Minimal Abstractions by Alex Ringess

This album is a deeper dive into minimalism and post-minimalism than Emotional Abstraction.
Inspirational sources came from the minimalism pioneers like Steve Reich or Philip Glass to the most recent ones like Michael Nyman (which is minimalist in a certain way), Caterina Barbieri or Hélène Vogelsinger, passing by some minimal IDM with Max Cooper and a bit of neo-classical with Ólafur Arnalds.
No analog synths nor modular synths were used.
Only software synths (Vital VST) with a few presets highly modulated in the Daw to give the analog/modular vibe.

This album was the hardest one to do. It was a journey.
Composition and mixing was hard, sound design too.
It took me 3 times longer to make this one compared to all the others.
I don't know if it is a garantee of quality but for now I'm pretty happy with the end result.
Anyway, enough words, time to the music.
Enjoy.

About loudness.
I'm not on this loudness war thing. So this album isn't mastered with high loudness. Feel free to pump up the volume if it is too quiet to your taste but don't forget to save your ears.

And a special thanks to Remote Vision (Don Tyler) because without his impulse this album wouldn't never be a thing.
