Wow Matt! This is a very strong and diverse set of tracks.
Amalgum - Nice piece. I liked the contemplative mood.
Threshold - Amazing! I agree with Tim. It would work well on the soundtrack for a period horror film. It ends a little abruptly.
Chutney - Great groove! It's as if you successfully transposed world music onto digital instruments.

Way cool, Matt.
That beat that comes in half-way through Chutney made me go "whuuuuuut!" I don't think I've heard much at that pace from you. Sounds great.
Amalgum sounds like you are having fun with your Octatrack.
Thanks for sharing!

amalgum showcases your remarkable ability to coalesce a seemingly random grouping of notes into
cohesive phrasing that only gradually reveals its timing ...
the tonality of the piano is haunting ...

internet has died at my place so has taken a while to listen to just the one - threshold. But what a great track - amazing sound and perfectly suited to the playing and composition. excellent.

Interesting. It's (what sounds like) time-stretching artifacts in the drum sounds I'm referring to. It sounds just like what happens when you slow down (or pitch up) drums on the OT. I guess you could get similar results with anything that has a lo-fi time-stretch mode. Or maybe my ears are just failing me, lol.polyslax wrote:Justin - No OT in here my friend... Synplant does a good imitation though.
Some great stuff here, in any case.

Ok, gotcha, I thought you were talking about the stuttery synths.justin3am wrote:Interesting. It's (what sounds like) time-stretching artifacts in the drum sounds I'm referring to.

Yes, plenty of stretchy and shifty shenanigans going on in here with Sound Hack's PVOC Kit.

I love the Rhodes sound in Chutney. It sent me into a pickle. I really enjoyed the drums in the second half. Some great synthy sounds on here too. I thought this track had much more impact after turning the volume right up.
Pass the poppadoms
Good work

Excellent use of understated piano again on Amalgum. The other odd sounds fit beautifully, just before I head off to bed. Feeling relaxed... Ahhh
