Cool that you finally released an album! I just listened to it. Very ambient, and relaxed, with nice variations and buildups at parts. My favorite track is probably milque. I love those scratching sounds. Anyway, I'll listen to it again and give you some more feedback.

ok. Tadpole commeting made me curious. Will check!

Your stuff isn't my usual cup of tea, but I feel it does what it's supposed to do very well. It gives off very strong moods that sound like they would fit well to scenes of a film or game. Each song of this album portrays the ambiance of a different place, with it's own vibe. Rather than making you feel like you're on a journey from place to place, with lots of stuff happening, each song on "beginsend" is like you're stationary, just looking around in a new place. The mood of each place stays the same for the whole song.

Every moment of the album sounds good to me, but there's nothing that blows me away. Such is ambient music. I think that all of this music would work well very well as the background music to a puzzle game like Myst or something.

xibalba - a spooky train station.

squaring the circle - nice sounds, nice drumming. It's like exploring an underwater cave.

stationary motivator - A museum? Nice breakbeats. Love when the rock drums kick in at 4:11. Nice use of 7/4 time.

Sinar Matahari
A nice day, in the forest or park. The stringy instrument reminds me of a "ebow" for guitar, an battery-powered instrument that you hold instead of a guitar pick which magnetically vibrates the strings.
I love the way it ends. I think it would have been cool to throw in some more chords, like a Am chord for example. But that's just my style.

Milque - Walking around at night through a field or forest. It's scary.

tadpole, wow! thank you so much for your amazing invested perceptions. i feel honored and am totally blown away by your visions of the audio created through my physical being. much gratitude... :)
