bjornpdx Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Not Lost, Just Wandering Kind of spacy but melodic. One of the tracks is a revised bell instrument (Omnisphere Gossamer keyboard) that I've used in other songs. There's something about gamelan type bells and gongs that have a hypnotic effect when played in certain patterns. I was trying for something like that here but the song kept diverging to something else. Also, I kept falling asleep. 🙂 Thanks for listening/commenting.

noynekker Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hi Bjorn . . . you've painted something very incredible and dreamlike here, and your SoundCloud image really helps that realization. The ostinato sound through the whole piece reminds me of an African Kalimba . That background kind of moaning sound that pops and swells into the sound field is most effective, so much character that sound has ! . . . and totally fits what you're doing musically . . . really liked that whatever it was. Really, the whole thing, enjoyed this very much ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Bjorn , this was a Wonderful soundscape.. I got the tubular bells comment and a slight touch of Blade Runner in sections as well. This was quite emotionially provoking and relaxing at the same time. If it were longer I could probably fall asleep also while listening. Loved the clean mix .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The gamelan is very much supposed to be an aid to meditation. I like this, the continued but evolving bell patterns are a nice bed for the rest, good job Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Noynekker: thanks I appreciate the comment Steve: Tubular bells, hadn't actually thought of that but yeah probably was an inspiration Jack, Leadfoot: thanks I appreciate the listen/comment Mark: hey thanks! Appreciate the comment on the mix, something I always have trouble with Wookie: Yep there's just something mystical about gamelan sounds imo. -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T. Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Well done Bjorn. Nice parts put together in all the right places. The Addictive Drums parts at the end makes for a nice, unexpected, addition; the volume you mixed them at was the right choice🎶🎶🎶🎶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
