I wanted to experiment with writing some ambient music today using just my analog synths, and this is the result!

This piece is comprised of 3 parts - a drone, a bass pattern, and a counterpoint pattern. 

The bass pattern is comprised of a 5-note cycle, and the counterpoint uses a 4-note cycle, resulting in a sequence of 20 harmonic dyads which then repeats.

I recorded two takes each for the bass and counterpoint in real-time with automation by hand each way through, and then panned both takes for each part left and right in order to create a more 3D stereo field.

Each piece was recorded using a Dreadbox Erebus running through an additional analog filter and digital FX section from the Dreadbox Typhon, with some EQ, compression, and a tape machine emulation added in Ableton, with very gentle limiting on the master.

Definitely going to be doing more ambient soon! Had a lot of fun with this, hope you enjoy! <3
