Europa / Pipa Meets Ligeti
Everyone met Ligeti in 2001.
Thanks to @Gavinski ‘s gift I took 3 instances of Pipa on a test drive to Jupiter’s moon. @Spidericemidas came along via 2 tracks of Continua. Additionally, House Mark1 MixBoxed and Module Choirs.

Nice one! Thanks for sharing.👍🏽🙏🏽🧔🏼
Great mind expanding originality as always Michael, the third transition to the ending is a revelation 🙌
See, i knew this gift of app would be paid back in melody many times over, and I was not disappointed 🙏
Nice. It remains me an old -not very successful- experiment I have done 6 years ago, especially the last minute
Wow, very cinematic! Way to think outside the box; something different from you!
I like the new approach you’ve adopted. It sounds like you’re composing for the timbre, rather than adding the timbre to the composition afterwards. Whatever it is, it’s working great. Looking forward to an album of this kind of stuff...
Good observation 👍🏻
Marvellous!
Remember buying the LP soundtrack to 2001 in the late 60’s early 70’s, mainly for the iconic Strauss piece and thinking ‘What the heck?’ when Lux Aeterna came on. I also remember both my parents walking out of the room scratching their heads thinking I had literally come from a different planet. While I still prefer Strauss I actually enjoyed this more then I remember enjoying Ligeti. HAL be seeing you...
@satie, @Krupa, thank you, much appreciated. @Gavinski, glad I came thru. Now, about those stems.
@cuscolima, the last minute is fun.
@Intrepolicious, I have done stuff like this before, but not with a linked theme. Also have a much better collection of appropriate synths and @Spidericemidas presets to work with now. Thank you for the praise @sch and @GeoTony.
@TheOriginalPaulB, as a continuation of our discussion, my technique here is exactly the same as the rest of my stuff. I improvise a section, often repeat it, and will add an additional lead, bass, or rhythm track, if necessary. I really think it is more to do with the instruments chosen. I could take (I think) most any stretch I have improvised and turn it into another genre with synth power. I will say that with these I am thinking spacier, so the notes are sparser, but the channeling is the same, often with a disregarded sidebar Of judgement that says what I’m playing is shit.
The truth is I just don’t know how things will develop, but I do have faith that I can continue to pull the rabbit out of the hat. That ongoing attempt at musical magic is what makes it exciting for me. Anyway, after 3 or 4 more meetings with celestial objects, I will hook them all together. I hope with the mastering expertise of @rs2000 and perhaps some percussion on a track from @PartOfPayn. A simulacrum of Holst’s The Planets.
Wow. You’re really tapping into something special with these more abstract pieces. Some really good crescendo-type swells in there, full of atmosphere and very cinematic. I’m pleased my presets have contributed to these new explorations of yours. It’s the kind of thing I had in mind when making them, but although I make the sounds, I have yet to let go of my rigid way of music construction to produce something abstract and unpredictable. Your work is very inspiring and helpful for me.
I found the best way to do that kind of thing (for me) is to set up a few separate input controls/streams so that you have several different timbres available, hit record and start jamming. Don’t worry about what you play in terms of chord progressions or repeating sections you played earlier, just respond to the character of sounds you’re making and let it take you in as musical a direction as you can. It won’t always work brilliantly, but you can get good results surprisingly often if you bear in mind that you can give the piece structure using just volume, tempo, note density and choice of timbre. Structure doesn’t have to be about chord progressions and melodic recapitulation. Through composition is a thing. My keyboard skills are decidedly mediocre and I find this works anyway.
Thanks for the tips! I appreciate that and will give them a go. The more abstract and experimental ambient genre is one of my favourites to listen to, but quite a mystery to my mind in terms of actually producing it and especially pacing it when there is often little going on! It’s a different way of thinking for me. Cheers! 🙏
With regard to pacing, I find that if you change something when it feels right to do so, it usually is.
