Sunday Ambient #40

Happy Sunday! Here we are at ambient jam number 40. Wow, I can’t believe it! I might just make it for a full year of weekly recordings. No pressure on myself. I’ll keep doing the recordings as long as it brings joy and I have the time. Thanks to those of who have stuck around so far and offered encouragement. We made it through a brutal ice storm this week. The Austin area looks like a war zone with all the tree limbs down. A lot of people have been without power for over 3 days now. Fortunately, our power held up. After a coating of up to 2 inches of ice just 3 days ago, the sun is shining today and the weather is mildly warm - just beautiful. I’ll be enjoying it while it is here, remembering to never take it for granted.

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 for normalization and creating a shareable audio file. * Moog Grandmother * Moog Subharmonicon * Moog Mother 32 * Moog DFAM * Eurorack * Doepfer A-145-4 LFO * Doepfer A-160-2 Clock Divider * Doepfer A-151 Seq Switch * Doepfer A-132 VCA * Zlob Chaos * Zlob Entropy * Super Synthesis EG Envelope * Eowave Zone B.F.
