Hi guys here i leave a track.

The name 'Beyond the Printing Header' is a kind of technological koan zen.
Say it is a phase appearing without sense but with a deeper sense...

It has very complex rhythms and a strong moog like bass, but not at the same time!

Thanks, and feedback is welcome!

This had a nice suspenseful atmosphere, whilst remaining firmly ambient in nature. I liked the unsettling harmonic conflicts between the different instruments, which increased my unease. Nice glitch too. It's funny, but last night I was listening to another of your pieces with a printer in the title.

Good work

well that was... agitating.

i love the sparseness of it. the sounds themselves are full but the space between them is almost haunting.

the glitched out rhythms are a bit of a tease, and i like how the track seems to fade out and then pop right back in.

just enough variety to keep me interested the whole way through, while at the same time strongly emphasizing the theme established from the very onset of the track.

cool stuff!

It sounds like it was written by a mainframe computer in a bad mood. Odd, cold, mechanized, and quite original. It is interesting to see what you come up with.

That was one or my first ambient tracks, but not exactly the first.
Because it was a project of ambient track I wanted to use rhythms in my track but not too strong, very subtle and glitchy rhythms.
And for recreating the suspenseful atmosphere i used big breaks, I have taked care of the silence because is so important like the sound.
you have hear other track with printer in the title? I suppose is the track 'Printer & the Rain' that was one of my first tracks that I have decided upload in SC, so thanks to for exploring more tracks

Thanks!

Because I was not using a good reference monitors I was extremely carefull with the sounds and its position in the frecuency spectrum. So some sounds you can hear are really cuted with a low or hi pass.

It wasn't easy get the sensation of fade out and pop rigth back, I ended the rhythms a little befeore the end of the time, clearly working in this type of rhythms is a thing that I like a lot.

Thanks a lot

I try to be original, and the future albums will be more original too.
I know that originality in music is truly dangerous, but I couldn't resist

Cheers!
