The Mines of Mirak

Description

Dark ambient. I made the name up, but when I checked, found out that "Mirak" is a planet in Star Trek. It's also a star - for real!

All made with the Zebra 2 softsynth, with a couple of FX from the DubStation AU.

Hope you might like it and thanks for stopping by!

	Pulcherrima .... A little puzzle for you. You really know how to put that Zebra to work. Top production, as always.

A puzzle! A Google!
I think [please correct] that "Pulcherrima" is another name for Mirak [or Mirac, Mirach, Mizar] which is situated in the constellation of Bootes. The Loincloth??

Also - Euphorbia Pulcherrima is the latin name for the Poinsettia, or "Christmas Star" plant, that people buy at that time of year. That's the best I can do!!

Thanks for the listen and comment. I love the Zebra, I wish I could do more with it.

MJ is so educational!
See, I also cheated and used Wikipedia to find out that Mirak is a double star system, with the most prominent member being an "orange giant."

"I think [please correct] that "Pulcherrima" is another name for Mirak [or Mirac, Mirach, Mizar] which is situated in the constellation of Bootes. The Loincloth??"

Ding ding ding ding!

Ah, but you only get partial credit. You missed the embedded compliment on your song: "Pulcherimma" means "the beautiful."

	Educational! Yes - and now you may have kindled an interest in the stars. I know nothing about them! As for "beautiful", well what can I say but thank you. Check out my latest song called Pavlov's Dog

	Space oddity There's something sinister going on in those mines. Some nice synth work. Enjoyed. Check out my latest song called Malphunktion

	Thanks AJ Yes, but the sinister may be coming funky soon. Keep listening! Check out my latest song called Pavlov's Dog

	Very nice Really liked this tune, the synth sounds are lovely and well arranged. Nice one, very impressed. P.s. Do you program your own settings on the Dubstation or (like me) just use the presets? Check out my latest song called Space Program (Space Race 2009)

davajonah	davajonah said 476 days ago (August 3rd, 2008)
	Cheers Bro! Erm... I tweak the presets. Programming is too much like hard work. ;-) Thanks for the listen. Check out my latest song called Pavlov's Dog

	Evocative Nicely elaborate array of sounds and textures blended in here ... I especially like when the bright bell-like sound comes in, around two-and-a-half minutes in. A finely crafted mixture. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)
