Another brooding piano piece with a wide, spacious soundscape.

This is a piece created with LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang) using two libraries, one for music theory and the other for converting abstract scales to actual notes as played by a sampled piano. It was actually created as a demo for new (very basic) features that have landed recently.

The progression is as follows: i, ii, V, i, IV, i, ii, V, i, V (Cm, D dim, G, Cm, F, Cm, D dim, G, Cm, G)

Software used:
* Erlang 24 + LFE 2.0
* undertheory, undermidi, midilib
* VI Labs True Keys sampled piano (German)
* Studio One + Analog Delay, Valhalla Room, UAD Capitol Chambers

The Forgotten Tones project focuses on recreating the sounds and feelings of the original analog "space" music (ambient, early electronica, Berlin school) using instruments such as the Minimoog, Mellotron, and even analog modular synths. Explorations with later equipment are also pursued, in the interest of continuing the lineage of classic sound.

Inspirations include groups and individuals that span several decades such as Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Rick Wakeman, Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, Michael Stearns, Vangelis, Steve Roach, and Paul Speer. Modern inspirations include Paul Lawler, Erik Wøllo, Jonn Serrie, Gert Emmens, Telomere, and Time Being.

Currently working on several projects right now: 
1) a concept album as an homage to the mid-1970s work of Tangerine Dream and Rick Wakeman;
2) a space music album that will include the full-length, production version of "CONJVNCTIO IOVIS ET SATVRNI"; the remaining tracks on the album will be in the same vein; and
3) a series of studies on the Moog using Bach pieces as the canvas upon which to experiment.
