Last week one of my long lost ideas came into being; a podcast called Crystal Dreams. It's taken a few months to get it online and there's still more work to do but it's up and running. Boy it feels good :)
The idea behind Crystal Dreams is to have an online destination when anyone can listen to the ambient/relaxation music that I've been working on. These tracks are basically improvisations and will be different each time even though some of the episodes may contain common elements. Regardless of that it will be music to chill out to with a fresh cup of tea (or whatever you drink). Nothing too demanding on the brain so that the mind is free to wonder.
Episode 1 has been created entirely in Ableton Live 7 with most of the analog style sound effects come from Ableton Operator. I must say I'm really getting into Operator and having a great time. Mapping the on-screen dials to the knobs on my Behringer UMX-25 midi controller makes building patches a breeze! Maybe one day I'll make a live pack of patches for everyone to download. But until then you'll have to keep your ears tuned to this podcast to see what I come up with.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
