Aurelia, by Terraphones


video upload by Terraphones



"Aurelia is a wind instrument that bridges acoustic expression and electronic sound. It responds to both breath and touch, translating natural, human gestures into rich melodies. Aurelia’s key layout is unique to all other wind instruments, giving you the ability to play in every major and minor key with equal ease. Aurelia was created to feel as inviting to the novice as it is deeply expressive to the professional.

Aurelia’s keys use Cherry MX Silent Red keyswitches, giving you the accuracy and speed that can be found on the most well-tuned wind instruments. Housed in a handmade, solid walnut enclosure, Aurelia has a striking visual aesthetic that also feels extremely comfortable in the hands.

Aurelia has a unique sonic engine that uses warm, analog-modeled oscillators, creating a gradient of sound qualities that work well with both acoustic and electronic musical environments.

While playing solo melodies is at Aurelia’s core, it also has a Counterpoint Mode that will harmonize with you as you play. Just choose a key, and Aurelia will figure out the rest.

Aurelia is designed for portability. It can run on four rechargeable AA batteries, and has a built-in speaker. With USB MIDI out and a 1/4" stereo audio out, Aurelia excels in studio and live performance settings as well. Aurelia can be powered via USB-C with any device that supplies 4-17 volts.

Ambient Electronica of Fading Synths and Sapporo soundscape | Fading Memories 2026-01-22 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Moog One, ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CP88, ‪@NordKeyboards‬ Nord Lead, and tape loops. Set against field recordings captured in snowy streets of Sapporo, electric piano and synthesizer sounds emerge and fade away, forming an ambient electronica composition.

The Prophet-10 is used to play synth pads, processed with reverb and delay via ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOST+FOUND.

Two tape loops are used. One contains a one-minute recording of an electric piano performance, while the other plays field recordings from the streets of Sapporo. The electric piano tape is played back on a ‪@WeAreRewind1‬ cassette player and processed with delay using ‪@strymon‬ TIMELINE. The field recording tape is played on a Rock & Play cassette player, with the pitch lowered and further processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII, where reverb and layered micro-loops deepen the pitch and texture.

The Moog One and Nord Lead are occasionally played to add synth pads. The Nord Lead is processed with reverb via ‪@gfisys‬ Specular Tempus.

The CP88 plays a Rhodes sound, layering simple phrases with its built-in reverb and delay."

"Listen for a gentle warming uplift, as the earliest glimpses of spring are emerging. Days are getting lighter, as they always do.

This is "Expanse Part 2", an improvisation that came to be because I'd been re-jigging my studio set-up and was testing a gear combo (listed below).

Happy Jamuary."

Analemma - downtempo ambient


video upload by rustyjaw

"Have worked on this on and off for a couple of months. The basic outline of the track took shape fairly quickly, then the familiar self-doubts crept in and I spun for a while. Not seeing a way to move forward, I stopped working on it. The holidays came and went, and I left this project in stasis. But when I finally came back to it with fresh ears, I could sort of see a path forward. I reworked parts and found the groove again.

I think the bass in this is probably the most interesting part, it came about from experiments with MIDI FX on Hapax, using random LFOs to influence filter and amp settings on the OB6, creating this off-kilter wobbly sound with some funkiness. That then inspired the percussion.

The major players in this are: 3Rd Wave (the opening sound), OB-6 on bass, Prophet, Digitakt, Digitone doing background ambience, Minilogue, and a sprinkling of the Make Noise NUSS system."
