Description:
Industrial Rhythm.

Me...live rhythm...modified loops of some sort. Drifting industrial and synth sounds. Maybe a bit moody. It came from thinking about Grand Central Station in NY, late at night...looking at an old photo I had taken...in another lifetime. an ominous, unpredictable sort of place. No matter how many times someone passes through that station, there is an uneasiness, an anticipation of both the known and the unknown, a sense of glory and dispair...depth on the edge. Awe mixed with fear mixed with beauty mixed with life, mixed with lust mixed with death. It is a place that attacks your senses, the air permiated with the smell of grease, electricity, sweat, blood, tears, sex, life, death...A giant cavern of emotion where every kind of person is, or has been through time joined with the sounds and rhythms of the trains, the ticking clocks, the clattering feet, the chattering voices, the screeching wheels...A place where amidst the densest crowds or emptiest spaces one can feel absolutely at once...alone, thrilled, terrified, intoxicated...alive.


Grand Central is the giant pumping heart of the city supplying the blood and oxygen of humanity through its veins.

I think I have the orig GB files if anybody is interested in doing something with this.

Nice moody sounds &mdash 05/09/05 - 01:03:00 AM
I can imagine this being used as a soundtrack piece to a
Michael Mann thriller.....I like the way the sounds build
throughout the piece.

I've spent a lot of time wandering about Grand Central...especially ominous
during the late hours of the night...or the wee wee hours of the morning.

Interesting &mdash 05/10/05 - 04:57:04 AM
Love the bass line and how it interacts with the
percussives. Lot of interesting noises and sounds- sort of
dark yet sort of not... if that makes any sense. Glad to see
you posting!

Visions... &mdash 05/10/05 - 01:55:54 PM
of an empty subway terminal with distorted shadows on the walls, a feeling of dread and foreboding is what comes to mind when I close my eyes and listen to this. Nice sound bed for some lyrics. Hmmmmm.

awesome production &mdash 05/10/05 - 07:49:26 PM
this song reminds me of a radiohead song. i can hear thom
yorke singing over this with some sort of computer-sounding
bit destruction distortion on it. there you go, ask radiohead
if they'll collab with you! i like the way new instruments are
constantly introduced to keep things interesting and new.

Sounds like something I'd listen to late at night... &mdash 05/11/05 - 12:03:41 PM
...and then get scared and have to turn it off.

Great creepy interesting ambience.

Heavy train &mdash 05/18/05 - 10:52:12 AM
I love trains and electronica, so this hit the spot.

Cool &mdash 05/24/05 - 02:17:02 AM
It's the theme music for some bad-ass character in an action
movie. Very cool. Great choice of textures. Unfortunately it
cuts off abruptly at the end.

Shit! &mdash 05/30/05 - 05:03:39 PM
I filled in a comment then voted before posting and lost it
all!

So, quickly this time:

Like it a lot - shame it ends abruptly - can't you finish it?

Would be a shame to add lyrics - strong as an
instrumental.

Made me think of a factory/laboratory.

ya...I fixed this, but couldn;t figure out how to replace this one with the new
one.
