love this subject you have selected here, Ian

i would say that you have created another species; one of sound that morphs the previous occurrences of time, memory and humans

beautiful flow...feels well represented and the pic perfect-:)

Beautifully layered sounds - great temporal representation. Love it!!

Exceptionally gripping, another astounding piece of work Ian!

I was going to leave a comment but I forgot what I was going to say! BTW - nice track!

Chanced upon this and was really drawn in , impressive and  er....Sibelian 👏!

Time moves in one direction, memory another. We are that strange species that constructs artifacts intended to counter the natural flow of forgetting.  ~  William Gibson

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
