Deep Space by Michael Briel

As written above Deep Space was recorded in '92. The equippment at that point still was really minimalistic (I just had started to use keyboards and a sequencer, and I bought my first FX-processor). But the track itself turned out really well - even if you compare it to newer arrangements. Let’s do a quick walktrough: read more »

The main theme of this tune, the second “Sonix Only” exception later returned in Sequenzen (on Solaris) as well as in Water/Wasser (several times). I tried to move along with some early Oldfield works here - not including his great soli, but only the main structural layout... Works pretty nice though... read more »

That one’s an old beauty too - I later reused the melody in Maral (on Evolution), ‘cause I liked it so much. Anyway - this is the early version.

This is one of the “Sonix-Only”-tunes: Using mainly the Roland MT32 through the software’s minimal midi capacity I here added some floating sounds played directly by the software’s virtual synthesizer (it’s that spacy main synth). read more »

If you’d ask me why I didn’t allready do a fresh version of this small melody (I really like it): I don’t know, but I think it’ll have to happen sooner or later... just beautifull, yet minimalistic. Definitely a fine round-up for this CD. :)
