Name: Torpor by Jo Nauversen
Duration: 8 min 48 s
Description: Only four tracks at work here. Again Subharmonicon does the chord progression and sequences the note changes on DFAM (bells). DFAM gets a touch of analog delay (XAOC Sarajewo), and everything is spread out in space and time via Strymon Starlab. As always everything was recorded simultaneously, no overdubs.

Beautiful track. Very nice overall mix, and a silky sound. I think of the lyrics of the song 'Golden Slumbers'...

There's a warmth and organic sound from your hardware, it's there instantly.

SC seems to be adding some distortion to bass/kick which sounds fine in WAV, hopefully won't be an issue for Spotify etc. It sounds fine on Bandcamp as well and it's free to listen there https://ubomusic.bandcamp.com/track/in-retrospect - thanks.

Pretty laid back, this started out with bass and drums and seemed to need go somewhere. The simple piano melody in the middle section is a grouping of 5-notes but off-set by 1/16 and then various delays added.

Drums: NI Kontakt sample pack.
Bass: Sandberg Elektra 4-string with flats through NI Guitar Rig.
Guitars: Godin Montreal Semi-Acoustic with flats and a Suhr Custom Classic both into Archetype Mateus Asato.
Keys: various NI and Arturia keys. Spitfire piano with Crow Hill Piano Rack.
Strings: Crow Hill Small String Gestures.
Mastering: Ozone 11 Standard.
DAW: Ableton 12.

In Retrospect

EARTHBOUND (5)

My absolute 'dream team' at work here: Subharmonicon does the chord progression and sequences the note changes on DFAM (bells) and my DIY Minimoog clone (bass). As always everything was recorded simultaneously. 

In A Room

Embedded

There is this forest in Japan, at the foothills of mount Fuji... it is also called "The Sea of Trees", where people have commited suicide and it's actually famous for this particular reason. Through my music I wanted to highlight the importance of life, the ultimate gift to be alive in this world...anyone that has suicidal thoughts pls, see a therapist asap!!! Try to see the beauty no matter what!! I hope you enjoy my walk in the Aokigahara forest :)

Beautiful piano, airy guitar and strings on this collection of 4 instrumental sounds. Blessings to you!

Memories (Opus 1)

dreams

Inspired by the short poem "Dust of Snow" by the American poet Robert Frost.

Dust of Snow

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
