Originally rock guitarist, turned to fingerstyle acoustic when ears burnt out, now retired and compulsive keyboard noodler, exploring vintage sounds mostly in cathedral/spacey IRs. Love everything from early Tangerine Dream, Jarre, Vangelis and more lately Jonn Serrie, Thom Brennan, Max Corbacho and Altus. When not making music or restoring photos, I'm walking the fells where I get a lot of my inspiration from.

A wonderful piano gift to inspire
They say the measure of a good instrument is it's ability to inspire the player to create music. This generous gift from Finn Foley certainly does that, and much more. It's delicate nuances evoke a magical charm, which even with my untrained ham-fisted paws, elicits blissful nostalgic tones to inspire, with hints of Vangelis, Enya, Tears for Fears, Elton John etc etc Thank you Finn.
A veritable jug of curry sauce
A wonderfully usable instrument made with quality samples and a very well thought out interface. I never thought of doing Indian ambient, but I am now!
Ambient Inspiration
They say the quality of an instrument can be determined by it's ability to inspire you to create music with, this certainly delivers in that regard. I was initially put off by the interface, it reminds me of a poorly printed Algebra test paper, but that's just me, I like things in 3D, clearly defined boxes, delineated by colour, contrast and shadow. The Ensemble preset is the peach of the pack, a bit of levelling amp and some stronger lexicon reverb and you're in the ambient zone. I can't help feeling it is a little melancholy, although perhaps that's just the flavour of inspiration that struck me, slow release does that. A worthy addition to the collection and a rainy day reserve for some ambient music creation.
