Solar Neighborhood by esteband - Review
Review:
After 3 years, someone finally made a real synchromuse track! Its called "Solar Neighborhood" created by esteband and its a whole lotta fun.
Actually, its more than just "fun". You see, most of the audiostrobe CDs I've tried seem to be made with the music in mind first and then someone puts a light show on top of the soundtrack. In essense they are made for entertainment not entrainment and don't really entrain the brain to any particular frequency. But Solar Neighborhood is more like the included programs in the Procyon in that it seems to have a purpose. The slow ramp down from 16hz to 5hz really works to entrain the brain to an extremely relaxing state. The lights were very well synchonized with the music unlike many of the audiostrobe CDs. The music itself was very relaxing. Its actually somewhere between music and the standard clicks of a normal mind machine program - a refreshing change of pace. The three colors were much richer than just two colors with audiostrobe. It seems the color selection ampified the entrainment as opposed to just being entertaining.
During the session, as it progressively brought me deeper into a theta state, I would easily go more and more into a dreamlike state. This is similar to the "Night Voyage" programs but I like the music a lot more than just the clicks. When it was all finished, I knew it was good because I could even feel the tips of my fingers were relaxed. And then I just chilled there for the next half hour in a daydream state. This was the exact reason I bought the procyon in the first place - relaxation from the stresses of modern life. I have a feeling I might be using Solar Neighborhood more often before bed than the built in programs...
Thanks esteband. Solar Neighborhood was a fantastic "first synchromuse track."

Thanks, MindMachineFun!!! I'm glad it worked for you!
Synchromuse and MP3 success!
Solar Neighborhood sounds absolutely fantastic - I love all the spiralling panning effects. Great work esteband :-)
Also, after a lot of tweaking, it seems that I've got Synchromuse to work with MP3s! :banana:
Click here to download the mp3
If you've got a spare moment, please do test this file and confirm whether it works for you.
(You'll still need to upload the session file to the Procyon before it'll work, and then make sure the Procyon is in dAS mode before playing the mp3).
Then, if everyone finds it works, perhaps it could be hosted on the support site? (I only have limited bandwidth with the above hosting service).
As to how to get mp3s to work with Synchromuse... well, I'm off on holiday for ten days now, but I'm happy to reveal all when I'm back :icon_wink:, and once we've verified that the file actually works for everyone.

Done. Edited your post to the new location on the support site.
