A lot of amazing textures at work here and those stabs are chilling - if Sharpie markers were sentient and could communicate this is what their language would sound like. well done!
Yeah those squeaky sounds are really cool! Embraced by cutie crawlies!
you have a special skill for making squeaky stuff sound funky. somewhere between Richard Devine and Q-Bert. also, I am not a theory expert but I love love love whatever you call those chords at 1:09.
This is awesome, the percussion and those stabs together makes for a quite intense mood!

Thanks for listening!

Crazy textures. It's like ASMR with attitude
"ASMR with attitude" is an inspiring and evocative word combination, writing it down for future WB-inspiration, thanks!

Ear candy.
Thanks! (Insert joke about nutritional value here.) After seeing your work and Wangus' master's thesis this week am very interested in exploring that side of things -- brain candy!

I'm not even sure how to extrapolate from a modular nerd to a scratch virtuoso, but I'm taking the compliment. Get ready to be disappointed by the "chords" -- I peeped the spectroscope and it's mostly just those notes w/ some octaves, just an awesome damn sound from Felt Instruments.

Man, sometimes you need to hear the track through someone else's ears, because "cutie crawlies" is not what I heard until you said it. I'm genuinely interested in being playful in spite of pushing some things to extremes, so I am every color of pleased by cutie crawlies response to this -- similar to your comment on the cuteness of a wobbling sound that I uploaded to the matey that made me want to reconsider that patch in a different setting. Long-winded way to say thanks, but really sincerely appreciate your words.

An old friend of mine had a remarkable piece of music where in the middle of a rather noisy / busy section he utilized the sound of drawing / sketching / writing (rather violently, with some distortion), and I remember thinking "that's damn brilliant" because of all the articulation / kinetic shapes that were so viscerally easy to visualize just from the sound of the writing alone. Your sharpie comment made me think back to that, and "sentient sharpie language" is one hell of a concept.

Squeaky and crawly
Crawly sounds like a genre of music I'd be into. Thanks for listening!
the rhythmic timing is so satisfying. favorite part is the "tape stop" that ends a sound. this piece is kind of scary to me.
felt instruments look/sound amazing. never heard of them before and checked out their site.

Oh man, thanks for liking the irregularity of it! Tape stop is a free plugin from the delightful folks at WavesFactory that I was using in the older track I was hoping to finish last week, but only got to migrating it to the M8 and didn't feel like rushing it so I focused on this instead.

Oh this is awesome, crazy good sound design!
I am very grateful for your comment -- both for the kindness and because it led me to your music which is absolutely fantastic
Very interesting rhythms! When i tried listening on my phone (tsk) it felt like something in there was trying to hatch!

Oooh, I wonder if TikTok's phone-in-mouth listening would be fun for this one...

wack. I like squeak
Squeak likes you.
This is a beautiful collage of cute sounds. Love the vivid textures. There is a sound in here, that reminds me of a track I made 30 years ago, I called "lick the baloon". I will release it in the next weeks I think.
