Nice one Midiaparks!

Didn´t watch the painting at listen, cause i just wanted to hear it pure and maybe later with colors :) .....
All i hear is a cool work. I am realy in a way in love with this little one but i couldn´t emagination any picture, so i will wonder whatkind of picture you used to get inspitationed to create cool music in this special style.

Sounds like you had fun while work and thats always a good thing.

stay tuned

hi again Dan and many thanks for interesting reply. I am glad that you liked Oraison! Around 15 years ago I became totally obsessed with Messiaen when studied music. At a time I had a chance to play several of his organ works, also I still own some amount of CD recordings. I know that Kent Nagano is considered as one of the most outstanding performers of his orchestral works.

This is extremely colorful music, Messiaen developed his own musical language based on 7 modes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_limited_transposition Oraison is definitely very contemplative, it actually sounds quite similar to the most ethereal section from the organ cycle La Nativité du Seigneur (1935) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5umJQZgQvU It is very characteristic sound for his earlier works.

It takes some amount of patience to 'be with' regarding to such a long phrasing indeed but the pieces are in fact quite traditional designed melodically and harmonically and therefore very listenable in my opinion. It's a sacred music at the very core, the connection with the visuals present in Cristianity is always very prominent.

so I keep going posting links again haha hope you do not mind...
All the best greetings to you, Alex

Hey midi :D

This is super interesting, i think with some live instruments like drums and guitar this could be really epic.
At 2:26 to have some awesome rock chorus would be really cool.
BUT with that said this is awesome on its own really cool funky track :D

Keep up the experiments!

Hope your well.

hi Dan
the painting attached is very fine, I really like it - especially the sky textures. To me the listening experience outside looperman is always different - being detached from everyday blue and grey also many waveform-shape variations always in green and orange I can focus on the sound itself much better. But seriously the piece you composed here is interesting, fluctuating. It is reminding me of an improvised collective drumming for some reason (with nice electronic additions at places). The first part makes me think of old electonic instruments like Ondes Martenot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRJmJzWibzA or Theremin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5qf9O6c20oprobably probably because of melancholic tone of some melodies present inside that section of your track. What kind of sound engine did you use? Anyway it was very nice!
Best to you, Alex

Being a watercolor painter I found this quite interesting and a great approach to songwriting. You always do seem to bring thought to the forefront of your music.

Lately I've been mixing the paint on the paper and abstractly letting it happen rather than planning it out and it being structured and rigid. That type of approach can bleed onto music making and allow that to more of a freestyle blending of sounds and timings....

When blending watercolor paints so much comes into play, the paints interact differently, the amount of water, the type of paper... These can be analogous in music aspects I suppose. Your song is such a good example. There is tonal depth, a low heartbeat, humanizing aspect behind to begin with. The part around 45 seconds was cool. Reminded me of sci-fi music, hits on the psychological side of how music can affect people.

All round interesting piece. I listened to this several times, freaked me out a bit like psychological torture music, lol.

Take care Dan!

Hey Dan,
This track is very peculiar and interesting mate.
Well done.

I'm always in favour of that sort of experiments and I think that in this case the connections between sounds and colors were established very well. Good job mate!

ez midisparks
very harsh audio experimentation you got there
defo captures a raw emotion from the art from karsen
took a few listens which is always a good thing in my opinion
that theremin kinda vibe very eerie
in a good way
