New Bandcamp Album - Other Times, Other Places

[folderol]

This is a mixture of majorly revised older tunes and completely new ones, all following an 'other world' theme.

Hi @folderol , as mentioned elsewhere: this is a brilliant trip through time. Not only can one compare these productions to earlier versions - where available -, but it is interesting to hear your development over time, the way your - not your style but - your focus shifted and your taste in sound. It's a fun album!

Very pleased you like this Jeanny.
The Avenger has a long and unique history. When first conceived I set up my only synth at the time (a Yamaha SY22) with 8 presets, switching between them while playing so I could play it through and record it straight to an open-reel taperecorder - I had no computer or other kit that could handle it. Needless to say, it had only the melody and bass lines. Also, on just one occasion I played it live at a local talent contest. That was in either 1993 or 1994 (not sure which) so you can say it has pedigree

P.S.
No it didn't win anything

The songs are very light in the best sense of the word! Positive, fairy tale-ish, playful. I like that! And the compositions match the soundscapes perfectly!

I think of Tangerine Dream and some Rick Wakeman record I have on vinyl that I don't remember the title of.

I have only listened to the 3 first tracks, so now I will continue my journey with the rest! Wait, The Last Unicorn, that was that improv piece -- I like it more now, great mix!

Thank you for sharing!

Ha! I wondered if anyone would pick that up. Glad you've enjoyed it so far.

@folderol did you do all tracks in Yoshimi? (hope the answer is not too obvious )

I always love your tracks. You make stuff that's distinctly electronic, that's something I really enjoy despite my appreciation of musical instruments. And I think that's the way to make electronic music.

In this album yes 100% Yoshimi. Actually, the only album I've released that isn't, is the Quietly Fading one. That uses a guitar track in a few places. Odd single tunes dotted around the 'net have a bit of a mixture.

Thanks a lot for that. I guess it's just the way my mop flops (as a lady friend once said)

Really pleasure music!
