I've got most of them going back to #5, I think...but they're not online outside of an active contest for storage reasons. Can have a dig around next time I'm on the studio machine if you want some old ones to mess with?

Can't provide any historical data on who created them or what the winning submission from them was, however.

I'd love to mess around with some if you can find em. Who created them or who won doesn't really matter to me.

No worries

Won't be tonight, however...there will be two kittens waiting at my apartment when I get home

Back to teaching on the 14th of January...didn't get many classes. Only 4...ramen noodle budget...good thing I worked the spendy spirit out of me over the holidays...advantage is way less grading, courses start at noon, lots of time for music

Ton o' new gear to learn and play with while I'm starving this winter ;p

^^ It annoys me your SC page is currently empty, you do good work.

What do you teach, btw?

Been listening to burial for the last two days without opening reason. The most impressive part for me has to be how the lofi crackle interact with the drums.. It's not just layered over the entire beat it sounds...

Thanks man. I really appreciate that! I'll have a new EP out soon-ish (self release).

Random idea...Reverse ducking. Like instead of having how you would with sidechaining where something 'drops' whenever the kick hits, have it do the opposite and only play when the kick hits, give a nice long release on the sidechaining device and you have this bed of lo-fi snap crackle & goodness that only plays when triggered by a drum.

Could even automate the release on the sidechain to vary the response times over the course of a track.

Actually, totally forgot...http://idmfbeattapes.bandcamp.com/album ... thropology

Check this out, some pretty good tunes on it. Got my tune Summer's Gone on there

Might give that a try later, been meaning to try and get my head around CV and this seems like a nice way to start

Haha...man...I've been involved in the Freshman writing program for fucking ever...I was a writing tutor as an undergraduate and eventually the student-manager of the writing center, taught it in grad school and now do it for a living.

Big ups though man...that's some tough work, I know!

BTW...def going to download that EP you have out....I just listened to your tunes for the first time not long ago

but damn...lush atmos my man! I'm usually not a huge fan of ambient, but I dig your stuff. Big textures.

College. Thank god.

Oh I thought you meant HS, those are the papers I have to edit.. Some kid spelled the same word two different ways in the same sentence and both were wrong...

Oh ho ho. See the thing is, that kid won't learn anything all through high school and I will have to deal with the same shit when he gets to my class ;p

@wub: why the psychedelic rock rant? I'm all for such a rant personally as that's what I grew up on...will try to remind you.

Slowly losing confidence in myself. Cant finish a single WIP because I realize it sounds like shit after a while.

Fuck.
