Synthesizer-Wettbewerb, Beitrag "Ambient Jam"


video upload by KEYBOARDS

"Ambient Jam with Polyend/Dreadbox Medusa and a few iPad apps.

A total of only 6 tracks, a simple chord progression, but with Probability/Random Notes from the Medusa and a few effects. It's all very chilled out and only using my "desktop setup" in my office. Since I usually only make music with hardware, this is a nice change and a challenge for me.

To visualize the whole thing more appealingly, I used a freely available NASA video in the background, which can be used for non-commercial purposes. The video was created with Adobe Premiere Pro. Everything else in the video, and of course the music, is mine.

I use the Medusa with Probability for melodic to whiny synth sounds, mostly with the wavetable oscillators. During recording, I play around with the filters and oscillators. The Medusa sequencer is synced to AUM by Kymatica.

I also recorded the bass beforehand using the Medusa and its analog oscillators. This is played back via the Koala sampler.

The track begins with a synth pad from Synthscraper/Igor Vasiliev

and two tracks of 'synthetic' water (one via the Koala Sampler, the other via the Spacecraft granular sampler). I tinkered around until I managed to create something reminiscent of flowing water from the noise and other sounds.

Klevgrand's Hillman, a phaser-equipped organ synth, is used to give the track a bit of a retro flair.

To increase the dynamics, Klevgrand's REAMP, a tube amp simulation, is later used.

Reverb from Eventide (BlackHole) was used except on the bass.

The mastering was done with GrandFinale 2, which was already in the signal path during recording."
