Under the name "Skoula" with the title "Live" I made my first album. Recorded from 1997 - 2001 with a compact cassette tape recorder and with the help (sometimes) of Cakewalk (midifiles) installed on a 386 computer.
The second one named "Voyager" under the name "Skoulariki" recorded digital from 2004 - 2006 with Ableton Live Delta on a 1200 mhz labtop computer. Most of the recordings are done in one track and with the use of the arpeggiator from the Kurzweil Midiboard.
***
After several questions about the album "Voyager" I decided to made this production available for downloading. Not all the tracks, I made a selection and put some new (old) to it, to complete a second "Voyager" under my artist name Skoulaman. Just visit my Bandcamp account.
