I just released ‘(Look for a) Compromise’, the last track for my ‘Ambient Music’ album which is now complete.
‘(Look for a) Compromise’ is build upon a simple riff created during jamming with the free APC Cloudrum virtual instrument. As the (loop-based) intro of this song strongly reminded me of Pink Floyd’s classical ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ I have added some instruments from this song in this composition, please note that I have only used the sound (created with the ‘Floyd Tribute’ presets in Arturia’s Analog Lab V), not the actual notes. The percussion tracks were created mainly with iZotope’s Breaktweaker and the ‘Action Strikes‘ Kontakt instrument, for the melodic percussion tracks I have used ‘Mallet Flux‘. I also used several (sampled) gongs in this track as I’m a big fan of gongs, especially the Javanese ‘Gong Agung‘ with which this song starts.
Before starting with my next ambient music album I am now finishing some tracks for my ‘other music‘ project.
