My friend Craig Padilla posted this performance video of his recent composition, Challenger Deep. Please give it a view/listen.
Part of the charm comes from knowing that he created this using a modular synthesizer built by his friend and northwest micro-manufacturer, George Matson. For any synth-geeks out there, you’ll know this is a fairly minimalist hardware synthesizer setup on which to compose, in an era where mega-synths exist in software and apps. For everyone else, please simply enjoy this composing/performance of a lovely work of ambient and evocative northstate style music for what it is, by a widely regarded master of the genre.
Believe it or not, this 2014 music is available on vinyl from the artist.
So, enjoy. It’s Really Redding.
Life and all in Redding California
