Wow. Amazing

That was very sweet and sombre :D

hello Orlando

Still, flat and cold soundscape you have here! This is
a beautiful piece with a lot of positive soothing power.
I can really hear some pleasant and healing resonance of string plucked instruments in this.

I enjoyed floating melodies - reminding me a bit of the sound of a Sunvox virtual synth I used earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzkulKz8qBI

Thanks for taking me to the Zen zone for a moment!

Best to you, Alex

Hello Orlando

What a cool name for a picture and track :)
Cant say any about the painting :) but i like the sounds you used here and if the music fits to the picture, then it must be a very nice one.
I realy enjoy tracks where i can close my eys and strat dreaming. And this one is realy good for that

Great work on the sounds and mixing also.
Excelent stuff to relaxing

stay tuned
joe

Euphoric is how i would describe this track.. or fucking awesome, think ill go with the latter haha

Its the synthwork in this im loving most though, amazing work.
If you dont mind me asking what vst's you using for these?
especially the pluck at 15seconds been trying to make a sound like that for a while! haha

Congratz bro,

Orlando, How are you? Well, I hope.

Often times, I begin a track with no idea where it's headed. A lot of the times, I try to build something similar to thi in the sense that it's a minimalist, drumless soundscape. But that creative force that lives in me always brings forth the driving beat. Just once, I'd like to create something as ethereal, and captivating as yours. Maybe you're much more at peace with yourself that I am. Which leads me to ask the question: Does the creativity reflect the state of mind, or does it influence it? When you create these pieces, do you let the music channel through you, or do you bend the ambiance to your desire? Myself, I believe that music has always been here. Long before we were, and it will be here long after we're gone. We are nothing more than a vehicle for it to be presented to us. We give it it's voice. But, there are those who simply let it flow through them, and then there are those, more like myself, who, although let it flow, bend it to fit my own agenda. Your pieces are almost always so calm, and reflective, where mine are always aggressive and driving. Even in the more "fluid" works. It's interesting that yours, and mine, evoke such strong emotions in the listener, but they are so far apart on the spectrum.
At first, I didn't really listen that deeply to your work. But much like a truly good cup of coffee, there are so many complexities, and elements that go into it, that it takes time to fully learn and appreciate everything involved. I'm glad I kept coming back.

Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Take care.

Great background to any stressful work, calms me right down.

Yet another winner from you! I absolutely love this one, the sound was a bit more on the tense side but absolutely ace in execution and production. Great work Orlando :)

Hey whats up, how do you make those ambient pads man? do you reverse synths or reversed pluck delay sounds with huge reverb?

Made me think of ice crystals forming on a window on a frosty winter morning. The wind blows the light fluffy snow in every direction as you quickly scrape the ice off your car windows hoping your car starts in the frigid temps. I don't miss those days one bit but we did get frost the other day.

I liked your last track as well, similar concept and just as interesting and can be interpreted many ways.

link the painting ! :D

Im digging the vibe alot! Good track:)

Sounds dark and relaxing at the same time, might just be me.

Really love the melody, hopefully you will make more of this.

This is a lovely minimalist track. The sound evolves naturally and tells your story of the abandoned sanctuary very well. It gives the feeling of something frozen in time, mixed with memories of both joy and sadness. It's a beautiful first song of the day for me to listen to. Made me feel calm and pensive. So thank you :)

Hey Orrie,

My place of sanctuary is listening to your music mate.
I can see you still polling all ladies of LM ?????
Fantastic track its really captivating.
Very big well done to you mate.

I'm still catching up on your new tracks. Love it. Pat

Wow!!-- Very beautiful piece. Sounds like a mixture of some of Frank Zappa's solo keyboard projects with a touch of Beck. Will this be available for download someday? Thanks for the listen PDmzuak

Aptly titled...a place of safety...now abandoned to its quietness...a touch of meloncholy...peace....you paint the picture perfectly with your patient approach to composition that evolves along its way...and always a most enjoyable listen over here...well done (as always) Orlando...Ed

good work man.

it reminds me of walking through the old abandoned hospital on the game " The last of us". great sound with headphones!!

Bonjour Orlando ....

Just a few words, and if I may: It's Magic .... You ensure your subject with a certain musical conviction no doubt. A multitude of images unfold as in a kaleidoscope. And to conclude .... Great serenity here.

Hi.

This is some classy stuff and you clearly specialise in drumless, mysterious minimalism. I have a lot of musical limitations and am a bit lost without a good solid groove, which is why I tend to use a lot of drums, whereas you often use none.

I'd find using none quite difficult and have only ever done one proper drumless track (chillout with lots of strings but also guitar).

Anyway, this is another hard one to review as it seems to just keep stretching itself on and on, without any obviously different sections. Lots of gliding notes and a constant air of mystery and intrigue. And melancholy calm.

Seems about the right length so I don't suggest cutting it down, as I did with your last lengthy, drumless ambient piece.

Good work.

P.S. I've wondered for a while why you generally only write 2 or 3 line track reviews when you're clearly capable of saying a lot more ie as you do in your own track replies.

i like it , smooth , nice track man :)

Very Nice sentiment. I could feel the emotions of sanctuary in your music. Nice work my friend.

Your progressivity is amazing...epic, 'big' tracks you create...this one is scary and freezing...got my brain to remember last year's losses...that is the mission of art...to create feeling in the listener...your tracks always tell a story...donwanna hype you but you are one of the best artist here (and there)...

Warmest handshake, Danke
