..............................................................
Finally finished is the long form electronic "symphony" I have been working on since the beginning of the month.
I feel this is a pretty good idea of the "mahlerian electronica" that i have been struggling to produce. Although the sounds are created via computer synthesis techniques, the emotions expressed vary widely as the work progresses.

"Lying in a Field Face Down" evolves quite slowly at first with just layered sine waves and heavily reverbed percussion but soon the sound takes to an almost claustraphobic intensity. This ebb and flow of dynamics/timbre characterizes the work.
I wanted to forego a simple binary structure, and instead used seemingly isolated sonic ideas that repeat and vary throughout to give the music an organic, almost liquid form.
Stay with it until the 18 minute mark and the last four minutes will melt your nuerotransmitters. I suggest listening to this LOUD.

what about a .mp3 file Question I think you'd get more chances of people listening to your "mahlerian electronica" thing.

And my neighbour's as well Laughing

Still, I liked the first 3/4 of the piece best, I liked that very much in fact. With its constant return to the soft simple tones it was quite dramatic IMO. I'll relisten later to see if maybe I was wrong in appreciating the last bit less.

The aiff didn't work to well here for streaming BTW. It got chopped up, but I saved the aif one for the relisten.

thanks for listening!
...too bad about the streaming issue,,,,,,i wondered about the last 1/4 seeming too long and getting detached from all that came before. I felt that a piece that had been going on for 18 minutes need an extreme "finale" though. Very Happy

I liked this a lot. The end is a bit too intense for me right now, but that might mostly have to do with the volume being pretty intense all the way.
Did you use some kind of brickwall limiter in order to get it this loud?

thanks electro, i appreciate you taking some time out to listen, I realize this a rather long piece.
For the end I did use a compressor....in terms of it being a brickwall compressor, i can't say. In fact it is the generic compressor that comes with DP 4.61, albeit multi band, which is nice. I have been listening to LOTS of Merzbow recently which can account for the extremity that constitutes the last four minutes.
Cheers,
