My music

Hi Avalon folk - I thought I'd share some of my ambient-ish music with you. Here's my latest piece, hope you like it. I called it "Survival"

Thank you - I use an Arturia Microfreak and a Behringer Neutron synth. Lately I have moved away from Windows to Linux and the Ardour DAW. I then usually smother it all with Reverb.

I haven't used a sampler for ages (an Akai) but have recently bought a Korg Volca sample which hasn't been put to good use yet. Let me know how it goes with the sp404

thats a great setup for shaping the sounds, i only hear good about the microfreak

[samsdice]

Yes the microfreak is great. It keeps getting firmware updates that extend it's capabilities greatly :-)

Here's a little ambient piece I've done called Unmadding

Survival is deep, I mean ...I felt it listening to it. Love the other two too! I muck about with a Yamaha Reface CS to get ambients and played around with deep synthesis on a Korg DS10 which is a Nintendo DS game emulating a couple of Korg MS-10s, written by Korg; it goes through the Nintendo pre-amp, and adds in the consoles native sound effect DSPs, which gives it an extra layer of 'game music'-ness to the sound. Ambients are more of a craft to me that I have to work at, rather than sitting down and plonking along with something which feels like easier work... I'm listening carefully to see if I can learn something from your magic! :beer:

Awesome music. Bravo

Hi and thanks - I've seen that Korg DS10 package for Nintendo - looks interesting. My approach to ambient music is less is more and get a good reverb effect software or hardware.

Thanks! I have been practising both of those so I'll bring them together. I do overdubbed live takes, so instead of laptop DSP the delay/echo I'll use is an Akai Headrush, which I bought second hand and one of the buttons doesn't work, but the sound is infectious and I love the tap tempo. I'll bring it to be the star of the show ;) Your advice is going to help me with an audiobook soundtrack. I play live over the audiobook reading making it up as I go along (edit: overdubbing in Audacity) more or less and mix it together later. I did one three years ago (6 mins long, soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/mrbennhundred/the-return-of-tom-thumb-heros-theme)) but I need to refresh it because of editing, and more to the point it's too melodious, thinking about it now, it needs 3 x less lead and longer changes. I mean it's an ok as a theme tune but I was aiming for ambient background music. I love that Headrush, can't wait to have a play with it again

[samsdice]

Hi Matthew, I gave Heros Theme a listen - it reminds me of the legendary 80s band Art of Noise (e.g. Moments In Love) - if you redo it post it here! Good stuff.

I just listened to Unmadding and it is really beautiful and realaxing, great sounds :music:

[samsdice]

Hi Beautiful Avalonians, here's another piece in my ambient series which I've just completed. This actually uses the same music as "Unmadding" but done differently. I hope you like it.

Thank you, so lovely. I'm just about to turn in for the night, so I am sure I will have sweet dreams now :flower:

My compliments to a talented musician. It was a real pleasure getting to listen to this. I hope you keep up the good work, inspired by all the thanks and appreciation this forum has to offer.

Many Thanks for your kind comments...I'll be posting some more soon

[samsdice]

Finally....another piece called "the upper room". The video includes a cool waveform analysis.

What happened? I was very curious to hear some especially upon reading the feedback from everyone else.

I have been looking into getting back into some synth production myself - the different variety of available synths is a bit overwhelming. I love the classic Moog and there are a couple great newer ones that are very intriguing. But I am still considering the options because I know one purchase will make me want more.

I stay away from desktop synths because I enjoy having my hands on the synth itself. Old school. I had a Moog Rogue when it first came out, so I am looking forward to pushing some sounds around again (It has been a long time.)

My son is producing his own songs as well, so I have been getting very inspired. Hope to hear your tunes soon.
