I enjoy rediscovering the beauty of common and trivial things

'beauty continues to amaze'
Boards of Canada-esque. I like how the strings come in and flow subtly underneath everything else. Purely magic.

Oh, and you used buzz as your tracker then? Nice stuff. I was looking into the Buzz replacement for Linux, Neil, but it's just very sloppy and you can't use VSTs with it.

Hmm, I really like it. I think I might be able to mimick it in Zynaddsubfx here in Linux, assuming I can force the waveform type to cooperate. Which probably will not work. Oh well, it's why I broke down and am now dual booting...

Thanks guys! arfink: It's Medusa 2 (Sine mode, no FM, 55% vib speed, 5% vib depth, 33% porta). For the attack pitch slide, I just placed a note -1 octave one tick in front of the tone. About the last part; we had a really strong storm here a few weeks ago, and I watched a small bird struggle the gales (strong enough to blow over people!), which it did amazingly graceful. I tried to capture that moment, it's the main inspiration for this track.

Oh wow, this is fantastic. Love the use of the portamento/slide for the bird-tone. What did you make this with? Your work never ceases to impress me. I also enjoy the lack of percussion, for the first bit, and how restrained it is later on.

Really like your waveforms on this one.
