Two pieces, SaxoSex & OMG.

Now for OMG. Didn't enjoy this one as much. There were some really great moments (my favorite was the line at the very end); however, given that the interest in this sort of music is primarily timbral, I felt that the music didn't have enough variety of timbre to hold my attention. It sounds like most of the variations were generated by playing different slices of the sample at different pitches. If I were making this piece, I might have incorporated more effects processing: flanging, distortion, filtering, ring mod, etc., to create more timbres. If your software can do it, feeding samples into a (modular or semi-modular) synthesizer can give you a lot of new sounds, because you can use the synth's filters, envelopes, LFOs, etc., to process the sound. This doesn't violate the rule of using only the sample as a sound source, as long as you don't use the synth's oscillators or noise generator as sound sources.

Also, in the future, consider putting your files up on a website which will allow easier access; preferably playable in the page itself. I expect you'll get more feedback.

Thanks for your comments~

The OMG piece is supposed to be pretty raw, and have less things. I opted out of processing it and just messed around with what you said there, mostly trying to get different effects with the least amount of complication. The problem is that it can sound a little flat, sure, but it was the risk I took when I wrote it~

And, well, it was the best solution I could find for hosting my files. I'm aware they don't playback instantly, sure, but it hasn't stopped people from listening to the things. At least not a lot of people I hope!
