Whilst cleaning part of the Time dilation chamber
of the millennium falcon the other day some numpty switched it on. Well I found myself in several places simultaneously. In one of these locations I found five Oberheim SEM’s a couple of simple sequencers, two keyboards, a stereo pair of microphones and a stereo tape deck. Well this is what happened whilst I was there which apparently was but half a nano second in relative time. Seme5 Comments and constructive criticisms welcome. Wooks

There is something very simple and very relaxing about this number that really draws you in to it. Nice playing! Good stuff. I like the couple of Lionel Hampton vocalizations during the song.

Oberheim SEM? I'm not familiar, but I'm sure it's some kind of famous synth. It sounds good. I've grown to love synthesizers over the years. You need some Sennheisers to record those synthesizers in something else that rhymes with synthesizers. Time is relative. The more time you spend with your relatives? The slower it seems to move...

I like it a lot. I enjoy the formal structure and the melodic movement through the song. That fast runs are cool too. :-)

Another furry paw moment that relaxes the furry mind and stimulates those of us out here in the cartoon. Very interesting arrangement there Wookie. Enjoyed!! Peace and Blessings, John

Thank you Freddy glad you enjoyed my decomposition. Thanks for listening Robby the Oberheim Synth Expansion Module to give it it's full title was quite famous and popular in it's day. As for time it is but an illusion with lunch time being doubly so. Mike you are too kind, whilst a lot of what you hear from me is originated from my limited keyboard skills, I am quite glad that the bakers provide some very useful Midi editing tools to tidy up these furry paws lack of dexterity. Thank you for your ears and kind words John appreciated. Thanks Al. Tim, a classic eh?, again your ears and comments are most kind and I thank you for both.

The melodic structure is quite relaxing, but the synth sound seems to jar a little. I wasn't quite sure how to feel while listening. I really liked those two or three off key lines, they kept me on my toes and made sure my brain was still engaging.

My thanks for taking the time to listen and comment Wayne, I like a bit of dissonance now and then as it was in a minor key they are all "technically" in key just a slightly odd progression and the two stabs are all thirds apart I think. Which particular "Synth" sound jarred? Thanks again and thanks to all who popped in did or did not listen and left quietly.

hey John! haven't listened to one of your productions in a while and have missed your creativeness! this is no exception! I would suggest bringing the drums out a little more, they seem hidden and a little in the background. nice job!

My thanks Reece for lending your beagle ears to my tinkering, the drum thing is a sort of ha ha thought as it takes over from the initial metro gnome so was never really intended to be overly present, but I appreciate your thought. Dan, not me must be one the cat, thanks for your ears and comment.

Hi Wookiee, the synth in question is the main piano from the start. It might just be my ears, but the other instruments seem to be more relaxed whereas the piano part jabs and has less tail. Like I said, might just be my ears and is a personal preference only.

Hi Wayne the whole thing is created using just one type of soft synth the Oberheim SEM V from Arturia which is just a two oscillator synth and was intended to be a little harsh as my playing deteriorated. Thank you David muchly appreciated.

Nice composition you got going there... It reminds a little of LarryAlex's stuff (if it were done with piano and strings). I'm not a big SEM fan myself, but I think it does have a stark tone that works well for this.

Thanks Steve, I have been deliberately restricting the palate of synths to use just recently to see what I can achieve. The SEM seems to lend it self to bass and possibly with the extras that Arturia have added some sequencing probabilities. Thanks again for the ears.

Simple and mathematical, and reminiscent of some unpublished Bach nocturne, except with nice analog synthyness. :)

Nice piece, John. Somewhat more melodic than usual, but that made it interesting to follow the theme as it wandered and developed. Some very nimble playing there too I might add, especially for someone with big furry paws .

if you put a heavy distorted bass guitar part, coupled with some progressive drum tracks and choice elec, add a genesis-era peter gabriel vocal, voila.

Wookiee Thanks Walt, wondered where you been hiding.
Alas, I've been focused on some of my other creative endeavors recently (video game/engine development). I'm still doing some music but not as much as I'd like!
