Thank you Simon. You've been overwhelmingly generous to your Iris subscribers!

Cheers, Ben - I appreciate your appreciation

Just had a more serious look at the #20 set. Lovely, interesting Irregularities is a stand out, Pastoral is interesting and could work well with some pluck sounds, spaced apart. Lots of possiblities to explore.

Made a track from Patchpool Iris Subscription set #20:

Dark Places

Pastoral

And

the Patchpool Modelled Realtiy patches for Chromaphone:

Muted Dream Harp

Bowed Detune Strings

Strange Drums

Asian Metal

No ekstra effects, although I tweaked the reverb on the muted Dream Harp.

Hi, loved the track! THX!

Your welcome! I'm really enjoying working with Simons sounds.. Too bad I haven't Reaktor as I'd love to try the No Boundries sounds..

Yeah, nice track Wade - very much story telling - sitting at night on a wooden bench in front of a little house in the dark woods listening to the creatures of the night, a small bird singing although it should be sleeping, but in this world everything is different anyway.

Nice desription. The sounds in set#20 can be used in a myriad of ways. Evoking images of Deepest night, or the full light of midday..

I've done a lot of camping, and yes birds do sing/signal at night. Especielly if they sense a change in the weather.

Here comes the demo for a new Iris patch from the upcoming subscription Set No. 21 - Calmer than Life - some VVVerb was used:

Fitting title, but still dripping with emotion, sad but elated. Lots of different dimensions and depths.

Great sound set, Can't wait to use it. I have a request if possible sometime in the future, can you do any sets with human voices or animals sounds?

Thank's Bob - hiring a vocalist for making samples (also for Iris) is definiteley on my todo list, I have made some Iris patches with animal sounds actually (or was it only 1 sound), I will go through my library and see if there are some more animal sounds that inspire me. Then when spring comes it's time for new field recordings anyway, including birds, goose, ducks, dogs, cats and maybe a visit in the nearby zoo.

I always featured the sound of Kathy Berberian who has done a lot of avante garde performances and has one of those felxible voices that allows her to create so many interesting inflections.

Material like this would be so fantastic a resource to have to work with and with granular control could create some extraordinary variations.

Just my thoughts.

Yeah, but artists like that don't like to be hired nor sampled
I tried hiring a famous avantgarde vocal ensemble from the UK last year and they refused, they did not want to be sampled at all. So it ain't easy finding a true vocal artist for sampling but I'll find someone eventually.

Thank's for the lyrics, Wade
