Embrace of nothing | Sequential Prophet 10, Prophet 12, Nord Drum 2, and Toraiz Squid downtempo @MIDERA

I finally scanned in over 7700 photos of my parents and their lives. It was so nice to see them again, happy, exploring. Somewhere in there it all changed, but they still looked and seemed happy. So many times I'd see a photo and just stare at it for a few minutes, as though I'd been hit by something. Like seeing them arrive at their first motel on their honeymoon. Or seeing photos from the 70s and then the 00s when they went to the same cabin. It was clearly a world that just hung so close to me, but I never saw it. By the time I could get to know them in this capacity - they were both gone.

Now that I have my studio back - I can finally start writing music again. I pulled out the Cirklon. As you can see, I didn't use the Cirklon here. My goodness that thing just antagonizes me at every turn. I know I need to give it more time, but after two days using it, I put it away and within an hour, I had something I was enjoying making and playing.

$Turning my Rhodes Piano into an ambient pad using a Fractal Audio FM3 I wanted to try something different. I put a filter in front of most other effects on the Fractal Audio FM3 (you use blocks and can place them in any order in your list of FX). I used an LP filter, with an input follower, so that as the sound comes in, theres a slow attack for the sound to come in and a slow release for the sound. In this way, I ended up making the Rhodes sound like a synthesizer pad. Maybe not something Id do all the time, but I did like how it came out. At the same time - I could play on top of it once the sound was in to give me two sort of sounds (1 pad and 1 electric piano). Let me know what you think. #rhodespiano #fractalaudiofm3$
