      @@stateazure haha, right on brother. Seriously though, I cannot compliment you highly enough for your talent and ability to produce such a wide array of beautiful work. And it can't be overstated that your willingness to experiment and take risks musically only adds to your skills and your catalog. Its so great seeing others discover how awesome you are man and you receiving the attention and credit you so clearly deserve, and have earned. Music is perhaps the greatest gift someone could leave this 🌎, as it's timeless, and cares not what language a person speaks. Thank you for making our time here that much more enjoyable bro. Push the envelope, watch it bend.
      Keep getting it. 🙏🤘👊🇺🇸

    This track deserves waay more views. The high fidelity sound here is so rich and clear at the same time. It is quite reminiscent of Tangerine Dream, yet SA still has his musical touch on it in a unique way. How many others can do this? Not many, for sure! Thank you SA for sharing this with us 😃

    This was another calming introspective journey with multilayered melodies interlaced with a soaring soundscape. I like the gentle arps that fade in and out with the central arpeggio! The keyboard improvs were also spot on!

    A thumbs up doesn’t do it justice, which is I guess why I perceive comments as an added dimension.
    Beautiful self-expressions. It would be interesting to interview you on your processes for this one in particular - how much Live vs. how much pre-composed, and how much algorithmic\auto-generated vs. how much layered Live improvised performance

    • @stateazure
      @stateazure  2 года назад +1

      The live stream just before this video shows almost the entire track creation from scratch. Almost everything I do is improvised, including drum programming. There's nothing auto-generated, unless you include the sequencers, but even they have been programmed by hand. What you see me playing on the keyboard are the two lead lines, which I improvised in the final performance. I'm kind of improvising the mixing in real time too, with the faders.

    A crystal harrier is any of the several species of mineral hawks sometimes placed in the subfamily Circinae of the bird of prey family Accipitridae. Harriers characteristically hunt by singing over open ground, hypnotizing small mammals, reptiles, or birds. The young of the species are sometimes referred to as glass-tail harriers.

    Amazing Track. Were you playing this from the clip launcher or arranger view as you were adjusting the volumes to bring in the different pieces?

    • @stateazure
      @stateazure  2 года назад +1

      Thanks. Both views were open. Originally most of the parts were clips, but during the performance everything is being recorded to the arranger so that all the fader/volume automation is being recorded in real time, along with the two lead tracks that I'm playing live (as MIDI data). This way I can double check everything is okay and make other minor tweaks to the mix etc before rendering the final mixdown, which should exactly match what I did live.

    Could you please let me know what keyboard controller you have with the faders in the middle of your setup please. Sorry. Nice track. I love your style man. I do like more up beat music as a DJ but you have a great qaulity to your style. Keep it going man. I grew up with Kraftwork and the likes so this is on that level but more suttle and smooth. You would benifit if you explored a bit i think. Just a thought. Great work needs rewarding.
