An ambient piece I put together in the last two days (give or take an hour or two).
The padsynths were made with no thought to space efficiency, so the samples are bulky. Sorry. I think the sound quality was worth it.
Let me know what (if anything) you think.
My main point was to illustrate that Renoise isn’t just all about oontz-oontz-oontz, contrary to the grumblings of some folks. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
Ugh, there’s no way of saying this without sounding like some kind of elitist audiophile snob.
Even high quality transcodings of this one sound like crap because of the rather delicate interplay of harmonics. I mean, it’s completely recognisable, but it’s a sonic mess.
OK, now that I hate myself on a truly deep level:
Sure, I’ll try to work out this cloudsound whatsit that the kids are so excited about these days.
I’ve done other stuff, for example I’ve put singer/songwriter type poetry from other people to music for solo guitar, I’ve done music for amateur movies and so on, but I do tend to stick with downtempo stuff.
Maybe I just don’t drink enough coffee.
It’s a bit weird, since I tend to listen to a lot of heavy metal, but in the end I admire people like Kitaro, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Andreas Vollenweider, Klaus Schulze and the rest of the Komische Musik scene.
Obviously, not very cool. I’ll never get bucketloads of groupies.
I try not to be too snobbish, but the fact is that my classical background means that I have a strong preference for musical complexity. This doesn’t always mean shredding guitars, but can mean that I’m careful about harmonies, harmonic development, broken rhythms punctuated by musical negative space and so on.
My aspirations are a lot higher than my achievements.
