nice, what (vst/synth) are you using for the bass. really deep, just as dubstep needs to be.

sounds good, I love the perfectly outre-ized feel of it

Cheers

Well, you know how to press my buttons.

Nicely twisted sir.

p.s. I've used several lineman samples in my tracks over the last year or so. One notable event here:

The End Of Nature

at about 1:42

highly cinematic in scope. good choice of a track for this treatment, it has a sort of distant nostalgic feel that is well-suited to your brand of manipulation.

Eerie and with a slightly disembodied sadness. I like it. Thanks.

Wonderful

I think it's too much autopanning though. Maybe set static positions for some of the samples at least?

I like the rhythm a lot.

Would have been happy listening to more of that - great sounds!

I have no idea what the original song is, but this is a comforting track to listen to. Was this for the Ootray pop mashup? Very pleasant.

One of the best songs ever!

many thanks to those who subjected themselves to this little monkey, my first foray into (quasi-)dubstep. i've been letting it sit here and observing the responses for a few days, waiting to chime in.

CHIME!

1. i understand the "it's too short" comment; might even agree with it. the piece works (kinda sorta) as a miniature, but it might work even better as a full-length-ish track.

2. all the (non wichita lineman) sounds are modded mixes of free "ambient" samples that were included with a recent Computer Music magazine.

3. i chose to cover wichita lineman because i find it beautiful (especially this glen campbell arrangement) despite -- perhaps because of -- its being perilously close to über-sentimental camp/kitsch. so there's an element of ironic humor in the piece ... that i'm not sure came off?

the kitsch spook speaks loud & clear, not to worry.

I just think it's a great song. My guess is, a sincere love song really.

I hear you sangin thru the wire
I can hear you thru the whine

I've been there.
