A live, semi-improvised track performed entirely on hardware.
Dreadbox was kind enough to send along the Nymphes a little early to me, and I couldn't have been more excited. While I have the Abyss, I've been hoping for a new Dreadbox polysynth that's more widely available for a long time.
And the Nymphes doesn't disappoint. It's unbelievably small but with a super sturdy build and great fader throw lengths. It has a lot of secondary functions but it's dead easy to navigate, and still feels more hands-on than the Dreadbox Typhon (another great small synth). And most importantly of all, it has a beautiful sound with tons of character and some great particular nooks and crannies in its timbres. A warm analog polysynth the size of a paperback book? I love it.
I've also got lots to say on the Tasty Chips GR-1, but I'm planning to do a video with it in the near future, so more then. Suffice it to say for now that I love it and that it's a perfect companion for ambient work.
Dreadbox Nymphes through Strymon NightSky - Main synth
Tasty Chips GR-1 through Empress Reverb - Ambient granular goodness
Arturia Keystep - MIDI controller for the Nymphes

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.
What an absolutely beautiful comment. 😊
holy...this nymphes looks so simple, but sounds unbelievable warm and tight...maybe it's its simplicity that makes it unique.
I have lost track of how many times I listened to this.
y yo
i was well, but now I feel excellent. Beautiful.
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.
oh man, that outro... so good
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.
If this was in a bad movie, it would make it a good movie. Suuuuch a vibe
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!
I saw this video and I fell in love. The Nymphes is coming home. Thanks for the beautiful music 🙏🏻😊
that was wonderful. you made my night. thank you
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.
I'm not sure which I like more nymphes or take 5. You manage to make the sound absolutely fantastic.
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.
Amazing sounds! I'm really thinking about getting the nymphes.
Really nice. Thanks.
Bruh amazing second time listening I think this will be a song I listen to regularly throughout my life
Gorgeous
This does so so well!!! Thx Jay 🙏🏻🌈🕊✨🌿🌸🦄
Jay this is probably the best jam I've ever seen on TH-cam, just two synths but such an enormous sound. Goosebumps.
amazing as always
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
This is beautiful!
Beautiful, the GR-1 really adds something special to the atmosphere.
beautiful!
This sounds so beautiful. Thank you.
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 you are definitely the best synth composer in the solar system, possibly the milky way all of your stuff is top notch...
Beautiful sounds! Thank you.

Outstanding 👌🏻
Lovely! ✨
Beautiful sounds. Love it
Sounds incredible
Fantastic work, Jay!
Amazing work friend😊
Beautiful performance, thank you.
Great music, thank you for this moment.
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.
Beautiful!!

Happy holidays to you!
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. 😍
tnx man
xx months later, still one of the most moving works
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!
Oh well, i was looking for an affordable Abyss ! 🙃 Thanks for sharing your process of work, this melancholic jam is really beautiful !
gorgeous as always. I actually just paired my Nymphes with Night Sky. Such a perfect combo
Dude! Your music it’s awesome 👏 make more every weekend 🔥
Nightsky is amazing here.
Great !
Love it, got a new sub mate
Merry christmas!
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you!
Sick timbres
Little, but awesome sounding setup! GR-1 and Nymphes are very good together, create such a gorgeous atmosphere with reverb!
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.
SUPER !!!
Amazing how good this sounds. It combines simplicity and complexity.
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
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!
NICE
