Happy Sunday, ambient music lovers! Today’s jam is all about noise (some might say all my jams are noise - haha.) I played around with the noise generator on the DFAM, controlled by the wonderful Chaos module. It sounds kind of windy/wavy to me. The Grandmother is playing an arpeggio while the Subharmonicon does what it does - a sort of semi-controlled chaos itself. If you like the main track, I’m tossing out a bonus today. More of the same, with a bit more tonal range.

Headphones on!
