Very nice music!Galbanum wrote:My new minimal ambient piano composition "With Purpose" is featured on the front page of Sound Cloud's Explore Classical! Kewl.
B2 used extensively in this piece as you can likely tell. It's almost part of the instrument in this case! Take a listen!

Other more subtle examples there too...
New features in B2 are done. New build to try shortly...
Thanks man. Means a lot.snigelx wrote:Nice that you're getting some music polished up/completed this Summer. You're really good. It's nice to hear a developer use his own soft so much as you seem to do. I *think* this is a rare thing indeed. Excellent deep works, Andrew.
Edit: Also,... bursting at the seams w excitement to get a new B2 build, but you knew that

Good point. I can add that it shows others what can be acheived, but not limited to this. It shows others that you have a deeper relationship with your software projects, which you then hope other people will invest in later. Now, I realise many developers have full-time schedules with little to no time remaining for music projects after work and family, but it is damn comforting to see when this is not the case. I think if people would toss their television sets off the balcony then they would have a lot more time. j/k...kind of.Galbanum wrote:Yes, I think it is important for developers to take time to use the products they create in real-world projects. It helps us retain perspective which is invaluable in assessing things like work-flow, usability, CPU usage, and preset design.
Wow, interestiing histories there! Nice that you are open to mixed styles, as it relates to your customers, because you are using the reverbs on a variety program material. I am also big on ambient but I came into my passion of synthesizers through the early-mid 80's with such synth bands and groups like Kraftwerk and edgy body music like Front242. In the early 90's i was fell deeply for the FAX and Warp Records sound so I went into ambient techno 'braindance' mode. It wasn't until the millennium turn that I becamen enamoured by electro-acoustic music with and even mixture of elements. After the 90's I could no longer identify with a lot of the rock pop styles out there so love for sound synthesis deepened even greater...Also, enjoy traditional folk musics and all instrumentation involvedFor me personally, I first got interested in electronic music via ambient music. I had no synthesizer, so I taught myself piano. Eventually I got equipment, and then became more involved with ambient music and eventually dance music. Dance music was not as natural to me at first, and I had to go through a trial by fire in Amsterdam where at the time everything had to be pounding at 135bpm. Both EDM and ambient are of course very dependent on novel sound-design, so I pretty immediately got involved in the technical aspects of synthesis... (Actually I was already interested in such things in late high school and had applied to Stanford CCRMA at the time not realizing it was a graduate-only program.) Getting deeper and deeper into sound-design eventually lead to DSP and these days I really enjoy staring at tools like Mathematica, Matlab, Visual Studio, and other esoteric things for long, long hours and listening to tens of thousands of impulse responses...
EXACTLY, that is another good point. Through your own use of your products you can more easily continue development to meet certain of your needs, as well as those mentioned by customers. More often than not, most of us can benefit from the implementations you make for yourself in the software.But it is very important to forget all this sometimes and simply use your own products in real music. That is generally where the inspiration for new things comes from...
It comes through. I know it is a good feeling to get it out in the open when you are proud of it, and even more so when so many people identify with what your doing. Keep doing what you're doingThe piano material is very personal to me and is something very close to my heart and soul. It's very exciting to finally release it into the world. And it is nice to have something that normal-every-day-salt-of-the-earth people can relate to. ...

Intriguingly that is..painfully.. full of truth LOL. Sorry to hear your story there. Had a similar experience w a woman when I was doing a lot of work out of town some years ago (no, there was no other in the picture). There are/will be certain paths laid out in front of us. Do we take them or not?...One lifetime. Everyone of us makes mistakes. That is how we learn. I'll leave it at that. One can channel their life experiences back into music and sound design. It is not *always* easy to be extremely honest with music when someone else is in the picture. I say that loosely because I know there are tonnes of exceptions, but it really depends on what kind of a brain we have. I think the more analytical thinker full of book logic is prone to zoom in on things and make them incredible. Conversely, one who is more outward and juggling time and losing is more prone to not get as many personal projects completed in the quantity desired. I don't mean to start a discussion on it. It's just that you more than likely made the right choice for this time in life.Galbanum wrote:.. self-deprecating humor is mildly cathartic...

[/quote]Missed the classic rock (unfortunately had to pick up the pieces there later on) and metal never landed with me because I hated my older brothers, who listened to all the 'greats' ;P It was my destiny to avoid a metal "phase".classic rock -> metal -> uTurn -> Hearts of Space -> Orb/Orbital/Aphex Twin/Prodigy -> trance -> house
and piano and classical all throughout that... post HoS.
Sad to hear that.

Withxall due respect, it's not really something we should take further on open forum IMHO. Nice of Andrew to reveal his dedication to his project but I don't think it is something to debate here.EvilDragon wrote:Sad to hear that.

Indeed. But there is a price to pay for the pursuit of perfection... usually it not something you really want to pay... I would do things much differently given the opportunity, but sadly I'm not sure I will be...EvilDragon wrote: Sad to hear that.
