The Dark Side

A little ambient track I have been working on over the last weekend. Any morse code aficionados out there may notice that this spells out Biodiode, cheesy I know but it works.

    That is nice, I likes me some chill-out now and again. Nothing wrong with the morse code idea, Rush used it as a starting point for 'YYZ'.

    Thanks James. The morse code was one of my mad scientist ideas when I started adding the sound effects and transitions.

    I like this a lot.  It's the kind of music I would listen to if I'm working around the house because it seems uplifting to me.  It has a very tasty choice of colors and textures.  Well done.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Thanks Lynn, I am trying to broaden my use of chord progressions. Once I got the canvas set on this the melody just wrote itself.

    Nice... sorta relaxing, but with a bit of an edge too.    Like Daryl I thought the pulses were a cool addition.
