Nocturne

Kalle,

Congratulations on this work!

I am a big fan of early Tangerine Dream and so your
piece was a special treat -- it sounded very much like
work done on an old modular system.

I was especially impressed with the spartan equipment
you used -- what a lesson to be learned there that very
little is needed to get excellant results when talent
is present.

I agree with your ideas too about simple timbres --
many of the deepest electronic and ambient works
involve very simple sounds expertly arranged and
manipulated. (I also am a great fan of Jarre who has
achieved remarkable results keeping it simple, though
his early simple stuff is not microtonal like his later
excursions into Arabic inspired music.)

Your piece is so well done too, I'm surprised we
haven't heard more of you before but now that you've
peeked out I hope you won't be a stranger.

- Jeff

Thanks! Wow! Nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks it
sounds "dreamy".

Well, I have been listening to lots of Isao Tomita lately! :)

No I won't now that I have gotten so heartwarming support from you
people!

Thanks a lot, folks!
