any comments or criticism appreciated

Reminds me of finding Heart Of Space radio in the mid 1980s!

Enjoyed it! Some really smooth poly-analog sounds. Great playing.

Very lovely piece fate.
Solemnly meditative. Free floating. Question and answering as the Tomita's style.
Nicely played.

hey thanks scott justin and annode. Kind of ironic, this here seems so 'square' to what youse are doing.

People sometimes don't like the abrasive Curtis chip sound, but it can be smooth. I didn't start out as a Dave Smith fan, but bought a Prophet 08 module, should have got the keyboard, and did a make up win win and got the mopho keyboard. The Prophet 08 is running quietly underneath most my tunes, gives everything a width, and mostly the patches I use have a wide frequency range.

thanks again, appreciated.

Really pretty track fate. Very warm and lush sound palette, great to hear the rhodes in there as well.

Very nice, reminds me of sitting on the hill relaxing at The Big Chill a couple of years ago.

Very nice and relaxing. Love that smooth portamento-ed lead sound.

Lush is a word that comes to mind, very smooth stuff this!

I give it a

hey thanks very much for this, encouraging, pleased you think this ok.



The Rhodes is behind me, so I have to do a swivel around, and the part is a little limited as a result.




That is Yamaha CS 10. Some years back here I read one of those Digital versus Analog threads here, and decided to give a frivolous waste of money a go, and have appreciated it since. I really like it's kind of chunky design Minimalism. I like having a long sustain sound for it, 4/10 portmento. Every now and again I'll mess with all the controls and find another patch, but slowly seem to drift back over time to the same sound it has now.



Haven't quite given up on that PsychoEchoes Lexicon patch yet, still on the JX10, which is where the lushness comes from, not too OTT I hope..


I thought here I would have a go at just recording the instruments. Only effects used ITB are hi and low cut here or there, and nothing on the master buss. Kind of stripping back and starting again approach.

Love the porty lead (they always get me). This type of music is something I grew up on, thanks to a forward thinking uncle. He had a Wasp and a collection of Tangerine Dream etc. Makes me want some 'out of the box instruments'. Thanks to you I am relaxed. Nice work.

Odd. I always seem to hear your pieces after midnight, but that is probably the perfect time to listen to them.

Anyway, I found this was a great way to relax after a day at the office. Some cool sounds on here and a nice melodic piece that helped me to unwind.

I enjoyed this a lot

thanks Morgaxx and seismic

anyone else?

another great track from you! will you compile them as an album someday?
