This is beautiful. How incongruous the little wooden cheeks on the Deluge seem in the context of the mountain wilderness (ok, hikers and cablecars). Yours are not the first site specific pieces I've seen using this instrument. The size of the unit makes this tempting, I'm sure. The inspiration is obviously powerful. The sample is reminiscent of sonar but the long delays are more redolent of Alpine passes and gorges. I think my respose would have been quieter, more reverential but my experience of real mountains is very limited and I find them quite incomprehensible, even terrifying. I once made a sequenced piece in response to a wild landscape in central Portugal which had been surveyed by a group of undergraduate architects. One of the students was from Greece and I asked if she knew of the work of the composer Yannis Xanaxis, who had a very experimental approach to music and scoring and who made some amazing work IMHO. His play with scoring rhythm I find interesting. Starting on my piece with a lanscape model of the area proposed for a theoretical hiking centre, I used the rythms of fence posts and other human interventions as a framework for sequencing my samples (Akai s900) which were dirty and noisy recordings made on a cheap portable and derived from tapping and scraping the model. Transposed down two or three octaves they made convincing representations of elemental sounds from the earth and wild winds with almost no other work. The students were bowled over with it and wanted it in their end of year exhibition with their photos and models of the site and their proposal drawings. The recording was transfered to a cassette (1995), in my cheap sony walkman, set to play continuously and sited in a large wooden box (resonator) along with a speaker and the projector mounted on top which displayed images from the landscape. When it was ecstatically received, I felt like a fraud because it was very simple but looking back it required knowledge that my contemporaries didn't have. I was working on my Masters at the time.
I love how much you use the sampler on the deluge instead of using external samples from packs, I swear I keep buying or switching out equipment to go with the deluge but just wind up using it on its own in the end anyway.
Agreed! It's taken me a long time to unlock some of the sample-manipulation power on the Deluge, but it's very capable! And Easy Tiger is very skillful with it!
I agree. this isn't specifically a deluge thing. I just think it's cool to sample new stuff. I believe it more often than not leads to more original results.
Ace. I need to take some gear out and get creative. I recently uploaded some footage with music from my locality (iosmusicman channel) but I want to create more fully outdoors sometime soon. Cheers. Lee

Now I know that I would love to own a Deluge.
I'm sure you would not regret getting one!
Amazing views and fun use of deluge. Thanks for sharing!

I love your creating process !
Thanks! Happy to hear that!
I love all your videos, man! Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
I 🫶 your videos, the sound is delicious and the Deluge is unrivaled in its class ( in my opinion). Nice time mate & regards
Thanks buddy! The Deluge sure is special!
Well done!
Thank you!
What a great video, you made some nice sounds from the glacier. Still so sad to know it will all disappear...
Thanks for this journey.
thanks. it is sad, I agree...

Cool. I'm listening to some of your music right now and am loving it!
@@easytiger1452 thanks very much. Appreciate the support 😊
