Sadness Dissipates to a Comfortable Haze

By rdomain on February 10, 2024 8:51 am

All sounds and ideas were written on the OP-1 and then mixed in Ableton Live.  No other sounds were used.

This piece came about from a monthly Discord challenge where for this month you have to write a piece of music using a piece of 'bad gear' that was reviewed on the Youtube channel of the same name.

OP-1? Bad gear? Wild. Very cool sounds in this one!

Ah yais i am familiar with it's bad-ace-ness.  Very fitting title especially on that midrange sound and how it flitters in and out.  The deep kicks fit in so nicely with the comfortable haze smile  nice work!

I think you proved that bad gear can make good music too. ( aka a good musician can make good music with everything)

lots of amazing sounds here, I could never get the Op-1 to sounds quite like this, really cool to hear. I think generally speaking it's a limited machine but working within those limitations people can wring out some incredible stuff out of it

you have achieved a fine, connoisseur's grain to this dub sound, respect! heart

That's very nice sounding for bad gear!

Yes.... 'bad gear' I think is to be taken with a grain of salt as the OP-1 is quite awesome really and thanks!

Thanks! I've had this thing for many years and nearly always create my own sounds on it.  It's a great little synth!  I'm struggling to justify upgrading to the newer version as it's so much more expensive!!

Ah cool.  Thank you so much.  I'm definitely a fan of the dub mixing.  smile
