Yes! Great sound! Interesting use of Crystal. You've got it going on an Intel with GB 4? Didn't think it worked, or has it been updated? I must reinstall it. Totally cool synth. Check out the preset pack also, if you don't have it. Look on Greenoak's pages for details and follow the installation instructions carefully - you have to create a folder in your prefs and put them there. You get a whole lot more sounds - all for free! Good stuff. You should definitely work on this, it has the makings of a very good dark ambient track. :-) |

Wonderful.. ..I have to download chrystal, too. As mentioned by feter before: Would be a great sc-fi track. Has some real nice old school touch, but I can't describe why... Thank you for sharing. Grettings from a cold but sunny autumn day in Germany! Bernd |

OK, so there's your experiment... time to turn this little snippet into something fully developed. Your idea of using a single note is great. Go for it. I heard a long ambient piece once that was a single dominant 7th chord without a third (so, I guess, EBD). The only variation was on the effects on each of the three notes, including volume modulation. One of the coolest ambient tracks ever. With your mastery of tone and effects, you could turn this into something really powerful. Great sounds, totally consistent with the theme and visuals. |

Cinematic Sci-Fi! Great stuff man. Makes me want to break out my Babylon 5 DVD's and watch some episodes! Be well friend! |

Doom Great soundscape you've created. Experiments sometimes turn into the best stuff and I love your ideas behind this piece. I thought the sounds you chose, the way you chose to use Crystal was great - all worked very well together. I see this as a great intro to a long masterpiece. And I always love that your songs are truly soundtracks for what you have read. Gives great depth and background to the music. Thanks for another great piece, Henke! |

pitchbend... or... pitch-blend? Cool effects do come out of just letting the crystal oscillate for awhile, huh? The piece ends on an odd chord, but perhaps you wanted it dangling there. This is very cool, that with very little number of instruments or notes, you can get such variety. I feel lost in a wash of synths! :-) ttfn, Drakonis |

This is great. Thanks for sharing the background and your experimentations. I always end up 'cheating' when I set myself parameters, but I figure they're there to help you come up with great music, not to stifle you. This makes me listen to texture and timbre, rather than melody or harmonic progression, so it makes me stretch myself as a listener, too. I'm waiting to hear what you do to it after this. |

Crystal Demo Thanks for a fine example of what to expect from crystal. Hard to believe it produces such sounds with the 3 notes you chose. Cool stuff. |

Very mesmerizing. I listened to Phenomenon and I opened it in three windows, starting each one after a short delay. It blended together like other music usually doesn't. I'm going to do this with your piece. I expect it to become more engrossing and powerful. Thanks. |

excellent love this and i am really glad that you put in the description regarding your techniques. i really wish that I could get crystal to work on my computer. this is just beautiful. i may take you up on the idea of a remix, probably wouldn't change anything but the synth sounds, just to see how it would work with other synths. really nice piece. |
Very cinematic, I see strange places, moonscapes, warm misty mountain tops or even caves. Or a post-battle scene as you describe. There's a lot in that 2:05!
Did you ever hear Bud's 'Phenomenon"? That is dynamic minimalism by accident, but you have gone that step further and created a beautiful soundscape, which demands to be expanded into a full blown piece.
And for the record - there's no cheating in making digital music - the tools are there for using!
All the best and thanks for sharing,
Jim
