[The Santa Sleigher]

Why aren't you more popular, your varieties of music are pretty diverse

wobwobrob responds:

Thanks Zoo! I do like working in lots of styles. I've been front paged once so I'm steadily plugging away :)

[Vessel Full of Dreams]

Hey the old Phono is back. I miss these kinds of track you used to make

Phonometrologist responds:

I think I know what you mean. It was definitely a piece that I took to learn from the past. My desire is to just write. If it comes off in a different style or mood, it's merely to reflect the reality of being human.
Thank you my friend.

[Wilieu - Maimless]

Marvelous work :O

Wilieu responds:

Thank you, i think ill be out of energy for a while after this one though :P

[God's Sovereignty]

:3 my boy all grown up

Phonometrologist responds:

PAPA!

[Abstrack - Eclipse]

Dang this is so jammable. This kind of work you usually hear on pro stuff. But it's pretty unique because you are improvising it so much, I fucking love this.

Abstrack responds:

Holy! You didn't have to review my stuff :D
Thanks Mooke, I really appreciate the attention and the kind words <3

[A Thousand More To Slaughter (Old)]

What plugin did you use for the guitars? :O

Second part is amazing. Love the droning sounds it produced. Very Mick Gordon-y sounds. Which is what I love.

[Wilieu - 3rd Lighthouse]

Always find your glitch and sound design impressive. You mentioned your work were lack of structure, and I personally think this is an upside to your production. I used to make stuff without structural arrangement but I've become 'conformed' to conventional arrangement. Which is why I find your work really intriguing. Also they sound clean as hell despise the design, another unique feature of your work.

Excellent track. :)

Wilieu responds:

This really means a lot for me to hear <3

[A Musical Ode To Terence McKenna (feat. Dr Bruce Damer)]

Talking about that I ran out of shroom again, ugh hate being sober

SkankyMojo responds:

Yeah man, I love Terence, I got into him in my early 20's, totally feel in love with him, read all his books and listened to months worth of lectures by him. I fully consider myself part of the psychedelic tribe. 🙏

[The End of Decadence]

Hey you wrote something about the collapse! Didn't know it sounds that beautiful :O

Honestly, I wish I could reach that melodic power you have, it's just so amazing to listen to your work. There's something about them that last for long time and there ain't a boring moment whenever ppl listened to them. I guess that's why your work have that quality that very few people on NG have (certainly not me) Because it's just so telling and soothing, like a table story that you share with your family, but in the sense of comforting people, that everything is gonna be okay, no matter how fucked up our world right now. It's my feeling, not just this track but whenever I listen to your work. But this track is very special on its own.

Thank you.

Phonometrologist responds:

Beauty is measured by subconsciously knowing that all things evaporate eventually. I would make a case that the reason people find beauty in things such as ice sculptures, flowers, and sand castles is because they are not permanent. Just like a photograph being a snapshot of a time that has already passed, life is beautiful because it is fleeting. This music may be beautiful for some and it may not be for others just as a collapse would be beautiful for those that have been oppressed by the very thing that promised them justice as opposed to those that have prospered from it. Who am I to say? I really don't know for sure how life will turn out, but I do know a hope. The greatest miracles happen in secret.

You mention melody and quality that you find lacking in your own, and it just makes me really want to share with you. It's something you can do. I don't have anything unique in terms of creating music. You're just hearing the end result of a very simple process. If you were to hear what it sounded like as it was coming together, that would help get rid of the mystique. I do understand that it's your way to express praise toward it and I thank you very much for it, but please don't view me on a pedestal. We just need to practice listening. Everyone has a voice, but listening only to our voice may be deceiving. It's the reverberation that happens around us when we scream that we are to pay attention to.

[Wilieu - Wood Stalker]

Sound design is top shit. Even better than what I did last round. You should've made it into this round :(

Wilieu responds:

Nah, your music is leagues ahead of mine, especially in song structure/composition which is something I often neglect.
