I've been kindly invited by *LUM* @lum-9 to collaborate on his track https://soundcloud.com/lum-9/understanding in search  of magic, how could I turn down such a quest? :)
But, among all... how did he find me? Well, I had listened to one of his tracks and liked it...
But how did I find his track? Well, it was based on this open collaboration track https://soundcloud.com/rachel-gaskin-whitrod/echos-revisted-mastered by my dear friend Rachel Gaskin-Whitrod @rachel-gaskin-whitrod and she had reposted it...
...so, Rachel, if you're reading this... It's all your fault !!!! :D

Magic or not, I hope you'll enjoy the result; feedback welcome as always! :)

Don't forget to check the other great remixes! You'll find them here:

LUM - Understanding (copyc4t remix)

Exploring music and sound possibilities on Linux. The search for software that can make me appear talented has failed so far; oh well... O:-)

...what software can't do, people can: collaborations!

A very special mention to @rachel-gaskin-whitrod (also known as InterStella-Moonbeam, and .~ReD~. at the time) for my first SC collab,
and to @Yugin83 for my first SC collab in Italian

How big will this collab list become? For now, let's start with...

Some of my tracks are now featured in compilations by a daring and experimental producer: @kutmusic

I love music and many other things (AND CHAOS!) so sometimes it’s hard to be consistent and regular. Hope I’ll write more in the future.

Also, I’m awful at genre descriptions. Please forgive me.

I am currently involved in various activities, from making songs to creating audio files for Pond5.  I focus on soundscape, ambient, and piano music. If you want to contact me, my email is achazia74@gmail.com. (Gonna rebrand myself again. I can't decide)

I am also trying to connect with people on twitter as I like that plattform for interaction: https://x.com/achaziamusic

Nearly all my songs are originals (see descriptions on the songs). I do everything myself, from composing and arranging to mixing.  I use Propellerhead's Reason.

I wish I had more time to make music, but my full-time job and daily duties require a lot of my time as well! :) For now, I am happy to do music as a hobby and have no further ambition than that.

My musical references and inspirations come from artists like Sigur Rós, Anathema, Clannad, Loreena McKennitt, and a few Norwegian artists. I also get inspired by books and movies with a fantasy/medieval feel, like Tolkien's work.

Original pieces created using a mixture of four polyphonic CraftSynth version 1 hardware synth engines from Modal Electronics; a CraftSynth version 2 wave-table hardware synth, also from Modal Electronics,  Garage Band's software synth, PLUS the Codex software synth and the Element Software synth from Waves Audio. And the latest addition, a Korg Volca FM digital synthesiser.

New additions include a Korg Volca Keys synth and the tiny but amazing Korg NTS-1.

And at last, I've got my hands on a Modal Skulpt!

I try to mix and match these synths together in the pieces that I create, producing some quite unique sounds from my home-made synth array.
