Bass from the DSI Mopho, kick from the TR-505, singing bowl processed through Absynth and Pianoteq piano with various amounts of effects.

Love that singing bowl.  This conjures up images of vast landscapes in my mind.  Like it could soundtrack a scene of a group of heroes walking across a snowy mountain or something.

A very smooth bass sound with the suhweet percussion.  I wouldn't have guessed that was a singing bowl.  The piano is the icing on this excellent cinematic track.

Powerful and evocative mix. Must re-investigate Absynth.

great sounds!!!!

TR-505 kick sounds like a monster! Slowed down or pitch shifted? Big low end mix but the shimmering sounds on top make for an expansive sound. Def very cinematic.

Amazing! Once the piano comes in it really takes you places.

Always an enjoyable listen.  Is it the piano that's sounding like a sustained guitar part?  Sounds great!

Beautiful track, very cinematic smile

Thank you, it's quite possible that a more correct description would've been "Absynth using a singing bowl as the source".

Thanks! My TR-505 goes through two EHX pedals, a Deluxe Memory Boy and a Holy Stain (with the Room Reverb setting), then a bit of EQ to bring more of a tone.

Yes, that's the piano. Not owning a guitar, I try to make do with what I have :-)
Actually Pianoteq is quite suited for this type of thing as I can tweak the piano sound so it works better with processing, if I need to.

Thank you all so much!

Wow, this is incredible how you have used all the source material.  The 505 sounds absolutely insane.  And the "guitar" piano is beautiful.  You never fail to surprise me!
