noaxis said: the kind words are much appreciated. hadn’t heard of marconi union but am listening now and loving it so thanks for that!

No Axis is one of my favorite ambient artists, doing a sort of Marconi Union thing what? more of a pop sensibility?, which is probably off, but that's my frame of reference! Maybe there are other indie artists or w/e that are a better reference, but I like this stuff, and I hate consistently comparing other artists and genres to make safe referential categories.

noaxis said: totally had that feeling about my music before. just scratching everything and starting fresh. but then i let the thought linger for a couple days and it usually subsides.

That No Axis track, In Waves, is so, angsty? Like the way it sets up all this ominous octave oscillating to minor second fuzzy drone saw out of like a blank hum, and just fails and then expands? It defines and then deepens some kind of abject difference, at least as commonly apparent? The difference in a half step is much more audible, or apparent someone that doesn't know what to call it other than dissonance. And I mean this swooning decay happens after the guitar? fuzz fulminates against the drone into a power chord. Can I say fulminate. Then the drop - I don't want to really call it a drop for fear of stereotype - fails that all so cutely...but the drone never leaves, we've just started ticking and arping on top of it, precariously, tiny old ass Roland drum sounds and distorted synths like Aphex prepared piano? And it goes in a lot of other places from there.
