You get this a lot. Sometimes I'm opening a door, and the clicking of the lock mechanisms turns out DAMN funky... sometimes I kick some stones and they bounce to just the right rhythm. To quote Ae (can't remember if it was Sean or Rob) in an interview where asked "what is your favourite track?" "Probably the sound of someone skimming stones on a frozen lake" Someone mentioned DXM (cough syrup) on the list the other day... good to see another dexer around :) The best "track" I have heard, ever, is the chopped up swooshing of wind rustling leaves and a chorus of bird conversation (please don't ask me what kind :), aided by Buckleys DM syrup :) Even the best ae records don't come close to the depth of structure in the musical machines that reality has already built for us. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
