Hello... Mezmer here...

Hello everyone. Mezmer = Michael Chocholak. New here. Familiar with a few of the names I've seen here, but only a few, so will continue cruising web pages & enjoying a goodly range of Emusic.

Wanted my mp3 tracks to settle in here 'n there after the death of Mp3.com (an unconscionable act in my opinion) before introducing myself as I feel my music is what it's all about & says it best.

Most of my electronic work is at DMusic
http://michaelchocholak.dmusic.com/
A cool web music community that is going through some changes and is looking for internal & external support. I'm new there too, but may be another good place to hang out.

There are also a few electronic and electroacoustic pieces at Soundclick http://www.soundclick.com/bands/3/michaelchocholakmusic.htm (towards the bottom of the page). And a few with Misha as well http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/mishanoghamusic.htm

A few at Vitaminic
http://stage.vitaminic.com/main/michael_chocholak/all_tracks/ (bottom of page)

And I've posted two new pieces at ic-musicmedia
http://www.ic-musicmedia.com/artist_pages/artistpage.php?id=42429 . There's some verbage there too. These folks allow deeplinking on a free account.

Mostly abstract. Of course I also recommend the other tunes that are more mainstream depending on your sonic tastes.

BTW, in reference to a previous post & perhaps due to my living farther west; I occasionally ride my horse, often wear my cowboy hat, have been known to carry a six gun (for varmints certainly), have lassoed a calf or two, and at one time filled our fruited plain with cherry trees before we started raising... Norwegian Fjord horses! (and still have a acre or two of apples).

Homepage is at http://www.eoni.com/%7Emishamez/badge2.htm.

Hope you enjoy.

MC

Hey man! Welcome! This rocks! I am listening to your songs right now.

Norwegian Fjord horse? I reckon that is what we call a "fjording". Nice beast!

Mezmer! This is kool stuff!

Thanks! Glad you liked the 'difficult listening hour'.

btw Michael is fine. Mezmer is just one of many nicks.

Yeah, love our fjordings; our Big Dogs; other than racing or jumping, the best horse in the world.

Grabbed your stream last night before Mp3.com became history. Cool grooves with drive & a good energy. Liked the changes you put the pieces through.

We also dig PKD in a big way. More and more 'reality' seems to carry his signature.

Also got Jeremy's Sandborne before it became the very wee hours; smooth sound with a nice rhythm; felt like it should be coming at me from the silver screen.

Much more to listen to. Main limitation is the 56k modem competing with our usually busy phone on a single line. But I will persist.

Is there someplace on this site that simply lists where one can specifically go to hear member's music? If not, is this a possibility?

Actually, Mosc JUST recently added an "Online Music" forum for that very purpose, which was a great idea. When I find a perminantish home for my tracks, I'll post in there as well. Seraph and some others have posted there. The whole MP3.COMpost situation has left many of us somewhat homeless in that respect.

Hola mi amigo!
Hope I see you 'round these parts as often as you can.
Dig the wide range of musical adventures by you and yours.
Now re-playing: "Latent Destination"

Good to hear from you AgentA! Yeah, I hope to be around, here 'n there. Cool

I think the mouse must have slipped when I posted Latent Destination cuz it got catagorized as Hip Hop. Ha! Laughing

Must have been a surprise to at least a few. But who knows, maybe EM will get some converts, eh?

See you on the webwaves.

cool avatar!

Thanks! I tried to capture the enigmatic essence of my pseudonymic namesake.

BTW if anyone is into Japanese cop movies, there's a great one by Kiyoshi Kurosawa called The Cure that obliquely draws on the work of Anton Mezmer.

I posted a few new pieces at my ic-musicmedia site;

http://www.ic-musicmedia.com/artist_pages/artistpage.php?id=42429

Started playing around with direct manipulation of wave forms and contrasting timbres. Haven't worked on pieces solely within the computer for quite a while, but now I'm thinking I might linger here for a stretch. Cool

Checking out that URL! Very Happy

I'm listening to your music right now, in particular Blue Star Kachina . That piece creates quite a mood. Edgey Ambient, I wouldn't have it any other way! Very cool piece. Can't wait to hear the rest of the page. BTW...great to see Thurston and Branca commenting on your music. Plus Gajoob and Fact Sheet Five...you must have been a taper!!!
