| The Winter's Not Over by carlajpatterson | 1 year ago |
It sure isn't!!! *typed with frost-bitten fingers* That mid-section with the scat and processed vocals is simply surreal and so so beautiful. Thank you for this winter wonderland, Carla. I'm going to grab a cup of hot tea and have another listen.  |

| Badfish by Mikee | 1 year ago |
| Very nice lo-fi feel, Mikee. Honest vocals, and catchy rhythm chords from the guitar. More of a funfish really. | |
| Free Jazz by artneuro | 1 year ago |
| Cool piece, Art. Definitely a frenetic, free jazz sound. Big fan of Sun Ra, Don Cherry, Charles Mingus, and the bunch who pioneered this sorta thing. Kudos to your process and the results definitely speak for themselves. |
|
| In the Gyre by soulima | 1 year ago |
| I really enjoyed this piece, John. I just love how the winds and pizzicati strings are working together in this contemplative canon. The dynamics are well balanced and you exercise a high level of control over the instrumental forces, as per usual. Well done! p.s.  Happy New Year!! |

| Ostinato (for flute and bassoon) by georgeptingley | 1 year ago |

| Vincent by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |

|
| Imperical by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
| A wonderful piece, Jeff. As others have mentioned, the intro here is truly fabulous. Another well-crafted journey, the segue into those popping beats was unexpected and yet fresh - you seem to be a master of the polystyle, which I love. Spectacular rhythms and melodic flourishes here. I've taken a break from iC for a little while, but I see that you have been as prolific as ever. Looking forward to catching up with your work today. |

Brilliant and sublime strings, as a few listenens have already mentioned. This piece really does grow on you. Glad to hear your creative voice flowing again. Nice piece! |
|
| Swimming In The Garden Of Midnight by JoelGoffin | 2 years ago |
Nice piece, Joel. Inviting progressions and infectious rhythms work together here to create a warm and epic feeling. I love the bell-like timbres in the arrangement here. Those electronic flourishes provide a great counterpoint here. Wonderful production, as always. You've provided a perfect soundtrack for my evening - I'm floating through it. Glad I caught this piece tonight. |

| Of Marbles and Migraines v.2 by PurePerversity | 2 years ago |
Such a delightful track, Josh! Listeners, I suggest you break out your headphones in order to capture all the subtle and beautiful textures in this piece (the intro is particularly gorgeous). The song blossoms into a rocking and rollicking good time. Fantastic and thought-provoking lyrics as well. Bravo!  |
|
| echoing hope by Mystified | 2 years ago |
Quite lovely as usual, Cat! A beautiful improv - full of light and hope. It's great to hear your signature sound back at iC. All the best, ~Justin |
|
| carillon/pianomist by telecaster29 | 2 years ago |
A highly-textured soundworld. Ambient electronica at its best. Those electric guitar slides are really great. I saved a copy - nice work! |
|
| Night Fall by byHeart | 2 years ago |
| A slow and subtle progression. Spare, yet beautiful harmonies are at work in a "classical" arrangment here. Very nice! I'll have to check out Oberon. Grazie molto! ~Justin |
|
| Floating by soulima | 2 years ago |
| A warm, summer wind. Glad you revisited this airy classical blend. It just takes its own sweet time to unfold in stately melodies. Nice one, soul. |
|
| My Heart's Own Pim by enkibumbu | 2 years ago |
| A lovely blend of sauntering piano chords. Drifting through a lazy summer day - in love. Do I hear some backwards-masked reverb in there? That walking bassline provides a superb counterpoint to complete this jazzy atmosphere. Very nice! ~Justin |
|
| Piano Improv. 2009-34 by telo12 | 2 years ago |
A wonderful tune pouring out from your fingertips. Very nice, telo!! |
|
| Summer Is Leaving Us... by Arbori | 2 years ago |
| Yes, this moves the way the evening moves after a golden Autumn sunset. Displaying an organic, warm, and delicate synth build between piano and strings. A simple expression from the heart, I feel. Very nice. | |
| ADVENTURES OF A DREAMER - CHAPTER V - Dream Temple by Arbori | 2 years ago |
What an enchanting blend! Quite a beautiful alchemy of styles going on here and the result is rather beautiful. Saving a copy. Much enjoyed! |
|
| Ascension... by Arbori | 2 years ago |
A gradual upstepping. There are other worlds as we pass through time and space. The path to Paradise. An ethereal expression of serenity and peace. Thanks for sharing. |
|
| Orion by Arbori | 2 years ago |
| Exploding chambers of stars. Yes, this music summons of the great mystery and the great power of the costellations and the cosmic beauty of Orion. Very nice! | |
| The Paradise by Arbori | 2 years ago |
Tonight is the first time that I have come across your music. I'm enjoying the cosmic and spiritual concepts and atmospheres that you evoke through your pieces. There is another iComper named Narananda - I think there is much in his catalogue that you would enjoy - I'm hearing some striking similarities between your styles. ~Justin |
|
| Mare Numen Inis Placidus (Calm Seas Of Gods) by Arbori | 2 years ago |
| Drifting into the tranquil glow of it. A vortex of light. Spirits pulsing in the night. Minimalistic chords rock gently to the of the lights. The subtle and spare percussions work very nicely here. Actually, this piece is quite reminiscent of the slow, 2nd movement from Poul Ruders' Symphony no. 1, check it out! You have created a warm and luminous space - I like it very much. |
|
| Almost Cut My Hair by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| Solid work. Well done! |
|
| Hymn of the Ancestors [Stargate: Olympus] vid by randolf | 2 years ago |
Wonderful visuals with a powerful score - an excellent pairing. |
|
| Carla's First Ember by carlajpatterson | 2 years ago |
| Heavenly. Soaring free. The result is a beautiful open collaboration, a brilliant series of improvs, a beam of light. Glad you captured this string of melodies - a true expression of heart and soul. I understand the Floyd reference (particularly "the great gig..."), but I also am hearing striking similarities to Lisa Gerrard and Enya in these sweeping vocals. Very nice. |
|
| The Collision of an altered freedom by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
| Karlheinz Stockhausen meets George Crumb meets Dimension X. Tubular bells are a much under-utilized resource, methinks. A brilliant blitzkrieg of sound. An Industrial melodrama from the year 2029, I can feel it........ | |
| Heaven and Hell Percussion Composition by drumbum424 | 2 years ago |
Excellent percussion play! |
|
| everything merges with AN Other seamonster in the underpass (PD+Bud+stevel+rsorenson+Diviner+Bud) by particledots | 2 years ago |

