Thank you for listening! PLEASE consider posting a comment by clicking the comments link below! Thank you, and I'll see you next week!
Shawn Farley is going to spend 2009 posting a new song online once per week, for the entire calendar year. Sometimes he is writing and recording them the same week they'll be posted. He has never before been this prolific. He has never before been this terrified of failing.

Hi,
I have "Bloom" too, one of the first apps I ever stumbled onto and took a chance.
This genre is usually just simply a case of "hit or miss" with me, while always seemingly having it's place in my library... kind of like jazz. I don't know what kind of jazz or what about jazz I like until or unless I hear it. Same with electronica. I could say, "oh, I like ambient" and then someone plays me something ambient and I'll think, "right, but not this".
A friend of mine is an "electronica" nutcase and I'd be interested to see how he might categorize this track even further, genre-wise.
I do like it, you done did good with it.

Hmm. On the first listen this a bit boring in my taste - which probably makes it a good ambient song for someone else. It will probably fall into place between other songs, bet right now, as a single piece of work it doesn't stand out.

Unfortunately for me I'll be off line for the rest of july.
Fortunately it's because I'm going on holidays.
So no comments soon on 29 and 30 (30?? It's going fast!) from me.
But I will return turn turn turn - moronic laughter!

This is interesting. Everything about this, the loop based backdrop, the repetitive beat, and the random note synth parts all remind me of the Korg's Kaossilator. It's a little touchpad synth.
It's this kind of song from you that convinces me you'd do well scoring films. It has that feeling (to me) like something else should be going on beside it.
Ambient/synth/trance music doesn't really do much for me on its own, but as the background to something else I can get into it...or even just in the background while I'm doing other things. Tangerine Dream comes to mind. Even though this doesn't sound like them, it has the same impact on me.
It is cool, I have to say.

I thought it was very groovy the way trip-hop should be. Not sure what you're officially categorizing it as but well done sir! A great shuffling beat, a nice hooky loop and a good peppering of controlled chaos. Not really my genre either but I dug it a hell of a lot! And I paused Broken Social Scene just to listen to it so...
I don't know from genre, I let other people worry about that stuff. ;-)
Wow! What a contrast from last week's cut. I like the vocal effect - puts me in the mind of Kate Bush on "Waking The Witch." It would have been interesting to hear some verse thrown in, but that may be converse to the point. (???)
