Some of my listeners requested a CD version of my 2025 album "ARPreciated".
And their wish is my command - so I updated the album today, extending it considerably and adding a 2 CD version that is now available from my Bandcamp page.
While CD 1 contains the original album, there's only one track on CD 2...
It has a running time of 77 minutes and 17 seconds though , and I think it turned out rather nicely.
Well, to be honest, I think it's one of the best things I've done so far in that genre.
I continued the original concept: only arpeggios and chords, and added the rule of using only VSTis that are emulations of classic ARP synthesizers. OK, here and there are also some spacy sound effects of course, plus a small amount of drums etc. to accentuate sections. But most of the time I sticked to the self-imposed rules...
Plus, there's one little "easter egg" hidden in there.
Anyway - to listen to that new (album-long) track, please...

I'd also like to mention that I added five shorter (and strictly digital) bonus tracks, using some of the music I had also created for the long track, but couldn't use it - because the 77 minutes that fit on one CD simply were up at some point.
P.S. About the bit thing, just to clarify:
ALL other tracks except "ARParition (16 bit)" are originally in 24 bit, and that's the quality that You'll get if You care to download the album in one of the lossless audio formats (...like Wave or FLAC).
Of course, I wished I could simply provide all music in 24 bit (as I usually do), but the long track turned out to big to upload to Bandcamp in that bit depth - thus the 16 bit version (which, after all, is still CD quality).
For the audiophiles among You, I split the long track about halfway and the result is those two parts of "ARParition" in 24 bit.
Other than the bit resolution (and the split) it's exactly the same music than the 16 bit version...
