Description This started out as a backing track for a song in the style of the band Suicide (electro punk originators of the late 70's - a must listen). However - as I listened to the track repeatedly - I couldn't bring myself to sing over it - and really got into the way repetition invites the brain to find change where none exists. The basis of this track never changes once established about a minute in - but I find I hear different sounds and patterns anyway.

I hope I'm not a total narcissist and that you find something to enjoy in this also. It could be that like Narcissus - I'm captivated by my own reflection. Play loud or soft.

Nice of you to comment.

Rinse and Repeat
yeah, I see what you mean about hearing different sounds/patterns even when they're not actually there. When I started listening to this, I was thinking "well, this probably isn't really quite for me" - but then I couldn't hit the stop button, and then I didn't want it to end. Now if you've ever listened to anything of mine you know that I'm also quite into repetitions - totally different genre, but reps are reps - so maybe the part of my brain that likes to hear something over and over again met up with the part of your brain that likes the same thing. And it was beautiful! (lol) thanks

bud said 276 days ago
I think repetition appeals
to our basic desire for order and comfort in predictability. The breath - the heartbeat - basic rhythms.

echoroom said 277 days ago
trippy
Very evocative and cinematic... cool little trip, Bud.

bud said 276 days ago
Yeah - nothing special
but something that I liked in its simplicity. Glad you could get into it.

Youra said 277 days ago
Suicide
As a fan of the band (and Vega) I could'nt stay insensible to this. Loved it.

bud said 276 days ago
Thanks Youra
Suicide was an amazing act. I saw Vega perform recently and he was as good and strange as ever. His accompanist ( a woman - not Martin Rev) played an ipod with a Kaos Pad and an Air FX.

Thanks Jack
something to soothe the savage beast.

Tripy!
I'm hypnotised cool tune cool done faved.

bud said 276 days ago
Hey Kenta
glad you stopped by.

racerat said 276 days ago
Cagey
Very John Cagey me-thinks. I agree that the mind is always one to try to make sense, fill in the gaps, find patterns where none exist. I feel your pain and torment when it comes to the 'to song over this cool track, or not to sing over this cool track" conundrum. Glad you left it as is as a dense study in pattern. I wish it went on for about 15 minutes. It would be a great song to do yoga by.

bud said 276 days ago
After repeated listening I came to the same
conclusion - that it works well for about 15 minutes - but thought that that was a lot to ask here. Just let it repeat.

paul f. page said 276 days ago
It...
...hypnotizes...and anesthesizes...all at the same time. Here is performance art that can't be ignored...or escaped. So to me, the question is as elemental as the art: why?
(Not meaning any disrespect whatsoever. At the end of the day, you made me think.)
Peace.
Paul

bud said 275 days ago
Very interesting question you pose -
I guess the first answer could be why not? But are you asking why it works - or why it exists? It exists to provide pleasure - or at least to stimulate thought or some other area of the brain - as I assume all music and art does. Why it works is open to discussion - as is whether it works at all. Thanks for commenting - it's always nice hearing from you.

Hey!
Sounds like you might have been channeling Electro Estate! Very unusual, and extrememly trippy. Kind of pulls one in......

I like the way you mixed the guitars in the distance...

Be well!

bud said 274 days ago
Thanks Michael
nice of you to stop by and comment. Sorry to say that no guitars were used here - just some tweaked up noise and a little electric piano. Now if I could only get my guitar to sound like that.

said 274 days ago
Geez!
You sure fooled me Kevin!

SmokeyVW said 274 days ago

that melodic metallic repeating noise burst is way cool ! ! ! !

this effect reminds me very much of listening to tight loops of spoken words. first you hear some syllables, then your mind locks in on some detail and it slowly unfolds into a new set of syllables... and it keeps turning around and around into other pseudo-words... of course it's all in your head - but then it all is in your head - all the time anyway, isn't it?

i see what you mean about the mirror.

very cool - you've inspired me to try something along these lines.

thanks

bud said 274 days ago
By George you've got it!
But don't worry - it'll wear off in a few days. I started hearing the voices myself and I know what's there - and it's nothing like voices.
Glad you like the metallic shhh metronome. That was actually the hardest part to get right. It's made up of about six little bits of white noise from different sources like cymbals, wind, static etc. - all put together and tweaked to sound like steam I guess. There's a certain percussive sound that Suicide had that was some early drum machine played through pedals - that's what I was going for originally.

SmokeyVW said 274 days ago
mirror
also your graphic. there is a repeating symbol there.

it's a mirror isn't? also known as the symbol for female.

cool.

playing with our minds, aren't you?

bud said 274 days ago
mirror
in a way yes. this is the MURA aperture pattern for the LEGRI gamma-ray telescope. More info here -

I wish I were smart enough to play with your mind - I just get lucky sometimes.

Dj French Toast said 272 days ago

bud said 272 days ago
Thanks Bennie -
I gotta get over to your place - I do believe I'm behind on my listening.

lengold said 271 days ago
Sorry I'm so late to this bud
Really felt that I was on a old steam train ride (not that I have ever been on one - I think).
I was hearing voices too - very interesting and definitely enjoyable.
Cheers
Len



bud said 271 days ago
Thanks Len -
Nice of you to stop by after having been feared lost. Very Paul McCartney moment there.

composerclark said 270 days ago
Trance Trance Trance Trance...
Trance-inducing music. Trance-inducing music. Trance-inducing... well, you get the idea! Very captivating, and I find myself listening on several levels simultaneously, if that makes any sense. Very cool!

bud said 269 days ago
Several levels
quite a compliment - thanks. Glad you stopped by.

gregd said 268 days ago
This could be track one,
or track 14, on a Pan Sonic album. This music just gives the imagination space to play solos all over the place.

Cool bit of psychological programming; I have an inexplicable urge to by hot dogs now . . . .

Please don't hang it out to dry!

Great track and concept
I'm there, swimming in the sonic sea and then surfing the sine waves.
