I've been a massive Wendy Carlos fan since "Switched On Bach" and I admire her work with different scales etc. "beauty In The Beast" is a unique album that will boaden your musical appreciation.  My background is more in the engineering side of the business (fixing not mixing) but I always aspired to produce music as well. Last century, I worked in technical support at the BBC's Maida vale studios and for a while in the Radiophonic Workshop.  Having built several analog synthesisers in the past, the technology of the 21st century has unleashed that aspiration.
My Birthday tribute to Wendy, in 2024, went straight to Number 1 in the classical chart (a bit like her S.O.B.). Thank you everyone.
I think my offerings are diverse but you may spot a distinctive style.  I hope that you find some of them enjoyable and will come back to listen again. Warmest regards, Blob_B

And thank you for the positive feedback on K531 especially since it's a very different Genre to your band. I'm very sad that Wendy Carlos has gone so reclusive in her later years and I like to remind the world of her significant role in making Synthesisers an everyday thing. If you like the eclectic try and find her "Beauty in the Beast" album: it uses non conventional tunings that will sound weird at first to Western ears I think it reflects her genius. I had a brief explore in that world but could only come up with 1 minute of music!! If you check out my "Something Fishy" it uses 1/4 tone tuning. Sounds odd but is deliberate. Thanks again for the stars and wishing you every success with your music. Bob
