thank you for so many wonderful tracks that i fall asleep to many wonderful nights and I don't thank you enough but you are our go-to drone dr. around here *) #1 very special !!

What a great title! And such sweet noise fading into heaven! :-)

I'll not be capable, as a listener, of keeping up with your creativity… as already mentioned several times: Great power lies here in the (s)pacing, the long mystical fade outs… 

It's so beautiful to watch things settle down. There have been a few people here, me among them, to use this effect, it's really a kind of new formal idea. Why always end with a big cymbal crash? 

what amazing sounds you have put together...

reminds me of the old star trek sounds from the 1960s... scottie already beams up in this moment!!! really goood work :D

mighty and humble on a grand scale, Tuonela. Love it /HM

an autumn nightfall (Naviarhaiku 617)

My fav trio at work: DFAM and Subharmonicon doing all the chord and pad lifting and sequencing while DIY Minimoog fills in the bass.

In Nihongo "Deska?" or 'Desu ka?' means on varying context "to be?", "I see", "Is that so?" the context here supports all three.

Unless that is wrong and then this song just has a rhythmic audio segment:p. 

Another track for the Topple solo project. This one is combined to its previous track. Always trying things on for size but when I'm quick to morph to the dimensions of the vessel its had to tell how I'll ever actually fit...
This one is for all of those out there, 
out there. 
Somewhere out there, 
you are out there; 
you know who you are!
Far out! 
Next time you crack open the sky,
Have another for my sake. 
We will take turns breathing
We will share our time out there.
We will peer through the modern sky
Below the ancient land.

Modern Skies/Ancient Lands (Stage 2)

I saw a video of a catfish eating a pigeon that had come to drink water on the banks of the Seine River that runs through Paris. From the catfish's perspective, it's easier to eat an unsuspecting pigeon than to go to the trouble of chasing a small fish. The TV commentary said, "Humans build cities, and nature acquires new adaptations." The number of bears in Japan has become so large that they are coming down from the forests into urban areas and attacking people. Global warming has made Japan's summers harsher, depriving us of the opportunity to enjoy the autumn leaves in our beloved forests.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...

They are waiting with maps of heaven
