Phantom keys.

This sounds fantastic, and I really like the progression here.

(they keys freak me out though, won't they stop moving?)

This has a great sound, underwater warble, mysterious things happening. Nice. It evolves and moves well. What does phantom keys refer to?

I love thia track. The way you make the song grow up and morphing it around. Great.

Heh, yes on reflection it certainly is an odd image. I suppose someone finally figured out how to make a perpetual motion machine.

Thanks for your kind words about the track.

Cheers for listening and for your thoughts. There's a connection to the 1970s keyboard instrument/chord and phrase machine the Optigan.

Cheers for your thoughts on how the track evolves over time, appreciate it, I often like working with gradual rather than sudden transitions.

This feels like it was recorded on tape, was there some post processing or did you use tape? Really like this, fav

Thanks so much, yes there was quite a bit going on with effects, including some tape sim. You’re welcome to PM/email if you want more info.

Excellent atmosphere, lovely how slightly broken this sounds.

This song does so good in a world of overproduced sound material. I listen to it in a cycle mode. Sorrily it is so short, could be 10 to 15 minutes

(Missed this one from your catalog.) Really like the progression, but the texture makes this one. Evokes images of burned / weathered edges, inspires some thoughts (including some old ideas) about what burned ends of a sound might be like.

Thanks so much for your reflections on this one. Appreciate it.
