The Lichen Tree

Written and recorded end of August 2016 this little ambient loop features a Juno-6 pad and Strings from a Korg Delta.  Drums and big bass are from Ultrabeat and synth melody in second half is on a Yamaha CS6x.  Sunset is at St.David's in Wales, looking out over the Atlantic.

A straight-to-2 track recording using just my Juno-6 for the pad and my acoustic steel string looped through the RC-20XL.  The two instruments really complement each other to produce a nice  atmospheric piece.

This track was created for the AEMC compilation vol 4.  All contributors provided 2 samples each and then created their piece using only samples from the collective pool.
