That fragile moment of freedom in between the notes! 

Long time did not capture my Cordoba KOA Edition nylon-string guitar. That day found guitar with a broken string, but it still had 5 more, so did not stop the inspiration. Backing track is tweaked NI Picked Nylon picking and Korg Gadget project on iPhoneX. Played guitar, recorded  sound in parallel into direct interface and a also room mic to capture the atmos and happy-little-accidents. Mastered with UA Oxide Tape, IK, and FabFilters in Live 11. New track will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled "Love", some day, maybe. TNX!

A lil bit of my blue Fender Stratocaster, OB-Xa, MiniMoog and other Arturia V synth plugs.

Cover art: NASA Earth "hairs" (dark matter filaments streaming thru the Earth) + Michelangelo (of course) + color flairs & glitches on Photoleap app (required).

Hello! Here we go

Notes from the past like whispers in air
Time may fade but they’re always there
Echoes of laughter in frames they stay
Flickering moments that won’t drift away

Notes from the past

noxpox - maid is coming down the hill

Cut for time

Unknown Land

My punk arse needed to play something very raw immediately! Like right NOW! :) Gonna get bumpy and you've being warned! hell yeah, one minute (and now by persistent request two minutes :)! I bet it finishes earlier when you press a Skip button :P  

I broke 3 good guitar picks on my Yamaha electric bass on this outburst! and grinding the Fender Silver Bullet strings on Fender Strat, (couple of those on the cover art... ney I got more solid ones, but soft picks gave nice feel to jamn').  Played by me on Fender Start and Yamaha Electric bass. Used Line 6 Pod XT and B-52 LS-100 Head and 4x12 B-52 cab.

This track is dedicated to our cat Max 🐱  Real hunter, half stray/ferret cat, brave character. We did not buy or adopt him. Young fella adopted us, coming one time to stay for good. Cleaned two blocks around which is all his territory now. He lost left eye in his streets battles last year. Now looks around even when eats from his bowl. Cat's life ain't easy.... :)

All sound is 100% organic Korg Gadget app on iPad. Mixing and mastering Ableton Live 9. 133.3Bpm

If you like to play this tune over your YouTube cats videos, just ask me for permission. No royalty, so you can monetize it (after legally downloading track and contacting me)

Scaredy Cat

In this light tune enjoying pure sound of Odessei - the Korg Gadget replica of the classic synth. It should be fun to play a real one. Made on iPhone X small touch surface.

Thank for bearing with me listening small one session tunes. Let’s keep it alive! :)

Odyssey (Islander Mix)

Loving Psytrance (and Psybient) genres for dynamics, pressure and overall coolness. I've being trying to learn it for some years now. Posting first time, thinking remix is a good opportunity. Original track by Stan Kolev is Progressive House (stems provided for remix comps at Metapop. I like mix with stems vs. finished song. Though here I used FX and vox stems from original. Drums and bass and synths are mine :). Remixing is good for you - you learn and find your own sound faster! 

If you approve of it I keep making my Psy tracks. For now start with remix post. If it's good - it's not my credit, if not - not my fault neither :P LOL  Original stems by Stan Kolev (used most of FX and vox). The main drums, bass, synths are mine from Moog, Arturia and Korg. Ableton Live 10, IK Multimedia.



Non-monetized (even if you see ads, it's not me - SoundCloud plays adds on all my tracks :) All rights go to Stan Kolev and his label, I just had some phunn!
