Description

I started this with some Jampack Symphony loops and messed about with them. I can't seem to get in a creative mode lately! Anyway, there are eight tracks in this, three Omnisphere, three Zebra, and two Dimension. [I just got it!] I've tried to blend symphonic sounds with electronica. Don't know how successful I've been.

Iris is a lovely lady, who I should have gone to see today. Instead I did this music for her. I hope she likes it.

	Iris will love it Simple and pure. That one-step back and forth is a natural for ambient. You use it to nice effect here. Creative mode? Oh yeah, tell me about it. Messing around with new things seems to be a good way to get the juices flowing again. I'm glad you were able to break down the barrier and post this lovely piece of music.

	Thanks D I'm fairly simple, but maybe not so pure! Oh how I wish I didn't have to earn money the hard way... Check out my latest song called Nocturne op. 55 Andante

	Did great You did. Instruments blend very well I think. Not always easy... Sounds a lot like YOUR music. I like it! A sweet lullaby before going to bed and trying to restore some health. Thanks and take care. (Oh, mind there's never any rush in posting new stuff. Take your time, and new songs will emerge when you are ready. I know how it is ;-) /Henke Check out my latest song called Spring

	Thanks Henke Do I really have a "style"? That's nice. Yes. I've well and truly given up the "posting a song every fortnight" malarky. There is just not enough time. Check out my latest song called Nocturne op. 55 Andante

Henke	Henke said 919 days ago (November 11th, 2010)
	Sure do "A style" (and "style" too ;-) Your choice of instruments/sounds, the type of songs you make... In this case the sound emerging around 0:40 sounds a lot like davajonah to me e.g. The fact that it is recognizably you even though you've got some new toys says it all, I guess.

	Iris Very soothing and relaxing, simple and profound. For me a little gem of tenderness, love and devotion. The most bautiful thing an artist can realize. Hats off ! :) Check out my latest song called Train of industrial delight II

	That opening bass sounds wonderful Dave and the whole piece sounds magical; quite orchestral really and I'm sure Iris will love it, if only for it's soothing qualities...... love those synth sounds, regards M Check out my latest song called Monet's Garden (new)

davajonah	davajonah said 919 days ago (November 11th, 2010)
	Thanks Mo I'm usually more interested in making new sounds, but it was enlightening using symphonic presets. I always think that they don't really sound like the real thing, but those in the Dimension synth do sound good, I think. Cheers Mo! Check out my latest song called Nocturne op. 55 Andante

	Beautiful Dave Calm, flowing, soothing, restful, and a lovely offering to Iris. The blending is something I've tried too, occasionally: yours worked well. Keep at it. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	Lovely You have been successful in combing symphonic and electronica. Was a very relaxing journey I had listening to this very nice and your lovely lady will enjoy this song I think :) Is that Adagio Expressivo Strings from Omnisphere sounds like it. I love it use it all the time :) Check out my latest song called Symbiosis

davajonah	davajonah said 919 days ago (November 11th, 2010)
	Thank you! No I didn't use any symphonic presets from Omnisphere [God! What a synth it is!] I used some presets from Dimension to get the violins and violas. Thanks again for listening. :-) Check out my latest song called Nocturne op. 55 Andante

Hi Dave....
Four favourite icons. I guess there's a bit of keybounce on this keyboard!! It seems I'm over egging the omelette. The mix really is superb though. I think that if this is a snack as opposed to a full meal then there will be a wonderful feast to come. I hope your composers block fades away real soon.

Everything about the mix is top notch. Your pieces are always, to me, worth waiting for.

I'm off now to listen again (and again).

Take care.

Man
Omnisphere is huge, when I got it I get some creative inspirations but now it's all gone, so I know what you are talking about, a tip try to feel the music cos when you think it make you frustrated, okay that is for me but I thought it maybe is the same for you.

This is a beauty a relaxing piece who fits well to this dark early nights we have now, and soon it come to be snow.. Take care… Cheers

	Thanks Kenta I know exactly what you mean! Inspiration has been hard to come by, of late. Maybe it will come back. And these dark and dreary Northern Hemisphere days are not good are they? Thanks again. Check out my latest song called Nocturne op. 55 Andante

Parichayaka	Parichayaka said 922 days ago (November 8th, 2010)
	very nice... How could anyone not like this?! Soothing, warm and enjoyable. The pulsing synth in the back provides a nice structure. I'd make the strings a bit softer volume wise. You could also make the attack faster and the release slower. Lovely track though, like Ex said, simple and pure. Check out my latest song called Tosh Frenzy

davajonah	davajonah said 919 days ago (November 11th, 2010)
	Thank you I may do a little remix some day, and I would certainly take your advice about the strings. I think some work on the dynamics, rather than the overall volume, would be the answer, but I simply didn't have the time, sadly. Thanks again Pari, I appreciate your comments!

	Iris Hi Dave - this is SO well done my friend! i really love the blend of orchestral with electronica - i wish i could figure out how to do it - you've done it VERY well here - great job! Check out my latest song called Blind Love (Seeing Heart) - Orchestral Version

	Karen I wish I could figure it out too! It's really frustrating when I "tweak" that I haven't enough skill or knowledge to get a sound EXACTLY I want. I do try! Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments! Check out my latest song called Nocturne op. 55 Andante
