Subharmonicon & Chance


Song also available at Bandcamp

I wanted to give my new acquisition the Moog Subharmonicon a test and after two initial setups/approaches this is what I landed on. A combination with some new stuff in Ableton Live 11.

The chance in the title refers to the new function in the midi-editor that you can put a % value on midi notes. So this is what is happening with the drums that have been pre-programmed. They have somewhere between 90% and 35% to trigger. All drum samples comes from Lullatone’s new sample set ”Domestic Drums”: https://lullatonesamplesets.bandcamp.com/album/domestic-drums-sample-set-ableton-and-kontakt-instruments-in-zip

Another chance element is using the new Max for Live device ”Tree Tone” that comes in the ”Inspired by Nature” pack of devices: https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/inspired-nature/

I’m using the rain feature and controlling the amount of rain and speed with the Midi Fighter Twister. Which is also controlling the volume of the arp and and a midi stacking of Mopho x4 organ sound (a sound called ”Kitchen Sync” one octave above the notes played on the x4) using the new MPE features in Ableton and the aftertouch function on the Mopho x4.

The voice sample is a reading from Lord Dunsany’s ”51 tales”.

Morning Machines



Today my new album "Morning Machines" is released digitally by Sound Meditation.

It is a very ambient album themed around primordial proto-machines creating the morning of the cosmos. A sort of imagined/alternative creation story if you will. Where something small and not even sentient is building something monumental.

Above is from my Bandcamp and below you can find the Spotify streaming. I hope you enjoy!


AEMC - One Minute Compositions


I did a contribution for the AEMC latest "One Minute Compositions" release. It is called "Cobalt Streak" and is a mellow and bit of a sad tune with the imagiros's piano as a foundation.

These sorts of videos do take some time to make but fun in another way for sure!
