Happy Sunday, ambient music lovers! Today’s jam is all about noise (some might say all my jams are noise - haha.) I played around with the noise generator on the DFAM, controlled by the wonderful Chaos module. It sounds kind of windy/wavy to me. The Grandmother is playing an arpeggio while the Subharmonicon does what it does - a sort of semi-controlled chaos itself. If you like the main track, I’m tossing out a bonus today. More of the same, with a bit more tonal range.
Headphones on!

Did you know you can listen to my music in your favorite podcast app? I didn’t until recently. Just click the Listen On dropdown menu on the track player and get a RSS link that will deliver fresh music to your podcast app once a week. How cool is that?

The Tools
All my gear is below. Not everything is necessarily used for each recording. I record live to my HS6 recorder. I have a DAW-less setup, although I do use GarageBand only for normalization and creating a shareable audio file.
