Ambient Textures

A processed paper roll music box with textured synth pads, granular fx fragments and featuring a couple of sounds from OP1

ByJohn Rushton

The story

A hand cranked, noisy paper roll music box recorded into Logic before being re recorded to cassette using an old, dusty cassette recorder. The tape signal was then recorded back into Logic and further processed. I then created a noisy synth pad on the OP-1 and recorded this to the tape at a slower speed and fed the music box recordings through granular fx to create a subtle fragments layer to blend with the original sound. Each layer volume is controlled by the 4 faders. Also includes ADSR, Rev, Delay, Haze (LP filter) and Warp & Crunch (Lofi)

The layers are:-

  • Very nice texture, great for making a relaxing climate in music

    This instrument has a very pleasant flavour. It's not completely uniform but diverse which makes it even more interesting in sound. Thanks for uploading. Cheers
