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

Relaxing Stuff

Ambient

SleepySleeperson

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

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

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

Yasemi

I'm trying out this microKORG, got it so I can take it places since it has a battery compartment. Fun fun!

This is a patch I made, if you want it, teach me how to dump patches lol.

Equipment Used:
Korg microKorg - Synth

Some shimmer reverb

microKORG Ambient #1

Another ambient test, another patch. Took me 10 minutes to figure out how to save patches, not proud of that.

Equipment Used:
Korg microKORG - Synth

Some more shimmer

microKORG Ambient #2

Just finished my DIY build of the MTM Turing Machine Mk2, decided to put it through its paces running with the Bermuda osc and the Make Noise 0-coast. Gate pulses the trigger input of contour, with the CV going through a quantizer then into the 0-coast 1v/oct and the Bermuda. Clock input comes from the LP-1. Mutable Instruments Clouds is set at 100% wet with no pitch modification.

Equipment Used:
Make Noise 0-COAST
HEK Modular

Turing Machine Testing

This is just a quick jam I threw together this evening. Uses mostly a drone from the 0-COAST, the MS-20 with a nice slow envelope (both of which run into Clouds to do some pitch shifting). Also we've got a DX7 playing little plunky sounds.

Equipment Used:
Korg MS-20 Mini - Slow pad
Make Noise 0-COAST - Drone
Yamaha DX7 - EP sounds

Fostex 2016 Line Mixer - Mixer for modular
ART PRO VLA - Stereo compression for modular

Behringer T1952 - Master comp/limiter/coloring

Akai EIE - PC interface
REAPER - Final recording

Laminar Ripples

Some relaxing stuff, playing around with the mutable instruments rings module. It's cool!

Equipment Used:
Mutable Instruments Rings, Clouds
MTM Turing Machine Mk II
MTM Mikrophonie Mk I
2hp Tune
Korg Volca Beats (clock provider)

Zoom MS70CDR - Lofi Delay
Boss RV6 Reverb - Shimmer

Rings

I got the office/studio set up again after I sold off quite a few things and wanted to give Maddie some more space. So I took out the two dual-tier stands and brought back the single triple-tier stand. For this, I just stood there in front of the stack of keyboards and improved this. Very fun.

Equipment Used:
Akai AX80 - Squareish Synth
Roland JX-3P - Brassy Pad
Yamaha DX7 - Bass Drone

Stack Flow

It gets lonely floating out in space
