[LAD] The Bay of Atlantis

[Louigi Verona]

Hey everyone!

Thank you for the kind words, I am very happy you are enjoying the
experience.

Any and all sonic references to Tangerine Dream are always accidental, as
to this day I never listened to Tangerine Dream, although have skimmed
through several tunes after being told that some of my tunes that feature
arpeggiation seem to remind people of Tangerine Dream. Right now quickly
clicked through Rubicon on YouTube. Arpeggiation part in the end is not
bad, although a little outdated, I guess.

I think the reason why some of my arpeggiating tunes remind people of
Tangerine Dream is that setting up an arpeggiating bassline as a backbone
of a tune and then putting things on top is an extremely simple idea that
many musicians come up with. As I do have a minialistic approach in my
music, it is possible that it sounds similar to what they did back in the
day. Either way, Tangerine Dream has never been part of my musical diet,
but I don't mind people hearing these unintentional references, this is
always very interesting.

As to the part at 26 minute, I think this is a pad loop that I played
through Kluppe sent through a chain of CamelSpace ran though Festige and
then through Rakarrack, powered by an almost 100% wet signal Long Reverb of
the reverb module. The "watery" feeling is created by CamelSpace, which
provides a filter and a sequencer which is capable of gating and changing
the cutoff frequency value. An incredible VST plugin, although I actually
rarely use it for ambient.

So, a mix of Linux and VST technology here. But as far as I remember, this
was probably the only non-Linux piece of tech I've used here.

L.V.
