This sounds pretty good - is it just me or does the Virus B seem to have a better/smoother/thicker tone for this type of ambient work than the C?

Messing around with my Access Virus B, playing a live ambient drone... using one patch (INIT sine wave), LFOs, Envelope & Filter adjustments, and some Reverb.

All sounds and effects are from the Virus B, with no external processing. This excerpt (5 mins) is from a longer video (26 minutes).

BIO
===
While I appreciate music in many genres, I’ve always had a love for electronica… especially ambient, chillout and IDM, likely due to artistic influences in my youth (see “Influences” here: http://synth4ever.com/about-synthever/influences ).

It all started around age 6 when I first heard works done by a Japanese synthesist/composer named Isao Tomita. My parents had bought 3 of his records (Kosmos, The Planets, and The Bermuda Triangle) at a garage sale because the cover artwork “looked cool”.

Little did I know (at the time) that he was a major pioneer in the electronic & analogue synth music scene. When listening to his material, I often dream of soundscapes, distant planets and other such far-away places, and I think my early exposure to his music influenced me for the rest of my life towards a “space ambient” style.

I took piano lessons at a young age for a brief time, but then focused on drumming from age 12. Still, over the years my interest and love for electronic music grew until the point of finally purchasing my first synthesizer in January 2012. Since then I have developed a voracious appetite for all things synth.

DEMOS & MUSIC
======

When it comes to my synth demos,  I try to showcase what I’ve learnt about the synths I own thus far, and to share with others my love for these synths. I prefer the spontaneity of live performance and hands-on, real-time tweaking of the synth itself.

I like to play music in a more “space ambient” style comprised of long sustained pads, arpeggiators, resonance, reverbs and delay. I find this style allows me great freedom to tweak a synth’s various parameters, play with effects to create new sounds, and create emotional soundscapes that are pleasing to my ear and which take me (and hopefully, the listener) on an emotional journey through electronic music.
