Tasty little treat! Interesting bass part and placement, and I love the filtering on the perc parts. Is the frequency range being squeezed or is it just me being influenced by the painting?

First- while that IS one of the paintings that attracted me most (as it appeals to the science nerd in me...) it was for that very reason that I decided to pass on it (I just did "Bose-Einstien Condensate") Thought it best if I were to change up on the thematics a bit :oops: :D
soo.... I'm VERY glad you chose this one, runny!
Second- I've noticed over the past months that your compositions are steadily becoming more and more compelling while at the same time you seem to have stripped away many layers. I don't know if this is a completely conscious effort on your part, but I realllllly love the results. In my drinking days, I had a thing for single malt scotch. I drank it on ice for years until someone had the nerve to encourage me to try it 50/50 with water. Completely changed the way I perceived it. Opened up the flavors and I could actually taste differnt notes in the different scotchs. No...it did NOT help me stop drinking, but it did show me the value of "elbow room" ;)
Without some elbow room folks like me would not notice some of the beautiful stuff going on in pieces like this one. the insanely cool bass part sounds like it is in the house next door, the rhythm timbres? amazing.
Don't get me wrong- I LOVE me some runagate tunes from your "maximum statistical density" period, but I am sooo enjoying your new direction ()... but seriously- I am lovin' this stuff, runny.

Wow runny !
This is great ! You really pushed the project forward and it seems you dig my paintings completely and i appreciate this very much :)
Jazzyspoon did an icebreaker for this painting also, and his track is cool too (you can hear it in my thread, I did a list of all tracks), but your tune conveys the cold and loneliness and isolation really pure !
:tu:

Come on ... play some more :D

Cool. It was made in, and for, headphones and never mixed on my speakers, purposefully.

Some more!? Ok, possibly but I work 11 hours today... maybe on Tuesday ;)
I'm already so, so sleep deprived and I have to get up in 4 hours... ugh.

Dont hurry ;-)
There's enough time yet for the project and take ya time !
I know what ya mean ... I renovate house at the moment and I am tired also and that's not the best inspiration :)

And just in case you're grabbed by another painting ... 2 tracks are really great yet ... what else can I ask for ? ;-)

Have a good one

I was reading Science Daily about astrophysics when I read this.
Wow, I'm awake and alert! Been a couple days!

Oddly, though I've largely stopped with the FSUery compositions and it is intentional there's still some, err, rather violently odd things about this. The mix, the dynamics... it's easy to sound good using Erratic2.

It has been very, very, very hard for me to be even more restrained making pop music alone in my bedroon.[/quote]

"elbow room" - - - nice advice. :D

Ah, well, this sort of thing is most avowedly not for most ears. I think it's probably biological - the amount of change per unit time we prefer. There's probably some reason dumbshits all love 130 bpm repetitiveness and stoners 80 bmp grooves.

And the timbres of the percussion you can blame on 1 part runagate, 2 parts erratic2 and 7 parts justin/3am samples loaded into the drum machine!

I am indeed playing some tricks in there. It's "psychoacoustic" though, based on soundstaging and entirely intentional.

I gotta remember to bump these damned things when people are actually around. ;)

funny you should put it in those terms: I've been fascinated by perception from way back. It's the main thing that led me to the under utilized psych degree I got way back in the 80's, actually. While ALL perception has been interesting to me, it's of course the perception of sounds/music that has always been a treat to me.
The thing is- as you pointed out, there is sometimes at least a general difference in personality types who have dispositions toward certain music styles/tempos, etc...I think that there *could be* a biological factor to it as well

While it's not an absolute "one to one" parallel, (and I'm certainly willing to concede it's "a reach"...)-- observation:
recently, I've been doing a lot of listening to and recording of bird song... and it has occurred to me that there may be a "time perception" component related to this. I'm probably out of my mind and of course I have no wherewithal to be able to prove or disprove anything on this:
the metabolisms of some song birds are very high. They have very fast heart beats...and mostly shorter life spans. They're actually "living faster" than us as humans. We preceive their songs to be incredibly intricate. Often, our ears cannot discern them in realtime the way the are actually sung.
I mean, if you listen to the veery's song at half speed vs realtime speed that is more than apparent that there is "more to it than meets the ear". And even for the songs that are less intricate, it is not until they're slowed down that one is able to fully appreciate their complexities.
It's just a thought...and probably a crazy one at that... could it be that since they are in essence living faster than we are, they may not actually preceive their song as being complex at all? simply put- maybe there is something mor to the relation between metabolic rate and perceptions?
In any case- it's probably true that the way humans hear birdsong is different than the way that birds hear it... so it stands that there is a good arguement that within humans, there are folks who have certain 'perceptual propensities' that other humans may not possess

(ie- like ya said- yer wired to be able to appreciate music at a higher "density" than some of us ;))

a lot of ramble? yeah... but what the hell. I know I'm a nerd :P

I love 0-30BPM with long LONG, low tones. Because I'm 173 years old, and mentally REALLY slow on the uptake. But I loved this anyway.
