I uploaded an older version of this track some days ago. This is a refined version after talking to my vocalist with some extra arrangement tweaks and a better mix. You can download this jam on my subvert.

The Shaman — a piece exploring the intersection of two unique instruments: Soma The Pipe and Neutral Labs Elmyra 2. Both are known for their experimental, expressive qualities, so combining them for improvised, free performance makes perfect sense and I love it (still, I know I need to exercise it much more lol).

leads to quite heavy noises so I re-connected them and decided to let them run with external power strips (which is low noise now).
While doing the work, I started this jam :D I love the long progression and the brass which I sampled and sequenced on the Tangerine. I also added additional TRS cables to the Bluebox inputs and for this track I hooked up the tiny Roland S1 for the arps.

Last Monday, I finally got to try out my new mobile setup exactly where I'd always imagined: in the Alps. The viewpoint in Amden at the Walensee is absolutely breathtaking and truly inspiring! I was incredibly lucky that there were very few tourists around, and several delta gliders took off right in front of my eyes. The atmosphere was indescribable, and I definitely captured around 2 hours of jam material. Here's a small excerpt for you.
Just exercising with my little setup - tomorrow will be a sunny day, I have off and booked a car to jam in the nature. Looking forward to it. Meanwhile, I just did this little melodic something :D Cheers
