quite a dashed effort again i'm afraid. quite like the rhythmic interplay of the loops.  generally in 5/4 but the piano sample over the top in 6/8 gives it a bit of a lopsided feel. been playing with kasio m4l instrument again, need to get away from it a bit, i rely on it too much! enjoying the magnetic and diffuse m4l effects too... the bass synth is hammering thirds as well which always reminds me of thin lizzy... upon listening, one of the synths is way too loud but nevermind.

Man, nobody can get enough of Kasio wink

Magnetic and Diffuse are lovely, too, but somewhat too CPU hungry in my machine. Are you having the same problem?

Beautiful track. The polyrhythmic base gives it a complete different feeling from other electronic stuff.

Great work

still though... this has a really nice and warm feel to it! i liked it.

@laguna thanks for your kind words!

i'm not finding magnetic and diffuse to be too cpu hungry.  however, it is a little bit buggy for me.  i have to drag and drop the preset from the browser into the track manually.  double clicking doesn't always engage it.  or it will work second time i insert it.  lovely plugs mind; think it will take a fair bit of tweaking to get them subtle!

Pretty. I should check this M4L devices out.

Great piece. Faved.

A lot of the M$L devices are buggy (even the for-pay ones)-- I feel a bit triumphant when I get them to work properly :-)

thanks! i'm not knocking magnetic and diffuse in the slightest, i want to point that out! they've been present on my tracks for the past few weeks.  i have holiday coming up soon so really want to expand and experiment with them.  i think they have more potential than their 'dubby' adverts suggest...

Very warm and home-y. I saw the All Rights Reserved but would you be OK with me messing around with this and maybe singing some over it? Might sound nice...

@colourfulgrey totally! that'd be awesome! all i ask is that you drop me a copy of the file if you come up with anything you like smile

Sweet, thanks! Could I use it for my submission next week? I mean - would YOU be OK with that? I dunno about the rules here and all...

Check with the rules but it's cool with me. Would you want me to drop you a .wav copy of the track?
