Sunday Ambient #26

Happy Sunday! Wow, tomorrow is Halloween. That sure came up fast! I’d thought a while back about coming up with something spooky sounding, but I’ve been too busy at work and not getting as much noodling time on the synths as I’d like. Anyway, here’s a little jam between the Grandmother, Mother 32, and DFAM. The Subharmonicon gets the day off. Hmm…I could use some days off myself. Holidays are approaching - can’t wait! Headphones on…enjoy.

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 creating a shareable audio file. * Moog Grandmother * Moog Subharmonicon * Moog Mother 32 * Moog DFAM * Eurorack * Doepfer A145-4 LFO * Doepfer A160-2 Clock Divider * Doepfer A-151 Seq Switch * Zlob Chaos * Tiptop Audio MISO * Zoom MS-70CDR Effects Pedals * Mackie Mix8 mixer * Zoom HS6 recorder * GarageBand (grudgingly) This is a public episode.
