Re: Grey Gallery Set
Thanks, Prof!
Just had a listen, and enjoyed it overall.
At the start, i was a bit surprised by the abrasiveness of some of the samples in "Sidewalk Erosion". But your trademark glitchy beats were there and held interest. "Bears in the Grass" is just excellent! Wonderful, unnerving vibe to it. With "Shoelace Polyrhythm", the wind and scream samples at the start made me wonder if the whole of this set was goingh to be in a slightly creepy vein. But as the beats settle in, and the analog melodies (i keep thinking Orbital "InSides" for these sounds) loop and pitchshift, it's a happier place altogether. Really liked the buzzy beat thatrounds out the track. "Candid Camera" is a slow build. The simple bass drum and one-bar loop were getting a little annoying after a couple minutes, but again, as you add IDM-ish beats and the retro key sounds, the track takes off. The final cut "Stop by Magee" has a great arpeggiated pattern and a renewed tone of optimism. The ending of the set is kind of abrupt, but then, the #1 rule in showbusiness: "Keep them wanting more!"
Cheers for sharing!
