This video is all about exploring textures in ambient music. Many people think of ambient music as music without rhythm, structure, or texture, often with a lot of reverb to wash everything together. But I like to search for rhythmical, noisy, and textural structures within ambient music. This video is a sonic exploration of that. The textures in this piece are shaped by the Passive Operator from Error Instruments. Their experimental modules are truly inspiring, pushing me to explore new sonic territories. For the bass and the lead melody, I’m using Sena from Vostok Instruments. The rhythmic patterns are played by XPO and Plaits. Rings and STO are providing a counter melody. The pad/wash is created by Beads. The effect modules are my loyal nautical duo Sealegs and Nautilus.
