Cosmic ambient in a pop-up void… “Sleeping Through the Apogee”

Hey. Not posted for ages, life is full of this and that and inspiration only strikes occasionally. That also means my production skills probably aren’t where they should be by now!

Had as much fun with the visuals on this as the music; I created my own pop up dark void :smile:

App-wise, I decided some time ago that I already have everything I need and I should master what I’ve got (still working on that) rather than keep buying new apps.

Hope you enjoy, but brace yourself it’s quite long…

  • That's a fun concept you've made. I have to admit I jumped around a little, 17 minutes shouldn't be too long but, well, sign of the times I guess (being impatient I mean).

    I also agree 100% on the "no more apps" politics, I got to remove stuff I think as my creativity is drowning in apps. One should only buy if it's something unique, not another delay, compressor what not.

    Good to hear you anyway, hope more to come...

  • Dont worry, it does meander on for quite a while (but then that’s kinda the point :) ).

    For me, resisting new apps was super difficult for a while but eventually I just tuned out of all the new stuff coming down the pipe. On the downside I am conscious that I’m no longer feeding the devs who built this whole ecosystem, but quite simply I had to get past the creative paralysis my ever expanding library of apps was perpetuating. I’ll buy more apps again at some point no doubt and go through the whole cycle again!

    Appreciate you watching it, will defo try and make more

  • Really excellent music and a neat video.
    Some real subtleties in the first and last sections plus a driving middle section. Well worth a listen 🙏

  • Marking this down as I listen. I'm at the 3-minute mark, where the announcement occurred. So far this reminds me of something that could've easily fit onto BT's "This Binary Universe" album.

    5m30s mark, and now it's starting to pick up a little. So far this is a masterpiece! ❤️

    7-minute mark. Another announcement. And I swear that one lead synth is reminiscent of Blade Runner.

    8m30s mark, a Trance-styled lead? Percussion? I like the lead, but not too keen on the percussion as it moves a bit too fast.

    10m40s second mark...that is a sick bass synth!

    14m15s mark, ah, back to pure bliss. That piano is lovely by the way.


    Now for the banal questions. I'm curious what you used for the DAW/music creation environment? Was it Apematrix? AUM? Cubasis or Logic? Also, how did you make the glitches? Which app(s) to achieve that?

    In fact, which apps were used in the making of this masterpiece if you can recall them? I'm not looking for new apps per se, but rather just curious what was used.

    Thanks so much, appreciate the feedback and happy to talk about the apps…

    • AUM was the hub of operations
    • Bleass granulizer for the glitches with a tiny grain size. I just fed the pad into it (Spacecraft provided the pad). Panflow for continuous stereo panning
    • Other apps used… fac alteza, bleass motion eq, turnado, Synthmaster one (that bass plummet), pure piano, sunrizer, viking (trancey arp), elsa through barkfilter, aufx3:space and aufx3:dub (spoken word samples), a bit of dervoco
    • Midi control assist… LK Matrix, steppolyarp, Rozeta suite

    By the way, I completely agree on the drums - too loud, too messy and they don’t really fit. My one regret - and can’t be fixed when you live record the lot to a single file! Lessons learned

    I love using AUM to create Ambient myself. :)

    • Bleass granulizer for the glitches with a tiny grain size. I just fed the pad into it (Spacecraft provided the pad). Panflow for continuous stereo panning

    Nice! I have those apps and have used Bleass Granulizer in the past. I may need to play more with Granulizer to get that texture I'm looking for. Cheers mate. :) (And Panflow is awesome too. I need to learn to use Spacecraft. I have it, just never got around to using it. 😅 )

    • Other apps used… fac alteza, bleass motion eq, turnado, Synthmaster one (that bass plummet), pure piano, sunrizer, viking (trancey arp), elsa through barkfilter, aufx3:space and aufx3:dub (spoken word samples), a bit of dervoco

    Excellent! Alteza is one of my favorite reverbs on iOS. That and Stratosphere Cloud Reverb.

    • Midi control assist… LK Matrix, steppolyarp, Rozeta suite

    Man, I remember when Rozeta was first released, but it seems to be an "underdog" these days. It still works great! :)

    By the way, I completely agree on the drums - too loud, too messy and they don’t really fit. My one regret - and can’t be fixed when you live record the lot to a single file! Lessons learned

    Fair enough. :) Yeah, when making Ambient, best to keep any drums sparse and/or light in my opinion. If the drums are a bit more prominent in the mix, sparse is the way. If the drums are less sparse, then they should be more back in the mix and given a decent treatment of reverb and EQ. "Reverb on the drums?! Why I'd never!" Use a reverb which has its own filter section so the reverb tail has no low end. ;)

    All in all, this was a great 17-minute piece to listen to. :) Even with the drums in it, lol. I can't wait to hear more like this from you.

  • I enjoyed that!
    Subbed!
    Maybe a different drum kit/machine for the drums, but that’s a minor thing… ?
    Great synth sounds!

    @jwmmakerofmusic Sounds like decent advice B)

    All those apps are great… they might not be the latest but a good few miles on the clock with each means I’ve gotten to know them and their potential pretty well.

    I’ll have to check out some of your own ambient productions, anything spacey/scifi-ish you’d recommend? I plan to make more when I have time!

    Ta very much! Yes clear consensus emerging to ditch the drums :D

    Not anything too recent as I've been more into BoC stuff and 90s TripHop for some reason, although doing modern Tech House for a client. I'll probably make Space Ambient again once the client work is finished. 😅