| Bubbles by guitar55 | 2 years ago |
A jazzy and effervescent mix of rhythm and groove. A lush and languid sound. Very nice, Michael! |
|

| A dazzling display of timbre and light. Lovely work! |
|
| Fractals by soulima | 2 years ago |
| A delightful and melodious build. Multilayered, yet minimalistic and repetitive at the core. I like the musical geometry at work here. | |
| I don't know by Donatus | 2 years ago |
You don't have to know!! Isn't that a great thing? The free and jazzy intro breaks into a steady bed of beats and melodies singing above the rhythmic ground. Brilliant piece. Really been enjoying your synth stylings today! |
|
| Phantasie by Donatus | 2 years ago |
A mysterious and magical event. A phantastic performance! Beautiful progressions and arpeggiations. Lovely, expressive, lush. You are speaking through the piano. Speaking from the heart. A dreamy and soul-stirring composition. |
|
| Resurrexit by Donatus | 2 years ago |
Such a spritely and happy feeling. Like a processional. Like a dance. This does carry a filmic pace and classical sense in terms of development and resolution; and this track is evocatiove of film composers like Carter Burwell, Michael Nyman, even Philip Glass. I love the mimimalistic sense of pulsation and chord progressions here. Repetitive in the best sense of the word, with rich and wonderful harmonies, it certainly fits well in the contemporary classical vein. I'm glad I came across this UPLIFTING track this Sunday morning. Very nice work, Donatus! |
|
| Not Afraid to Love by Naaji | 2 years ago |
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear." -John 4:18 I rarely quote the Bible, but that verse felt so fitting in this context. Yet, your recent works do have a kind of spiritually liberating quality for me. A wise and wonderful lyric. A simple statement of truth. Very nice!! ~Justin |
|
| Prism (For Carla) by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
A sensuous and sweet tribute to a delightful artist and singer in our commuminty. We're truly blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing wealth of talent on iComp. A lovely sentiment flows through this whole track. You're both awesome in my book. Thanks for the smile! |
|
| John Coltrane's - "Naima" - Live Performance by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
Wonderful performances! Thanks for sharing this live clip, Jeff! The guitar and bass ably hold the ground while the trumpet and trombone take their own melodious turns. I like the muted effects on the brass. Dynamic work, guys. A warm rendition Coltrane's "Naima." True beauty. |
|
| Rare treat, behind the scenes footage! by JamesJoyride | 2 years ago |
| Hilarious! Wonderful. I love it. Hi Kermit! | |
| Og by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| Smashing work, Chris! A lovely guitar ballad. Light /over/ Water. A soul-stirring soundscape indeed. A splendid unfolding, as it spirals into another dimension with the counting children. The dynamic unity of ONE (I). The Fool child becomming Magician. I really dig this track! Nicely done. j |

