Dear David

I enjoyed these pieces very much. I don't suppose you'd like to share details of your set up, in
particular your sound generator. I heard a lot of pulsing in Blurry Day (we talk of blurry cold
days over here). Were these beats or FX or real time mixing or what? I've been make music for
meditation and relaxation with a Doepfer A-100 analogue system which always comes out too bloopey
and I think it freaks out the meditators though they are usually too polite to say so..... But I
found these "chord landscapes" to be most relaxing.

Best Wishes.

Korg MS2000R, a Line 6 DL4 delay and a bit of tube distortion.

Really! I didn't know that, but we've had a few of those
around here lately (NYC/NJ).

Ummm...it could have been the tuning, on one of the patches
I found the LFO controling pitch (a no-no for me), so I'd
like to re-record these pieces in the near future. With the Korg
I can only play 4 notes at a time so what you might be hearing is
a melody drenched in many generations of echo.

And that's what I was going for. Thanks.
