it's been a little too long since I had a little self-indulgent reverb noise jam, hasn't it?
brought to you by the letter m, the number 8, and a theme called "shark shit".

this was wild aka noisy aka random aka hilarious
this is making me feel like my computer is crashing
i'm halfway through - WILL I MAKE IT TO THE END?
I like the last minute when the reverb comes to take it all away into the ocean. And then the remaining part burns in the upper part of the atmosphere.
Then the sound of the waves on the shore in almost silence.
this be sharkshitastic!
LOL thank you. that funky shark is really gettin' down to this noise!

this is all even truer than you might think! for example, I managed to make the oscilloscopes glitch out and give up on drawing the second half of their waves. my major accomplishment for the day for sure.

lolol I wouldn't have blamed you if you didn't XD

that was my favorite part too and you described it perfectly!
for me, it weirdly make me crave a really shitty pour of lager so I could suck that big bouffant of foam off the top. I don't know what kind of weirdo would crave something like that, but intentionally listening to noise does strange things to the human mind.
I wrote a bunch of stuff and decided to send you feedback separately. Important: the thing's dope, I listened to it more times than you would guess, not counting download / starting at the spectrogram as a "score"-like....

oh wow, thank you!!! you are too kind 
you probably understand this thing better than I do at this point!
from my perspective it is a heapin' helpin' of about nine m8 tricks, most of which are really just various species of random (over the last ~3 years, SuperCollider has heartily enabled my worst habits to randomize as many parameters as possible). in retrospect I think the primary compulsion was working in an aesthetic/structural space that would both transcend and cohere with the droning of the engines of the plane I was on when I put together most of it, hehe

I hope you're the `license` in the Dirtywave discord, 'cuz if not there's someone else called license who just got a wall of text and a picture of your tune's spectrum. The most I admire about this is that since tones are so far apart temporally, you can't rely on memory to establish pitch language: even if the fundamentals were all C-major scale, wouldn't matter with these register shifts. And that's dope af, when the construction itself is architecturally sound enough in its timbre contrasts to drive the whole thing. Think of it as a reversal of what we associate with "good melodic writing:" pitch is so important that you can change the timbre (and register) and it still retains its function. Here, pitch is the opposite of important (but register and timbre is) so by extension this works regardless of pitch. And a parallel to good writing is still good writing.
THAT EXPLOSION!!!! That was awesome - especially the glitch sounds afterwards, like little fires sizzling out.

thank you for hitting me up. I hope to chat more 
woah
