Im gonna be honest. I revisit this sometimes. You're a true inspiration. Im moving together with my girl over these weeks because shes pregnant with our child. I seek for grand beauty in life and these things are amongst it. I charge up on your music, and envision the things to come, looking forward more and more. Ive dropped a chaotic lifestyle including multiple drug addictions. And now life seems to evolve for me going the right direction. And listening to this little piece just before i go to bed with the things in mind, is more powerful than any physical or mental stimuli. Ive learnt to face the music so to speak. I just wanted to share it with you as a message of good energy and love. And I really hope you will make more in this alleyway because it is so damn beautiful the half could be enough, yet you exceed and amaze. Thank you very much, and I Hope youre doing well 😎😊👍
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It means the world to hear that I can positively contribute to that "right direction" you mention. I'm sure there will be more like this coming. All the best.
Ooooooh geez ! I love the GR-1. Seems like something you could use to make ultra lush sounds from literally anything . Someday when I mortgage my organs to the black market ......... such a gorgeous sounding machine .
This is beautiful. I enjoyed every second of this, great work! I'm sure they are all excellent synths/effects, but it takes someone with both great taste and a lot of knowledge to make something like this.
Beautiful Jay, once again, my gratitude for your gift to us all. Times have been tough on this little rock in the galaxy, what you do makes a huge difference to us.
Gosh yes those Strymon pedals are brilliant aren't they. Thank you for the beautiful music it was lovely. Hope you're well. But as I'm no longer working because I'm not well. I can't afford expensive pedals anymore full stops on one of those guys that have have a couple of Zoom Ms-Cdr's. And my old verbzilla. Which I think still works fine. Some of this mini Alesis, and boss rack effects. In the 1980s and early 1990s. My country only got 3% of the world's total musical output to listen too. I'm so grateful for websites like TH-cam and SoundCloud. But some of the best music is made by unsigned artist. I don't like having music sold at me, if you know what I mean. I mean obviously I would buy someone's work. That's respect. I like to find the hidden gems like this. Aren't Dreadbox great! Lol. And on q Sonicstate reviewing of. Nymhpes, he said that everyone seems to be moving to Berlin, because he said Dreadbox might be. So I said to Nick when are you going? Lol. And when I finally have the courage. I'll start uploading some of my music
amongst the best ambient ive ever heard literally youre talented as fuck as for the nymphes its pretty baffling that its at that price point, good job dreadbox it sounds incredible
Opening lines are reminiscent of For Now I Am Winter by Olafur Arnalds - and that makes me happy cause I love that and I THINK he used his juno 60 (or maybe his polysix but I don't profess to know the sound signature of these intimately). Anyway long story short - GORGEOUS as usual Jay. Nightsky & Nymphes... Hmm space on my controller keyboard case...
My favorite video with this synth so far. Love the cinematic feel. I've heard this synth compared to a Juno ad nauseum, but it definitely has its own character to my ears.
Man, I just keep coming back to this video, it’s heavenly. I love my GR-1, use it mostly for longform drone pieces, but I love the way you’ve paired it with the Nymphes to give this piece so much more movement & depth with the samples you’ve chosen. Awesome.
After ALL THIS TIME, Jay, THIS VIDEO remains the GOLD STANDARD where NUMPHES is concerned! There is NOT another on TH-cam that even comes close. Using your Instructions (a couple of messages down) IF I can master this patch, my mindset then would be BE: I would KEEP Nymphs for this Patch alone. I keep thinking I'm gonna sell it, cuz 'when I was a child, I had a fever,' and the Doc says, "THERE'S ONLY ONE CURE, SON....a NOVATION SUMMIT." That's my burden (w. m's b.). So, I was gonna let Typhon and Nymphes turn to cash, to assist in the Summit payout. As my dad loved to say, "Son...poor folks have poor ways." Regrettably, I am a pig and a greedy bastrad. Anyway...The Dreadbox Duo are still here, audtioning as would be Keepers. The Summit obsession can be hard to understand until you find out that it contains the AIR I need , for breathing. Thankfully, you are a man of means and thank the Lord for that! My suggestion then, would that you procure the LATEST MERIS MERCURY pedal--you'll find kit: it's a couple hundred MORE and maybe it's BLACK. Mainly, it's a BIG FAT UPDATE and NEW EXPANDED STUFF from the Ole Mercury. 7 (wasn't the number "7"... I think that's right). Anyway, I expect you're gonna find it, like better than pure Heroin. Thanks . Mark
Absolutely brilliant portable Compact set up. Absolutely love dreadbox. Looking at the Nymphes. But currently have the Typhon. Would be so great to scale down more. Thank you for sharing your art it was very enjoyable. Obviously not just for ambient. These inspire me to score science fiction, ot horror films. I guess not having a screen. And only reverb. Helps keep the price down. 🙏💜🐈
Holy crap dude! I love this! Is it ok if I use some of your ambient synth songs as background music in a video/film project I'm working on? I feel like this would fit perfectly with the general theme and feel that I would be going for. I would of course make sure to credit you for it. It would likely end up being a multi-part ARG series that I would post on a new channel. I wouldn't expect to make any money off of it at least in the beginning since I don't know how well they would perform. As I make progress I could go into more detail about what I'm working on and I could send you some clips that I put together so you could see how I end up implementing it if I can get it to turn out good. Thanks for reading, Great stuff!
This made me get the night sky. So good on synths and guitar. Tried frippertronics with an El capistan on sos mode. As the loop degrades All through the night sky. Epic. Nymphes is last synth for a while. It’s a winner. Thx Jay. Ur Super talented
Man the nymphes sounds epic! And it looks so tiny next to the nightsky lol. Thanks for the early christmas present, this was lovely🙌🏻 happy holidays bro!
Gorgeous performance mate. I'm 100% sold on the sound of the nymphes but less so on the form factor - as a man of impecable synth taste how are you getting on with it from a tactile perspective?
I had serious reservations about form factor before I tried it. In practice, I've found it to be a total non-issue, and find it really easy and intuitive to navigate. I never really use presets, so they've done something right in their UI overall. The only time I've felt I wanted more sliders was wanting to edit both envelopes while quickly alternating. It's a great setup-and sounds gorgeous-for those of us who like to keep it small!
Subscribed! Love all the ambient stuff. I noticed you've used a couple different keystep models and was wondering, is the keybed on the mini keystep the same as the one on the keystep pro (just less of them obviously)?

