Description

From Cathedral To The Castle, is about some poor people walking to the Castle and convince the King to give them food.

No loops, all is done using synths, I try my very best using my keyboard.
It's not perfect but I sure had fun doing it… Cheers

	From Cathedral To The Castle Nothing's ever perfect, nor should it be (we are all human after all). But I don't hear any imperfections. I think you achieved what you were going for. An impressive piece of synth magic. Check out my latest song called Just Ain't Worth a Song (2 Track)

Skean	Skean said 1053 days ago (July 3rd, 2010)
	Thanks, Richard Yep all synths I had to test if I could do any and not use loops, so I guess it come more from just synths and maybe using drum/beats loops. Take care Kenta Check out my latest song called No Fun Anymore (Macjams is dead)

Skean

Skean said 1052 days ago (July 4th, 2010)

Thanks, Vic
It's not so many tracks only 15, but the synth I use allow you to have many different noise in same track, and the synth are "Omnisphere" I get it to my 50's birthday okay I had to pay a little from my own pocket too, and I have to say I love it, it came with 6 DVD's so it is a big install and eats lots of memory.

Take care
Kenta

Skean said 1051 days ago (July 5th, 2010)

Thanks, Chris
I'm glad you like my mixing, but masterfully? it's a mess but in the same time I guess it can sounds cool as tell a story, and yes who knows it is always a chance a Wakeman is out there and grab stuff, I have thought about it but not so much on my own stuff.

BTW I've finished the ending of this story but I will wait a few more days before I'll post it, it's easy listening not like this, a more delightful piece I think.

Take care
Kenta

Really Engaging
I really enjoyed this. Whilst listening it sent my mind way back to the 70's to an Italian Prog band called PFM and a song called Il banchetto which is also all about people approaching the rich king for food...well I think thats what it said on the sleeve notes...sounds lovely sung in Italian. Thought you might be interested in a listen. Cheers Mark

Henke	Henke said 1050 days ago (July 5th, 2010)
	You are da Man, Kenta! Or is it Omnisphere making people this good ;-) Whichever, I am pretty sure you need a lot of skill to master the synth, which you have done just beautifully in this song. I like the story too. Looking forward to more in the same general direction. Have a nice (musical) summer! /Henke Check out my latest song called Spring

Skean	Skean said 1050 days ago (July 5th, 2010)
	Thanks, Henke Omnisphere sure helps, but still I have a deep fantasy I guess that helps me a lot cos a musician I am not. And it come more but not like this more delightful, the ending of the story, so stay tuned. You2 have a nice summer my friend Kenta Check out my latest song called No Fun Anymore (Macjams is dead)
