I'm glad you could enjoy them. I may put up a few more here - over the next few days.

do you just do a lot of overdubs?... you call this "free ambient"

... kinda like "happy merzbow???... would you be willing to explain the "how"?...

If you forced me, 'Hell's Kitchen'-style, to come up with a recording for judgement in an hour, I believe I'd probably come up with something like this,... pack as much into three minutes as possible...

is it all organic, or is there synth too?

I'd like to hear you layer a few of these on top of one another... ever more complexity...I'm missing a melodic element on top...

forgive me,... now I'm going to ramble...

Xenakis really knew how to take these "random",... "jamming" aspects, and codify them numerically, basing them off of cosmic phenomena/physics,... whereas a "folk" musician (the "us") uses their innate, intuitive, "human" number system to achieve... oy... hard to explain... the difference between the "rigid" number system and the "loose" number system (really just as rigid, but justs "sounds" loose)...

What am I trying to say?

In order to elevate our... what I hear in your recordings there for instance... is to layer many of these pieces into one "meta" piece..."Persepolis" being the main insiration here. Have you heard 'Persepolis', milk?

Actually, you get my creative juices flowing... I just borrowed the Yamaha Digital Recording Station... mmm, what to do with it?...

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to react to my piece. I don't have Persepolis - I do have a lot of other Xenakis but I have a hard time finding this one. I may have to think a little on all that you posted. This music is all done on my computer. Yes...it's intuitive...I try to make it add up to sounding like more than that. I have a lot of failures before I find something that I think works for me.

This is another new one. The video is just some shots around Osaka, Japan. I think this music is, in a way, my most successful stab at this genre: the not-pop-genre. It's successful in the sense that it's very organic sounding (to me).

I think KR 74 & 81 are beautiful. It's interesting to see the word "organic." I don't know what snyprrr meant, but the word sometimes appears in reviews of jazz/improvisation, something like "as if the music grows organically." Anyway, KR does not sound like patchwork to me.

I'm really happy you took the time to listen and that you could enjoy it.

War, hippies, illicit drug use, a poisonous snake, you'll get that and more in this new video by (in a deep scary voice) KILL ROCK:

I could bore you with a lecture. But why not just save time and watch the video?
