Valkyrja - Ambient Modular Performance (Sinfonion, Vector, AJH, Assimil8or, Odessa, Peak)

From Old Norse Valkyrja (Valkyrie). A kind of Vangelis tribute in the second half.
Contrary to a lot of my eurorack tracks, this one is very light on sample use (drums, background and Emulator Choir only). Bass and two lead sequence voices come from the AJH Mini Mod VCOs and filter, with Odessa and Ts-L (through Natural Gate) on secondary sequences. Sequencing done by Vector and Sinfonion (song sequence mode), with Vector presets manually selected via the Launchpad Mini mk3. Manual filter changes via Metamorph.
Recorded direct to DAW in one take. Piano (NI The Gentleman and CS-80 brass parts added in post.

[@danielg.2897]

this channel is the single reason I impulse bought a Sinfonion. Jesus.

[@pthomas36]

I particularly love the deeper progressions and chord movements in this one. Much more melodic than some other pieces. All your music is marvelous but I really enjoy a more melodic journey.

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Tom!

[@AynenMakino]

That chord change at 2:26 is SO effective! Very nice indeed!

[@ramseynader9429]

OMG what a piece of an Amazing timeless Music.....i can't find a word in the dictionary that can explain how beautiful this is..

[@gennadyzarubin1508]

Руки создают музыку, а руками руководит мозг - там мысли и мы их слышим! Фантастика!

2 hour bike ride through downtown Chicago and back up to the North side at 3 in the morning.

[@jwallace6913]

masterpiece, thanks for releasing on Spotify

[@stateazure]

Much appreciated! Thank you!

[@borvo7]

this is a electronic masterpiece

[@jameshutchins7042]

Gonna say it again and again. Another track that could be a movie score. I will not stop saying it until I see on ther big screen music by state azure. Keep going. Youve mastered your craft.

[@ryanmiles8056]

A Nicholas Winding Refn film or... like Steven Soderbergh. Countless others idk. I hear you loud and clear James.

[@stateazure]

Thank you, James!

[@isanvicente1974]

james, you are absolutely right, for example a cyberpunk movie, syfy movies...

[@manmaas]

Having just watched/listened to 'Folding' his four hour drone. I'd say just adjust the lighting, film in 4k and put it on the big screen as is. There's something very hypnotic about watching the forest of lights whilst diving into the drone.

[@miguelwelch]

This is your masterpiece, uncountable times I'd heard, and still like it!

[@mrz80]

That has to be the densest, most tangled field of patch cables I've ever seen on a modular setup. :D Cabling up THIS one must've been intense.

[@ZX81v2]

@State Azure - I'd love to hear you do a Wendy Carlos cover, such as a TRON redux. Great work and I love listening you it. Thanks

[@markn2013]

Sublime... again and again...

[@troytempest4160]

This is wonderful, your best yet! Take the best of Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis and this is the result!

[@michaelcockherham7586]

Like you're music 🎶 it's very beautiful music have a nice take care my friend state azure.

[@AlanDickens]

All your stuff is good, but this one is particularly epic. More melodic. Nice.

[@NeonTotemFractals]

This is why I just love electronic music.... :D

[@JacekMichałek-x5w]

[@harmonieparadises6496]

Nice cession ✨💥

[@powermix24]

Incredible! you need to press some of your tracks on vinyl (limited edition) and I promise we will all buy it.

[@SoundmanCH]

I was just dancing with dolphins and now I am looking at our beautiful blue planet from space. Thanks for your endless support of good vibes!

[@vincentsky]

love that you can mix things up and still produce something of the usual, stellar caliber. well done!

[@optimus163]

EPIC....I've been listening to this all week while deep in the Adirondack Mtns and Lake George. Its timeless-ness melds into this landscape here. The build up to that much anticipated chord change - you know the one what I'm talking about, and finally hearing it is like all the pressure of life is suddenly released. At that moment the whole piece comes together. I wont draw any comparisons but I do hear alot and those are of artists who have been listened to here as well. Thank the Gods someone carries on their traditions, You are keeping that flame white hot.

[@johnmr568]

Masterpiece

[@rickh4758]

Thank you, State Azure. This song streams into my consciousness and takes me places.

