:jazzband:

dramatic track. cinematic perhaps. 

Gets pretty damn cool in the middle but that breaks could be a bit louder it seems to me? maybe?

Some real wild moments.

Would be down for a Squarepusher Rossz

quite good!

is it weird that im getting AE vibes from this?

One digs this

The drums are SO under-mixed, such a shame...

I'm getting jazzband vibes from this

i hate squarepusher he is too good.

I feel like his drums are the most technically impressive out of those warp guys.

I like the idea of this more than the actual execution. Like trying to mix orchestral music with rhythmic IDM. But it still feels too much like two disparate elements. Like a string quartet with a beat tacked on.

It's a cool arrangement, though, I'd like to hear it just as a string quartet.

Is Squarepusher himself writing this, i.e. the string parts? If he devotes more time to stuff like this, it could become great. Actually I want to see Squarepusher feat. Attacca Quartet, and give him full rein over the mix and permission to resample and downright mutilate the strings.

And jazzband, hehe... Isn't it just the price of failure if you're trying to do something new, that it might turn out corny and lame? Still got to take that chance.
