Mysterious, creepy and comprising great sounds all the way through. A melancholy melody and those sounds enhance the atmosphere. Gonna check this out at high volume in the morning.

Great track

You've got your own style with an intriguing vibe. Lots of interesting organic sounds which are given plenty of space to breathe. I like it but am wondering if chord changes are allowed in Polyslaxland.

It seems like this piece and "Hunger Battle Birds" are harmonically static. Not necessarily a bad thing but I get a little antsy listening to them.

I love the beat/percussion on this one

Thanks very much for the feedback guys!

FrantzM - yes, in general polyslaxland isn't a comforting place for listeners who crave harmonic change. I work only by ear on keys, so it tends toward simple... once in a while I'll have a breakthrough moment.

Thanks for checking it out!

The kingdom of polyslaxland doesn't have to live under martial monochord law forever. If some day you want to dabble with a harmonic revolution, here's an experiment to try. Grab the MIDI data for every 2 or 4 bars and transpose it by an interval in your sequencer. This is not the "correct" way to do a chord change but for your sparse melodies it should hardly matter. It could add another dimension to your music.

Thanks for the tip... but I generally stick with what I enjoy doing, and I'm in a simpler period at the moment. I've got quite a few tracks online... probably in the hundreds I'm guessing... at SoundCloud and my own site where you can hear some of the different flavours I go for, if you're interested.

cool mix of sounds on this one...

and, as usual, "simply" immaculate production!

Something of a dark fairy tale feeling to this one. Goes nicely with the wind hurling itself at the windows here. Thanks, polyslax.