[@BrunoWiebelt]

[@scalpod]

One of my favorites in your sublime, ever-expanding library. Fantastic in every sense!

[@stateazure]

Many thanks!

[@scalpod]

@@stateazure I often fall asleep listening to this incredible track and I'm determined to push it past 50K views myself... ;)

[@grahamball364]

Amazing sound reminds me of a rail journey Boston to New York with the summer sunshine on the sea at New Haven .

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Beautiful track - trippy ,- airy, nice work Azure ,-

[@Probbie]

Just loving this mate. 👍

[@dreamdealer]

wow, this is such a high quality production, so wonderful how it evolves, the melody changes beautifully, bet the sinfonion is playing a big part in this.

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Marcos. This would have been a tricky one without the Sinfonion for sure!

[@stuad70]

Without any hesitation I've suddenly felt compelled to say thank you for sharing your explorations and some cover versions which I have been occasionally popping back listen to more of since subscribing some time ago. I have loved the sound of synths and on a separate note I have always admired how a genius sound engineer, experimental recording techniques or producer can literally allow the sound positioning and most importantly width headroom and feeling for the compelled lister to enjoy. The comments about the filmic nature of this track I have just enjoyed is the exact same thing that sprung to my thoughts although from what little I do know I'm longing for a genuinely epic return to the films I loved as a kid. Silent Running is definitely my favourite and demon seed although creepy definitely made you think..

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Stuart! Appreciate your thoughts and feedback :)

[@xaviermorel6352]

and now flying in space like a peace of solar driftwood!!! thx S-A......

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Xavier :)

[@matrix_zero2121]

I wonder where the ideas for writing music come from. every time I'm glad that I signed up. Valkyrja just cool))))))

It's ok! Thank you!

Supreme Style TD = Tangerine Dream .... THE BEST :)

[@albertpauw8234]

Love it!

[@SoundsMick]

This one has such a mood to it, really cool accompaniment to my late night dog walk hah

[@markmillyard5868]

This is incredible composed music is something I've never heard in a way that this piece composed music been done before you are a genius awesome.👍👍👏👏

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Mark!

[@MartinLueders]

Beautiful! This combines so many influences: Berlin school, Vangelis, Jarre, but it is still unmistakably State Azure.

[@stateazure]

Appreciate it, Martin. Thank you!

[@stanleyawdo278]

Inspirational.....

[@ctd_audio]

Cracking track, as ever SA 👌 wish I had the time to jam as much as you!

[@stateazure]

Make time! Thanks, Chris!

[@jeanlucienpicard6732]

I hear Vangelis playing here, really very similar, and a nice tribute now. This greatness with his synthesizers and specific sound has been dead for almost a year, which along with Klaus Schülze is a very big loss in the field of electronic music.

[@MartinDoudoroffLLC]

Very nice.

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Martin!

[@joseguillermoperezmaestre4421]

Beautful.

[@mikenorval6331]

Definite TD vibe at the start reminiscent of Love on a Real Train.

[@richardlaux2299]

[@isanvicente1974]

sublime, i takes me back in time when electronic music was something new, and surprised you every time, i imagine my self in elon musk´s rocket going to mars ..... this music opens my imagination, and brain... never undertand why only this kind of electronic music make me feel things... really sublime... i think that is the word to define this performance"sublime"

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Igor!

[@totoroprime]

Why so few subscribers? Riveting both ambient and music!

[@AndyGabrielPowell]

Hypnotic, almost trancelike. I imagine flying, arms outstretched in the evening light across the fields and valleys of my homeland (England) while I listen to this. It's not TD. It's not Vangelis. It's State Azure. Save it for the next album please. P.S. The challenge remains though... I'd love to hear your take on Tomita... say, Venus the Bringer of Peace from his banned Holst Planet suite album perhaps?

[@stateazure]

Thank you, Andy :)

[@relaxingelectronicmusic775]

cool

[@glennp1690]

Its probably just me SA but i hear a little bit of Kraftwerk in this piece. Love it as always. GREAT things are coming your way SA i just know it.

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Glenn. It's probably just by coincidence/accidental, I was never really fond of Kraftwerk and found their music a bit emotionless.
