Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. It is completely natural behavior for electronic musicians to obsess about oddly specific genres of which the undisputed final boss is - of course - ambient. For three reasons.
One, you can produce ambient on any piece of gear with a reverb, two, there are basically no limits to the size of your setup even if you have no idea what you’re doing and three, when your music sounds like a knot of psychotic toads on horse tranquilizers you can still pretend that it was an artistic decision.
Today we are going to talk about Sonicware Liven Ambient 0. This grooveless groovebox was brought to the market last year and puts you in the fast lane to becoming an ambient weirdo.
