Quirky and evocative, free and easy.

The mixture stressed me, I felt in a dead-end cube.
But then succeeds!

You have the gift to awaken our senses.
Bravo

Your talent to create avantgarde music is unbeaten.
This is really a great collage. And it is absolutely Specky.

:-)

of course I tweeted about it using hashtag #secretmixter

Very nice and evocative. I just imagined how people might look dancing to this: Extremly good!

I dont know how you manage to get all these brillant ideas to glue stems together that would - under normal circumstances - never fit. Love this

Very Speck, Very Shimoda. I could have guessed both without seeing the attributions. Immersive

Detuned magnificence. You are Picasso with a DAW! Impressive use of source material. You’ve created an expansive field of sound that has also expanded my mind and perception. Thank you.

“…Picasso with a DAW”

Thanks, I like that description.
Btw - fun fact - my actual initials are DAW.

That is quite an amazing coincidence. Or perhaps, it is providence. :)

Haunting, yet hopeful. The machine-like drums drive the tension and bind the experimental electro acid jazz… with the words creating a razor focus. I like this. A lot.

I woke up Sunday to see this had been posted. I had a 12 mile run I needed to get out on, but sat down with some coffee to listen before I did anything else with the day.

On so many notes, Speck, you achieved a reading of the samples I’ve put up and, strangely enough, the remixes as well. I could hear the intent of parts and the dissonance I use in remixing, I could recognize bits and pieces but they had been twisted, pitch-shifted, and all the rest to where they were like fleeting memories. I described the experience of hearing this to my wife thusly:

Listening to it was like looking at myself in a mirror, through someone else’s eyes.

Truly a shimmering image Speck, well done!

Thank you, shimoda. I enjoyed getting acquainted with your music and am happy you didn’t hate the results.

A very nice hook at the start. It’s very listenable (you’ve no idea how many times I’ve hit the backspace for this comment; but I trust you won’t get the wrong idea!)
