Last week I was welcomed onto Synth Stream for their Downtempo event - a virtual festival with a number of dope downtempo and ambient artists. This set is much longer and more ambient than I typically shoot for, and I'm quite happy with the result!
The audio was mastered by my good friend, TJ Dumser. Check out his music at @Six Missing - https://www.tjdumser.com/. He also had a set at Synthstream - look out for it!
Patch notes:
- Ambience generated by an insane chain of Arbhar - Morphagene - Lubadh - QPAS - Mimeophon - Data Bender. Morphagene provides the texture in the first movement, then I move over to Arbhar for the second movement. Lubadh loops a bit of each at half speed for congruency. All of this gets a healthy amount of Big Sky as well.
- Rings in polyphonic FM mode, sequenced by Meadowphysics. Patched through Magneto.
- DFAM providing some rhythmic context throughout. Patched through Three Sisters for a hands-on bandpass filter to change the energy of it, as desired.
- WMD percussion modules clocked by Zularic Repetitor (Teletype for probability), patched through Supercell for atmosphere.
- Pittsburgh SV-1 on the basslines, sequenced by Ableton.
- Elements for melodies, sequenced by Ableton as well.
- Elektron Machinedrum on the beats.
- Novation Summit on the pads.
- Moog Matriarch to taste, throughout.
