Hi, here's Space Oddities my first EP (which has nothing to do with Mr. Bowie):

http://bzur.bandcamp.com/album/space-oddities

It's free for all, hope you like it (any feedback is highly appreciated).

A special thanks to the OSC friends which made it possible.

Congratulations

I liked all of these. Especially Kepler 12b and η Carinae which I think I heard sometime last year. Lots of nice Vangelis-like sounds on here. Nice mixing too.

Good work

I'm liking what I'm hearing!

Am I to assume that these were all OSC pieces? Or were they inspired by pieces that you did for OSC?

If they're for OSC, I'd like to hear a little more about the synths that you used.

Very rich and full soundscapes you have here.

The first two tracks are from OSC 32, made with Zebralette only, slightly retouched from the original ones.
The third is made with my full VSTi arsenal (and it's much more overcompressed than the previous two!); in detail: ACE, Alchemy Player, z3ta+, TAL Vintager, Farbrausch. Drumaxx, Contralogic rps-1 and some samples for the drums. I also used TAL Audio VST FXs (Tal reverb II, Tal DUB II, TAL Chorus), TLs Maximizer, SHEPPi Stereo enhancer. As you can see, a lot of freebies

The first of many I hope!

Nice track selection, they work very well together. Wasn't familiar with 'Eta Carinae' and am loving it. The hit single of the bunch!

Nice album cover too. Your work has much in common with Escher - multidimensional impossibilities made real.

Great music!

Great EP!! It will get many more listenings to come, over here!

Downloaded and loving it... had the first two already from your Zebralette submissions, but I think I'll be keeping these versions. Hadn't heard Eta Carinae before, but it's my favourite of the bunch!

Great stuff...

yeah, cool. eta carinae for the win!

(great cover art, too)

(edit: actually, all 3 are great. maybe the other 2 are even more impressive, given the compositional constraints of zebralette-only. they do seem to 'breathe' a bit more (the 'lack-of-compression' thing?), as well. yada yada... anyway... real cool)

Nice work on this. Kepler 12b's my favorite, but I enjoyed all three. Thanks, bzur.

JJBiener · Post by **JJBiener** » Sat May 26, 2012 6:07 am

Very nice, bzur. I missed the Zebralette OSC so I hadn't heard any of the songs before. I liked all three.

bzur · Post by **bzur** » Sat May 26, 2012 8:53 am

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

@manducator: I hope so!

@GMoneh: thank you... about Eta Carinae, it was intended as the main track, in fact!

@mrblitz: I'm not a big fan of heavy compression, but this time I've decided to experiment something different

@D.H. Miltz: thanks for your time

@JJBiener: Zebralette OSC has been one the best ever. It took a lot for me to decide how to vote, top notch stuff there.

Congratulations for the EP release, very good work.
I enjoyed all three, maybe Kepler 12b slightly over the other two.
I like the way the atmosphere is built with the quality of synth orchestration.

Cheers
