As someone famous never said "I like my music like I like my women: LONG, SLOW, AND AMBIENT."
As I continue my daily experiments with the Malstrom synthesizer unit I'm coming to appreciate it a little more. Working with it takes a little more "effort" than Thor or Subtractor. If you put some thought behind your decisions then the machine yields some stupendous sounds. With Thor and Subtractor I frequently twiddle knobs and play with random routing to see how it comes out. Malstrom requires a little more finesse.
This piece has a strong Brian Eno influence to it, although it didn't start out that way. The synth stab you hear at the beginning was the start, which, to me, is very un-Eno-like. It evolved into this kind of noisy ambient piece you hear here over a few days work.
