Woah, I was walking home yesterday and saw this huge primitive reptile tearing apart North London. I took out my aural vacuum cleaner and sucked its' essence into my holding tank, therefore saving the stale English empire.

Unfortunately I have no photographs, but I do have a recording of it:

Nice beat in the opening section.
I'm not a big fan of the beat that kicks in later, though. But the overall energy and level of distortion is great. I like how it ends.

You discovered the guitar track while cooking dinner? Was it in the fridge? Hidden behind the milk?

Regardless of the outcome of this track, I don't think you should have saved the English empire.

I'm eating nearly expired (and nearly free) vegetable samosas. I asked for the ones with their insides pouring out as this indicated more filling.
I also got two pain aux chocolats similarly priced.

The guitar track was lurking somewhere between the boiling pasta and the cooked meat. It only cost me two blisters, but was a worthwhile purchase.

Funny you like the first beat, I much prefer the second.
heheh

I am most happy with the modulations towards the end as well.
Why the hell would "towards" not be in the dictionary?

Thanks for listening. I'm really bored and your reply coupled with my 'new' food makes me very happy.

Last night I heard someone talk about a performance that sounded pretty brilliant. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the artist. I could find out. The piece was called something like "Piece for people in a room with four speakers". The artist was in a corner in the back of the room, working her laptop, with people facing in the opposite direction, toward the speakers. There was also a person standing in the back listening to her walkman with headphones, which as it turns out was actually part of the piece. The headphones were the two other speakers referred to in the title. The way the two main speakers, headphones and audience were positioned, you could actually hear some scratchy sounds coming from the headphones which were integrated into the music. Apparently it was quite brilliant. I love that sort of thing.

That sounds really cool.

A friend of mine went to an instillation here, and I definatly want to rip this idea off once we're all up and running.

There's an all black room, walls relativity close together.
THere's no light whatsoever, you cannot see your hand in front of your face.
There's a variety of speakers emitting lots of sub frequency sounds.

Though you cannot see the walls, you can hear them and you know exactly where other people stand only by hearing the reflections off their bodies.

The A-string is only called the A-string because it's tuned to A when played open. It still has the same notes as all the other strings, so yes, it's possibly not to play in the key of A on the A string.

I am too lazy to download the track... I am too lazy to do anything. I only just got up.

DUDE!
There's something different about this song that turned me off at first. I think it was the lost of the lingering sound... but then it got all Venetian Snares on me and I thought, "Fuck! This kicks ass!"
I think it was the boldness of the track that turned me off initially. Only because I don't expect that from you.

I love both drum tracks equally, but the first you've used something similar before, no? I also like the siren-like sound. And you do like that bell....

And, for the record, I believe you are in the key of A. A minor...I think.

By the way, is it finished? It feels like it could be longer... The ending is rather abrupt.

Um.. it's finished only because I'm moving on to new things.

It has no pads, I know. I'm trying to explore more territory.

Venetian Snares? Nah. I don't use enough variety of samples.

Boldness? No, I'm just getting into distortion.

The track is certainly in A Minor, the guitar is questionable. But as you did not raise any qualms I'm assuming it works (even if it doesn't technically).