| the airpork waltz by randolf | 2 years ago |
Music for a new generation. Meatpuppet's delight. Just right. |
|
| Prelude to a New Day by byHeart | 2 years ago |
| A sparkling weave and refrain. Yeah, Riley, Reich, Adams, Glass, etc...I'm sure they'd all agree this is a delightful homage to the genre. | |
| Singing as the Ship Goes Down by schubertiad | 2 years ago |
Very nice, Schubertiad! Lovely guitar showcase. Excellent songwriting at work here. |
|
| Satie Blue (open collab) by georgeptingley | 2 years ago |
| You too? Brilliant. Beautiful. Blue. With the touch of the Master. Really nice, GPT. The spirit of Satie lives on... | |
| New Model Army by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| Progressive rock. Cool vibe, doesn't come across as particularly "electronica" to me. This sound world is compelling, as is your description/comment above. I like the way you're breaking down the "classical structures." Very nice piece, Chris! | |
| Hey Mr. Bossa! by Valbuena | 2 years ago |
| Nice bossa groove. Love the sax!!! | |
| Malanthem of Valbuena by Valbuena | 2 years ago |
| There are equal shares of malevolence and majesty in these progresssions. Excellent and epic percussions! I love the choral and brass swells too. Nice build. Very nice! ~Justin |
|
| Gravel Highway, Suite for Orchestra by davidsmith99 | 2 years ago |
| Very nice arrangement, David! What a delightful and determined suite for orchesta. A very nice piece to end the evening with - thanks for posting! ~Justin |
|
| Power v4 by Unreasoning | 2 years ago |
| Great work! Really brilliant percussive textures are expressed in epic volleys of sound. I'd love to hear this in the concert hall. The winds weave in such masterful and mischievous figurations. I loved the last version, and this expanded take is quite splendid too. Bravo!! ~Justin |
|
| I'll Take a Pill if it will Make Me Forget You by Naaji | 2 years ago |
It doesn't matter where it comes from--only that you captured it! A slow, cool, reflective, reflexive piece on regret and relationships. A dark and disturbingly enchanting groove. Brilliant vocals. Breaking down. Break it down. Really nice, Ramona! |
|
| Asteroid: #1 Solar System.. by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
Of silence and sound. A slow, deceptively simple build. The islands of spacE! A dark and quiet ether. In the beginning........... |
|
| Summer Solstice by carlajpatterson | 2 years ago |
This is excellent, Carla! Thank you for reviving this segment of the Free Pulsation project and for your amazing vocal additions. What a vibrant and dynamic shift. I am absorbed by these sweet sounds and celestial melodies. What a wonderful way to begin this solstice Sunday. A ray of light. Thanks to all who have contributed to the evolution of this work! ~Justin |
|
| Dendrites by AcetyleneJukebox | 2 years ago |
| A wonderful medly and melding of percussions and synth. Organic repetitions. Oceans of the mind. Capt. Nemo sailing around the brain. I trust Nodal helped you arrange those wicked awesome rhythms? Dynamic soundscapes. |
|
| Love Song of the Free Trade Zones by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| I'm in love with your free trade zones. Wonderful work! |
|
| String Quartet No. 1 by Unreasoning | 2 years ago |
| Yes, it's very quiet (at full volume it was very soft) - and also a bit short. Is this the entire quartet, or just the first movement? There are some nice harmonies and melodic runs in the violins, but this piece didn't move me nearly as much as your orchestral works. Still feels like a sketch to me. I think a better set of string patches would help a lot too - these kind of synth/midi strings usually leave a foul residue in my ears. Maybe it is a matter of rendering?? It feels like a nice start. I took a look over your score. You might consider adding some double- and triple-stops in the strings in order to add more substance to this composition? There is some good movement in this work. Keep on going....... |
|
| Angels by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
 Wake up, Angels!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
| WAKE UP..!! by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
| If I wasn't quite awake before, I am now! Ritualistic and raging percussions. Even the voice is used like a percussion instrument, tearing through the scenes. Recognizable steps and stabs (written before I heard the stabbing lyric, LOL).. Raising consciousness. Funny profundity. Poetic. Mimetic. Blue light special in the spectral supermarket. | |
| The boxes of Shane #1 by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
| Brilliant work, guys. Free jazz at its finest. Who wants ice cream?  |
|
| Requiem For Lost Souls by JoelGoffin | 2 years ago |
| A lilting and graceful refrain for choir and strings. It's dark, yes, but it shines with an inner light. The piano has a bit too much reverb, I think. However, this is a lovely and lush piece of music, Mr. Goffin. | |
| De Profundis by JoelGoffin | 2 years ago |
| Wonderful strings. Epic minimalism. Reminiscent of Philip Glass in the opening rounds with the 4-chord progressions and arpeggiations, and then it seems to take a more suspenseful set of chords in the second half, taking on a more filmic feeling to me. Nice percussion and pulsation throughout this. The brass adds a great touch in the finale. Cool piece! | |
| High Voltage Squid Helmet by AudioIrony | 2 years ago |
| My tasty tentacles are reeling with delight. Muchos gracias! |
|
| African Vibes by guitar55 | 2 years ago |
Wonderful work, Michael. This is very tuneful and uplifting. A wild watusa has gotten loose, so let's go for a glide. Brilliant and beautiful music! |
|
| CRIME OF THE HEART by Barretok | 2 years ago |
| Great track, B! Criminally overlooked. What a crook! The brass melodies tickle my fancy and the vocals are reminiscent of Dylan. Bob Dylan that is............nice one! | |
| Everything by Mikee | 2 years ago |
| Walzing around the universes. Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite. What a terrific a show tonight! Very nice atmosphere, MiKee! Cooolish, ghoulish track. |

