Hell man, that's well good - Love off the squiggley wiggles throughout it all. My favourite bit is at 2:52 & 3:27, sounding like a spectral plate of glass smashing into infinity.

cheers. the squidge is from my shapeshifter. super hard to tame, but when you get a good loop running, it sounds fantastic. 

yo sup

Yah, so I went to a super-secret literally-underground record store in Tokyo that's hidden in an old subway tunnel and guarded by blind ex-yakuza-- and I could not find this compilation there (they carry all the best in true IDM sonics).  They said they'll have it soon, but they were also strung out on PCP, snake fighting.

Hey

Yo

Sup

dude werz my comp innit

The process is underway

it's prob too late now and I don't even make music but another idea for this would've been to take the sparse, off-kilter rhythms/sounds of grime in the style of, say, Logos or Rabit, and write a tune in such a way that it sounds like someone's hearing with their headphones on vs off.

I've just been listening to a lot of grime and the weird constant on/off rhythms reminded me of this thread.

is squidge actually established techno/idm slang or you just parroting afx

'Squidge'/'Squidgy' is a general British slang for something amorphous or malleable to the touch (e.g. you'd say 'that stress ball is quite squidgy') - anything that sound kinda akin to a gloopy/syrupy blob being dropped or poured to the floor and making a noise would be a squidgy sound

Gosh that's actually a harder term to define than I anticipated !
