    1. That’s a brilliant introduction, thx for English link!

      Still can’t get my head around the the proportion of work vs amount of notes and timbres, but it’s special alright!

    A dream lady for the electronic musician. She is drop dead gorgeous, intelligent, sweet and talented.
    One day… one day…. So, I’ll return to my synths for the time being.
