I was after Pink Floyd meets Skillrex meet Lady Gaga meet Frank Sinatra kind of sound, but something went wrong somwhere. I blame facebook. Phosphor, Relectro, Absynth, Nitro, Mux VST, TH2, Time Freezer and RP delay were all unfortunate witnesses of this failure.

No offense, but sometimes it isn't that bad for something to go wrong.

Unless you were just pulling my leg, of course.

Repackage and re-classify. I thought parts of it sounded like the Sylvian/Czukay collabs. Other parts reminded me of Tangerine Dream with Tuvan vocals. Nicely recorded and good sound choices.

Good work

What "genre" would one use for this? I am doing a bunch of (generative) *ambient-SciFi* (ish) type stuff, and have mixed feelings about how to "classify" a lot of it.

Nah, I was pulling my hair. Over and out.

Yes, the sad necessity to tag and classify. It's so confusing.

Nicely done. Interesting collection of sounds placed beautifully in the mix and in time. Well done!

This is really cool. It makes me think of those old pioneering sci-fi scores like Forbidden Planet.

I would call it experimental. But that's not particularly helpful. In fact it's unhealthy. ZQ would have to take up pipe-smoking.

Although I use this tag sometimes, I think it degenerated beyond usability. I remember in mid 90's I was quite confused when a guy in college was giving me a speech on how experimental and avantgarde newest U2 album is. Today it appears, more than half of all electronic output is labeled experimental. Or maybe I have a twisted view on this.

Drug abuse is something that often comes up when someone hears my output. Yet, I was never into intoxication, I guess I must be a kind of Obelix type.

Genres are like pullovers. When they have been worn by many people, they lose their shape and importantly, their ability to function. They may even begin to smell a little

music like this doesn't need genres - it just is.

i really enjoyed this. a great atmosphere to ease me in to wakefulness on this damp tuesday morning.
