Clouds That Bloom For The Moon

Liner Notes

Not long after seeing one of my favourite artists Nils Frahm for the second time I chanced upon an old air organ that someone had thrown in hard rubbish (curbside collection) and snapped it up with inspired intentions. I've been wanting to put it to use since then, so here's it's first foray.

I had fun exploring some different patches on my Moog Grandmother for this one, particularly trying to get a theremin sound from it.

Here's the air organ I found... nothing special but it seems to work okay, if only a little out of tune!

Air organ. What a find! Got any pics? Lovely bunch of sounds here, as I've come to expect. I particularly like that (probably) Moog patch that sounds uncannily like a human voice. Excellent slow build. As Ad says, big 70s prog vibes. Top stuff.

Good thinking 99! Just updated the llner notes with a pic of said air organ :-) I assume you mean the 'theremin' moog patch in the third time through the progression that's human like? That's the wobbly one.

The filter work is creating such a nice, slow breathing pulse to this. I do love how you've taken a clear Nils Frahm influence, but turned it into something a little more sci-fi 70s proggy vibe. That's a really nice synth solo you've go going on that then makes way for the theremin patch (or more a ondes martenot perhaps). Also enjoyed it sneaking up on the listener than the piano takes over the arpeggiator
