Just a collection of my music that I find relaxing and calming.

Relaxing Stuff

Hey, even though I'm on vacation doesn't mean I can't make some kick-ass chill-as-hell ambient music! I brought my Blofeld and lappy up here, plus my brand new (old) TR-707 and my MPK mini keys to play with. Maybe I'll do some old fashioned Detroit techno next with the 707, basically a poor-mans 909. Aww yiss!

That's right, I'm uploading from a cabin in the middle of a small spit of land in a harbor! Life is good. Plus it just rained, so I wanted to take advantage of this momentary break to bring you fine folks some good music. Well, less music more ambient.

Equipment Used:
Waldorf Blofeld - Main Pad (Custom LIGHT AIR preset)
wind/rain/thunder - Atmospheric VSTs
FL Studio 11 - Sequencing/Recording/Mixing/etc.
AKAI MPK mini - Keyboard
M-Audio Fast Track Ultra - Interface

Light Air

untitled

I don't know if this is chillwave, but its chill. And it sounds like waves, or clouds or something.

Everything but drums are outboard. Used FL Studio 12 to sequence and all the other shit. Some hardware fx, some software. Mainly Valhalla stuff, Pancake, etc.

Clouds

Another experimental piece, this one is three synths being droned in tandem with each other. Poly800 comes in on the lower drone first, then the DW8000 on an arp followed by the AX60 on another arp. This leads into the next song, Superposition.

Equipment Used:
Korg Poly800 - Chord Drone
Korg DW8000 - Arp
Akai AX60 - Arp

Really chill track, made one or two changes really quickly. Sorry for reupload.

Lullaby I

I'm back, had to study for a midterm and get a lot of stuff done. But now I've got the L100 hooked up to my Roland REVO-120, with two mics in stereo surrounding the cabinet. The REVO-120 is a leslie emulator, it's pretty cool. Uses Roland analog chorus and phaser circuits to simulate the doppler horn on the leslie.

This is just something I wanted to make. And now that I have a real tone-wheel Hammond, I can make it! Working on my Doric combo organ, hopefully that will be in the mix within the next month or so.

Equipment Used:
Oberheim Matrix 1000 - wind sounds
Roland Super JX10 - fifth brass/saw pad
Hammond L100 - organ
Roland REVO-120 - rotary speaker
Kawai K4r - bass tones
Fender Squier Bulletstrat - guitar
Korg DW-8000 - string machine-esque solo

Can't Sleep

Hey everybody, chill out homies. Everything will be just fine, I'll be supplying everyone with positive vibes and chill waves from here on out.

But for real, I did this all in one day and it does show a little. It's a simple enough chord progression, with just one held chord being shifted up and down by a whole step. DW-8000 is using this cool patch that exploits high-resonance to create an almost automated sounding effect. I also come in and solo on the SH-09 live through a Small Stone Nano. Really fun piece, not to mention every single patch in this song was made by yours truly.



Equipment Used:
Korg DW-8000 - Main Chords
Roland Super JX10 - Bass
Kawai K4r - Low Pads
Roland JV880 - Overdriven Rez Pad
Roland SH-09 - Solo

retromine - CR78 Percussion Emulation
iZotope DDLY - Basically Every Delay
EHX Small Stone Nano - Phaser for SH-09

Got my hands on the Artiuria MicroFreak a few weeks ago.  This is the first track I've put out so far.  A return to my breakbeat roots.
