The person behind the sonic arpeggios is a wonderful man. We wrote to him to ask him to lend us a piece of this masterpiece as a soundtrack for a video about freedom and he replied: Take what you need!...Thanks so much!
I'm glad someone noticed. The music of so many self-produced musicians is loads better and more sophisticated than a lot of the classics that may or may not inspired them: Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre, etc. Not because of the instruments but because of the vocabulary evolving, like in any genre. Especially for those artists who don't mind using digital sounds or complex setups the textures are infinitely precise and the moods informed by newer works of literary or cinematic fiction as well as what we have seen to be actual scientific advances. And there's definitely a darker mood, a feeling of dystopia. The synth revolution with machines like Elektron and the Eurorack explosion have also created a new ambient scene and a sound, a new mood, and new subgenres. There are loads of youtubers or soundclouders etc who have nothing to envy from the synth pioneers, whether or not they were inspired by them in the first place. In other words this music is being driven, taken to its next stages by these RUclips artists. It happens in all kinds of music but the evolution of electronica is really sriking: either you do something deliberately vintage or you are fully in the present with an eye toward the future. It's like if Bach could have heard Bill Evans, the synth pioneers must be tripping out on all this new music. This track is the perfect example: where in classic 70s ambient electronica do you find this level of groove, warmth, and subtlety. I may be wrong but I think you just don't.
I’ve shuffled through your music so often and this has played but I never stopped listening long enough to comment on every song. But brother I have listened to your channel for a while and this is awesome like everything else
Just a personal opinion but I think this is the type of sound you create best. Thought provoking, perfect for listening to while travelling - whether that be by car, train, or plane; or simply just by sitting still looking into the flame of a candle and letting the mind drift. Great stuff. Your work with this ingenious piece of kit is only going to get better. I can't wait to see where it takes us.
Andy Powell Agreed. However, I usually use his music to do my own personal “*method*”of chillaxing. I can’t believe Ulimae or Celestial Dragon records have not picked him up. Back to your take on his style, I’ve used it as passenger ride with the seat reclined on holiday once...Good day, good night. ..Liam
SERIOUSLY... the quality of ambient music on RUclips lately is so good. its like someone said 'BEHOLD YOU SHALL BE CHILLED' these live performances all sound better than my albums lol i just read a comment saying some stuff better then TG..i absolutely agree. my brother whom i work with is now becoming a fan of ambience because im playing your stuff every day. and a few others ive found through your comment section. SO ITS A BIG THANKS FROM ME..... this community is small but so enriching.
I say this every time. Your the orb. Tangerine dream and Hans zimmer wrapped into one. You should be scoring movies. I can see this in countless scenes.
Yet another special sound very well done,i swear this music is heaven wherever it comes from. Such peace and harmony mankind could never imagine. Sept 2020 🙏❤🙏❤🌈🌎
Love this! So much better than many of the so-called "ambient" tracks people are putting out there. Really glad I found your channel.... it's inspiring, and I get to play along with it. :)
I imagine its so easy to get lost in the maze of sound and reflected emotion, - you probably feel inclined to paint more colour, depth and layers - I guess even though you did a super job, its hard to keep something that is constantly growing and changing in your mind - to a respectable time frame 😊 🙏🙏👍 more like this - its a journey -- ?? why cant I find this tract to add to my list?
The intro reminded me of "Waiting for the Night" by Depeche Mode, except much more "in your face" ... I still want to sing a gentle song with this though ❤🌌🌚
I make a second comment, you see when you put a rhythm behind it transcends your genius, I really encourage you to build songs like this, you could make a very great album like this What I feel: I could ride all night to this music, it's wonderful.
Thanks, Marcos! Yeah some pattern length changes, and Part useage etc..it all got a bit messy later on, hence I cut the track down a bit. I kept forgetting which patterns activate which parts during performance, and a few times tracks came back into the mix very abruptly, but I realise my mistakes and perhaps should have made use of Bank changes to avoid these issues. Actually using Banks instead of Parts might have been better and less confusing for me.
Not really, i'm a complete noob with the Octatrack myself! When you want to do something with it, but not sure how, look up RUclips videos, this is what I've been doing so far. The manual is too confusing!
Randeezy my advice.....just like making love for the first time...fiddle around and try your best for a bit, then ask what she really needs to make her scream.
Thank you! I have a NDLR, I just don't use it all the time as I like programming my own sequences. The NDLR is great though! I'll definitely use it more in the future.
State Azure You use the Octatrack as sequencer? Update : Just read you played live and playing samples from the OT. What do you think of the OT as a sequencer?
Hey Sa messy or not this is sounding awesome and just downloading Modular Work IV as it happens will let you know what I think when I have listened to it but will be amazing I have no doubt.
Hey thanks IP, always appreciated. I've no doubt you've heard all the tracks on that album already, though I did sort the tracks differently this time instead of chronological so that it flows better.
Absolutely gorgeous. Loving this one. What do you think of the octatrackt? Thinking on picking up one myself. Used to have a digi then sold it and I think the octatrack would work really well
Thanks, PM. Really liking the OT so far, it feels like a big upgrade to the DT but with a heck of a steep learning curve, depending on how well you knew the DT. Why did you sell your DT?
State Azure thanks for the reply. I found myself with the digitak doing no more than I could do with ableton (except step sequencing, really liked that) so I sold it and got a teenage op-z which although is great I don’t like it being soooo limited with sampling. One other thing I liked in the digi was the filter. The ability to route other synths though the Octa and mangle in real time is what I like and I think would be different than ableton.
This is great! I've been waiting to get my octatrack and euro integrated and this has me itching to go. I'm hoping to use octatrack midi lfos alongside its audio processing abilities. Just waiting to pick up poly 2!
State Azure I need to put more effort into learning my octatrack. It’ve always picked up other things that are quicker and easier but there’s so much good stuff in the octatrack. Lfo designer is one of many. Performance looping is another!
No not at all :) The Octatrack is a sampler, so a lot of what you hear it coming from samples made on the computer/DAW. Once I know what I'm doing with it I'll use them together.
Hi S.A ! Nice one again, bravo ! Just found you on Spotify , and sound quality is event better ! OT mainly as a midi sequencer ? not too short to have 4 midi note max to sequence hydra or Peak ?
Thank you! I didn't do any MIDI sequencing at all with this one. I'm playing Hydrasynth and Peak live with the Keystep Pro. All other sounds are samples imported into the OT for slicing/manipulating.
@@stateazure Nice ! and compared to the Ditto X4 for lopping pitching down does it better with OT, will you get rid of Ditto ? i'm planning to buy one or the other but not the same budget ;)
@@raphaelchemouni1276 I tried some looping last night with the OT II, it works quite well but there's some limitations and issues I think when pitching up/down, it timestretches the audio which isn't always what I want, you also have to re-allocate RAM for the Pickup Machines in the OT otherwise you're very restricted to the length of the loop. Ditto X4 doesn't have these problems. IMO Ditto is a much better looper for free playing/non-synced style looping and pitching, OT seems better for synced looping and timestreching (if you want that). I'm not aware of any looper that does everything perfectly yet.
This track wouldn't even be in my top 20 of personal best that I've done, my best material was in my first 4-5 albums imo. But this is all subjective, and I can't please everyone. I would be happy if one day I can make an album again that's as good as 'So Long, Eternity' or 'Disconnect'
Wow I’m purely blown away ! I’m 63 and just now respecting this kind of music thank you very much 🙏

