  1. This is a piece I started writing a long time ago and finally decided to just quickly mix and finish. The Edge Prog
  2. Mag .. thats a lovely track. A little Zappa, for the melodies, and the voice But I hear some early King Crimson in there too. This would sound great with Trons Other than that .. wholly original
  3. .. Wouldn't I have loved some guitar picking Fripp-stle. I don't know anyone who can do that. If my music writing was anything other than hopelessly irregular, I might find a guitar-playing collaborator Yes all softsynth. Heavy use of Reaktor Session, z3ta+ and Pentagon. Cheers prog
  4. I have some new stuff over at my homepage (signature). Most of it can be found on my IUMA page as well. dualnatureofmatter.iuma.com The one I am particularly proud of is "Fripp U". Its the only song I have recorded recently (too busy) but I hope/think it shows the progress I have made over the past couple of years prog
  5. Hi folks, I have been around this site a while, but have never posted any music. There are so many good musicians on this board, that a newbie hobbyist like me has to shudder before posting any music. Anyway here is a piece called The Desolate Planet . It was written as several distinct parts, which I then patched together in an order than seemed to make sense to me. Picture a remote barren planet,uninhabited (or is it), prone to changes in weather patterns, sometimes extreme. All me, my QS7, and a bunch of softsynths. I mixed this just after building my new computer early this year. The song is pretty long, and not exactly mainstream, so bear with me Be gentle prog
  6. Hi Geoff, Thank you very much. Been around for a few weeks and have already picked up a few tips from here. .. and it is always good to find prog fans ... not an easy task these days Cheers prog
  7. Oh Boy, I feel really weird introducing myself here. At least one person knows me (Hi Squids!!!) In the daytime (and a lot of the night too), I am a research scientist/scientific programmer at a small San Diego biotech. In my freetime I am a 100% amateur keyboardist/computer-music guy. About 6 months ago, I started fulfilling a lifelong dream of setting up a home studio. Thanks to soft synths like Squids' SonicSynth, I have a passable studio now (good software, terrible hardware) where I am now trying to master the craft of composition, arranging and mixing. Passable keyboard player. Taught myself harmonium when I was a kid (yep, from India here) and years later taught myself how to play chords. Have about 1 months worth of formal jazz piano training and am finally getting back to teaching myself theory and jazz piano. If I can fulfil even a third of my musical dreams, I can die a happy man. One dream where I have great hopes is mixing. In past, some of the most fun I had was being in charge of a mixing console of stage productions in college. Now if only I could get a drum mix to sound right My musical styles (still trying to identify "my" voice) include Pink Floyd/Marillion-style prog rock, some Steely Dan style Jazz-Rock and in recent weeks I have been exposed to Bill Laswell's projects, leading to an interest in Indian-oriented D 'n B. As I said my hardware is nothing to write home about, but on the software side I use Host - Cubase 5.1 (sometimes Orion Pro) Wave Editing/Mastering - Cooledit2000 w. Studio Plug-in Soft Synths (in rough order of usage) LinPlug RM III SonicSynth LinPlug daOrgan and much less use Speedsoft VSampler 2.75 Triangle I and II JX16 Cheezemachine Cheers prog
