any fans of live long-form ambient?
some friends and I got together on friday to have an ambisonic jam… here’s a two hour binaural render from that night for those interested :)

Then once you’re hooked you’ll be dying to throw your money at a nice rope. Really feels good to have a proper one ;)
Just discovered recently and truly one of the quickest and best ways to quiet my busy ADHD brain ❤️ it’s like a magical full body stim :))
Also for curious people, any soft, thick-ish nylon rope from a hardware store is enough to get yourself having fun (and a way cheaper entry point).
It’s okay, you’re not alone. I promise you can do this. The only way to fail is to give up completely.
I highly recommend reading “Effortless Mastery” by Kenny Werner. Best book on the mental game of music there is. Life changing stuff, no joke. :)
Wishing you all the best ❤️
Best of luck with your deep thinks!!
Surely few better ways to spend your brainwaves than dreaming about new ways to play music 🤓🤙
I used to build things for maximum control and options.
I’ve slowly come to realise that for me, maximum control doesn’t equal maximum fun.
I find that when I focus on what are really my favourite bits or most satisfying ways to interact with the material, I have way more fun. :))
I feel ya. We can’t bring everything / control everything at once… it can be hard to decide what to include and what to automate.
I find “what is going to be the most fun to control / have on stage with me” as nice guiding questions in the process.
Then test, iterate, enjoy, repeat 🤘
Yes! Let’s gooooo. Just removed my catalog last week ✨❤️✨
If Daniel Ek, CEO of Spotify thinks we’re going to sit idly by while he invests hundreds of millions of euros into developing new high tech weapons, he’s got another thing coming.
Music is a technology of peace and will remain so forever. ❤️🔥

free plugin suite… runs real dreamy in Ableton ;)
The people running our music industry are the same people “doubling down” on AI military technology. To build a fair and just music industry, we also must dismantle imperialism in all its forms. Daniel Ek is a warmonger who pays artists poverty wages 🤮
Send me a DM. Even if it’s just you and me that’s better than not, right?
If we create a format like you suggest to amplify the voices of any indie artists boycotting it could really help

Latte foaming with an 808? Audio synced practical effects for a tricked out fishtank? A special aux bus that refills your chosen studio beverage on trigger?
So many possibilities… I wanna know where this goes :)

Sometimes all you need for a nice ambient jam is some magic hour sunshine, your vocal chords, and Ableton Note 🎵🌞🎶

Lovers of long-form ambient, I’ve got something for you ❤️
Released under my ambient moniker, Ambisolace, ‘The Deep Sea’ is a two hour sound journey to the depths of the ocean and back again.
I recommend the continuous mix, available on Bandcamp and SoundCloud

Yeah! I’d classify as “Oldie but really good-ie”
Quneo: Once you see the cartoon Darth vader face you can’t unsee it
But real talk I love the Quneo and Qunexus … the sensitivity on those pads is unreal :))
Ever try using a high resonance EQ band to paint melodies out of overtones in a sound?
(Spoiler: It’s fun)
Welcome to the world of micro-melodic sound design, friends :)

Awesome! Thanks for the info… gonna have to sort that out. My four track is gonna love getting out and about a bit :))
Very cool setup!! Got me thinking about bringing my 4 track out for a field trip… :)
Question: what cable are you using for powering the 414… is it just the appropriate voltage ripcord or something else?
Glad you’re enjoying! :) the software is Ableton Live.
I have to say, it’s an honour to be likened to such a legend of the art world. I love Bob Ross… I think the way he teaches shows great art can be simple, fun, and totally accessible for all. I’m super down with that 🤓

Also, for reference the warp algorithm in Ableton is really one of the best in the game for being able to play your tunes at different speeds without losing too much quality. Pretty much the same as you’d hear (moreover, not hear) if playing things faster or slower in Traktor or on CDJs 👍👍
Once all tracks are warped to the master tempo, you actually have a ton of control. I usually map a knob to control master tempo… the clever part is choosing your transitions right, and picking the right moments to change tempo when you don’t feel it as much (usually not when the beat is slamming)
I can say the Qunexus is an amazing keyboard style controller for its size… the velocity sensitivity on the keys is truly fantastic. Best lightweight/ travel keys I’ve ever tried. 👍
🤘🤓
