Description : a couple of orange (blood parrot?) fish peak out from some purplish-blue phosphorescent coral. Underwater ambience (trying at least). the usual suspects as far as FL Studio synths go.

Cthulu lies deep beneath the sea dead but dreaming ;) That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.
That's a character from the H.P.Lovecraft's fiction. It's a big octopus faced monster that lives in the ocean. Metallica's The thing that should not be is about him/(her?) too. I found another band, Catacomb, that writes all songs based on Lovecraft's writings.
That's a good question, Both are alien worlds relatively unexplored by us. I think this has more of an underwater sound, like being weighed down by the crushing pressure of all that water whereas space is nothingness. The sounds echo and fade like passing through a liquid like medium. In space they'd just continue on unobstructed by the nothingness and fade in volume to nothing. I've never been there but in theory anyway ;) I seemed to have missed the last flight with the rest of the Loopers, I'm stowing away on the next one! :D

I am too involved trying to re-learn my German before I go to sleep at night by reading a German-Jewish dictionary to have time for something sensible like discovering Lovecraft. so i am grateful for the tidbits you share. of course the fish in my underwater scene might be eating those tidbits before i get to them.

thanks, Orlando. i am thinking to find a softer attack instrument for the short opening. i'm happy if it worked for you with the art. look forward to hearing your new stuff. regards - Dan

Does sound like deep under water near scene of the coral rock and life movement below. Goes with the picture to over at the site. The image is real clear and the colors mix well with the sounds you built to them. The arp synth gives it that extra something, getting real good at these surrounding environments Dan. Has a sense of alert gets one focused and tuned it. How things been? Peace.

i'm really happy if it is working for you with the art. the "arp" was some patch from Harmor synth I think. can't even remember! I am really learning that the initial choices of instruments make a big difference in the success of the track. Initial choices - ha! bit of a lesson for life there! always happy to be hearing from you Dave. re

Brilliant piece again Dan!

After seeing that painting, listened again and the cohesion is outstanding between the artwork and the music!

That is the essence of your 'artwork' :-)

With appreciation, Danke

i'm happy if it was working for you with the art Dank. yea - I pretty much am writing for the art, although I need to push to write longer tracks sometimes. i'm thinking to soften up the instrument at the beginning of this one but was happy with the overall effect. look forward to checking out your newest track. thanks my friend.

Has quite the underwater feeling :D Say Hi to spongebob and Cthulu for me :p Very surreal like floating in the vast beauty under the ocean, Nice one Dan :D

hey Burton. now I have to figure out who/what Cthulu is! I'm happy if this one works with the art a little. Could probably stick some space art with it and it work just as well! Good question what differentiates those two musical atmospheres. Anyway - I am off to check out what have been posting. thanks, man. we need to crank something out soon. Dan

Hi Dan:)

this is some very nice one! probably my favourite from you so far.
I can listen only on laptop speakers now but I really appreciate the higher frequency spectrum of this short experimental sound-scape. It sounds glassy and it's very funky.

For me it is still a bit too short for a proper ambient. Ambient tracks are usually much longer and they evolve slowly. This is always the case in Steve Roach's works, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SiiwEciFs

but your track is of course a kind of a short illustrative piece and as this it works perfectly fine.

nice little piece!

Best to you, Alex

I am listening to the steven roach track right now. it is good to touch base with this master. you are right - this evolution of an true ambient track cannot be rushed. i am glad you had a chance to hear this little underwater track of mine though - it could certainly be refined more but it seems to work on some level. best regards - Dan

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.
