My first foray into electronic music.  Pretty much just started out as me messing around and experimenting for a bit of fun, but it built up into something I am actually quite happy with.
 
Recorded in Sonar Professional, entirely using soft synths bundled with Sonar (or otherwise available for free).

I enjoyed that. Sometimes our best work comes from just messing around or experimenting. (That's how I had my Son). Kidding. But yeah... Nice track!

Cheers!
 
I should be honest and say I know very little about electronic music, to the point I'm not sure what genre this would be defined as.  I composed the main melody whilst messing about on my guitar and built it up around that, playing around with synths and putting in whatever sounds I thought fit.
 
It put me totally outside of my own personal comfort zone, and I had blast putting it together.

It's good to experiment and you got something nice out of it. Kind of has an ambient, new age feel to it as well but I think electronic fits too.

It's got that Rave-y synth sound. What the Helsinki! Sounds good to me. Kind of a rave slow jam combo. The ending is a nice fit as well.
 
thanks for the share,

Listen to Tangerine Dream. That is what electronic music is about. Started back in 1969 too. I know its changed and I love the changes and new directions too and where its headed but it does not hurt to go right back to the source, the greats and he was great. (Edgar Froese of course RIP)
 
A lot of the music is on Youtube too. But there are over 140 albums!

That sound is courtesy of Z3TA+.  Great piece of software that is!

We're singing from the same hymn sheet there Jeff 
 
I think Electronic Meditation may be a bit too off the wall for most young "Electronic Musicians" nowadays (and I can't remember the last time I listened to it).
 
My first TD album was Rubycon, which is probably why it is my most favourite albums of theirs

I will certainly check them out.  I'm always up for a bit of musical education.
