I haven't posted in a while, here is pt 3 in a 3 part suite called Cathedral Belair.  Basically it's a piece of sonic art, no singing.  I've taken found sounds and put a couple in the granular synth to create the church organ.  I've also taken a fly sample and put it into the granular synth and used the Yourock guitar Midi Guitar Controller and played in a Gilmouresqe March of the Fly section.  Yep that is a real fly sample used as a synth sound sounding like an electronic fly.  Pretty cool if you ask me.  This is part of my Honours project.

Hey Ben,
its' "Ben" a while!  lol
 
this is very typical Ben style stuff, IMO.  not fond of the cricket sounds all the way thru the piece.  then the oscillators thru the middle got a little tiring.  and the stereo effects with the oscillators later weren't really my thing, either.
 
mix is pretty good, nothing is too prominent or distant.
the end just dropped out into silence/noise.  is that what it was supposed to do?
very interesting and definitely unique - very much your signature!

Basically it's a sound painting so yes, it is suppose to do all the strange things you found annoying lol.  In particular the osc stereo panning, which is a representation of a fly buzzing around, so I guess it is suppose to be annoying lol.
 
Thanks for listening.

Interesting piece of experimental music that makes a change as it does actually have some harmonic content.
 
Thanks Ben I really enjoyed that.

I always find your stuff interesting. I was recently reminded of a style of music that you could easily adopt into your style which would give it more intensity. Minimalism, IMO, would make your stuff even better. Rather than focusing on keeping things in beat, purposely drift them and pull them back in the end.
 
That's just my subjective opinion though so you can omit if. You are definitely creative.
 
Well done!

???????!!!!!!!! Whaaaaaaaaat?  Ha, really made me sit and think.  I was sitting there thinking" I don't really like this" yet I couldn't bring myself to turn it off.  I listened to the whole thing and I'm pretty sure I liked it.  Maybe I'll listen again to make sure.

Yea minimalism is coming, if I get my PHD project up and running, I'm planning to do some field recordings in the graveyard and turn  these recordings into a minimalist piece. True Story
 
Thanks for listening.

Hi Ben, 
The white noise is very distracting.  I like the other parts.  The fly thing is effective (I won't to swat something near me). 
It is all minimalistic but creative in it's own way.  
Good luck with this project.
