Good day !
Something momentous has occurred - I have finally finished a new track

Doesn't happen often, so I'd appreciate people's thoughts.

This is in my usual style, so if you like my other output, this should appeal - it's an ambient, melodic, slightly glitchy piece of electronica that's called The Arms of NGC1973.
No surprises in my using large doses of Reaktor

and a bunch of broken beats.
It's over at the Auditorium, here>>>

nice production. I would have preferred the beats to develop into something a bit fatter and crunchier. I often find there's something oriental about your melodies, although I've no idea what I'm talking about.

Mmm...oriental ?

I've had that thought too, strangely enough. Really have no idea where that influence would be coming from, seeing as I listen to Black/Death metal pretty much exclusively when not writing music like this...

Re the beats, I wanted to keep them tamed on this track as it's more of an "ambient" affair.

Glad that you liked it and thanks for the listen

May be due to the happy somewhat adventurous melodies and especially the high pitch synth. And I agree, nice production.

I like it.

"Adventurous melodies" eh ?
I'll take that as a compliment !
Pleased to hear that you like it.

Another great building track, Ian. As usual, the percussion is wonderful - love the zaps and blips. Great space all around the track. Some excellent breaks in the track retain interest. Quite how that drum loop fits in at 4:04 is a mystery, but it does

Did anything ever come of your contact to get this stuff released?

I like the atmosphere created by the lead synth and it`s reverb.
Have always like that lead sound...what synth and preset are you using for that?

Like the low tone zaps in the precussion also.
The lead sound is reminisant of old Tomita fm synthesis.
The slight slow vibrato pitch flange on a koto like waveform seems to also give it that asian sound.
