Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 30 2012, 15:23 Tried to make some noise on my keyboard. It has good polyphony, no computer or loop device is used... Using only 2 notes. Please play it loud or don't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRiKpkvR4Ak I think it's a little bit Tangerine Dream meets Inception (which is about dreams too), but I only realized afterwards, the inspiration was completely subconscious which makes sense since it's about dreams. My original intent, believe it or not, was to do an upbeat dance track, this quickly deteriorates into this as I was researching the sound, and when I had the idea to add an overdriven  organ, it was indeed over for the dance, dark minimalist stuff instead.

Anyway, I digress. Quite an interesting piece. You are getting some interesting noise out of that Nord. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Knöb as you wrote it is a legitimate German surname and also a character in World of Warcraft. The atmosphere and mood of your song (which IMHO is a bit repetitive, but very good on a sonical level) is, I think, very appropriate to WoW, so I'd advise you to keep the original title. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 31 2012, 20:39 OK. Changing it back. I've put the 2 dots to make it look Swedish, to me, as the keyboard is made there, and the track is all about this particular keyboard providing organ, synth, and piano. Repetitive because I wanted to use only 2 notes, not even 2 chords, 2 notes. It was a way to force me to work hard on the sound I guess, but yes, it doesn't make sense musically to limit yourself in such a way. Back to top
