Just as a Jedi crafts his or her own light saber so the synth-diy musician crafts his or her own synthesizer. The Jedi uses the light saber to defend themselves and the defenseless. The synth-diy musician uses his or her synthesizer to make interesting and creative sounds. There are many different kinds of creative sounds and not all are tonal or musical in the traditional sense while many are... or may be in there own way. I have put together these collections of sounds and music using my hand crafted MFOS analog synthesizer. SONAR Home Studio was used during mix down for reverb and delay effects. I hope you enjoy these selections.


ELECTROLUMINESCENCE is the first CD I have offered featuring my MFOS modular synthesizer and the ULTIMATE semi-modular synthesizer. Some of these pieces are original minimalistic ambient sound-scapes to think by and others are complete musical works by classical composers. I think of these as dreamscapes or music to accompany your next vision quest. I believe they will help you meditate, unwind, and find that sometimes elusive spirit guide.

ELECTROLUMINESCENCE
Bell World by Ray Wilson (16:14) listen
The sounds of wind and various chimes combine to create a wide hypnotic landscape. Realized on the MFOS Modular.
A Musical Offering Six Part Fugue by J.S. Bach (12:00) listen
A masterpiece by the master of the fugue J.S. Bach. Written in response to a challenge from Frederick II, Bach outdoes even himself in this haunting melodic piece. Completely voiced with the MFOS ULTIMATE.
Cold Sleep by Ray Wilson (18:38) listen
This is what I imagine goes through the mind of a person who is in "cold sleep" during a long space voyage. Realized on the MFOS Modular.
Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun by Claude Debussy (9:37) listen
This piece is considered one of Debussy's most famous works and also marks a turning point in the history of impressionistic music. Completely voiced with the MFOS ULTIMATE.
Tibetan Wind and Resonant Drones by Ray Wilson (8:14) listen
Resonant drones accompanied by wind make a meditative combination reminiscent of a Tibetan monastery. Realized on the MFOS Modular.
Wooded Hollow with Stream and Birds (8:14) listen
What is more relaxing than sitting by a stream on a beautiful day in a wooded hollow. As it's name implies the simple sounds of nature brought to you by analog synthesis. Realized on the MFOS Modular.
