--> I did this track for school last year. I asked 4 jazz musiciens to improvised individually (a doublebass player, a guitarist, a drummer and a sax player) and I used some of their material plus mine to compose this hybrid acousmatic/freejazz/electronica piece. I'm satisfied about the form, but the mixing and mastering could use a lot of work (and the reverbs I used sucks...). I intend to correct this when i'll have some free time. Any kinds of positive or negative comments are welcomed.

edit : sampling rate problem in the player, listen to it here :

The player plays it a little bit to slow (it must be the sampling frequency or something) so please listen to it from the link.

I have to say my favorite parts of this are where the instruments don't sound like the instruments--like the first horn parts that sound like a train-whistle and a lot of the more processed, chopped and manipulated parts: awesome.

some of the straight bass and horn parts stuck in there push it a little too far towards spoken-word-jazzy-coffeehouse cliche for my taste.

but mostly, really good sounds. and obviously mad skillz.

Thanks for those constructive comments, you are right about the mid jazzy-coffehouse part, it's the one I like the least of the whole piece. I tried to create a strange and mysterious part before the more energic ending part, but I didn't really succeed.

And for the sounds, I did a lot of them with a software named Cecilia link . It's a free software based on Csound programming. It means that if you can use this programming language, you can transform the modules or add things in them (but I personally hate Csound, really not user friendly). The interface is not very nice, it's a little bit complex to use at first , but once you know how to use it well, you can do really amazing things (fft, granulation, harmonizer, streaming spectral, filters, etc.)

no I actually like the mysterious build-up mid part quite a lot.
the jazzy bits i meant are the sort of free-form horn blurts and solos and bass parts that are just kind of scattered throughout.

thanks for the link. I am going to check that software out.
by the way, I've had your other track, mara vs. buddha, in constant rotation. seriously dope.
