Success ...

My Sylphyo has finally graduated from Lockdown ...

Began 10 months ago largely clueless about the digital music realm. Last week I pulled off two one-hour solo ambient shows - “Chill Night” concerts at a retreat center in the LA area.

Sylphyo into {Laptop + XpressO + VL70-m} into {Strymon Timeline + Boss RC-505}. Used a drum pad (MPD218) into Cantabile to trigger song transitions, instrument selection, patch selection, etc. The circular setting had a gonzo sound system and was lit with a large flock of tea-light candles.

It all went recording-quality poifect.

Would never have gotten here without the support of this group and the willingness for Aodyo to accommodate the Native Flute fingerings that I have played for two decades ... Thanks All!

Congratulations!

Just released the Chill Nite album from this concert – free for streaming and download at ClintGoss.Bandcamp.com.

I played the first five tracks live over a sparse nature soundscape. I played the last three tracks live, supported by the recorded music of my mentor, David Darling, pianist Alexander Nakarada, and the drone sounds of a particular species of “drumming fish”.

Virtual versions of real-world instruments include Native American flutes, clarinet, oboe, cello, mandolin, tubular bells, chimes, Armenian duduk, bansuri, and silver flute. I also played virtual-only instruments: Heaven Bells, Respiro (Desert Wind), EVI-NER, Marble, and Matt Traum’s IndiaFlute and Beauty.
