YAAAAAY.

You make me feel like I am not at all productive.
To quote Derris again - "prolific".

'The Man at the Edge of the World' Is my favourite!

The whole release is good!

really really great!

I hope you realise there is a sound and feel, that permeates everything you do that is highly original and refreshing and I must agree with Tom, you make me feel lazy for not releasing anything ever

Really enjoying this. Has a fantastic flow to the album.

Great work as always.

If I had to pick I'd say 'The Man at the Edge of the World' is my fave.

*sigh* I already have your last 2 releases in my next music tipps, and this one will join them for sure!

Don't forget that besides the music, he still finds time to make a water controller, the midi genesis / sms, pokey stuff, marriage, etc etc etc.

Anyway, downloading!

Thanks guys!

I hope you like it.

PS > I'm so sorry for posting so much of my music, you guys must think I'm a real asshole or something.

WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cant wait to give it a listen tonight!

You're an asshole because you're keeping your biggest project a secret:



You've cloned yourself, it's the only explanation for your amazing productivity!

i like this! third laser's pretty cool. man at the edge of the world i like a lot as well

Rejuvination is a really beautiful track with a perfect title.

Thanks so much for taking the time to download this, everyone! I appreciate it

that cover is amazing

Thanks! But please give Jacko the credit - he took this awesome photo of a blue-tongue lizard (I think that's what it was).

In India, I had major issues with the third laser of my water music machine. Hence the name. This look of apathy or ambivalence that the lizard clearly has is the look that I can imagine my third laser giving me, so it was the perfect title.

Yes that is true. Always between the hours of 5.30 to 7.00 am and 8.00 to 9.30 pm.

A lot more rhythmically oriented than your other releases, at least from my POV. There's some Steve Reiching going on earlier, but sometimes the harmonies clash a bit.

I especially like the last three tracks, I'm a sucker for drums. Burglar Time! and Planet X are my personal favs of the album.

Oh, and cuuuuurse yoouuu for being able to create such a quality release in six hours. I was looking like my avatar when I read that, only green with envy.

hehe yeah. sorry about the clashing, but i think it sounds okay sometimes. not all the time, just sometimes.

really dig it... d/led it via the nanoloop forum. It's so nice to hear such expressive sounds out of the 2.3.. really lovely.

I made a quick video for "Upon Returning to Planet X":

Yes, NL 2x uses FM synthesis.

Glad you liked the Indian urbanscape!

Thanks for listening

Wait....This is the water and laser stuff?

No, no. Just some Nanoloop2.3 action, all on it's lonesome self.

Okay, I really dig this man. Thanks for sharing!

When can we expect some of the water + laser stuff?

I just listened to it... all of it's great.

The noise swooshing (waves on a beach maybe?) at the start of 'Man at the edge of the world' reminds me of 'sea of memories' by rushjet1.

Its some of the best gameboy music I've ever heard (maybe because it uses less gameboy-ey pulse wave sounds).

Well done... and thanks for giving it away for free!

AM DOWNLOADING.

*Am listening (massively thick bass straight away Niiiiice)

*Am gobsmacked! You are alone is the highlight for me, it's absolutely fantastic!

I MISSED THIS NOOOOOOOO
DOWNLOADING NOW

Thanks for listening Esopus!

If anyone cares, most of the loops that appear on this record also appear in a live and improv setting on a live release. You can download it here. 



"Chris Soole and little-scale: Live at the Wheatsheaf (2009)"

a recording of a live, improvised performance at the wheatsheaf hotel, adelaide. recorded on the 2 march 2009. chris soole on saxophone and ewi, little-scale on game boy advance and nintendo ds.

I hope that if you liked Third Laser, you might also like this recording.

@ little-scale

Do you have a release that contains "perspectives"/"objectives",
or is this a natural progression of those earlier tracks?

such courtesy, i could have easily found that on my own.
