I'm still chugging along, mostly thanks to having a bunch of stuff that is easy to jam with—I can just submit a quick improvised thing if I'm not feeling up to writing a full piece. Having said that, I think I may end up getting to the point that I did in 2014, where I just fall over because I keep just making a bunch of quick and loose tracks.. nothing wrong with that, but I hope to get back into making some prog stuff soon, which I don't want to show anyone until I can release it. Perhaps I'll just upload edited versions of some early jams for those prog pieces.
Also, I'm moving house in a few weeks, so the quality of my work may wane a little in that time 
Nope, it actually says "abyssism" in a super abstract typeface I designed.
My track for this week (ie. just uploaded) is part of this new EP I just released for my new project:

My aim is to release as many of these EPs as I can, and then possibly re-purpose selected tracks into a more polished release.

m8 stop stealing my tricks
It's been pretty easy for me so far. I think the next few weeks will be dedicated to OP-1 jams; it's just so easy to get something cool going!
I made an experimental metal album in a month a few years ago; in fact I went one step further and made a track every day. It's funny because you can really hear the quality slip where I couldn't be bothered, especially towards the end. Still, it's a pretty ridiculous listen.

Any other instrumental or instrumental based composers/musicians/producers/sound artists around?
I play guitar, mostly, and have a small amount of skill on piano (nothing special). I've tried drums before but never got beyond post-rock drumming (ie. lazy) or just smashing out a beat on some drum pads.. I'd love to learn drums properly though.
BTW, do you busk in Carlton? I was walking through Carlton lastnight and saw someone who looked like you playing double bass, but wasn't sure.
I came across a discussion I had on facebook in 2014 about samples for WB entries, regarding the Seinfeld music.
Considering the Seinfeld theme almost exclusively uses sounds from the Alesis HR-16B and Korg M1, would it count as copyright infringement if I used the same sound set (ie. if I actually used Korg M01D and a HR-16B), but with my own melodic content?
hah yeah, a space/cosmic theme is something that I have to try hard *not* to adhere to 
I'd love to try something similar to this 'battle' I missed out on over at the OP-1 forum:

yeah the themes were a lot of fun last time!

Thanks in advance!
If you go to your profile and click the link for your latest track, you can edit the text in there.
"music you hasn't listened to"? sounds legit
Yeah same, lately I've been getting an idea for what I want to do before I get a chance to put it into a pattern on a machine or software.
Usually once I've got it down it evolves quite heavily, especially with my current setup which caters pretty well to evolving structures. As a result, most of my recent tracks have been edited down from a longer session dedicated to building the patterns and the natural progress that comes from happy accidents. I'm hoping that through practice, I can get these sessions down to short enough durations to allow me to basically take my machines out to a gig and play a set with minimal pre-programmed material. Currently I'm averaging 40–60 minutes of raw material per track, so I've clearly got a long way to go before I can crank out decent tracks on the fly!
Yeah, I'm hoping my focus for this year can be long-form jams with the occasional prog song thrown in. I'm also playing around with the idea of extreme repetition as a deliberate stylistic choice; so much so that I may actually have to disclose that when uploading tracks, for fear of people commenting saying "this is too repetitive" when it is the main focus of the track

You should be able to upload tomorrow, first day doesn't count.
no probs, thanks! I forgot about the "listen today, upload tomorrow" thing

yeah the upload link still doesn't go anywhere either