Possibly the best electro description of existence
Excellent, exactly what I like, and genuinely better than some of the output of Tangerine Dream
Totally agree.
Luke Edwards Thought exactly the same, brilliant track, very enchanting and captivating ❤️

Amazing as always. My two fav synths ❤️
Essential listening, rich, orgasmic depth, with a beautiful sequenced balance, as good as 'Love On A Real Train', thank you.
Thank you for creating sounds capable of combining dreams, hope and creation.
Music to eat my dinner with. Sounding awesome. I'll have to play it again with my headphones on.
Thanks, Zeke
SERIOUSLY... the quality of ambient music on RUclips lately is so good.
its like someone said 'BEHOLD YOU SHALL BE CHILLED'
these live performances all sound better than my albums lol
i just read a comment saying some stuff better then TG..i absolutely agree.

Transcends space and time. Beautiful, just beautiful.

From such a broad repertoire this piece is distinctive

I say this every time. Your the orb. Tangerine dream and Hans zimmer wrapped into one. You should be scoring movies. I can see this in countless scenes.
Really appreciate that, James. Thanks so much.
agreed - also hints of Vangelis. this is beautiful
I like this track, would be nice have a longer version!
I was just going to say the same thing.

Who would know how wonderful is this music?
Love this! So much better than many of the so-called "ambient" tracks people are putting out there. Really glad I found your channel.... it's inspiring, and I get to play along with it. :)
Thank you, Jalene!
So cool and profouund
Your music makes me feel relaxed and calm, but full of anticipation and a bit inspired. Just about to look up more of your work.
Thank you, Elizabeth! Hope you like my other music!
@@stateazure so glad Ive found it, its hypnotic, am listening now to everything on you tube
This is fire
A new inspiration for a long day your music is like magic
So good
Profound in structure and sound
after 10 hours of non-stop DnB i need this chilled vibe.
Today's morning with coffee was wonderful, thank you.

There is so the factor of visual so strong
I liked that one. It would drop a treat (go down well) on a hot, sunny, windy afternoon in Formentera at almost any beach bar.
Beautifully written & played& filmed
Coolest thing about this piece is you created More please
Love the nature noises.
Bro, you crap excellence! Keep up the fantastic work!!

Thank you! The Blue Room is a great track :)

Wonderful 👌

Really wonderful! Maybe you should consider to buy a NDLR, that's a great drone/pad/sequencer/arpeggiator. Made for ambient.

No, I haven't tried that.

what's nice is that if you right click the toggle on the bottom right of the screen you can hit 'LOOP', I did, and it's Wonderful.....
Degni eredi, in tutti i sensi, di Tangerine Dream. L'estasi.
