Less infuriating ambient

By scottux on January 12, 2020 10:29 pm

Made this over after about three and a half hours of jams and synth exploration with a friend. His parts were recorded separately, so this is all me. The bell bit that serves as some kind of melody is the Hydrasynth. The rest is tiny modular. Big focus on Mimeophon, Plaits into Humpback as bass, and Morphagene as low pad by way of rhodes sample.

This is very beautiful and sad sounding. This is just the kind of ambient music I try to find. Adding this to my favorites.

Yay, I'm glad it wasn't so infuriating this week. The glimmery bell/stained glass/pedal steel texture on top of the foreboding foghorn bass is a nice juxtaposition.

How are you liking the Hydrasynth? Those seem really cool - the interface makes me wistful for my long-departed SQ80.

niceeee

Glad you made peace with your setup haha. This is so lovely, jamming like this for 3 hours sounds like such a lovely relaxing experience. I might have to try it at some point.

Moody AF; love this.

This ambient jams definetely need a video, so we could see all that modular magic happening. Downloaded

Quality stuff, as usual

Lush, floating goodness. Nice!

That's so nice to hear! This also feels like I'm getting back to the kind of ambient I like to make, so hopefully you'll hear more of this in the coming beats.

Oh I adore it. It sounds great but then again most synths can sound great, but the act of creating a patch or interacting with the patch is really intuitive and fun!

I do imagine there's plenty of learnings yet to come, but god there's nothing like the pressure of performing with a friend to help you make decisions and figure things out at anything faster than a glacial pace, huh!

TY though I think it might be too moody for the intended setting: a yoga class. Too moody?

Thank you! Lush is what I'm goin for!

This makes me think of the beautiful vistas of a modded Minecraft, love it!

Bruh. No such thing as too moody.
TBF everyone is different but I think if you're yoga class-ing right, you're not over thinking your mood music wink

ps, that mimeophon is SOoosoooooo sassy.

Digging the overall ambience of the track and that low bass when it bends to the next note.  It's menacing but in a calm way.  Nice work!

oh the menace is all SEM filter. Doing Plaits with a two voice osc into the Humpback sem filter clone with some drive and resonance and it's SO tasty.
