A very cool noise piece.  There are some seriously gnarly sounds in there, especially towards the beginning.  I feel like it kind of becomes oddly soothing as it goes along.  It definitely fits the theme of a big blow-up followed by relative calm, although always with the hint of tension.

Well, another great piece of music by orangedrink!

Favorite tune in this week!

this is really good, would like to hear you do more of this type of stuff and push it further. mindbending soundscapes. almost would like to hear it with super crazy beats over it as a remix or repurpose this idea into that. definitely stands alone though, nice development over the track length and it's not too long.

Great track, some absolutely fantastic sounds in here. The unplugging of the guitar at the end is great!

Sad story...
How did you prepared the guitar specifically ?
I find it a little mid-centered also but I like it as is. Have you tried to split your signal through different buses  and give each one a different color and frequency range?

I enjoy listening to this. You are doing magic things with your guitar. There is your bloody valentine in the air...

This isn't my thing, but I like it anyway.  Very powerful.

Somehow this song really challenged me in different ways. I have to keep listening to this without quite knowing exactly what I like about this song. I somehow think it may be the fact that there is a lot happening without much happening.

Thank you!  I'm glad you felt like the piece fit the story.  Feels great to have that validated!

Wow, thank you so much Brother Naiky!

Wow, that is a wild idea, prepared guitar + insane beats.  I will have to either remix this or try a different track.  Thanks for the feedback on the track length.  You are my abstract soundscape sensei! *bows with palm over fist*

Woo!  Thanks for listening!

I can't remember for this exact piece, as this was culled from a 3 hour session of experimenting.  But at one point I had tinfoil threaded through the guitar strings, and a drum stick between the strings and the fretboard, creating a really high pitched tension.  I know I had a pair of pliers that I was drumming the strings with, so I think that's the fast repetitive metal sound in the intro.  I'm really new to busses/send/receive so I've never thought of that ever before!  That is a great idea and I will have to figure out how to do that one day!

Thanks!  Glad you found it enjoyable and not annoying!  I feel like abstract sound can be a tough sell on audiences.

This really means a lot to me.  I take it as a great accomplishment that the power of the music transcended your tastes and preferences, if not for a moment.  Thank you so much for listening as always, Edmund!

Wow.  Humbling words.  *bows head*

Excellent piece.  I think the concept was well executed.  Nice work.  For constructive criticism, I would use more of the stereo field to help with definition as I find the separate guitar tones are for most part, tonally different. 

More of this style please.

Cool way to describe it!

What are all these pictures from, they freak me out!

Thank you so much.  That is a great idea, I will have to rearange my setup next time.  For this recording everything was daisy-chained into one channel.  Thanks!!

:-D
