Interiors

This is a one take performance using only two modules (Oxi Coral, Clouds) and the Oxi One sequencer.  I wanted to create a piece with minimal hardware and this combo works a treat! 
I recently got the Coral for polyphonic/multitimbral work and I'm very happy with what it's capable of although it comes with a learning curve.  Once learnt though, it's not too bad at all.

The Oxi One sequencer I've been delving into heavily too recently and it's such a great sequencer.  Here it's sequencing 2 tracks on different midi channels with generative elements to keep it interesting.  It's also sending out a  controlled voltage to Clouds to control the Position parameter.  You can actually hear this parameter at the end of the piece as I stopped the sequencer but it created further sounds as the LFO from the Oxi One was still manipulating the position of the buffer in Clouds.  I love happy accidents.  Another reason why hardware is incredibly rewarding to create on.

The concept of the piece is interior thoughts.  Keeping your mind calm and happy yet sometimes it's difficult to maintain high positivity and your thoughts can start sliding in the opposite direction, sometimes with moments of hope though.  I was also trying to create a much less darker piece from last week which I think was achieved.  Probably not too difficult seeing the dark level was high last week.  Haha.  I still found last week's track to be quite beautiful at the same time though.  I've been told that's a recurring element in my work.  It can come across as dark yet it can be quite beautiful at the same time.

I like a lot the sounds you used in this track. I get a sense of Asian music, between the strings and the heavy drums. This did not feel dark, more mysterious I would say. I enjoyed this track!

Some lovely sounds you wrangled out of the mentioned hardware, bright and shiny but still has that beauty of your other tracks.  Such a nice transition to the plucky string section for the second half.

i really enjoy the way you play with space in your music, and this is a great example.
lighter that a lot of your work, sure, but there is still a depth & presence.

Without reading what you wrote, I heard the end of this and wondered if that was clouds. It sounds so cool and I must say I’m tempted by it.

Cool track getting some great sounds out there

Thanks for the kind words and for simply listening.  I'm catching up listening and commenting now.  I've got report writing to do soon so if I don't it now, the reports will drown me in feedback writing.  Haha.

Thanks again.

And yes, Clouds is great.  Beads is great too but there's something about Clouds which I kind of prefer sonically.
