Back when I first encountered synth-based music, it was pathetic - one dimensional, uninspired noodlings of some techno-dweeb - but somehow, containing a promise of better things to come.
Thom's most recent display of technical and musical wizardry is undoubtedly where those early knob twirlers envisioned taking their instrument.
Nice work, Pilgrim!
Oren,
Very much appreciate your perspective and the generously kind comments-
thanks! I was exposed to synth-based music from an early age and fortunately,I have been influenced by the likes of Jan Hammer and Howard Jones(both of whom,were classically trained pianists and were some of the most disciplined musicians ever to exist)...while also having the unique talents to brilliantly blend different styles of music.
These guys were the synth demigods of the time,back when synth music was at it's most musical and as best as I am able,I try to keep that level of musicality in synth music...to keep this style of music alive and well.
