The Bells of Europa
Ringing over the icy winds of Jupiter's frozen moon, what do the Bells of Europa herald?
This is a 25 minute Audiostrobe session set to an original musical soundscape created using a vintage Moog synthesiser, an assortment of guitar pedals and post production effects.
This is my first attempt at creating an Audiostrobe session - feedback for improvement is most welcome.
Thanks for your effort. Will let you know once I have tried it.
Thanks Mind Voyager, I hope you enjoy it. I should probably warn people that there are some pretty extreme sounds in there - it is definitely a soundscape rather than a relaxing ambient type track. If it was a spectrastrobe track it would fit under the category of Mind Art.

Thanks for listening and for the feedback, MV. Eerie is a good description. The session was not designed with relaxation in mind. It is challenging and I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. :)
Music is a very subjective thing and people have different reactions. There is never a right or wrong answer.
However, I like deep challenging pieces much more than wishy, washy New Age clap-trap. That's me. My psychonaut nature likes to be taken somewhere. When I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey when I was a kid that was it for me.
This piece reminds me of that feeling, of obscurity and desolation in deep space.
I like it. Do you what you do, what moves you and know that some will come along for the ride.
Best,
Scott
Thanks Scott, I'm glad you liked it. Light-wise I have a lot to learn. I tried a few suggestions you gave in an earlier thread. Some of the things I wanted to do seemed impossible in NP3 due to the lack of zoom - which on a 25 min track would be very handy. I have subsequently thought of some possible ways around this limitation, which I'll try next time.
Yeah, the lack of zoom is a major hindrance. What is probably the best approach is to work on sections that are factors (like 10x) less than the final length that you intend. Then use the session scaling options to get the final duration.
I enjoyed it more by using it with the kasina than listening to it alone. I look forward to more of your work.Quote:

AudioStrobe sessions will work on all MindPlace devices.Quote:

Hmm... I have set the track to allow downloads. According to the statistics page it has been downloaded exactly 100 times. I wonder if that's a cut-off for my account type. I'll try playing around with the settings again on the weekend or uploading it somewhere else. I have a couple of other tracks I can make available if I host the files somewhere else (Soundcloud file limit is pretty small).Quote:
