13 tracks..

Some of the instrument voices are in tandem with Korg iOS apps with the Kronos coupled as a MIDI controller. iWavestation, for one, and iM1, for the other. Some of the off-brand iOS apps include Sunrizer Synth, and Arturia iMini.

Let me know what you think!

And hey, did I mention, free download? :D

my stuff is free, too, LOL. I am enjoying your atmospheric experimental Songs.

I think its very cool to have a unique style. I also agree/think an original instrumental can have a ' message'. Most of my originals are ' message ' songs.

I push the kronos guitar programs aggressively to get more realism. While I use the Kronos acoustic guitar Programs, I find more depth in my Rpland FA guitars
( the FA is new to me).

I also played some guitar some time ago. I think that has helped create/record guitar parts on my Songs using Kronos.

I touch on atmosphere parts briefly on some of my Songs. I use it as ' break ' or an effect on my originals. I just recorded another original, Cocktail Bar in the Sky, which, coincidentally has atmospheric parts :)

Latest original Song project, Cocktail Bar in the Sky.

A 7 minute instrumental, sort of a new age/light jazz song.
100% Kronos.

Here is my latest track: https://soundcloud.com/user-139189225/eerie-lullaby-pt2

Original composition, everything played and sung by me, drums are programmed. All keys are played on the Kronos, except for the bass chirps on the chrous which is from the MicroBrute. Bass is run through my guitar amp, then through Kronos' bass cabinet IFX. Guitar is occationally using some IFX on the Kronos, but mostly directly into the DAW from the amp.
Gear: Korg Kronos 2 73, Arturia Microbrute & MiniBrute 2, Moog Mother-32, Ibanez RG320DXFM Guitar, ESP Viper 254FM Bass, Blackstar HT-1
Software: Reaper, EZ Drummer

Here is my latest - 100% Kronos instrumental. 6 minutes.

A mixture of new age/classical. My usual unhurried BPM. This one clocks at 80.

Excellent job Gunnar, lot of work involved here! Coming from a 70's guy, I hear a little Kansas, Renaissance from the old days as well as more up to date metal twinges.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!

A Swedish band called Teddybears Sthlm made a song named Punkrocker year 2000.
It was also made in other versions, Hipphopper and Dancebander.

Now I made a synth version of that song: Synthpopper

All the sounds are from Korg Kronos 2.

Here's another 100% Kronos song, a 6 minute light jazz song/instrumental.

I think Kronos trumpets and sax are fairly authentic per this song.

I ran out of midi tracks and used many Fx. I used an audio track to supplement
the 16 midi track limit

I used Karma drum scenes and drum track for the 2 minute ending or 'outro '.
