type: dark ambient


this track is the output of my first serious project using the komplete "absynth" synthesizer, I recorded four different synthesizer parts, and then silenced different sections of each track at different points, which sometimes would leave just one or two synths playing - at other times, all four are present, but the unique ambient atmosphere that these four blended and mixed sounds make, I feel is remarkable.

absynth is another fantastic synth from native instruments, and like all the others I've tried, I know I will be coming back for more, for many, many years, of those fantastic ambient pads and beautifully layered ambient sounds. I can't get enough of sounds like these...

I don't often do bespoke multi-track synthesizer music (except, of course, on the ipad - in nanostudio) so it was wonderful to have the luxury of any number of audio tracks, and to be able to take time to find four truly unique and wonderful patches (which is not difficult with absynth!).

Then, I mixed them together to create the storm-swept dark ambient vistas of "wanders down to the sea". I was attracted to absynth immediately from the outset of komplete, because it was clear that it was designed with atmosphere and ambient in mind, and also, because it's a powerful instrument, resulting in a powerful track - what more could I possibly ask for? transformational beauty.
