In my entire 73 years of life, I cannot remember a time when I did not proclaim Clair de Lune my favorite piece of music. Has always been and will always be. So I thought I had heard every rendition of it ever played. Now you give me this. I am too grateful for words. Thank you!

When I was a kid I used to spend all my holidays in South of France. I remember my mom making the breakfast. As we were eating our breakfast in the early hours of the morning in front of those huge huge huge wheat/corn/sunflower fields in the valley in front of our house she always put this same old kind of classical music in the background. Delibes. Saint-Saëns. Satie. And Debussy of course. This is what this song reminds me, 30-ish years later. This kinda hurts but it also makes me feel good at the same time. Merci beaucoup.

As a pianist that holds this as one of my favourite pieces to play, and as also a rabid synth fanatic... I think this was marvelous. Debussy was arguably the father of impressionism in the musical form, and had a thing for gamelin music so he would have LOVED this version! I've been fumbling around with the question of whether a eurorack rig would be money well spent for me. This goes a long way toward my justification! Don't tell my wife.
