Blackbird Lost in the Snowy Mountains

I've had a go at trying to create a piece based on a Haiku poem. More details on that in the SoundCloud track description.

Same old thing from me I'm afraid... I'm really enjoying exploring my dark side at the moment

Well, Andy, this is an excellent piece... no surprise there.  I would love to get insight into the methods used by yourself and John (Wooks).  Lately I've been expanding my repertoire to include some short instrumental pieces that I've been doing for music libraries that I deal with (these are speculative in hopes they will find their way into commercials TV or Film).  I often think when I'm working on that stuff "If I only knew what Andy and John know." 

Hi Phil
 
First of all, let me thank you for always giving my creations the time of day, which is not easy, I know... The stuff I have been creating for the last eighteen months or so has been a bit challenging, to say the least.
 
As for what I know, well, I suppose that, after something like twenty years of trying to make my own "music," I do know something, but I think that the most important thing of all, and I think that this goes for any genre of music (or art) that you have to enjoy what you do and take inspiration from what your peers are doing.
 
I have been listening to (and enjoying) some pretty strange stuff from an early age, and this is one of the reasons that I have gravitated to what I am now doing.
 
For some reason, I find it relatively easy, too, and this isn't said in a bragging fashion. It appears that, after all this time, I have found my niche and I have grown with confidence. Perhaps too much, and at some point I will need to try something different, just to push the envelope and learn new tricks again. For a short period, just a year or so ago, I had a go at mixing stems of proper songs and that certainly was educational and made for a refreshing change.
 
I'd love to hear some of that stuff you are doing, although, as it is for sound libraries, I totally understand your choice to keep it private.
 
From a Sonar perspective, I could, and would enjoy giving you more insights to my current creation processes. But not here, methinks... I may be tempted to create a separate topic on this and post it in the techniques forum...
 
Cheers Phil, and thanks again for listening

Big thanks Mark

I can picture this being being mated with some interesting fractal art video that pulls the viewer into depths of infinity. Would also work well as an intro. Nevertheless, it stands on its own merits quite good, as it certainly paints the landscape you mentioned as being the inspiration for the piece. Endless possibilities Well done!

Thank you very much Dean, and thanks also for taking the time to listen to my stuff. As you have now heard, I don't do the "normal" stuff around here haha!
 
cheers

Another nice ambient/electronic/space piece!   As always, it's got your stamp on it.    I liked the "crickets" and "babbling brook" that made guest appearances.  

Haha! Thanks Steve! You support is appreciated, as always
 
Don't know how them damn crickets got into the machine!
 
cheers Steve, and thanks again for listening to my stuff