What an absolutely beautiful comment. 😊
If I had to give one word to this music, it would be "sensations"...
I have lost track of how many times I listened to this.
y yo
This song is perfection.
holy...this nymphes looks so simple, but sounds unbelievable warm and tight...maybe it's its simplicity that makes it unique.
I know it’s one year since that you posted this. But i still want to appreciate you… always hits me like first time….
I think it's amazing that they could fit a great sounding, 6 note polysynth in a package this small. Certainly great for desktop jams!
Ooooooh geez ! I love the GR-1. Seems like something you could use to make ultra lush sounds from literally anything . Someday when I mortgage my organs to the black market ......... such a gorgeous sounding machine .
Im slowly, but surely , falling in love with that GR-1- it sneaks up on you - like a good Jay Hosking tune ,-
Not the same thing, but a poor-man's version might be the Borderlands iOS app.
This is beautiful. I enjoyed every second of this, great work! I'm sure they are all excellent synths/effects, but it takes someone with both great taste and a lot of knowledge to make something like this.
Powerful, crunchy, beauty.
Man, this is what I feel . This music tells my life. I'm at the bottom of my life, there is no room to back off anymore.
listened to this on a rainy ocean morning, went so well with the vibe! thank you!
Thanks!
Holy smokes! Thanks so much!
I saw this video and I fell in love. The Nymphes is coming home. Thanks for the beautiful music 🙏🏻😊
This is a nice sonic journey Jay. Thank You.
i was well, but now I feel excellent. Beautiful.
This is beautiful!
Dude you are definitely the best synth composer in the solar system, possibly the milky way all of your stuff is top notch...
If this was in a bad movie, it would make it a good movie. Suuuuch a vibe
Amazing how good this sounds. It combines simplicity and complexity.
Beautiful Jay, once again, my gratitude for your gift to us all. Times have been tough on this little rock in the galaxy, what you do makes a huge difference to us.
Bruh amazing second time listening I think this will be a song I listen to regularly throughout my life
that was wonderful. you made my night. thank you
oh man, that outro... so good
had a rough time. your tune helped me a lot. thanks for that
I really appreciate hearing it. Here's hoping that things are looking a little better. All the best.
Dude …. That was dope … you’re cool and … this did find me well …. I needed some sonic inspiration today …. Awesome
I listen to this track, on average, about 3 times per day. I suppose I will until the day comes when my Nymphes arrives in the mail.
ouaouzers dude amazing vid thank you
Amazing work friend😊
Jay this is probably the best jam I've ever seen on TH-cam, just two synths but such an enormous sound. Goosebumps.
This is great. Love the build and the mood. This is also the first time I've really loved what I've heard come out of the Nymphes. 😍
Gosh yes those Strymon pedals are brilliant aren't they. Thank you for the beautiful music it was lovely. Hope you're well. But as I'm no longer working because I'm not well.

