Departure from the Heartlands (ElectroProg - Seismic Sorrow)

[seismic1]

The "string" pad on this was put together in Audacity by PaulStretching a Z3ta+2 arp.

great use for paulstretch - works beautifully

Thanks very much for that

I find that quite often, Paulstretch can generate some some unwanted artefacts, when using a large stretch factor. In this case everything worked out quite pleasantly, although I wasn't performing an "extreme" stretch here.

Enjoyable ambient music. Pleasant sounscape with relaxing ambiance. I liked the nice arpeggios and tranquil melody lines.

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment, Markku. Glad you enjoyed it

I like the collage of sound your able to produce, at times it seems almost like each note is a different instrument. It's not what I usually listen to but I can appreciate it. I find the chord transition at about 1:02 very cathartic. The overall mix and production quality is excellent too. I also really dig the plucks at 3:09-3:11, it sounds like they're synced up or you're using FM with resonance to make them sound almost like bells or something metallic.

Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and comment, Beaches077. Glad you liked it

Some of the Z3ta+2 and Zebralette patches on here do actually sound different when re-triggered. It can make the composition process a little unpredictable, but ultimately quite interesting.
