Liner Notes

We were discussing NI's "Piano Colors" over on Slack and I realised I'd never really used it, so I had to do something about that. "Something" turned out to involve a selection of other #neglectedgear Kontakt instruments from my collection as well as playing a lot of #warrguitar. You would also have seen me plugging my Strat into my small-but-perfectly-formed Boss Katana Go (I was lucky enough to get one before they disappeared). You can get great tones out of something the size of a cigarette lighter...

I like this a lot, again very spacious, but melodic and interesting, all the way up.

@peterxml 7w

Love the way this builds from section to section, and the palette combining Kontakt instruments with the guitars is wonderful.

Floating then swimming then rising into the air.... Soaring over house and field.

@jamkar 7w

I was floating nicely. And then the strat came in, and ascendance began.
Happy listening all the way out.

You had me at Warr Guitar 😀 Wish I had one. This is lovely. The juxtaposition between the twinkling synth parts & the deep bass is quite effective at building a great mood. And then the guitar comes in with such an amazing tone, backed by an ethereal pad. The change-up at ~2:20 adds some nice variety & gives this a feeling of climbing even higher. Yeah, this certainly ascends. Spectacular as always, Chris!

See You In The Shadows…

I like the atmospheric vibe of this, right off the bat.

Oh! That lush and understated guitar coming in. Yeah. That's really nice. Great tone.

Now new movement @ 2:20-ish. Picking up the pace nicely. Very Floyd, here.

This was a really pleasant journey. Thanks!
