Recently uploaded is a new track of mine entitled "Harmonics Research"; with thanks to James the web designer for putting it up. Time now to learn how to do it myself!
Best wishes,
Adam

If you are not familiar with them already, check out Robbert Fripp's soundscapes for inspiration. Especially the latest are sufficiently optimistic to fit your style; the older ones are a bit sad.
He uses a memory / delay machine to create several layers of chords played on top of each other and his guitar as controller. Very impressive, especially if you realise he is doing it in realtime and for the most part (based on) improvisation.
Btw., how did you create the bell sounds in "harmonics Research"? Some filter arrangement or with an additive synth?

Nice!

Thanks alot, Brainbox!
I've heard about alot of his work as well as his collaborations with Brian Eno, who I actually do listen to quite alot. I've been meaning to get into Fripp too, but I'll definitely check him out now. Thanks for the recommendation. His techniques are very innovative.
I manually played harpsichord samples, set to high frequency resonances, on a sampler then which was then routed through heavy reverb' and delay effects processing (in that order ). I like to play all my music by hand, including the drones and extended chords.

I did use a Nordlead (old model) and K5000 up until some time ago, on which I liked to create sounds from scratch. But sampling is more productive, especially comparing it with trying to program sounds on a K5000.

Ah, samples. Must be my Freudian forgetfulness...

Yeah, I do actually prefer to synthesize my own sounds also from scratch. Nord synths are very, very nice. Do you have any links to your music, Brainbox? I'd love to have a listen.

Hence I switched to photography. See PM. I still use my monitors regularly to listen to music when I'm working at the PC.
