Hello Quirq!
Well if you go on writing like this, just waisting lines of diminishment, I
might just plonk you. :-)
It's a lovely piece.I love the intensity of it, there's drama in there (four
stage theatrics perhaps :-) ). I love the dense composition of the "sound
cloud", complemented by the tinkly windchimes, harp and synth FX, it makes a
gorgeous whole.
Keep them coming the "insubstantial bits" and parts of ideas. I'm waiting
for them all to final fit into the bigger pictures. :-)

I agree.. this is beautiful! Very Floyd-esque. Shame we don't hear
what comes next!

Hi James
Many thanks for listening and I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
I was a little worried that it might sound like a Floyd rip-off, with
having a synth brass patch and layered string machines. I do love that
piece and know it well so it's no doubt been a bit of an influence. The
synth lead came first and if anything, the Red Dwarf opening theme tune
was probably more of an influence on that than Floyd :-)
Oh well, whatever the influences, I've stolen them and made them my own!
The next part of the piece is about threequarters written and demo
recorded. Once it's completed I just need to record it properly and mix
it and then I aim to tie the first three parts together and release it.
Just don't hold your breath: at the speed I work, I hope to get it
finished some time this decade ;-)
Thanks again

Indeed, Q's stuff is awesome... and then it ends unexpectedly, leaving you hanging.
I think it's the engineer disease: make something completely perfect in every detail,
then put it aside before finishing it, because that's not the fun part.

Hello Ken!
Hm, looks more like: Doing something absolutely perfect, but taking so much
time in the process, that you better release sections. You don't know, when
the next par might be ready. But can't you hear a connection, Ken? I found,
there's a reprise. :-)

Hi Ken
Wow, that's high praise indeed coming from you. Thanks for listening and
I'm glad you were awed :-)
I see your point about engineer disease, but I think Julien has really
hit the nail on the head in his response to you. The part this snippet
follows is already recorded and mixed, the next section is about
threequarters written and part four maybe about fifty percent written.
Everything after that is just a bunch of ideas and snippets at the moment.
It's going to be some time before I get the next couple of parts
recorded and mixed, which yes, will take ages getting all the details
perfect, but I am working (very slowly) towards a goal. Then there are
other projects I need to make progress with, that have been on the back
burner for a couple of years, oh dear!
I suppose I use a bit of a "release early, release often" ethos, it's
just my idea of "often" is a bit skewed ;-)
Thanks again for listening and commenting.

Hi Julien
Apologies for the delay in replying, I got sucked into cleaning an
analogue string machine so that it now works more-or-less properly. Then
I had to re-arrange my synths to make room for it.
Anyway, many thanks for listening, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was aiming
for a bit of drama, so it seems like I've succeeded -- I just hope it
isn't so dramatic that it overshadows the two sections that it will be
bridging, but we'll see eventually.
Someone on the KVR forum described it as being a bit too grandiose and I
think he meant that as a negative. I took it as a complement anyway :-P :-)
I'm always of the opinion that little bits like winchimes, glockenspiel,
celested, sound effects and things like that add a lot to music when
used subtly. They just take a long time to get right, but it's worth it
in the end.
Thanks again for listening.

Wow!
Thats the best audiophile excuse I've heard on this list or anywhere for
that matter- I picture Q having a whole hall (or at least a v. large room)
full or synths, mixers, patch cables etc. that he has to notify his next of
kin before he wades in to place his newly fixed string synth- just
fantastic! Teleharmonium mk1 eat-your-heart out type stuff.
Nice to see Mr Hetherington raise his rarely heard voice t'other day. Did
you decide on a name for the virtual whippet C?

Ah, if only it were so!
Sorry to burst your fantasy, but sadly it's just a reasonably sized
bedroom with two keyboard stands to my sides, one holding a mark 2 ARP
Axxe and a Moog Little Phatty Stage II above it.
The other stand has an 88-key semi-weighted midi-controller, the Logan
String Melody II above and atop that a Dave Smith Mopho keyboard and
some effects pedals.
The synths do run into a tiny, all-knob, mixer and my immediate vicinity
is a bit of a trip hazard with all the cables, but nothing approaching a
synth museum or Keith Emerson's lair :-)
There are about 10 guitars and a flute and piccolo behind me as well...
I think I need to stop buying gear and start making music :D

Am I remembering right? Isn't there an official setup photo gallery
or page on the Ardour wiki?
