"the mind of avata" is another surprisingly lush, beautiful ambient musicscape, and I could not be more pleased with the result. I don't have much experience with the drone fx tool, but by carefully choosing (and testing) each sound ahead of time, and arranging a tempo, chord pattern, and number of chord repeats to the best of my ability (not being really very familiar with the sound library) I have managed again, as with track 03, "blinding white snowdrifts blanket the earth", to choose well, and "the mind of avata" is thoughtful, ponderous, moving gently, quietly...

as ambient should do, really. it took me a little while to get the subtle beauty of this track, I wasn't as convinced at first, but as I played the tracks a few times to get a feel for how the album is shaping up, I kept saying to myself "which one is that?" and invariably, it would be "the mind of avata" that was playing.

"the mind of avata" contains some truly lovely ambient moments, a wonderful mysterious set of sounds, and the resulting track is another drone fx success story, it's a winner, and I am very pleased with the input spec that I wrote - in fact, I would happily re-use this set of instruments or one very similar any time, because it is well-suited to the task of ambient music creation.
