Lovely tune Tony.
A job well done. Funny title, really excellent music.
I could vibe out to this for hours mate.
Very nice intro theme. I liked how it evolved across the piece.
Thanks @ecou and many thanks for resurrecting this one.
I think there’s been a bit of a downturn in creations recently, only 10 in the last two weeks and I think Jim and myself account for 6 of those. We need some new blood, both posting and commenting but not sure how we encourage people. Might start a new thread on this subject. As you did such a good job with this one @ecou I’ve got a couple more recent creations languishing without any comments 😊
Cheers @jwmmakerofmusic . The title is the name of one of the minds / ships in the Culture novels by Iain M Banks . They are a great source of track titles, many of them slightly off the wall e.g. ‘Refreshingly Unconcerned With The Vulgar Exigencies Of Veracity’ and ‘ You Call This Clean?’.
Thanks @azul3D_Apps … I’m glad I don’t have to pay royalties each time I use Piano Motifs !
Beautiful, Tony.
Ethereal and calming. Beautiful.
Now I see. Cool.
Really good one. Organ sounds amazing. Why does the sax have a trumpet sound to it? Is it doubling the organ?
I’m really digging this one @GeoTony. I thought the same regarding a trumpet. Maybe when the sax gets to a higher register?
Trumpet range covers E3-D6
Soprano Sax range covers A♭3 to E♭6
I have heard a Sax player to Trumpet concertos for their senior project without changing the music (both are transposing Bb instruments). I used to do this on Marimba using violin concertos. The Bach A Minor Violin Concerto - First movement was included in the beat Mallet Method book at college.
OK. So, they share the same note space and differ slightly in the spectral series but a sax player that attacks the tonguing of each note will sound vary “brassy”.
I love the sound of this SWAM Instrument and will pick it up at the next SWAM sale of just finish my SAX Bundle.
This performance and engineering are excellent as @GeoTony’s work usually is.
A lot of nice emotions here.
Intense.
Bravo👏👏.

I love those instruments! The Cantoria organ is great and capable of some interesting sounds when you dig into it.
Thanks everybody ( @TheOriginalPaulB , @reezygle , @jwmmakerofmusic , @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr , @Ben , @McD , @flo and @MrStochastic ) 🙏
Cantoria is indeed a great sounding organ MrS !
My theory (which I’ve just come up with) about the trumpet / saxophone thing is that perhaps all brass instruments become more and more similar in terms of sound as they go up in frequency . In some way they start to observe some basic laws of physics which make them less influenced by the design of the instrument e.g. bell size, instrument length, tube flaring etc. These factors only come into play at lower frequencies and it’s these that create the instruments characteristic sounds.
Perhaps the same applies to families of instruments e.g. all string instruments sound the same at higher frequencies ?
Sure. Play a SWAM alto sax in the upper range and it sounds like a soprano. SWAM apps a re math models and not recordings like an SF2 or SFZ so the math is similar.
I kid playing a sax will sound very honky but someone like Kenny Gee develops a strong embochure that can control and dampen the high frequencies and it’s mellow. Saxes can be made of brass like the trumpet so the metallic overtones exist in both sounds. A cheap sax could be made from plastic and the sound is pretty dark.
The trumpet plays the overtone series from the same tube length like a bugle. The sax has holes in the air column that changes the pitches for an octave and then a hole place to send the same fingerings to an octave high. Adolph Sax invented this instrument. Saxes have a conical bore and overblown to the octave while a cylindrical clarinet over blows to an octave+5th. The flute is cylindrical but the blow hole is open and it over blows to an octave.
Sax instruments are rarely used in orchestras sine Adolph Sax invented it well after the classic era of Beethoven or even Mahler.
A studio woodwind player will likely have most of the saxes, clarinet and 1-2 flutes. A trumpet player might have 1-2 trumpets Bb and maybe a piccolo trumpet and a fluegelhorn. The trumpet is essentially cylindrical and the fluegelhorn horn is conical and has a more mellow, darker overtone spectrum.
I was thinking the same. We should encourage the new generation in the forum to listen, comment and share their own music. It kinda up too us to share the traditions.
Edit : Done !

Saxophone? Trumpet? Doesn't matter, the melody is beautiful either way. (That church organ does sound good.)
Really nice @GeoTony
I’m digging the mellow vibes and love that organ sound as well.
I need to get back around to posting again myself as my projects have been piling up.
Thank you @pbelgium and @Edward_Alexander 🙏
It would be great if you could get back to posting Edward. I always enjoyed your tracks and it’s a shame to keep so much talent hidden away.
More like GarbarekTony if you ask me @GeoTony. Very expressive.
