This an improvisation in 17 notes per octave with layered software synthesizers. Specifically, various percussion ensembles, french horn, piano, and two synthesizers. At one point I forgot what in the world I was doing because I transposed the…

Don't mind the sound quality, i have listened to a lot of reel to reel, and all of my begining recordings were done on a 4 track cassette recorder. Glad you posted this one. I'm digging it. Agree with Sis, about the 7 min mark it really starts to come together...;)

Progtastic!
Love the whirling intro of the first track, and was gonna request breaking these gems down, but by 7 minutes I threw out that notion - the flow is awesome! The dreamy track at around 9 mins is just gorgeous! Lovely harmonies.
Great musicianship, awesome writing!

has the idea of a triad or circle of 9's possible here at 17 note octaves? (sorry about the difficult question but I don't have the direct control of 17 notes in equal temper right now.)

Roland SE-02 through EHX Stereo Memory Man -> Zoom RFX-300. Title comes from a combination of the time length, and the fact that it was created for the current Sound-In for 1-7/1/2021.
Beautifully dark and mysterious that then explodes into barely contained chaos that ends in a plaintive song of longing. That's how I hear this. Wonderful piece Ben!
this is a Harold Budd tribute in memory of .. I had been listening to Harold since mid 80’s with pearl and ambient 2 when they came out about. I had a girl friend at the time going to Juilliard taking an elective electronic music class she told…
This is not the same ponderous endless time being that was mentioned by someone, somewhere. But rather I touch the water lightly and expecting the circles to disappear. And again.

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
well done,,, very pretty
What an interesting, if not somewhat sad, story about a poet I had never heard of. I love your bass work here.
reminds me of a mixture of such a variety of songs.
Very quite and nice...
/me smiles that wistful old man smile Good times.

Powerful stuff indeed.
Very intense, love the hits at 4:10ish....
Uber dramatic! Thrilling, even!
Swings like a pendulum - love that sax break!
~good piano tune with blue temperament in mind~
