Chillout like Klaus Schulze, J-M. Jarre, TD, Vangelis...

For 28 years I've been experimenting with synth gear- the results are here.

Here is my downtempo/ambient/chillout music:

Brainful Moments.. very classical orientated. There was a band I knew of a few years back who did a track called The Evening Starlings, iirc, and this really reminds me of that. I think this track is nice and progressive and yes, very Jarre.

In the state of the flow... Again, very Jarre. Very clean sounding. I kept expecting it go go "somewhere" if you get me. It lingers a little too long perhaps thats a personal taste though.

Emerald Engine has a more Folky vibe to it I reckon. My god man, you must love Jarre, nothing wrong with that though. :lol: Yeah cant say anything bad about any of this, like it all. And its all well mixed which is loverly. :D

Nice soundscapes, but the arpeggios are pretty fast (128 bpm, rough guess?) aren't they..., not something I would necessarily call downtempo or chillout, but it sounds cleanly produced and interesting.

I occassionally make downtempo stuff myself, but take a completely different route. :) Not a Jarre fan myself, apart from the anthems...

Thanks for your replies.

@l-rs:
Might one call the track with the fast arpg. -> psytrance ?
(I don't know which other genre names my music would go with.)

I love arpeggios to pieces though :-)

On my next tracks I shall feature vocodized stuff. For this i bought a mike this week. I may use vocoders with either 200 or 256 freq. bands or more. I tested already the speech clarity thereof, it is awesome, you can comprehend EACH AND EVERY word.
