent.
I have lost many things in life, stolen, broken, erased... and I feel so much for you... it is so hard to get up the energy and impetus to start the project over, and try to re-create what you have temporarily lost.
But I hope you know that I for one always enjoy *whatever* you share... it is always touching and personal, this song is no exception. It has that elegant MissChaos touch, and is worth re-building from the ashes of loss.
I am delighted to see you back here again, but am also very upset to hear about your loss. I hope everybody is OK, given the circumstances... ugh!
ttfn,

thanks Eduard &mdash 09/08/08 - 08:49:45 AM
I'd probably feel much better about this if I could, you know, cuss someone out or at least watch them try to log into that computer which was password-protected... :-) It's nice that it's gotten the Drak seal of approval... I think I will try to recreate this one but it won't be easy. I hardly remember the settings I used and instruments I chose. We'll see. Thanks again and Hi to the family from Ms. MIA.

What a treat &mdash 09/06/08 - 04:31:23 PM
I always enjoy knowing that you've posted another song, Stacy. I do love your compositions - they are full of sonic delights, rife with emotion, take twists and turns the listener doesn't see coming, and demonstrate depth and skill.
I hope you heal from this violation and return to composing as often as you can. You are bursting with talent, and your music will only get better and better. The world needs what you have to offer, Stacy. I hope you find time and desire to continue using and developing your formidable gifts. [ Reply to This ]
thanks &mdash 09/08/08 - 08:55:06 AM
Your words are huge. Really. Thank you for always being a source of encouragement and inspiration. [ Reply to This ]
same experience &mdash 09/06/08 - 05:21:22 PM
I had a burglar in my house a couple of years ago... Only he didn't touch my guitars... But I feel for you...
Your music is so cool. You have such timing and feeling. Very cool beats. And you make very cool pieces of art/graphics as well...
All the best:) [ Reply to This ]
Hey Thor &mdash 09/08/08 - 09:19:42 AM
Thanks! Glad your guitars were spared. :-) What's weird is that my synth and all my gear wasn't touched. Just the Macs. I guess our thief didn't know jack about "gear". ha! [ Reply to This ]
tragedy &mdash 09/06/08 - 05:32:57 PM
I've also suffered logic file loss lately (Grrr) but an entire MAC gone... I hope you recover.
It's too bad because I love this creation. Gonna listen again and again and again... [ Reply to This ]
Hey Caroline, &mdash 09/08/08 - 09:51:05 AM
Sorry to hear about YOUR file loss too! What is it with all these file losses and thefts?! I guess I had it coming since I haven't really had a music file tragedy in the 10+ years I've been doing this. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to trying to get active here again. Thanks as always. :-) [ Reply to This ]
transcendent.... &mdash 09/06/08 - 09:20:12 PM
Most of your work feels this way to me, so I'm very very glad you chose to post this and share it--despite the fact it is not 'finished.'
It is beautiful, even in its unfinished state (yes it is!)
Keep creating and keep transcending....you always do! ;) [ Reply to This ]
thanks Cat &mdash 09/08/08 - 10:09:16 AM
Very Sorry... &mdash 09/06/08 - 11:13:19 PM
that you have been violated. Often times, life isn't fair. At least you and your family are alive and safe. As for the lost music files, computer etc., those things can be replaced. Humans are a bit harder to re-create. I don't mean to minimise your anger and frustration Miss C, but worse things could have happened and I am very sorry for your loss. I am confident that with your amazing talents, you will be able to finish this track as well as many more. Thanks so much for sharing this partially finished song with us. You never cease to amaze me with your awesome tracks. I hope things get back to normal very very soon for you guys. Take good care! Peace!

Hi Richard! &mdash 09/08/08 - 04:03:44 PM
Thanks for the comfort. You're absolutely right and I totally agree. It just sucks especially hard because these songs are sometimes our "babies", you know? And they usually come from a place that's personal and heartfelt. But you are right and that's the kind of perspective I need. I miss all of you! [ Reply to This ]
DAMN! &mdash 09/06/08 - 11:27:23 PM
That sucks big time. This piece of music, however, very much does not. Good to hear you had most of your files backed up. Say hi to the family and I wish you a speedy recovery!!!

