When I was a kid, I was obsessed by numbers, even to the point of cranking square roots by hand (pre-calculator) when I was is junior school. I've always liked symmetry in number. Strange. I was an odd child, but it has served me well :-)

oh my....this is sooooooo goooooooood.......man I am digging this...it's wonderful guitar mixed with movie psychadelic goodness.... the voices, finger snaps, the keyboards, the wonderment.... I find it strangely relaxing... intoxicating....invigorating...
so glad to hear a new post...

This is sublime! I really like the floating atmosphere and the Gilmouresque guitar playing. This ain't by the numbers track! :)

This sounds so pro. I love the sparse piano against that pad, and your guitar playing is always a treat. I assume this was the Kemper. What "amp" and guitar were used here?

Wonderfully produced.

Really good ! Love the tone of the guitar and the playing and altogether a nice relaxed listen.

I was messimg about with some drum and sunth apps yesterday with the idea of doing something about Pi.  I must have been an odd child too!   ;)

It is the kemper and it the Michael Britt profile of this amp https://carramps.com/products/slant-6v (https://carramps.com/products/slant-6v)
However its quite a clean profile (on the edge break up), so I went through the pedal board. Mainly the J.Rockett APE pedal (Echoplex preamp and delay), and the Wampler Tumnus. I may have used the Wampler Ego as well - cant remember if I left it on or off.

The guitar is my trusty Music Man Luke II. That is HSS strat, and use mainly the neck single coil, but flip the Humbucker to really dig in every now and then. The hardest thing is to manage constraint, I was trying to keep it melodic (I try to play a melody that you would sing), bring it up and down for dynamics and keep it as simple as possible. I must say having the pedals really helps with a playable tone. But I keep experimenting all of the time. I'm a big fan of the APE and the Wampler pedals.

The drums were the Electribe, plus the Electribe sampler used for me speaking the numbers embarrassingly into a mike. I was going to add the speed of light and Plank's constant, but it was all getting too geeky at that point :-)

would love that craziness

Ah, love this! I'm not up on genres but would this be considered "chill wave" - maybe with a message? Very mesmerizing and that guitar lead and tone is to die for! Very cool! 8)

I totally dig the atmosphere of this. What silky smooth guitar work! The recital of Pi was nearly putting me into a trance. Great stuff

brilliant love it , from the start it pulled me in , great beat and your guitar work is superb bruno , nice listen ...cheers tony cee

Wow,this is David Gilmore sounding for sure.
I love the way the guitar bights going into the higher parts.
Relaxing and trippy.
Brilliant.

This is a very soothing morning coffee song. Sound very full. Well mastered. What a clinic in Kemper tone. Makes me have GAS for a profiling amp.

Listened to this yesterday & again today...probably tomorrow., love it brother.
Rock on!

So great.....that's beautiful guitar playing dude......love this

The guitar tone and melodic playing are to die for Bruno! Thanks for the info. on how you achieved it. Very pro my friend!

Great atmospheric track and gotta love that guitar work a la Gilmore. Excellent production too; great stuff, well done.

Oh my, this is the business. I have the feeling that this will rank among Soundcrafters classics and quite rightly so.

What a pleasant atmosphere to visit for a while.  Love the ebb and flow in the places where the tension builds up and then resolves beautifully. It's all planned and executed very tastefully, especially the lead guitar parts. Really enjoyed this!

Great song . really good guitar work  a la Gilmour ..
This song reminded me a bit of the start in Pink Floyd "Keep Talking" .
Great work ..

Loved it. Right from the off with that "boom" from the drums... and straight into it. Classy guitar. I get the nod to Gilmour comments, but this tune is very original. The numbers, equations being quoted is really cool. Massively good tune Bruno.... one for the download folder. Thank you.

Mike

I was always rubbish with maths (numbers etc) This is so cool. I really love that guitar playing and it does sound like a pink Floyd track. love the tempo and style. Those vocals clips have a bit of "Max Headroom" about them lol, (the sound of it) . Grabbing a download, thanks.

Beautiful Bruno. lovely playing and fantastic sounds. I love the atmosphere of this and the soundscape is fantastic. I can't quite make out the geeky words but they sound very soothing to someone who is also very geeky..... :D

Brilliant stuff, Bruno.  Fantastic guitar playing - so tasteful and melodic. Mr Gilmour would have been proud.

Oh - and I love a good pie!

I have been listening to this and now I can discern some of the terms you use...that prominent 3.14.....

funny you mentioned numbers.  I love statistics.  Really studied baseball card numbers as a kid.  A couple of years ago I was at this pizza place.  They have a 24 inch pizza you can get.  It's really a manhole cover its so big.  Anyway it was 25 bucks.  You could get two 15 inch pizzas for 30 bucks.  So I asked the guy about which one gave me more pizza.  Looked at me like I had 3 eyes.  So I got a napkin and figured out that the 24 inch had over 100 sq inches of pizza than 2 15 inch.  Most people on casual observance would say you get more with the 15s.  This is elementary math really but for some reason my brain just had to go there.

I think the way you are toward numbers also makes you the unique musician that you are.  This is why I am totally for each of us finding our own creative style.  Obviously we are influenced by people we listen to but if we only ever do covers than that is what we are, although one can also do their own version of a cover.  My wife says she can't write a song or piece of music.  I tell her it's nonsense.  She plays off notes on a paper and she is really super at that.  She can play her own stuff but she never takes the time.  It doesn't make any difference for her.
anyway Bruno... I'd line up to buy this...

Enjoyable playing with professional tones, Kemper sounds really good!

Wow this is so cool

Reminds me a bit of the feel from the opening of Roger Waters "amused to death ". And that is on my shortlist of the one album to bring to a desert island

Very well done Bruno.

Tense and calming at the same time. Very well done. I imagined a montage scene of someone crunching numbers late into the night, possibly on a chalkboard, trying to solve life-or-death problem. Or maybe me, adding up how much I've spent on music gadgets so far this year.
