"Ambient piece. Kind of feels like soundtrack music. The Casio keyboard has some nice sounds in it, but obviously isn't designed for live performance/switching patches, since it makes that beep every time. So I hope you enjoy. :)"

Mr Kondel - First Day On Jupiter

YouTube Uploaded by dzlvs8 on Mar 16, 2012

"First day using my new Jupiter 6. I hated its sound for the first 15 minutes. But then after that, I fell in love with the harsh, bright, thin, bleepy bloopy sound. It's very unique and very powerful. I love it!"

The synth to the left of the Drumtraks is an MFOS Soundlab Minisynth mk2.

ambient synthesis

ambient synthesis from Amanda Ghassaei on Vimeo.

"Ambient synthesis is a sound sculpture that responds to light stimuli to construct a unique audiovisual interpretation of its environment. Light sensors in the device pick up changes in its surroundings (the scenes from this video demonstrate the piece responding to sunsets and sunrises). This data is interpreted by a MaxMSP application to produce abstract symmetrical patterns and a slowly evolving synthetic drone. The inspiration from the piece comes from the idea that simple sounds can be mixed together to create more complex sounds, an idea called 'additive synthesis.' In this piece, each pixel represents one frequency of a harmonic series. When a pixel becomes active, its respective frequency is incorporated into the mix to create a gradually evolving soundscape that, over time, produces a wide range of timbres and textures.
