Liner Notes

A little exercise in getting back on the horse after technical issues (see last song)

Piano looped in NI Noire, glitchy drum breaks with some cut randomness, lots of very nice synth-y drones (Absynth mostly) and a very me song I feel.

This is awesome. It's big and flowy, complex but without sounding complex.

@tomgage 1w

Thank you! Very much appreciated

Gorgeous. Noire is one of my favourite piano VSTs (I'm a big Nils Frahm fan, too) and this puts it through its paces beautifully. So much chilled goodness to savour here.

Thank you very much! And same here, every time they put out a new piano I always end up back on Noire.

Thanks for the kind words!

Stirring and lush. I could listen to this as background for my life. All the elements feel precise, full of presence.

Please feel free to soundtrack everything with this, I give full permissions for this!

Welcoming, peaceful tones! I agree that there's a dreamy quality, but it's not insubstantial. I like when the rhythm comes in. I'm imagining movement -- maybe futuristic vehicles on a Blade Runner highway. The vocal effects are cool, too. Nice song!

@tomgage 1w

Thank you! Anything seemingly referencing Blade Runner I will 100% take

@mrsqueeze 1w

Very nice! Feels like Bonobo, very dreamy, but grounded with the intense drums and bass! The singing reminds me of Sigur Ros, where you always feel like you're just about to make out some words.

@tomgage 1w

Well that's praise indeed! Thank you.

All vocal samples with a ton of reverb and time stretched to hell, my standard approach really!
