Hello folks. 

today's jam is not 100% dawless as I sequenced the Vermona Perfourmer with Ableton Live and put some reverb VST on it. The Lyra-8 is running into the Cosmos and Hardware Big Sky in parallel, all together mixed in my Air 192 audio interface. 

The sequences of the Vermona are generated in realtime with a software called "Rythmizer Ultra", a pretty flexibel MIDI generator. 

Ambient Session 007

This is part one of a longer jam session with the Lyra-8 from Soma Labs. It is basically a constant rhythm playing, constantly modulated by the Lyra effects and LFOs. Parts of the sequence are conserved and looped on the Soma Cosmos, giving the entire performance another layer of depth.

Ambient Session 008 Part I

Another Ableton Move track. Only 4 elements. Keeping it simple.

Day 3 Jamuary '25 Ableton Move Jam

This track is made for Jamuary 08 - Prompt: What happens if your sound enters unknown space? Well when you play the Lyra, this is a constant question that answers itself while tuning the knobs. But when I read the black hole thing, I instantly had the Eventide Reverb on my mind and that let me use a 50 sec tail on my Big Sky :D 

Ambient Session 010

I performed this drone jam as part of Jamuary 2025 - it's also an exercise for my upcoming performance on February 22 which will be Ambient only. I am running a sequencer called "Rhytmizer Ultra" on my Macbook, playing a random sequence on the Vermona Perfourmer. It's output is routed into the Lyra-8 so I can put heavy distortion and the delay effects on it. All audio goes then into the magic Cosmos and where it creates a beautiful background for the Perfourmer Sounds. 

Ambient Session 012

A 3 device hardware jam. Digitakt on main beats, Syntakt on perc and drone bass with Deluge on the arps. Played in live, one take with a touch of Ozone 11 on the master for help with the levels.

Jamuary Day 27 A min pent 130BPM

Jam made on some of my favourite boxes. Analog RTYM doing most beats. Digitakt 2 and Syntakt on perc. Deluge for basses and MIDI control of Digitone for pads. Fun to play with.
All played and sequenced in live.

Jamuary Day 30 Em 130BPM

Hello my friends, 

Hope you guys survived Jamuary :D I had to let go after the first weeks because I am fully focused working on my new performance which will premiere on February 22 at the Synth Club. The gig will have some deep ambient tracks but also melodic parts like this. I hooked up a hybrid setup which works really well, I used it before but this time I also inserted the Lyra-8 (which I don’t use in this Jam) and the Perfourmer MKII which are both routed into the Cosmos Looper - together with some spiced sounds coming out of the computer (in this track it´s the Reese-Bass and some texture samples). 

I really love these tracks! Do you think it would make a good opener for the set?

“Kind” is the first jam I recorded on my new synthesizer: the Solar 42F from Elta Music. I named the track “Kind” because this instrument has many buttons, switches and lights that let the child in me play and go on a journey of discovery. 

Of course I use an Arabic scale in this first jam :D If you know my music, you also know my preference for Middle East influences. After my first attempts, I was glad that I got the 24 oscillators more or less in tune with each other - I think that was my biggest difficulty. 
 
Have fun :D
