A rough cut of a little song I made on the Polyend Tracker. Self-imposed constraints were to use only built-in instruments, use no more than 3 tracks, and construct all melodic elements by ear (not from a theoretical perspective).

Still needs some final touches.

Exotic Prancer

I made this track over several months, just dipping in every few weeks.

Moondrops

A first experiment with the Makenoise 0-CTRL and Xaoc Sofia. Drums provided by Pittsburgh Modular Double Helix.

No-Sophos

The prepared piano becomes a celestial canvas as magnetic whispers guide the notes, weaving a love story through cosmic vibrations.

"Wow! Just wow!
Just listened to it through the speakers of my phone – so I may only got half of it for now – but it's so impressive already.
I get associations with retro sci-fi movies in strange colors. Maybe because some overtone harmonics remind me on old Wurlitzer-style 50s organs (with hefty tremolo ;) ), as if I'm caught in a neverending beaming process, while Scotty is stoned.
What I also like is the restless pace - this constant movement makes it "gripping" almost.

This is not the 7692th piece of music that typically comes out, when someone makes experimental electronics. This is super refreshing with it's very own character. And with birds, I might add (!).
Super nice!!" 

Thanks for your kind feedback, Herr Irrtum!   :-D

This is a recording the rehearsal  of the set that I performed at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, CA on 9/1/2024.  During the actual performance I incurred a technical failure that disabled one of the voices used in this piece.  If you were there to hear it live see if you remember enough to hear the difference.
