Quarter of Eden

The melody and the sound seem to be outwordly to me. Like it's coming from another, beautiful world. A quarter of Eden. 

The actual inspiration for the name of this piece is much less inspiring. When I finished it in my DAW, I happened to see on my distributor's website that the first two releases (Allegory of the Cave and Pines by the Sea) had reached an revenue of $0.25, i.e. a quarter of a dollar.

Despite this mundane story of the release, I hope you can enjoy the the various melodies that combine to make this music piece.  After all, money is as real as Eden; i.e. it is highly dependent on each person's perspective.

Ionian Blue - an introduction

Welcome to my music blog

I enjoy creating music on a combination of hardware synthesizers and computer software, which has evolved out of my original passion for classical and electronic music.

music workflow - the technical part

This post is not about inspiration, which is the most important aspect of music creation. It is about the equipment and tools that I use in order to create and finish a piece of music. The technical part of our creative process is integral to the inspiration we have when making music. As I read once on a wall:

"As an artist I aspire to become a craftsman. As a craftsman I aspire to become an artist."
