The Perseverance Rover recoded wind noise on the surface a few days after touching down on the red planet.  I took those wave forms (mostly irregular sine waves) and imported them to the Summit synthesizer.  This song uses ONLY those wave forms  generated 155 million miles away using two unique patches.  The intent is to capture both the wispy and rumble character of the Martian wind.
The original sound may be found on Soundcloud via NASA- "first audio recording of sounds on mars".

Winds Of Mars

The Sarabande from J. S. Bach's second French Suite played on the DSI Prophet '08 and Korg MS-20 mini.

To play comfortably I connected the Prophet via MIDI to the MS-20 and turned local control off, using another keyboard (my DX-7 II's) to play the Prophet.

Usual effects provided by the Maxon AD-900 analog delay (only on MS-20) and the Lexicon MX-300 (reverberation for both instruments).

Everything played live; plain recording straight from my mixer/interface into Logic as 96kHz / 24 bit audio.

You can watch the video on my YouTube channel.

Enjoy!

This album is a homage to Vangelis, especially to his work in the 1970's and early 80's.

lyrics:
Driving that same dirt road
Breaking my back again
Crashing that same ol’ car 
Chasing my own demise
Taking you down with my own two eyes
Falling asleep with just a simple smile

Consequence of you 
Consequence of me 
Consequence of you and me 
Making the space for that second chance
Consequence of you and me
Betting a dance on this doomed romance

Consequence

Take my hand into the sea
Lay me down where you first found me
Tired eyes are sick and sore
Bough’s broke can’t give you more

Passing on the days
Recalling all the ways

Broken Lullaby and broken hymns 
Broken Lullaby won’t let me in (win)
Broken Lullaby and broken skin 
Broken Lullaby Broken Lullaby

On my knees to break the spell
Heavy hand repeating this hell
By the shore each time is weak
Every step the moments cheat

Passing on the days
Forgetting all the ways

Broken Lullaby…..

With this cheek I lead the way
Past the scene that’ll always hold me
And they say, “It’s all far gone..”
Heaven knows it would take me this long

Broken Lullaby

Broken Lullaby

Saxophonist and composer Joseph Shabason’s debut Aytche builds a bridge off of the precipice his forbears established, skirting jazz, ambient, and even new age with the same deliberate genre-ambiguity that made their work so interesting.

Aytche is a document of exploration both inward and outward. Every step taken in sound-design mirrors a stride in emotionality, as Shabason employs a variety of effect pedals to coax rich moody textures from his instrument.  He explains, "I feel like robbing the sax of the ability to shred by effecting it and turning it into a dense chordal instrument really helps the instrument become something that it's not usually known for."  Aytche deals with themes of degenerative illness and assisted suicide with eloquence that instrumental music rarely achieves regarding any subject, much less such difficult ones.

Album highlight “Westmeath” approaches Aytche’s subject of inspiration head-on. Here, the album’s only verbalization appears in the form of an interview with a man discussing his father’s trauma and eventual suicide after surviving the holocaust.  Though we only hear a few obscured words and phrases from the interview, the impact is powerful.  For Shabason, whose grandparents survived the holocaust, this selection is anything but frivolous.
