Unicorn Making Coffee In The Mist

Relaxing Soothing Rabaab Instrumental (Amir Mohammad)

First new modular-based sketch in a while.

Elect Yourself

This piece uses a trick I learned last week via a YouTube video that showed a guy playing an MS-20 "drenched in reverb" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynu8vPu2amg). By playing fast arpeggios on the mono synth, and using a long decay at 100% wet in the effect unit, he was able to get ambient, sustained chords.

Here's my attempt at the same using a modular going into the 2C Aether reverb plugin.

I set up four rows of "chords" on the René, and used the Pressure Points to select between these rows via the René y-cv input.
That way I was able to "play" each chord. If anyone's interested leave comment and I'll put up a patch diagram.

This is something I've been sitting on for a while, but I am hoping to turn it into a full track soon...

"British ambient band Marconi Union has drummed up the world's most relaxing song: Weightless is 8 mins 10 sec. of aural bliss" - Time Magazine, Best Inventions of the Year. 

"An excellent compilation from the always interesting Just Music" - The Sunday Times

"The Ambient Zone is an album that feels like the world is peeling away, layer by layer, into multi-colored panoramas, just for you" - Echoes (CD of The Month)

The Ambient Zone is a beautiful journey into ambient and electronica inspired by universal themes of calmness, purity, relaxation and enrichment where Weightless is coupled with some exclusive first releases and other blissfully ambient tracks from Just Music artists and alumni.

Created instinctively and intuitively by Marconi Union, Weightless has been claimed to have therapeutic properties in the way the track almost appears to have a heartbeat running through it which slows down very gently throughout the piece, encouraging a deep sense of relaxation in the body, It's use of specific rhythms, beep bass tones, frequencies and intervals induce an almost trance like state in the listener.

"The Ambient Zone is an album that just screams (albeit quietly) of pure class" - Fluid Nation.

Feedback ambience. Seed is Telharmonic fed notes and gates from René, through Optomix, into a Zed 10FX mixer, fx looped through ErbeVerb to drone it up. Tweaked the frequency resonances with the Telharmonic centroid, and the swept mid EQ on the mixer. Added a little A&H flanger and an Ampex tape simulation to make it sound a little grungier.
