THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED | Dark Ambient Exploration: 8 | A Reflective Trip | Wavestate | Minilogue XD

Published 2023-12-22
A dark and sinister journey performed with the Korg Wavestate and the Korg Minilogue XD.
I made another wave sequence on the Wavestate for this performance, and I'll develop it further in the near future. There is a pitch LFO on the sequence which gives the soundscape a nice sense of incoming waves and swells, all metaphorical for thoughts and perceptions that we encounter and experience. "They come in with the waves..."
All Wavestate effects are onboard.

The Minilogue XD lead sound is the same as the one that I used toward the end of the previous video 'Back To The Darkness | Dark Ambient Exploration: 7'. I, The Minilogue's effects are onboard and I vary the amount of Glide between the notes to give a sweeping drone effect.

The Volca Drum and Ventris pedal were not used in this performance. They were still in position from the previous filming of Back To The Darkness | Dark Ambient Exploration: 7.

I hope you find some peace during this journey :-)

I’m continuing to push the growth of my channel, and I'm making dark ambient content which is in its own playlist; and also making mellow ambient content for the more relaxed and lighter journeys, within its own playlist as well.
We may approach other crossroads of musical directional options later along the way, which I can explore at that point… But for now, its in and out of the darkness and the light 😊

🙏🏻 I thank you very much for listening to my music and I'm very grateful for your comments 📣, views 🫵👀 and likes ❤️👍. These all really help me to grow my channel and keep my motivation flowing!

    That was stunning, just listened twice on headphones, now going to find the big speakers and let it rip

    As I navigate through the subdued landscape of shifting realities, I sense an ambient melancholy in the air, a quiet acknowledgment that the times have transformed, leaving behind a mosaic of muted hues and fading echoes that linger in the shadows of change. Well done Rick.

    Wow what a trip! I love these evolutions and the fact that all in all, they are made in a simple way! 🚀

    The sounds you're getting are amazing Ricardo. I really do think you're gonna provide the atmospheric soundtrack to a terrifying movie one day as these have a real intense and suspenseful quality. Congrats again bro, you're smashing it.
  • @AmbientSound7
    Well done! Full of mystery in the unknown universe...

    Another great trip Rick, love the setup as well! Obviously referring to the Star Trek puzzle, toys & cassette tape... ;) Look forward to more, and appreciate the positive messages as well!

    I think I booked the wrong ticket. I was supposed to watch a family film, but I think I accidentally booked to watch a horror movie at the cinema. Great work Rick 👍
