What a rollercoaster of sound.

This is jaw-dropping.

This would be epic live ina brutalist concrete venue with lots of candles.

Sound new to me smile I really like the voices and reverse effects, and spoilers

i love those pitch-bendy chords and the glittery popping synth staccato all dancing lightly around all these heavy distortion explosions, everything given the perfect touch complementing each other beautifully in this space heart

This thing is FULL. I like the part with the sub most. But then the distorted awesomeness hits again. So many layers.

Great track! So many pockets of interest and energy - Your sounds always work so well together!

Always hot!

Excellent in every way

I just love everything about this. Great mix and use of the stereo space. Very inspiring, thank you! heart

so many nice pitchshifts and bendings and glitches. I consider this as very delicious. very well done.

Wow those accents from 0:50 onwards. This is alien music. Purple alien elephants stomping on a distant planet. And this low hum at the same time, subtle but adds a lot of character.

This track was a fantastic journey!


Oops sorry about that

lovely! creative and interesting. I like how varied your music is. big up


this is so cool - loving all the textures

Reminiscent of some amon tobin tracks. I really enjoyed this one heart heart heart

Hopefully not too bumpy of a ride, used to love roller coasters as a kid and last time I got on one felt all my organs were rearranged.

Crazy kind of you -- I'm trying some new things and I think there's a lot of stuff to work out for me, super grateful for WB as a forcing function, but insecure about stuff all the same.

I'm down w/ brutalist architecture for sure. Would love to play a gig in a cave.

I wrote some nonsense about how much I want to change things, but nobody cares: thank you is what needs to be written here.

Native Instruments Playbox makes the layering bit easy (it's such a cheater-cheater tool!)

Thank you, friend -- need to catch up on your last two. Delicious is an awesome word.

Alien music is a wonderful concept. Before the second half is over, Imma make an alien music beat.

Thank you -- found your Bandcamp last week, and also learned I can look up past years for people on here also, so I have a lot of your tunes to peep. heart

It is a bit, but mostly in the gentle parts somehow

Yeah, agree with you on this, this one could use TLC in every section, but WB be all W, and Ws have been “eventful” … Thanks for critique, very very welcome on this side of the screen!

oh no (blushing) i've been learning a lot - it is all over the place experimental - all of the stuff on my bandcamp is from the work i've been doing here on WB - some of the songs have more processing or a few new parts added...

I care! (Just a bit bogged down as of late... always interested in hearing what you write/think/feel... you're my all-time favorite here on WB... hopefully later in the year i'll brave discord more, would love to connect perhaps collab if you're down, if not, totally fine, just want you to know i care and have been thinking of it.) Much Love(and also apologies, if in text, we as people can't always resonate completely as the people we are... will keep trying our best, that's all we can do). heart

Aw, my bad -- I had an "oh no" moment earlier when WBer named "???" (insanely good melodic writing) found my old soundcloud w/ work from like 2001-2005 on it... I was just excited to hear your EP is what I meant to communicate.

Deeply touching note, sending love back and will be down to collab 100% -- I tried to send you an email via WB link this morning (zero pressure to respond, but peep your spam folder, maybe?). heart

This really felt(ha) 360° around my head.  Worked really well when I listened to it loudly!

YES PLEASE YES

A heap of interesting ideas in here to lead you through the track.  My fave part believe it or not is the almost cheesy tom fills.   Just ties in all the other sounds that are flying everywhere.  Definitely some cool sounds.

ah yeah, great buildup. when that downsampled bell thing came in with the triplets, got my head nodding
love those burial-esque rumbles
a blanket of bass respite from spangles of beautiful floral horror in the sky
felt piano outro as it burns to ashes is lovely as well

Whoa, I really felt this track - like, emotionally. I loved the use of panning and I especially loved the end. Loved it!

The beats are so big. Great reverse verb effects. Faved and saved!!

i love the big freaky noises combined with the slightly delicate vocals, it's a cool contrast! sorry I haven't been commenting back much, I have a hard time finding the time to listen to everyone's stuff, and I'm not always logged in when I do, so I end up losing track of stuff
