This is part two 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

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

'Darkness' is a jam I performed for Jamuary 2025. The Lyra-8 demonstrates its sheer brutality and spreads a pure post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Such a beast!

Time Lapse

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.

"Rise" is another Lyra-8 drone. I am currently shaping a live set I gonna play only with the Lyra-8 and its sibling, the Cosmos. I realised its almost impossible to make a "setlist" or some similar starting configs as I almost end up with something completely different than I thought I would go to. I use the concept of "idea" instead of "tracks" on this setting and this track is a good example for this concept: "Rise" has a quite good "Preset" that I noted on a piece of paper. I can easily repeat this and get similar results - it's of course not a replicate but It comes close to the idea and goes somewhere else then.

"Crackles" is another Lyra-8 drone. I am currently shaping a live set I gonna play only with the Lyra-8 and its sibling, the Cosmos.

Crackles

This is the latest track of my current ambient drone series, created with Soma Lyra-8, Elektron Digitakt and Strymon Big Sky. I wanted to create a mood that sounds different than the usual Lyra stuff and not like a typical drone. I felt like I need something else in my liveset and here we go - Digitakt adds a simple pad sound to the rhythmic pattern of the Lyra. 'Modulation' is also the title track of my upcoming performance.

Modulation

For this track I use a modified hybrid setup: The Solar 42F is routed into the Analog Rytm and then into Albeton where I put some Big Sky Magic on top. The AR has no other function as being an audio interface in this jam, but upcoming jams will build on it by adding some drums and samples with it, so this setup is more of a preparation for upcomig tracks. I love the massive drift of some oscillators LOL sounds confusing imho.
