Ceto [Ambient]

Hello Peeps
 
Been a while... I thought I'd give you a rest from having to listen to my ambient noodlings
 
But I'm back... Bigger and stronger (I've put on 14 pounds and I've not had a wash for a month).
 
Only if you get time please check out my latest "ambient" piece called Ceto:-
 
https://soundcloud.com/synkrotron/ceto
 
No real structure to this (no surprise there heh!).
 
Just two simple pad tracks with lots of delay (3) and reverb (2) plus Adaptiverb, Guitar Rig and MMultiBandGranular, all as buss effects.
 
I hope you like it.
 
cheers
 
andy

    Just the thing to sit back, chill out and drift gently away.

    Hi Andy, I wondered where you had vanished off to. Lovely piece this one nicely drifting along, quite meditative actually. It has that Sci-Fi movie feel when a star rises above a planets surface in a far off galaxy.

    Excellent. Seems a little different from what I'm used to hearing from you.
    Very stately sound, lush textures. Couple of places sounded a bit like Vangelis to me, not the instruments but the sequence of notes. MMultiBand Granular? I'll have to check that out.

    I've got a couple more "new" tracks like this, but you're right, they are few and far between lately as I have been spending quite a bit of time exploring Absynth and some of its more "unusable" presets in conjunction with my current "go-to" effects which, invariably come out a bit darker in mood and are more sound effects really.
     
    Vangelis eh! That's always nice to hear, being a fan of his. The sequence of notes are mostly improvised and then tweaked where I hit duff, or undesirable notes. For a six minute piece I probably spent much less time on the note sequence than I would normally.
     
    I often use MMultiBandGranular to create twinkly sort of things. In this instance it provides the higher frequency drone, but it is still driven by the two simple pad tracks. Well worth exploring, in my opinion, and it is a massive effect with lots of automation options.
     
     
    cheers
     
    and thanks again for listening... Much appreciated
