04.07.12 | So yeah, I was mostly influenced by Moby's ambient tracks which most are really amazing. Any opinions are welcomed.

04.07.12 | Beautiful, checked out the first 3 tracks.
How did you record? |

04.07.12 | Thanks! I used FL Studio 8 (ePiano settings for Rhodes and Piano with Reeverb) and a 2 octaves MIDI keyboard from Miditech. Nothing expensive, I bought it to learn to play keyboards.
I love the sound you get with the Reeverb's decay set at about 4-5 seconds and the reverb at around 40%. Setting them higher will only drown the sound at one point and usually cause a weird, high pitched sound like there is on the 4th track. |

04.07.12 | Nice man, there's a lot of fun to be had with reverb.
There's a real simple yet beautiful feel to the tracks you've created there, I've written stuff pretty similar. |

04.07.12 | I tried to make it up for the fact that I'm not skilled at playing keyboards. Plus, cramming a lot of sounds doesn't help that much for ambient stuff. Do you have any of your stuff posted anywhere? |
SCREAMorphine
04.07.12 | Yeah I suck keyboard, simple melodies is the only thing any good at.
I don't really have anything recent posted anywhere because I don't have access to any recording equipment at the moment, though I have something I recorded awhile ago that's not to similar but might be interesting. http://www.triplejunearthed.com/AltonaDaydream

04.07.12 | I liked it.
I reckon after a little more work on 3 that track would be awesome. If it were me I'd be playing around with the overlap between chords a little more and teasing some half-bar notes in, as well as possibly adding an incredibly faint track in the background. But that's just me. Seriously, the whole things great though. (: |

04.07.12 | Thanks StrangerofSorts! I did this a couple of years ago with little knowledge on keyboards. I should try and do things again since now I know more chords and I also have more pads from Absynth and Reason. |

04.07.12 | Thought this would be Above The Graves 2.0
But wow I was wrong. Excellent work man :) |

04.07.12 | Cool stuff even if it's not my thing. You should post links to your progressive rock band too. |

04.07.12 | Haha thanks. I guess I should, maybe put the album for a stream or something for someone might review it. |