| Very cool, MiKee! THANKS for riffing on my Goethe fragment. This is really quite splendid! ~Justin |
|
| "I" #2 by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
| Cosmic and soulful percussions. Somehow it hits home--straight to the heart of the matter. The spirit's labors are evident here, my friend. The ending seemed a little clipped, but this is a fascinating sound work of supreme dimensions. Live in Love, ~Justin |
|
| THE-Jungle-Book by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
It's never quite so simple with you... A humorous, haunting, and highly compelling piece of sound art and a clever quotation of children's music all rolled into one. It's all about the departures and surrounding textures here. I love those shimmering sustains, and the bizarre warp of chords you have chosen to group here. Your using fingerpaints to create a complex vision of childhood. A kaleidoscopic whirl of colors. Great pitchbends, and the "beat-box" rhythms create an effect that evokes something simpler than what's really going on here, and a compelling shift into the mental and the metaphysical, even self-referential spoken word refrains. One could almost imagine a whole tapestry of Disney songs undergoing this method. A successful and sublime deconstuction of the child's mind. An artificial sense of naivety. The synth work here is truly superb, OMNI, I loved the stylized shapes, textures, and timbres. A palace made of ornate blocks. Playful, yet substantial. ~Justin |
|
| Finding Asylum by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| Great song, guys! I really thought the lyrical intensity picked up and grabbed my interest around the section with the alien and the mime. Great verses, Daniel. Hopefully it comes across as constructive, but I thought the harp came across a bit heavy and that the lovely guitar lines could be brought forward in the mix. That electric organ delivers a delightful pulsation and strobing rhythm in this tune. This is a wonderful collaboration, gentlemen! | |
| The Earth Opened Its Mouth LIVE by RichardRinger | 2 years ago |
A fast-paced and fantastic peformance of the title track from your recent and wonder-filled album, The Earth Opened Its Mouth. I've listened to the song off the album many times, and I'm with pharmakeus--this one's brilliant, Richard! Thank you for sharing these LIVE cuts with us. ~Justin |
|
| Midnight Dream Waltz by mbehar | 2 years ago |
| Moody, dreamy, wonderful -- yes, those words describe this piece very well. I'm taking a warm and nostalgic trip down memory lane. Remembering the good times. Thank you! ~Justin |
|
| The Glass Castle by georgeptingley | 2 years ago |
| A fantasy of sweet arpeggiations. A Philip Glass fairytale perhaps? Simply enchanting! ~Justin |
|
| For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her – Simon & Garfunkel by OMNICELL | 2 years ago |
What a choice cover you have performed here, OMNI. I know and love the original from the dynamic Simon and Garfunkel. You have evoked a sultry, smokey, and sentimental lounge take on this classic tune. There's a lot of feeling in here. A passionate and poignant solo piano version. The final, climactic lift is really amazing. The way we are taken aback by the work of the Masters. I'm also familiar with your choice of album art here: Vermeer's "Girl with a Pearl Earing." It adds a sweet and innocent quality to this re-presentation of Emily. Nicely done! ~Justin |

| Solar by Stebbo | 3 years ago |
| A solar flare and a flare of soul. Definitely sounds like it would work as the "end credits" music for an outer space anime love story. Just delightful, Stebbo! |
|
| Boring in C Major for the String Quartet by PurePerversity | 3 years ago |
| I was wondering if those "strumming strings" were a treated guitar sound or what. I love those colorful scales from the autoharp and dulcimer. Nice work. | |
| Boring in C Major for the String Quartet by PurePerversity | 3 years ago |
A hymn to stale love with a funny title - a jab at tradition. Appropriately succinct. I'm really diggin' the pulse of the percussions and the rich, sprectral flourish of the strumming strings. The mantra-like vocal refrains were perfect for this sardonic lyric. Funny lyrics too. An ecstatic weave of voices creates a final lift near the end. This mix sounds lush and full-bodied to my ear. All the elements are in place here. It comes across to me as kind of Harry Partch meets the Beatles (but it's clearly Happy Indeed). All you need is Dear John. Carry on, my friends! ~Justin |