Hey Eric &mdash 09/09/08 - 09:33:48 AM
Thanks for the pat on the back. Say hi to the Crazies at your house too! We should have another twins-N-twins chat. That was fun! [ Reply to This ]
Have missed you... &mdash 09/06/08 - 11:29:35 PM
...and am very sorry about the burglary. I've experienced that and know how you feel.
Big drag about losing the tune. I never read the description 'till I hear the song. Was going to ask where you were selling it. I love it.
The core's still here and you can re-create (maybe add a dash of "I HATE EVERYTHING!!!!" in there, too). It's a wonderful piece...
[ Reply to This ]
I've missed you too! &mdash 09/09/08 - 09:41:11 AM
And you can expect the "I hate everything" song at some point. :-) I love that idea. It's like emo for adults. Wow, I'm totally humbled that you'd even think to buy this unfinished tune. Thanks for such wonderful encouragement. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the start of Fall! [ Reply to This ]
Yuuuuummmmyyyy! &mdash 09/06/08 - 11:53:00 PM
Great thought given to the timbre of the percussion instruments. Really nice blend of tones in the ambient and harmony voices. Terrific sense of space and depth. An emotional state captured in sound.
To quote a current quip from one of the political candidates: "Its not how often you get knocked down that matters, its how quickly you get back up." Be angry. Be really f*cking furious. Put it in music and then let it go. If you need some industrial guitar for the effort I've got your back! [ Reply to This ]
DUDE! &mdash 09/09/08 - 09:48:50 AM
I'm totally on it! Angry guitars... hell yes. You'd be the first person I'd ask. :-) Thanks for the encouragement. I may just take you up on that... [ Reply to This ]
Let us know if they catch em &mdash 09/07/08 - 11:59:54 AM
well send down the hardest macjams crew and beat em to death with a bag of cotton balls ..imagine that horrible death ..it take a whole day to die and they'd deserve it ! Thieves SUUUUUUCK ! Oh yeah cool sound bed ! [ Reply to This ]
Hahaha! &mdash 09/09/08 - 04:32:37 PM
Yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about. All except for the cotton ball part. I say we beat 'em with big ol' bulky Dell laptops since they stole not only my brand new iMac but also my trusty, been-there-through-it-all Powerbook. Ugh, I could just cry... [ Reply to This ]
Stolen &mdash 09/07/08 - 12:05:35 PM
Incredible sounds here. This has a total Ulrich Schnauss feel to me (hope you take that as a compliment!). So sorry about the theft, but I admire you for putting this out here, along with all your raw emotion. This is full and lush with a great beat underneath. And I love the space you've left in it, feels very wide open and able to breathe. A great piece - thanks again for sharing it with us! [ Reply to This ]
Shay! &mdash 09/09/08 - 04:36:42 PM
Oh my gawd, I LOVE Ulrich Schnauss so you totally just made my day. No. You made my month! Funny too because I had been listening to his new album a bunch when I was working on this song. Wow, thank you. You are too kind. [ Reply to This ]
Hi.... &mdash 09/07/08 - 02:59:56 PM
This is a great Miss C mix and sounds very good as it is presented here.
I'm sorry for your loss but you should bounce back into things, otherwise it's victory for the scum of the earth and we all miss your beautiful, well thought out and unique music.
Take care.

Thanks Paul &mdash 09/09/08 - 04:40:33 PM
Been awhile! I hope you're doing well!
Thanks for the encouragement. I've actually felt better about it after posting this. I hate to seem like such a pity party thrower, but I guess I just didn't have an outlet for that anger. I'm thinking I may do a really angry tune next... Thanks as always for your friendship and support. [ Reply to This ]
Ohhhh.... &mdash 09/07/08 - 09:20:58 PM
That story gets me pissed. And I was already less than my happy and smiling best...
And I really like this. I think one of the things that goes on for me with your stuff is that I like how you think, musically. You step off the beaten path without sounding like, 'Hey, here I go, I'm steppin' off the beaten path now, y'all...' I like how you use rhythm at slow tempos, and how a lot of slow harmony adds up to a sense of melody...
I don't have any sense of 'lack' about this apparently early and unfinished iteration, except, I guess, the ending...
Sorry to take so long to hear it. It's great to hear your music again, though.

Beautiful... &mdash 09/08/08 - 12:10:36 AM
sonorities and textures. Love the lo-fi beat, the gentle synths...very emotional, somber and wistful feeling. Another MC masterpiece. Thanks you for sharing this...indeed with music like this coming from you, recovery is only a matter of time.

Hey Graham &mdash 09/10/08 - 10:50:14 AM
I'll never understand &mdash 09/08/08 - 04:05:51 PM
why thieves take pieces of other people's lives and leave empty and open wounds in their place. I'm so sorry.
This is beautiful and even if it won't become exactly what it was it will still be phenomenal in its own right.
This child has the same mother and same creative breath.
Thanks for sharing.

So sorry &mdash 09/08/08 - 05:56:25 PM
that this happened to you. This pieces seems to have a feeling of calmness to it and of course much musical creativity and I hope you can glean alot from listening to this tune over and over and obtain a feeling of true distance from what happened !
Thanks for sharing this wonderful instrumental !

Theft is just the worst; I know it all too well........
It is deeply upsetting and unsettling, but........... time WILL give you your verve back, I promise.
Your song sounds very fine in it's near-completed state. I'm glad to have stopped in. [ Reply to This ]

to hear new chaos! as usual amazing stuff. keep them coming..

nice song. &mdash 09/10/08 - 03:25:24 AM
all the more moving from having been rescued, and truncated.
This song's something of a healer more than driven towards anger and agression. [ Reply to This ]
The track &mdash 09/10/08 - 03:38:41 PM
has a really lovely gentle vibe to it and I can hear how much work has gone into it.
Just remember that the talent is within you and not a machine or logic track.

Hang in there. &mdash 09/11/08 - 10:38:55 AM
I am very sorry to hear about your troubles. That is real shame. The track works pretty well as is except for the abrupt ending but I am sure that could be edited. Nice work on the synth and drum programming. If you still have the capability you should continue to produce your music. Perhaps channel that anger into a new song. [ Reply to This ]
Amazing Composition &mdash 09/11/08 - 05:56:57 PM
Wow, this is the type of music I've been planning to try out, but for some reason I always end up producing faster songs.
I totally feel for you and what you've gone through. This is one of my worst fears and I can not even imagine having someone steal my master files! I back up like crazy but that's only good if the backup drive can't be stolen.
I hope we will hear more from you someday! You got raw talent! [ Reply to This ]
cool &mdash 09/23/08 - 03:39:45 PM

while you run and get the DELL if you ever find the bum? I really like your stuff and this is great. No wise words about 'what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger'. Just a hope that you go on to complete this as you imagined it, though I like it as is. Love and best wishes from the Far East,
