The summer is still in its Solstice. Have a warm day!

Fantasy is played on Maschine Mikro MK3 with pads and knobs. Only stock drum/bass, synth and the new polysynth. When Maschine software chocked on tracks and FX, rendered tracks into Ableton for tweaking, mixing and to play more embellishments with Polysynth as VST. Mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. Fantasy will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled Love, some day, maybe. TNX!

Fantasy

Office friendly. Lab Rat meditative. Chill hard and shine, fellow Lab Rats! 🐀

Played with Roland Verselab and midi driven, directly recorded Moog Subsequent 37CV.  Free download today. Lab Rats only :) 

Lab Rat cover art is made on iPhone with PhotoLeap app. Relaxing way to sign off from the works of a day and mess with pictures/layers/colors. Office picture copyright belongs to whatever-furniture-company, and the rats photo belongs to the rats..... or does it?

... any second now. So chilling hard, calm as a clam... 🦪

Polybrute, Arturia MiniMoogV for basses, Buchla Easel 208C on leads. Mastered with FabFilter, UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, but different mixing chains and mastering. Of course you would say, - "all your sht sounds the same to me"! If you do, I'll be pleased taking it as a complement :) Its great to achieve some consistency in any crazy things we all do. May get there one day. Stay creative!

Free download today. As always few track downloadable on my account, thanks for grabbing and letting them to the wild!

Personal Borealis

✨ Can you hear the nebular sounds? ✨ Analogue grit and silk from Korg ARP2600m arping and Arturia Polybrute on the lead voice. 

Recorded ARP2600m live by tweaking 5-7 sliders, then placed 8-bar parts to L/R channels in Ableton for more spacial movement. Lead tune is played on Polybrute's keyboard. Designed two Polybrute A/B presets and manually tweaked with Morphee controller. While DAW is playing pre-automated glide and filter sweeps. Arturia Pigments for colored pads and OB-Xa for nebular glitter. Basslines are Arturia Mini and Moog UADx. FabFilter Saturn2 saturation, ProQ3/C/L2, Arturia Intensity/Eternity, and Moogerfooger MF-104S. As always the new and a dozen other tracks are downloadable on my accounts, thanks!

Imaging hot summer mid-day, having a rest under a tree ... breeze calming you down ...

Musically I wanted to experiment when played this tune on iPhone the other day. Wanted to invert what we usually play as a background and bring upfront. And the other way around pads and harmony to dominate. Just like how you perceive reality when falling a sleep or having Catnap break. When loud noises do not matter and you hear more of the ambient instead. Directly uploaded from Korg Gadget app on iPhoneX. 118Bpm.
