Title: the sound that kills and heals

hey--

I just wanted to say thanks to the folks who checked out my music and the article and wrote back-- it's really great to get responses and feedback on the music.
 
This message (below) was funny, Mark, because I did that piece for a film, and when I sent it, they did indeed call me up to find out whether it was supposed to be making "that sound." People really have different responses to harsh sounds like that (it's actually a bass-generated sound)-- it's interesting how much variation there is in what pleases different ears.

I really loved your tracks, and had a funny, though all too familiar, experience
while listening to it at work.  I'm listening to one of the tracks and a high
school student that works for our company doing odd jobs comes over to say
hello.  He looks at my computer and says, "What the FUCK is that?"  I said, "The
music?" and he said, "No, that sound!"  Ha hahaha.  He thought it was a sound
effect played by the computer when moving elements on the document. (as usual I
was in Photoshop)  When I confirmed he was talking about a harsh sounding synth
sound, I explained to him that it was indeed part of the music, and that I was
enjoying it.

Don't worry Dan, you're in good company.  While playing my own music I often
get, "Is it supposed to be making that sound?"
