Sorry for the lack of content during the past few weeks, I was ill and took a while to recover. Here's a short piano improv intro and highlight from the Twitch livestream on 1st March 2024.

Thanks for your reply for me asking for it to be released as a long form track. I meant to say once it's finished somewhere in there, I got a bit mashed in my brain. No worries, I've got this to listen to for now, thanks again. Regards Rob.

Absolutely sublime, pre release production it may be, but the central body of this work is just so hypnotically transient & heavenly. The run time is therapeutic, calming, and yeh I'm travelling somewhere thru the summer sun white fluffy clouds. Please release this as a long form track as above, don't shorten it I beg of you. Now joint number 1 in my SA top ten. Regards Rob.

You're welcome to rip the audio to this stream if you want to :) I couldn't really release this as is as a longform track, most of it is without an arrangement and there's too many production interruptions etc, loud/unbalanced/messy parts. I'm sure it'll turn into a full track at some point though. I doubt it'll make it onto the 3rd May Alpha II release either, but I can try.

This track, this track, this marvelous track: in five short days has become essential to my current work. From the gorgeous piano invitation & provocations (ever the Lighthouse), to the liminal-space transition with, gently, finally, its initial exploration of theme, to the bones of the groove, to the final 50-minute bounce with smiling wondering "what if's?" sprinkled in and out. Writing with this piece playing is a flow-dream. It is a problem solver, a can opener, a _sonic screwdriver_. If I am ever done with the current work, there will be somewhere in its front-matter a mention of State Azure, "without whom this could not have happened." I hope it's okay, but just had to do something concrete here in view of the larger world, separate from the Patreon. Thank you for your work. It's meaningful; connects, changes things. --R

Hey there I am sorry you had to endure all that but glad to see and hear you back doing awesome ambient work! These lovely piano notes are special in part due to the improv aspect of it. I usually play improvs myself on my ancient keyboards whenever I am able, but I must admit its a fair bit less HiFi than yours for sure 😄 🎹 🎶

Great work. Awesome list of gear. You're a passion ist. Maybe you can tell me what instrument is loaded in the first Kontakt7-Slot with this beauty ambient thing? Thanks for sharing...

@stateazure Ай бұрын

Sorry for the late reply, your comment had been auto-blocked for some reason. I think the first Kontakt layer includes Hemisphere by Fracture Sounds, almost certain and it's recorded into the Enso looper

I love your music, you inspire me as an artist. Next time you are under the weather try my special tea! It really works I haven't been sick since last year its called Pine Needle & Organic roasted dandelion with lemon and honey. Its antioxidants is very powerful and at first it dose taste bitter but you will get used to it after a while. I swear by this tea it is very good for your heath so try it and let me know what you think😃

Wish I could manage this. My tracks are recorded live but after attempts are done. One take is one take. But one attempt is a different endeavor. Props
