I refreshed Surge Storm.

This weekend I was determined to break the creative drought, so I revisted a piece of music that I made in 2022, taking away the limitation of only using one software synth.

If you're into music theory, it has a few 'moments' ;)

I used Surge XT synth, BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover (free) and Arturia Piano V (bundled with my keyboard).

Slipped into sleep and then welcomed Friday with Cycles the second album by cellist David Darling, recorded in 1981 and released on ECM the following year.

Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:

"Cellist David Darling has had a long, if sporadic, association with ECM, quietly forging—either under the guise of solo artist or buried in an album’s roster—some of the label’s most lyrical atmospheres. With Cycles, however, Darling magnified his sound-world through the inimitable talents of Jan Garbarek and Collin Walcott in a space both selfless and uniquely his own. Add to that the astonishing pianism of Steve Kuhn and the depth of Arild Andersen on bass, and you get what is, to this listener at least, one of ECM’s finest celestial alignments..."

Ermahgerd, I should've known about this album sooner seeing as Gyða Valtýsdóttir is one of my favourite musicians, but it took seeing her partner acting in the new Castle Rat music video to discover she had something new out. ROR is a brilliant collaboration that merges Gyða's neoclassical cello playing with musician/composer Úlfur's ambient soundscapes.
