I couldn't find the originals, but I did redo it this week, and made 3 versions. There is still the version I did in 2006 (and wow, you can hear the difference 3 years makes!).

Cheers all!

Kevin First off is a giant drone piece (at about 18 minutes) for all of you out there looking for long pads for placing under things.

Tranquility Base

Next up, deep texture:

Mind Scrape

And finally - a piece where I was playing around with a new sample set "Evolve" from Heavyocity. After a few hours of playing with the giant percussion - I ended up with a piece that sounded like a Blue Man Group performance piece. Way too much like them, actually - I was a little scared that I had inadvertently covered one of their pieces... I did some research, and checked with my local experts. It is not a Blue Man piece. (whew!)

Neo Western

Cheers, all!
