Ambient Mix

"Upward" is a post-rock track at heart. However, it is not bound to the genre's tropes: It slowly and gradually crescendos, layer by layer, from an ambient soundscape and electric beats into a full blown almost shoegazy sound with overdriven guitar and drums. This way, it evokes a sense of hope, a new beginning after tough times, hence its name.

Thanks for listening!

This is an ambient / downtempo live composition. Ralph Pambor and Hoving made use of synths, grooveboxes and the electric guitar to come up with what you hear. The whole track was recorded live in one sitting.

This is my first ambient live set. Everything you hear comes from a Novation Circuit, a Teenage Engineering OP-1 and a Korg Monotron Delay.

A few of the tracks are unreleased.

My inspiration for this song was the landscape where it was produced; the Swedish coast. That's where I sat down with a Teenage Engineering OP-1 and a Hokema Kalimba and started recording the waves washing up against the shore. I added a somber but relaxing Kalimba melody and finished the track up with synth lines and beats. The end result is an ambient/downtempo composition produced and recorded entirely without the use of a computer in the Scandinavian outdoors.

An attempt in granular synthesis and ....jazz? Yeah no, it's still ambient music.

I hope you enjoy it at least a bit and if you do, feel free to share far and wide! :)

Recorded live using a Bastl Microgranny 2.5, a Novation Circuit, a Teenage Engineering OP-1, a Korg Monotron Delay and Meng Qi's Little Karp.

This track was produced and recorded in its entirety with a Teenage Engineering OP-1 on a train ride from Stuttgart to Berlin.

My second track is trying to explore the downtempo side of ambient music. It was produced and recorded entirely on Teenage Engineering's OP-1.

Thanks for listening and feel free to express your feelings about the track by liking, sharing and critiquing.
