Good Times album

From the founder of Surface 10:
The Stratos Ensemble reformation is starting to come together.  Won't be long before material for a new CD is formed.  This track won't make it to the CD because of technical difficulties, but it's a perfectly good track, given away for free.  The fender rhodes solo on this song was not played by Dean but rather the sax player Jim Goetsch. Totally improvised; two keyboardists and an ensemble.  High quality mp3.

Personal:
Brock Bowers - drums
Kent Baxter - bass
Jim Goetch - sax & fender rhodes
Dean De Benedictis - keyboards and production
Anjelo Alonte - Violin

@Sinoptik-Music is an artist hailing from Tbilisi who specialises in constructing densely textured, ambient soundscapes that envelop listeners in breathtaking atmospheres.

Next up the Georgian producer is debuting on R&S sublabel Apollo with a three-track EP titled ‘Voices In My Head’. The title track is an awe-inspiring cut that weaves together gentle percussive brushwork, shimmering synths and softly rolling piano chords to form a subtly powerful piece of music that’s steeped in understated emotion.

Premiere: Sinoptik Music 'Voices In My Head'

This is an unreleased track by the Stratos Ensemble, available here for free download. It is considered a part of their scrap material of 2013, but they were still moved enough by this particular track that sharing it seemed fitting to them. This track was improvised; it will not be released on any album, mainly due to minor audio blemishes in the recording that cannot be removed, which you may or may not notice.

Personnel on this track:
Jim Goetsch - sax
Brock Bowers - drums
Dean De Benedictis - synths and production
Kent Baxter - bass
Anjelo Elonte - violin

Alt Solace - The Stratos Ensemble (extras of 2013)

I wrote this song in 1986 for my first real band Phantasm. I thought I would challenge myself to record it now after all those years. Needs the vocals on it for sure.

The Stratos Ensemble is a progressive jazz band, the brainchild of producer Dean De Benedictis. The Fateless Flows Collective was an organization that Dean once ran, but now is simply the brand canopy that represents many of his extended projects, such as collaborations with original FF members and related material. Dean has decided to merge both his Stratos Ensemble content and his general Fateless Flows content on this particular SC page. 

The company name was originally the name of an electronic music collective Dean ran from 2003-05. From 2007-11 there was a plan to relaunch Fateless Flows as a record label, but it fell through. What remains are video channels on Youtube and Vimeo, and this Soundcloud page. Dean keeps his art and content coming, so he still uses the FF brand to release anything he works on that he also maintains rights control of, be it solo efforts or collaborative. Dean also has a separate SC page for his solo material.
