Yes, of course it's a u-he Diva showcase... though the organ is Zebralette:

I may be biased but I love it

Being a synth geek, that timpani-esque bass sound reminds me of an MKS-50 preset that forms an essential part of my "analogue memory". I.e. in the dark times where I hadn't had analogue synths it was one of the sounds that I was looking for, but never found.

I could swear I'd heard the melody before, but then I can't help to hear loads of things in loads of tunes.

I like the modulations through keys but I wonder if a second theme (like in a sonata) would add some extra spice, i.e. make less modulations more "meaningful" (for lack of a better word)? Or are we listening to a prelude with more pieces to come?

There's definately not-so-subtle a hint at the emporer's march at the end (Howie in black hoodie). And a police sirene (also Howie in black hoodie?)

This touches me very deep. So much interesting and thoughtful detail, stunning.
Howard, you're not only a very good sound designer but a very good musician, too. Thanx a lot for sharing this piece of your soul.

DIVA makes some lovely sounds
if i werent already living on beans, id have to get in to that
and yup Howard, some beautiful work there, kinda reminds me of chi mai in parts, and can hear what Urs means about the emperors march, deep n dark stuff.

thanks for sharing

Great stuff and gorgeous sounds! A little bit reminiscent of Fauré's Pavane here and there, but still a lovely melody on its own.

Unabashed electronica with a strong melodic structure! Tunes like these are the reason I got hooked on synths. Well done Howard, this is going straight on my mp3 player.

Thanks guys

Beautiful.

A whole CD like this please.

Awesome sounds and composition
I couldn't have resisted to put way more trills in there though
You should really post more music!

Cheers
Dennis

Gorgeous sounds and melody.
Reminds me some other tune or two at once. Can't really remember.

Howard is it possible to hear Wave or Flac of this melody?

Great composition and the sounds are a perfect fit for the piece. Quite a sad piece, I thought.

Nice work

Dive sounds pretty good too

Great composition, and sounds.
Love it.

Very tastefully done and I love the timpani-esque bass sound that Urs mentioned.

cool, lovely grand sound, kind of olden times feel.

It's a treat to hear this mello, tasteful, classically-styled track from such a consummate player as Howard. Worth checking all the U-He threads just for this!
