I think one thing you might want to keep in mind is that in music like this, you're going to want to focus more on the evolution of the tones and textures than you would in a 'normal' song (I kind of hate the phrase 'experimental music' but I get the idea behind it), so one thing you might want to try on your next go-around would be adjusting the delay you're using to be a little more dynamic /not just a variation on Clapton's White Room wah -- that same sort of heel/toe quarter note chop, if you will is essentially what defines this piece, and it's more commanding than a lot of the instrumentation (at least through laptop speakers, which is not ideal listening for this sort of stuff, obviously).
What sort of space where you imagining when you came up with this piece?
Oh wow, thanks!
I didn't know what to call it besides 'experimental', it didn't exactly seem like a drone.
The idea of Clapton's White Room wah, that's interesting, it never occurred to me. I haven't listened to it in years, but it could have been welling up from my unconscious. I guess I just felt like the rhythm was kind of driving, so I flowed with it. But I get what you are saying. Next time will be different. The last thing I want to do now is get formulaic.
So, what kind of space was I imagining...well I wasn't, really, I just thought I would try this out. It was all improvised. But I do believe Jung's theory that all creativity comes from the unconscious mind, so the dark, mysterious inner space of symbolism and emotion is always lurking just beneath the surface.
I really appreciate you taking time to listen and offer such detailed comments, thanks much.
