While the family is making dem pies, I finally got a chance to upload my newest space ambient piece, "Matrix D."

I often ask myself, if I was just starting out in music production, what gear would I own and how would I work? So, I recorded this entire song using one, budget, boutique synth, the Behringer Model D, and did the recording and most of the mixing in a little ASUS Vivobook.

I'm happy with the result. I hope you enjoy it.

Learning music theory doesn't have to be difficult. We plan to add one short video a week to build a foundation in music theory. This video starts with the basics of the 12 tone system, including natural notes, accidentals and octaves. We're working on the next video for release this Friday that will teach you how to identify all the notes on the treble staff.

I've set up a Discord server called "David Peterson Harvey's Strange World."

If you are interested, please feel free to join the server at

Since David loves doing strange, experimental sound design for music, he has created a Space Ambient playlist on YouTube. He'll be creating similar on Odysee and Rumble. Here's the first addition to the new playlist, "Sunrise on Venus."