Amazing sounds! I'm really thinking about getting the nymphes.
Beautiful. I think you made up my mind - Nymphes and a Typhon vs just a Novation Peak.
Man, I posted this early on and then got to the crescendo... Seriously made a little tear well up in my eyes. Absolutely gorgeous. Amazing work.
So good!
Beautiful, the GR-1 really adds something special to the atmosphere.
I'm not sure which I like more nymphes or take 5. You manage to make the sound absolutely fantastic.
xx months later, still one of the most moving works
Those chords. So very nice. Ugg. I really need to learn my way around a keyboard.
Anyway you can reply and let me know which chords these are?? Please!!!!! 🙏
This does so so well!!! Thx Jay 🙏🏻🌈🕊✨🌿🌸🦄
HAUNTING..., very somber... and without resolution on last note. KOOL. THANKS!
amongst the best ambient ive ever heard literally
youre talented as fuck
as for the nymphes its pretty baffling that its at that price point, good job dreadbox it sounds incredible
What an absolutely incredible track... Blows me away every time when those warm waves come in. Thank you for sharing this art with us!
Gorgeous

Nightsky & Nymphes... Hmm space on my controller keyboard case...

Splendid

An only mono polysynth with reverb? Interesting. Beautiful ascending patch
Nightsky is amazing here.
Very cool man. Very cool.
Really nice. Thanks.
gorgeous as always. I actually just paired my Nymphes with Night Sky. Such a perfect combo

great !!!!
Beautiful , refreshing involving from begging to the end. Love it!
Thank you for sharing.
Merry christmas!
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you!
This is delicious
coming back to this piece after almost a year and I cannot describe how incredibly beautiful this one still is, I love it so much!
Perfect !!
Supernice!
Love it, got a new sub mate
tnx man

This is pure beauty dude!
im pretty jealous of your gr-1 that thing looks incredible
Nice setup (Loving all those devices) and wonderful performance. ty
Glad to see your channel growing, Jay.
Very nice!
I’ve listened to this 5 times in a row now. I love this.
Another truly gorgeous piece Jay!
Gritty, subtle, epic sounding demo of this synth. Congrats.
Wonderful. I feel physically relaxed now.
This made me get the night sky. So good on synths and guitar. Tried frippertronics with an El capistan on sos mode. As the loop degrades All through the night sky. Epic. Nymphes is last synth for a while. It’s a winner. Thx Jay. Ur Super talented
I bought the nymphes as well. It’s a winning combo
Beautiful music.
Thanks for sharing.
Great performance, Jay. And nice demo of the Nymphes's capabilities. Cognitive neuroscientists know no-brainers better than anyone when they see them.
This made me chuckle!
Great !
That’s a lovely gear collection! Great sound & composition.
beatiful, Id wish the nymphes had a stereo reverb, woulb be a instant buy then..
It's a mono output! Add your choice of chorus pedal and reverb/delay and it's a true beauty. (The built in reverb is pretty disappointing)
Lushfully gloriously lovely.
Man the nymphes sounds epic! And it looks so tiny next to the nightsky lol. Thanks for the early christmas present, this was lovely🙌🏻
happy holidays bro!
Thanks Jay, as usual. And merry x-mas
Merry Christmas to you too, and thanks!
I have many months to listen something so good!!amazing!
Sick timbres
Little, but awesome sounding setup! GR-1 and Nymphes are very good together, create such a gorgeous atmosphere with reverb!
BRAVO ! EMINENT ! Hoskingianna in the highest🔥😘
Excellent stuff! I particularly love the atmospheric background sounds...
Gorgeous performance mate. I'm 100% sold on the sound of the nymphes but less so on the form factor - as a man of impecable synth taste how are you getting on with it from a tactile perspective?

Beautiful sounds. Love it
Beautiful!!

Merry Christmas Jay, thanks for all those amazing posts.
Merry Christmas to you, too! All the best.
Subscribed! Love all the ambient stuff.
I noticed you've used a couple different keystep models and was wondering, is the keybed on the mini keystep the same as the one on the keystep pro (just less of them obviously)?
Had to get my GR1 from Germany and pay a huge amount in import duty. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!! Great demo by the way!
Well shit. This was niceeeee. Im not usually going for the ambient stuff, either.
Oh well, i was looking for an affordable Abyss ! 🙃 Thanks for sharing your process of work, this melancholic jam is really beautiful !
its very sweet and atmospheric! Bravo!
It sounds so mesmerizing!
Really beautiful combination of sounds. Well played. 👏👍🙏
