Large Hairy Critter
LHC Possibly or something else. Thanks for listening, thanks even more for comments.

LHC
kinda reminds me of the floyd, "on the run"
great sounds and repeating motifs
i like the buildups and releases.....
you need more instrumentation on these things....
as cool as the synth tones and pads are, it needs........ more.
you should try adding some other 'acoustic' elements.....
chimes, coins, rice in a bowl, dropping glass, anything ambient and natural, mixed in with all the synth stuff.
that would be a lot of fun.

That one kept me on my toes until the end. I like Batsbrew comment about adding an acoustic element or two to the mix. However, this stands on its own and is very timely.

Interesting mix of sounds and synths... I like Bat's suggestion to add to it but it does stand on it's own pretty well.
To me, generally a 5 minute plus song is a bit too long. But that's just me....
Thumbs up!

Lynn: Thanks for lending me your ear pleased you enjoyed. Bat has given me some ideas I have some toys in the sound studio that need to see the light of a Mic or two.  Herb: Always pleased when you pop in for a listen, I know but it sort of grew, you know how it happens. Thanks for the ears and the comment.

Nice sonic journey! How many synths/sounds did you use? Did you use a lot of automation or did you program the sounds/fx like that?

It's totally original, but I hear a little bit of Tangerine Dream and Tonto's Expanding Head Band in the song. Good moody stuff.

I like the sounds, but it feels more like a synth sounds demo than anything else to me - could use something more delicate and melodic here and there to make it feel more complete.

Scott: Many thanks for your ears my fine fiddling friend. Mark: Start trek meets Pink Floyd thanks I really do appreciate your ears and you input. Mike: Appreciate you popping in, RDD2 nice guy liked his Gin tonic a lot Mark: (zybermark) Thanks for having a listen, I used eight synths, four hardware synths Roland JV1080, Novation KS Rack, Korg O5R/w, Roland JP8080. The four soft synths are Arturia ARP 2600V, Prophet 5V, CS80V and Dim Pro. The KS, the JV and the Dim Pro are modified patches, the Arturia synths apart from the CS80V which is just a tweaked patch are all original patches programmed by myself. Any FX is tweaked in some way. Quite extensive automation, for which I found the lanes very useful. Thanks again for your interest and comment. Jan: Thanks you, I knew those nights listening to Tangerine Dream and Tonto's Expanding Head Band in blue smoky filled rooms would pay off one day. Your ears and input are always appreciated.

I really liked the whale conversations 1/3 of the way in. This one kept me interested all the way through. Not a common thing with me and this genre. Maybe because R2D2 is one of my favorite actors! LOL

When I listen to something like this, I like to unlock my mind and see what kind of imagery it conjures up.
I'm getting wolves. Maybe three of them. Grey eyes. Snow. They've picked up the scent, and are hot on the trail of their prey. It is doomed.The glint of moonlight on their silvery fur. No crashing through the woods, but swift, silent stealth.
I like soundscapes. The music is the brush, and your mind is the canvas.
Nice one, Wookiee.
