046 / Far-off Worlds / Moog Matriarch / Ambient Drone / Generative Soundscape

A long-play drone with some subtle and interesting frequency modulation and events. Patch notes below. Enjoy! :) I HEARD THE WINDS ON FAR-OFF WORLDS ... #Moog #Matriarch #Meris #Mercury7 #Strymon #Volante #Dark #Ambient #soundscape #drone INSTRUMENTS: Moog Matriarch Strymon Volante Meris Mercury 7 NOTES: There's a tangle of patch cables in there, although a bunch of them are dark blue and black so they're hard to see in the video. One notable thing here is the frequency modulation of oscillator 2 is coming from envelope 2, which is being randomly triggered by the sample and hold. This creates the occasional metallic artifact that rises above the undulating winds. A high pass filter is being slowly swept by an lfo, and a low pass filter is being modulated by a looping envelope to shape the underlying drone. Low C and a G notes are held in drone mode. Everything is going through the Volante and Mercury 7. RECORDING: Everything is recorded direct, with no further processing other than normalization.
