Why is this creepy and beautiful at the same time?

Single resonator oscillator playing a single 6 note chord.  It's using a simple saw wave single-cycle waveform sample and s&h LFOs modulating timbre, spread, a tiny bit of q and LFO speeds.  Resonator oscillator output is direct to VCA, so no filtering is being used.  Inbuilt chorus, delay and reverb.

Waldorf Quantum iridium Resonator Ambient Drone - single patch/chord

Another latched-chord generative patch.   osc 1 is wavetable using 100 random Adventure Kid waveforms, osc 2 is wavetable using 40 random "classic" waveforms, osc 3 is a 2-octave down sub using 200 random Adventure Kid waveforms.  Independent svf LPF filters and digital former as comb+ filter. Has 29 rows of modulation using 5 synced s&h LFOs, a synced square LFO and a couple of looped free envelopes - all being used in source+controller combinations against wavetable position, filter cutoff, LFO speeds etc. Komplex Modulator is used to provide occassional pitch changes for oscs 1+2.  Effects are "crunch" drive(wavefolding), chorus, delay and reverb.  Bass boost is off. Recorded from Iridium - no additional processing. (patch ref: wt amb kitchen sink).

Waldorf Iridium Quantum generative ambient akwf - single patch/chord

Latched chord patch. This uses a saw-down LFO against filter cutoff to give the impression of repeated individual notes (no sequencing/arps).  all 3 oscillators are wavetables containing different sets of 200 random adventure kid waveforms.  s&h LFOs are used against wavetable position (kept in sync with the saw-down LFO), LFO speed etc.   Komplex Modulator provides occasional pitch variation for oscs 1+3.  Uses only inbuilt effects of crunch (wavefolder) drive, chorus, delay and reverb. Bass boost=off. Recorded on iridium with no additional processing. (patch ref: wt rnd notes).

Waldorf Iridium Quantum random generative notes akwf - single patch/chord

Single patch played with simple 4 note latched chord. Patch uses 3 kernels oscillators, each with all six operators/kernels set up using FM, AM and some wavetable position modulation.  The bulk of the modulation is from the main mod matrix sent via the macro knobs.  Uses 1 saw down LFO and 5 s&h LFOs in various amount/controller combinations, with LFO speed being modulated. Komplex modulator brings in a very occasional pitch bend in oscs 1+2. Uses all 40 rows of matrix. Digital filter with a bit of movement, small amount routed to digital former in parallel with no movement but just shaving off a bit of the top end.  Recorded directly from quantum using internal effects - delay (dry/wet and feedback modulated by LFO) and reverb. (patch ref: fm genr8 1)

Hi Everyone .. 
This one is a bit different from my regular shows . 
I have been too busy to make a set with my guests this time .. 
So i decided to do this one from Ohm Series artist Taction and Sa3b.
Australian and a Beirut Dj.
Really nice sets,, they have their own flavor to bring to the table ,, so i thought it might be a nice combo .. 
Check it out.

Ohm Series With Taction And Sa3b

Yesterday i Found this Tune on my Computer. the track is 7-8 years old. To that time i was really in to 90s stepper UK dub and Jah Shaka was on of my Idols. He inspired me alot to that time!!

ABOUT LIVING ROOM SONGS:

Icelandic contemporary composer Ólafur Arnalds created and released a new song, one per day for one for one whole week during the month of October 2011. The songs were recorded and filmed live in the living room of his Reykjavik apartment and released instantly for free as streamed videos and mp3 downloads.

Thousands of fans followed this exciting project online at: livingroomsongs.olafurarnalds.com

Living Room Songs will now also be released on CD, Vinyl, Ltd. Special Edition CD &amp; DVD and as High Quality Downloads on December 5th via Erased Tapes.


Following in the spirit of Ólafur Arnalds’ critically acclaimed Found Songs (2009) now comes Living Room Songs. This time Ólafur takes the idea further and invites the audience into the comfort of his living room, where the songs were recorded live and the whole process filmed. The songs were instantly released in form of a free mp3 download and video stream- straight from Ólafur's Reykjavik apartment.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: ‘One night I was just playing my piano here in this apartment and I was writing a new song and I didn't have my phone on me which I usually use to record ideas. So I actually took out my MacBook and I didn't want to open like a proper recording program, so I just opened Photo Booth and recorded a video of myself playing the song so that I would remember the song. And I really liked the atmosphere of that video and that's when I thought I should do a series of songs in my living room...’             – Ólafur Arnalds


Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbær, a few kilometers outside of Reykjavík, the 24-year old composer has always enjoyed pushing boundaries with both his studio work and his live-shows. Through relentless touring and determination this young artist has steadily gained recognition worldwide since his 2007 debut Eulogy for Evolution. Ólafur Arnalds’ second full-length album ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness, continues his mission to lure an indie-generation of pop and rock fans into an emotive world of beguiling electronic chamber music and delicate classical arrangements. Ólafur is currently touring with Ryuichi Sakamoto on his Trio Tour throughout Europe.

Near Light

Ólafur Arnalds - Near Light

Experiment using the Synth Tech E352 and Noise Engineering Cursus Iteritas, both sequenced by o_C.  All run through and Eventide Space.

There is an annoying click/pop that I don't like.  I'll need to track that down and rerecord, but I like it otherwise.
