Opus 9 – Exceptional Synths

My opus 9 is inspired by Image Line’s Ogun synth, my newest addition to my VST collection.

I tinkered with the sounds and made two chord patterns, one in A minor and one in C major.

I also used the new synth Sawer, and some old friends, FLKeys, BooBass and Sytrus (for the guitar strumming at the end).

Now, the melody may seem a bit shallow, but thinking about it, it seems quite similar to some tunes written by the hero of my youth, Rick van der Linden, keyboard player of the Dutch group “Ekseption”. However, I’m now satisfied with the result, I invented everything myself, including the rhythm, and worked harder on the mix.

So here it is: my opus nine. Maybe I still haven’t reached the status of a mature composer, but I’ll keep trying.

  • The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge

    Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns. As an artist chooses colours or light to make her pictures, a master of shih chooses textures of knowledge – various ideas, myths, abstractions, and theories – to create a way of seeing the world. The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.

    – David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993

  • Geek Attitude

    The attitude thing is about flexibility, portability, creativity, sociability and jamming (ran out of suitable “ity” words!). It’s about improvising – in the practical and musical senses of the word; not getting tangled in boundaries and the “right” way to do things.
    Definitely the only way to travel.
