"The synths of our fathers" a Geir original

[Geir]

Thanks guys, glad I managed to squeeze this one out ....

Wow!! The intro reminiscent of Philip Glass's music,

Funny you should say that, I havent listened to "Einstein on the beach" for quite a while, but I guess it has influenced my approach to electronic music in some ways

.... I have been toying with getting a small keyboard for the iPad.  Was there any learning curve getting them to work together?

There's hardly any learning curve at all. Just plug it in (using an usb-cable and the camera connection kit) and it works.
It is a very simple keyboard tho!


Most of the apps recognises the keyboard immediately, tho sometimes you have to go into the setup of the app and select the device. Mine shows up as "Keystation Mini 32" so it isn't hard to choose Many of the apps also have a "MIDI learn" function so you easily can assign whatever knobs you have on your keyboard to the functions available in the app. I think I'll need to get a more advanced keyboard at some time, but for not it works fine for me with this simple little one that goes in my backpack together with the ipad and BR80.

And what an outro - sounds like some spoken alien language!

Mission accomplished !

And what an outro you weirdo...  

... yeah yeah .... I'm the weirdo

But the monkey on my shoulder
Should be let Into the wild

THAT monkey should definitely be let Into the wild

Stunning Geir, the synth sounds you have corralled are just perfect, and then it moves into a sweet, wonderful Geir-pop beauty....deep forest pop........I love the middle section, love it, love it.......and the intro, love it........and what about the flipping ending..............what the hell........I love this whole monstrosity of a song................
Its stuff like this, finding something like this that keeps me glued to this site..........wicked stuff Geir.

And it's comments like this that keeps me glued to this site

This played all the way through from beginning to end on my iPad and I've never had that done on my iPad so what's different?
A brilliant song Geir .
So much in it and that endings just off the planet 
Braw tell yer Martian

That is one of the most priceless pictures ever.  I won't sleep for a week, though.

Any chance of posting just the simian image, 64?  It needs to be an avatar.

Damnit! I can't listen to the whole thing because I'm on my phone but what I heard is freaking outrageously amazing. Love your playing and synth sounds Geir. Going to give it a whirl again tonight when I get home with my laptop and hear properly!

That picture should be a violation of Internet posting with the punishment of a fine and jail time!

By the way I don't know if anybody has mentioned it before but how about a monkey fest?
