Can't wait to start integrating B2 into new projects. Simply outstanding.

Tunes of 2016

As the saying goes: nothing ever ends well, otherwise it would not end. And yet large parts of us still wish things would not end, even after we convince ourselves it is for the best. Is it an act of grace to accept fate and slowly fade away without a fight, or does the universe want to test our resolve and see just how far we are willing to go to obtain, and more importantly perhaps to keep, the object of our desires? It is human not to know; it is human to exist in bewilderment regarding such matters. Being aware of this, however, never makes it any easier. Endings always bring an emptiness in a person's heart and soul. No one ever wants to fail, but sometimes we wait too long to really try in the right ways to truly succeed. The eleventh hour concession is always the hardest case to handle. It leaves one with many doubts. It leaves a person with the hope that things would be, could be, should be, better if only... In such cases the weather can be forever raining in one's heart. 

ALBUM INFO:

"The Idea Of You" is the first of a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may it help you on your journey, as it has us...

The Idea Of You Cover Art "The Idea Of You" is music inspired by the spirit of Eros and all of its blessings as well as its tribulations. It explores the vicissitudes of romantic love, the delicate seasons and contour of life, and all the lessons learned along the way. Themes of desire, passion, limerence, romantic love, idolatry, jealousy, envy, loss, regret, forgiveness, acknowledgment, appreciation, acceptance, and eventually glimpses of true understanding permeate the work. It attempts to communicate that which so many of us can never quite communicate properly with words. It is an open apology for the clumsy mistakes we all make when coming to maturity in learning how to care selflessly for another human being. It is a gentle reminder as to what is most important in life, as well as an invocation to continuously seek self-improvement regarding our understanding of such matters.

A new factory library by Ufuk Kevser. 50 awesome sounds suitable for trance, electro, dubstep and more!

Factory - Ufuk Kevser - Individual Preset Demos

Four rendered instances of Kaleidoscope processing the identical source sound - an animated drone texture from my Diversion soundset Diversity 2 - using 4 similar custom presets from the same preset family. Some Übermod, crusherX and B2 process the individual audio files, each rendered audio file is repeated twice and each track has individual volume automation.

Uni Pearls - Kaleidoscope Etude

Six instances of Kaleidoscope running in parallelel using similar custom presets/images only using the internal noise generator to excite the resonators, some post-processing applied to a narrow high and a narrow low-mid frequency band in RX4 Advanced.

Sine Stalactites - Kaleidoscope Etude

A Kate Bush interview processed with Kaleidoscope.

Giger #1

Processing three layers - vocal phrase, bass flute impro and tuvan throat singing from MetaVox for Alchemy - with the same instance of Kaleidoscope, the Tuvan drone has volume automation applied so the original signal fades in and out, the other two signals are only audible via Kaleidoscope (100% wet), some B2 reverb inserted post-KS.

Minor Kaleidoverse

New ambient piece for the second upcoming Wayfarer project titled "Art Official Life".  

A deeply mediative piece...

All sounds are created entirely with a combination of 2CAudio Kaleidoscope and B2, which I am the inventor/designer of...

Wayfarer - -Elysian Fields

Be careful to sow wisely the good seed, for one day you may have to eat its fruit.  Perhaps grace is not demanding to receive everything that we think we are entitled to by our own merit or position, but rather to instead give thanks for not receiving everything we may deserve for our failures and folly. Let us be diligent year round to do the best we can to nurture our crop. Let us be humbly content to accept result of these efforts, whatever it may be, at the time of the harvest.

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

Andrew Souter -- The Harvest

A Portfolio piece inspired by the music from movies such as 300 and Gladiator, as well as the TV series Spartacus.

Hereby we proudly present our demo track for the upcoming, and marvelous U-NO-LX VSTi from TAL. Since we're betatesting this plugin we thought it would be nice to make a nice demo for TAL to show what this, really good emulation of the Roland Juno-60, is capable of.

For this track we used only 20 instances of the beta version of this plugin and the Precision Limiter from UAD on the mainbus to make the track a little bit louder. So no EQ, Compressors, Reverb and Delay or other plugins. In other words this is what the plugin is capable of and your listening to the RAW sound of this beauty!

Use headphones please. I have have been programming synthesizers for 14 years using Reaktor. I'm not interested in any video games so I spend my free time "playing" and writing music in Reaktor. Every sound you hear is synthesized, sequenced using my code and some help from the Reaktor Forum and User Library.
