nice documentation, but i'd love to hear some more craftsmanship

> kidgamma

There is no laxities or anything at all in this recording, which were not specifically intended to be. It's not about documentation, it's about creating something personal, some living thing, which is sometimes imperfect (like anything in this world). It was intended to be like something different from sterile and rigorously edited out "usual" field recordings... So, it's not about lack of technical skill, it's about not being afraid to kept personal moments, which are usually destroyed in field recordings But thank you for your feedback, it's really important for us...

i didn't say anything about lack of technical skill. the recording job is great, alot of depth, space, and dimensionality. it may be a little left heavy or maybe i've got screwed up ears. anyways, by craftsmanship i don't necessarily mean sterile and rigorous cuts, and i understand about making something "personal" but if that's all it is, why would you put it up as a release? what i mean is, these sounds probably don't mean the same to me as they do you, and if that's something you're going for, fine, but you could probably do a little more translation work here. Like in fiction writing the tendency is to forget to explain things because they make so much sense to you, you forget that not everyone has the experiences and would know what mom's pancakes smell like to you.

i'm not bashing you, i think this is a nice piece, i'm just trying to offer some advice, and tell you what I'd like to hear

maybe not advice, but feedback yah

>kidgamma

yeah, now I got your point totally. Well, probably you're right. But thanks for your feedback, anyway, that's the most important thing. I think that's really great, than you're doing something which force people to think about it, analyze it. It's even good, that someone likes it, someone dislikes it... That's natural, that's good, that's okay... Take care!
