Synth sequence, click-track triggering plus tape-recorder echo.

Sam,
I like this very much. The bass and percussion make a nice framework for the space leads.
Is there anyway I can obtain a data CD or DVD of your music?
Chris
You can get 2 audio-CD's with my work at the Polumnia label (http://www.polumnia.net/index.html)
the site is confusing to me and your MUX album gave a 404...
is this for sale or download?
hm.. the site is quite confusing indeed, sorry about that. I will write my friend about this malfunction.
Originally it were actual disks for sale (15,-.) But he was planning to let pay for downloads.
The page with Self MUXiliation should be corrected by now.
By the way, talking about a data CD, this album originally has tracks made in four channels.
I'm a little confused... I thought modplug was about sharing our work in the spirit of The Scene. I can understand re-reimbursing a special request that gives you expenses....
Maybe I got this wrong? Perhaps this is not yours to give?
No need for confusion here. All my work I've published here is in that spirit, but you asked about concrete disks. Which contain extra expenses, apart from the fact, that these two CD's are published by a label, as a commercial activity by this friend.
But the deal is, that I still have a choice to publish a track for free.
And I don't think people should pay for a compressed format anyway.
But about this song... :)
Dustin our newest bassist walked in when i was giving this song a listen, and he and i were both loving this bass line! Our ears were waiting for the kick or the hihat or the lead synth, but were never gratified. The bass line though needs to be put with its kind, Zen! 8)
But i did like the experimentism behind the song, altho i must say i would have liked to have heard more layers...It did inspire Dustin though!
As Harbringer stated, i'd like to head more layers too, but for an experimental song it's still enjoyable to the ears. The most amazing experimental stuffs that i found from you Sam are the The triangle of noise project and those mathematical function songs. Whitenoise does sounds very cool with some added filter.
I understand the lack of layers, but it was the setup of this series. Here's part four :

my distinct impression is of the amazonian rain forest.
nicely done sir sam zen!
Notes as i'm listening:
(Lake Shock No. 4)
Why do you torment us so? We with ears and innocent intrigue are carried by your primitive rhythms and meters, and unrelenting bells and insects, holding our breath for the next layer of sonic transformation, but dragging on like rats waiting for our pied piper, and never being allowed to escape the gravity in which you hold us. This music has such a promising movement, but no one else ever comes in to take the reins, and we remain with no knees to help us dance. Curse you! For this your music shall be labeled! Come, psishock, hold him down while i brand him!! The new name for your style, my good man, shall be called.....
Primal Electronica!!
There! it is affixed! Forever you shall never compose anything n o r m a l and by this label you shall be respected by only musicians and synth makers!:P
Well, I apologize and will humbly bow to be branded..
So, with the risk of getting boring, here's part three :

Who would [edit] WANT [/edit] to be normal?
Sam is certainly deserving of this compliment!
I've been short of time at home but can listen at work. Is there a way to play ogg files without installing a program? I can't ask IT to give me permission to install a non-business program.
I'm afraid I wouldn't know. Without a program, the browser-plugin (WMP or QT) would need an add-on I guess.
it sounds like a section of the lake with birds - loons?
interesting soundscape. How do you design your sounds?
Just by intuition, I think, listening.
Not yet complete, but here's Lake Shock nr.2 (http://www.samshuijzen.nl/sam/lakesh/2lakshk2.ogg)
interesting motive because it sounds almost random but doesn't seem to be.
Sound like you enjoyed bird-like sounds in this series.
Yep, afterwards you seem right about the birds.
The not-really random aspect is caused by the fact, that there's a steady sequence going on, but not all notes are 'on' all the time, plus a second vco is synced by it, but is varying, so is not always producing the same harmonic.
(with not yet complete I mean, there's also part five, but it's too long imo)
