I ran the Soma Terra through the Nux Cerberus pedal and an old Boss GT-10… plus Ventris reverb… a nice outcome 😀

This is my 2nd performance on the Solar 42F by Elta Music, and my 34th Dark Ambient Music Exploration.
A mind journey through light and darkness…

It’s been over a year since I got out my first ever synthesiser… This is responsible for my synth addiction! 💎🔥

@TRobinsonNewEra https://t.co/RtRmoME0fb. Please can we make sure that Tommy and Elon know about this…
IF this TikTok is true we need to know and prepare. Also, is the video linked to the recent gov phone alarm test recently… is it a call to action against the people?

SOMA TERRA: ON THE STREETS - Synthesiser Music Performance | Hebden Brid... https://t.co/z6ZKFkEWYq via @YouTube

Here for my 2nd synthesiser live busking performance, I got up early and set off for Hebden Bridge in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.

[Rick Hopkinson @rick_hopkinson]

I wouldn’t mind, but I was still setting up and hadn’t played a thing yet! 🤣
Anyway that early drama was forgotten once the people arrived and I switched on the Terra… and started sending out some chilled cinematic vibes!

[Rick Hopkinson @rick_hopkinson]

… offered my lunch to a guy in need, and then promptly (after he’d eaten half of it and no thank you in sight) got insulted and told I couldn’t play music for s**t! 😬

[Rick Hopkinson @rick_hopkinson]

Onto the train on a hot ☀️ day… filming the journey as I went.
Arrived at the spot, started setting up…

A cinematic drone music journey… I got this dream synth two weeks ago & I’m so glad I did! It pulls you in & you go on your own mind journey, I invite you to join me

[Rick Hopkinson @rick_hopkinson]

I saw this one online in stock at the retailer… and it was a YELLOW one! 🤩, so I just went for it despite breaking my bank 😂. My favourite colour since childhood too.

I setup a sunset LED lamp and lit the synth, set the vibe… and pressed record 🔴
