    this is unbelievable eerie yet soothing

      It must be the sound the sound of the Duduk samples I used. It has a very gentle but haunting sound. Run through the granulator for extra scifi vibes. Enjoy! :)

      Hi! Got an email for a reply in this thread but it doesn't come up on youtube. Glad you enjoyed the Duduk sampled dune music! :)

      @@THEONEPEACEISRAEL nice! Kul att det passade. :) Modulen som gör all granular heter Beads av Mutable Instruments. Hojta om du vill ha en länk. Man kan få till riktigt spännande ljudlandskap. Stellaris har jag sett men highfleet är nytt för mig. Få kolla in det! Njut av musiken! :)

      Cheers Paps, Lord Byron would definitely have been into Dune. He liked his spice.

    This is great, JR - best Dune-inspired music since Klaus Schulze's 1979 LP 😉

    This is awesome dude. Minute 4 and i'm having goosebumps. So far sounds meditative but it shows what inspires it, wouldn't surprise me if Brian Herbert were to declare this as zensunni music

    • @johnreidarholmes
      @johnreidarholmes  Год назад +1

      Thank you so much for that! As a musician it's fun to write music inspired by films or stories. It gives you a setting and a framework to make something around. Zensunni music! You've given my an idea there. Can I steal that? I've got a new one in the works too based om the Fremen, also looking at doing something with Gurney and the Baliset.

    Very good sounds individually but it turns into a bit of a cacophony for my ears. My honest feedback. I like the windpipe instrument a lot.

    • @johnreidarholmes
      @johnreidarholmes  Год назад

      Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. It's a tricky line to walk on. On the one hand it needs to be mysterious and pehaps a little ominous. The story is full of conflict. At the same time the music is ambient but also aims to be exciting because the story is. So I tried to make it calm but with some movement. The cacophony you hear is also perhaps in part due to the use of granular synthesis modules that chop up the Duduk samples and create textures out of set melodies. Cheers!

      @@johnreidarholmes no. You're thinking wrong about this, you micro manage and miss the big picture. I have studied acting, photography, drama, writing etc. Making art is a function of the heart,of you. You are the function - you take in the "x" and generate the "y" but instead of math and numbers, it's about life. You take in the moment and give the next, take in the world and give the music that expresses the world through you. And like a continuous function you need to be yourself CONSTANT - and this is the issue with any artist from acting, to music, to engineering etc. If you're all over the place you don't know which ideas to choose, if you yourself are not your best self then you make poor choices. Basically you, as a listener, you have to cultivate a taste where anything but excellence will suffice. Sometimes years of hardwork lead to that - you start with a talent and it grows. It's not about being a prick, a snob but because you literally acquire a taste for the beautiful and you try to express beauty yourself. French call arts the beautiful arts - what is truly beautiful? That Uncreated Light of God which gives life and is beyond words, that's the answer. How you become that on the fast track, I know only one way, and it's of a spiritual nature. And disclaimer: I don't mean meditation, new age and other demonic practices - those will mislead and destroy.
      The idea comes from the voice within. That voice dictates what stays in the work, what is out, how you polish it. Doesn't matter if you make a song or a kid as a parent. It's all a reflection of you. You are a vesel. What you fill yourself with is what you put out. That is the key truth of being a human and art is nothing but a mirror to our human nature. Art appeals to that deep deep objective - not subjective - Truth, with capital T. And the more objective and truer it becomes, the more it appeals to a broader population. They like it because it reaches them inside.
