All songs or loops made within the Teenage Engineering OP-1. Samples are from the radio, my other instruments, and my field recordings.

OP-1 Tracks

It Can Happen

Highs And Lows (edit)

Water Level

Secret Room

I was using The Field as a loose reference for this.

Down

Set out to make something with only sounds from Microkorg, arranged and mixed using OP-1.

Neon Sunset

Shuttle 55

Calciotropic

Re-sampled a bunch of my solo synthesizer recordings to make pads.

Stream

Sunspots

Cycle

An exercise in sampling my guitar playing, and chopping that up to arrange into something else. It's purposefully noisy and all over the place, because it felt good that way.

Moody

Using only String synthesis on OP-1... thinking of "Arrival" and Max Richter.

Temporal

Red Leather

Overgrown

Just playing around with sounds. Been trying to finish little demos as fast as I can to have parts to play with later. Mixed results.

Offset

Struggle

Listening to a lot of records from KOMPAKT. Trying to replicate the minimal style with OP-1. Key word is "trying," but it's a lot of fun anyway.

Focus

Practicing using Ableton as a mixing/mastering/finalizing tool. Really enjoying it! (All audio recorded to tape in OP-1, run through an EQ and limiter in Ableton, minor cuts with Audacity).

Bright Lights

Some electric guitar lines reversed, played with keyboard.

Looking Ahead

I make a little bit of everything, and put it here. Rough sketches, jams, and other improvisations. I primarily use hardware synthesizers, samplers, and guitars to create.
