Love this. Atmospheric. Crystal clear recording

wonderful and full of inspiration composition, great atmosphere

Very nice, a wonderful mix of instrument played with grace. Very cool with the background image on the track as well :D

nice! great atmosphere sounds like a nice city :)

Another musical daydream based on experiments with modular synthesis, starting with various arpeggiated chords from the E370 internal sequencer and explorations of the Xoac digital frequency shifter, useful for making dramatic bass sounds. The piece finishes quietly with a nighttime field recording of Echo Lake (Maine) set to musical accompaniment  - you can hear some loon calls if you listen carefully. 

Much has happened in the last few months: a move required the studio be put in storage for months, then when it was fully restored in our new home, the music computer died. Now that the new music work station is installed and ready for action, I'm finally back in business again. Some of the clips used here were developed in the computer's absence, hence an experiment in DAW-less sound design, which I must admit, isn't my favorite way to work.

So thanks for listening, it's much appreciated.

Deuxième Guiter

Just a little experimental drone to test out some oscillator sync ideas, using the DPO and XPO (and other stuff) in my recently reconfigured Make Noise Shared System (see photo), and my new reverb (Chase Bliss CXM 1978). Also a way of exercising my new subwoofer.

The three oscillators (DPO A, DPO B, and XPO) are synced to each other in a circular fashion (see below for more details). They were initially tuned to the same pitch but there is a small amount of slow pitch modulation applied to all three. There is also a bunch of other slow modulation affecting the filter (QPAS) and the delay (Mimeophon) as well as other aspects of the oscillators. All the modulation comes from an Instruo Ochd, which is the only non-Make Noise module in this system. Finally through the CXM 1978. No post-production other than fade-in/fade-out and normalization.

Warning: lots of deep lows. Use headphones or preferably good speakers (best with a subwoofer).

For the modular nerds, here's how the oscillators are connected together:
- XPO Spike output to DPO X-Lock (this syncs the DPO B oscillator to the XPO)
- DPO A oscillator in Sync mode (which syncs it to DPO oscillator B)
- DPO A oscillator triangle output to XPO sync input

In addition:
- DPO A sine output ring-modulated to DPO B sine output (using section 1 of modDemix)
- DPO B sine output ring-modulated to DPO A sine output (using section 2 of modDemix)

Urban Tones (naviarhaiku351)

multi-instrumentalist & composer.
music for images / instrumental / contemporary post-fusion / experimental jazz / electro acoustic ambient / melodic noise / neoclassical / naive hard core / cosmopolitan world music.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
