I’m exited to share “wetlands” a new album of downtempo and ambient music. It’s on Bandcamp!

Been noodling with this project for weeks. After taking a break from it to focus on learning the Make Noise NUSS modules, I’m testing some of the patch ideas I learned to sprinkle it onto this existing project. Loving the interaction between Zadar and MultiWave and Polimaths. #makenoisenuss #squarphapax #polimaths #multiwaveoscillator.

Some gentle ambient. Composed using a mix of fixed notes along with controlled randomness, and semi-generative techniques. So no two play-through are identical, but neither do they diverge too far.

I noticed a very familiar word in this book I’m reading. The book, “Proto:
How One Ancient Language Went Global” is about the origin of the Proto-Indo-European language, who spoke the ancestral language, and how it spread so widely. I imagine you already know possible meanings of the word, but I thought it might interest you. https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/proto-9781639732586/

A bit of a quiet ambient track that started last weekend as a drone experiment on the modular and then expanded out to some other synths and processors. Still a work in progress…

This one started out smoothly and initially came together quickly. But then I hit a wall. I had developed a few sections, but they didn’t fit together well. And I couldn’t find a “lead” sound to tie it together. I kept trying and trying. At this time, I had put my old Korg Minilogue up for sale because I hadn’t used it for years. As I prepped to sell, I was testing it and suddenly hit upon the “missing” sound in this track! Needless to say I did not sell the Minilogue.
