- Experience a 20-minute soothing journey of ambient sound, titled "Celadon" running autonomously on my modular. For the first time, I've left the confines of my home studio, creating this piece surrounded by the verdant greenery of a vibrant indoor jungle. This lush backdrop is the beautiful creation of Repot co-founders, Lamine and Mona, two plant-lovers residing in Hackney Wick.
This is generative music, an intriguing technique where music evolves and unfolds in real-time, based on a set of pre-determined rules and algorithms. It is not explicitly programmed note by note, but grows organically, just like the exquisite surroundings it was created in.
Diving into the patch notes:
Mutable Instruments' Beads is responsible for the space-age sounds you'll hear. Bathed in reverb and triggered by Befaco's Burst, it creates an ethereal sonic backdrop, reminiscent of the mystery and grandeur of the cosmos.
Pamela's New Workout from ALM Busy Circuits acts as the maestro, managing all clock-related tasks and ensuring the harmonious interaction of all elements in the setup.
The bassline is crafted by the 4ms Ensemble, sequenced by Erica Synths' Pico Seq. Together, they form the foundation of the soundscape, providing a deep rhythmic pulse that carries the composition.
Rings from Mutable Instruments, typically known for emulating struck and plucked materials, has a unique job in this piece. It's excited by a Japanese TV broadcast, adding a layer of unexpected chatter and melody, fusing the familiar with the unfamiliar.
The generative melodies emerge from Marbles and Plaits, both from Mutable Instruments, adding further complexity and evolving melodics to the composition. The melodies they generate are as unpredictable and beautiful as the jungle surrounding me.
To bring an additional layer of ambiance, I've run the entire mix through Teenage Engineering's TX-6. This reverb-rich module gives the composition a final coat of sonic varnish, adding depth and expansiveness to the soundscape.
These patch notes provide a glimpse into my creative process for creating this piece of generative ambient music, amidst the peaceful and inspiring setting of an indoor jungle. Enjoy the tranquility of "Celadon," and may it inspire you in your own musical explorations.
such a beauty... gorgeous
Absolutly lovely!
Very lovely
wow! Gorgeous
That bass - so simple, yet gorgeous!
Glad you like it!
Man with the magical touch,
Creating frequencies that mean so much.
Inside your sequences electrified,
Blissful feelings you provide.
With your suitcase of power,
You bring joy by the hour.
A symphony of wavelengths created,
Body and spirit elevated.
Your melodies dance in the air,
Weaving spells beyond compare.
The notes cascade with grace,
Transcending time and space.
Man with the electrified embrace,
You take us to a magical place.
Through your music, we are set free,
In a realm of blissful symphony.
❤️❤️
Underrated vid right here, can't believe your channel doesn't have more subscribers!
Thx, really appreciate. Conscious it’s a bit niche but hopefully it resonates with more and more people!
"Dear Ben, You must have stopped wondering what happened to me a long time ago; I know it has been many years."

*I smiled at the idea of a module being "excited by a Japanese TV broadcast".

this is so beautiful! ton of movement and complexity
Unbelievably beautiful piece, I couldnt stop listening - totally nourishing to me this morning over a cup of bitter lions mane. a mind rinse, a palate cleanser. cant believe you dont have more subs. this is my first listen from you, cant wait to listen to more. the marbles and plaits get me all the time. youtube been sending me all kinds of artists playing with their mutable labs and every time my soul is moved ten flops further into sonic singularity …. Ugh…. to be folded into blissful absolution, ugh…. Anyway….
love the scenery and i need one of those oscilloscope modiules up there, that thing is so damn cute
Thx for the kind words, glad the music’s bringing some positive vibes to your day!
Love This! 💙💙

Cool!
This is a beautiful generative piece of work. I was curious what you’re using to send the recorded audio into Rings? I’m looking to do something similar.
oh ! My god 😍
nice
😍😍
Such a nice sound even on a mobile speaker! How do you avoide harmonic resonant frequencies? They always destort my recordings.
Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?
ouais PIerre
@be_heart_rebel loves the music ...keep it up .
