Okay peeps,
 
I've managed to churn another toon out of the Happy Music Mill.
 
https://soundcloud.com/synkrotron/m81
 
Typical Synkrotron stuff here, so if you do not like my take on "electronic" music then turn around... Nothing to see (hear) here.
 
If you are interested in what I "make," then have a listen, see what you think.
 
I will warn you now, this is eight minutes long. No vocals. No "middle eight." No real instruments were used... Just me, X2 and a few VST synths. But it changes throught, based on a simple note progression, so I am hoping that it will at least be a little bit more interesting than my other "long" toons.
 
I'm out for much of the day, so I will be back later to see how this is cooking.
 
I also intend to write a fairly lengthy track by track break down of this composition. Which sounds and effects were used and what have you. At least, that's the plan.
 
back later
 
cheers

Hi Andy, this is a nice soundscape.  I like how it slowly keeps on evolving.

Fantastic work Andy.  I loved it from end to end.  I'm looking forward to you posting your track listing, so I can peek into your music creation process. :)

Andy, I enjoyed all 8 minutes of it (great way to start my morning off)........it took me on a very enjoyable journey of sounds. The composition, performance, and mix is excellent. Reminded me of some of the New Age cd's I used to listen to (Enigma, Andreas Vollenweider, and (yes) even Pink Floyd). 
Well done mate!!
 
Enjoying Nessus very much atm. (I don't have access to Soundcloud at my workplace, so have to listen on my Android phone....which I rarely/lazy to do). Another very good composition........I just may have to spend the day in Synkrotronland.  
 

Great song, Andy.  This set the mood for the entire day.  You have truly mastered the art of mixing through your headphones.  Keep em coming.

Nice tune I like the sense of tension, it would have perhaps been nice to hear a little resolution to that sense but.....
 
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Andy, this was a good way to start out my day. We may be 11,740,000 light years apart but perhaps we are connected by music. Perhaps ET will give us a call and send us some music he created. Well...I know, crazy Billy is always out there on the edge...lol
 
Keep up the good work.
 
Cheers,
 
Billy
 
PS...I re read my post and I should explain. M81 is a group of galaxies for you guys who perhaps did not get the reference. I have way to much information in my head...lol I think I need some off site storage...lol
 
 

Hi Peeps 
 
I have literally just walked in having had a nice day out with an old chum of mine. I quickly logged on to the interwebs to see how my new tune was going and I am blown away with the responses so far. And it has had 27 listens in half a day! Unheard of for one of my tracks haha!
 
Unfortunately, I don't have time at the moment to respond to the above because my tea is here and after that I'm cuddling up on the couch to watch the final Hobbit film with my missus, so it I might not be back until the morning (in the UK).
 
Sorry about that...
 
catch you all later
 
cheers

Out of those 27, I gave it a good 3-4 listens. :))
I too love the Hobbit and LOR series.....good stuff. Enjoy your tea and movie, but not sure about the cuddling with your chum bit...

Yeah man!  I really like this one.
