- Hello Dereck,
Thanks for your kind words. I have never heard anything from Digital Sex, so the familiar feeling must originate from somewhere else. I will definitely listen to your music again (here and on your MySpace site), so maybe I will remember what other music it reminds me of. Anyway, good stuff!
Cheers,
Michel. -

- Hi Dereck,
thanx for the request and your cool comment.
I really like "No flight attendant", it reminds me a kind of atmosphere you can feel in an opus composed around 1950 by Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer called "Symphonie pour un homme seul". That was one of the first work of what we call "The concrete music" and especially the first steps in the world of the "sampling". Anyway, just to tell you that your music has something "out of time".
Respect ! -

- Hello Dereck,
Great atmospheric stuff you've got here. It has something pleasantly familiar about it, but I cannot determine what it is.
Cheers,
Michel. -

- Great bass playing Dereck, bass lament reminded me of a tune I did for a theater play, I will uploaded it soon (Juicio suspendido) And I wonder if you got in the same mood, I mean: When I recorded my tune i got it on first take, after I recorded it i found out it was too long for the play, so I edit to fit the momentum, and neverwanted to record it again afterwards because I got in such depressed mood... But maybe I'm just creasy. I like Vibro, have you tryed a fretless melody on top? Take care and thanx for your request
