It's humorous how the voice of our conscience that encourages us to sin is the same one that plagues us the most for listening to it. - The second addition to my Live Ambient series. Recorded at 3: 43-47 AM. - Equipment used: Casio SK1 (big w) SP-404sx Yamaha MT400 Cassette mixer Harbinger 3-track Mixer Book of Sirach, the nice nature part starting 42: 15 - "Where is the light we have lost in living?" -T.S. Eliot - SK-1 unfortunately only has 4-voice polyphony so no complex chords on this but it's lush nonetheless. Soon I'll play Left hand chords on the CTK-1100 and left hand lead on the SK1 - Enjoy your winters.

This kind of stuff is so hard to make so it blows me away when I hear someone pull it off so well. It really is an art in the way that there's no simple four chord plus melody formula you can use. It's an exploration of an atmosphere, no definite destination. Floating through an emotion, seeing what works.

That was actually heartwarming to read man, Super happy you liked it :)

This is a slow vortex of violet and yellow lights that have an unreal physical texture to me <3

Ohh I see! Yes, it's laborious to zoom in a lot in Probe to get a precise value in your beats gridline when you cut ahah :)

I always love and appreciate your input on things, - The little clicking noises are actually just glitch artifacts from the sample merging from one section to another (the 30 second sample limit) but I'll go back in and fix those, or maybe do as you suggested and make the pulsar slower and pretend like they were intentional lmao. Will check the high end too like you said but it gets a little muddy without the boost. - Thanks for reviewing this <3

My sole advice would be to modify that dry plucky sound (happening at for example). I am doing similar plucks experiments in my ambient stuff, so I understand what you're trying to do here. I would personally go for a smoother and muffled sound design. Here, the high freqs add clarity but they do not really fit the melting atmosphere. Also, maybe slightly slow down the pulsar delay, to give more time to appreciate these plucks :)
