Ambient noodling with OddSonic long delay plugin

exonerate · 21 Jul 2007

hmm.... there seems to be something wrong with the recordings, i'm getting lots of long pauses and plenty of clicks, with the occasional little pad/string sound.

can you check them, because i'm pretty sure they shouldn't sound like that, unless there something wrong at my end?

cheers 😉

re: streaming mp3 , no need for an m3u you can normally just drag the url onto an app which streams MP3. I my case I drag the url onto winamp and it streams

These are basically 'live' solo performances in that there were captured as .WAV output from energyXT with no sequencing. Just me noodling with VST controls and a MIDI keyboard and OddSonic doing all the layering.

I present them here warts and all... I haven't even tried to clean them up. I burned them on to a CD and I find myself listening to them with some regularity... so I thought I'd see what people here might think.

Sorry about the unstreamed MP3s... apparently my ISP doesn't support the .m3u mime type for it's residential customers. amb1.mp3 2.5 MB amb2.mp3 4.8 MB amb4.mp3 5 MB amb5.mp3 6.5 MB

thanks oddson - these are really lovely - On first listening I especially like amb1 - love the clarity of the lines. gregh

reminds me of some old Fripp/Eno records, nice!

cheers for the tip! , i've just done that in VLC and now it works 🙂 , before when downloading the track was all jumpy and clicky.

anyway great stuff oddson, really relaxing i like the first one very defined and gets quite haunting after a bit 😉

they all sound very good though, almost classical.

cheers 😉

really nice stuff! I did some similar stuff a long time ago with my first keyboard, it was a yamaha with loop record function. But it had an annoying, unmutable click so those numerous sessions from 1995 are ruined but that ugly, repeating note.. now we have ODDSONIC!!!! 🙂

Recently did a darker, more dissonant, piece I quite like using the same setup (with a bit of tap-point jumping to give the 'jitter' results of the opening).

http://oddsonic.com/odd8.mp3 - working title is 'Oxidized Metal' for the distorted 'guitar' sound and for the resemblance to Fripp & Eno's "An Index of Metals".

I have a thread on KVR's music cafe - fair number of hits but few comments. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=287046

Top Stuff. 'Oxidised Metal' caught my ear most at first coz I love dissonance and 'beating' sounds, but the others have really grown on me - I've seen a few people mixing looping technology with more classical sounds and I'm really getting into it. Getting into playing seriously with my own looping tools lately, but somehow always end up going down the beat led kind of route (or I just end up with a dissonant mush after the first few loops are playing!) - so you've really sparked some ideas for me with these tracks. It takes some real skill to keep the kind of clarity and musicalilty that you've got here.

Nice!

Interesting harmonies and oddness :P

I would love to hear this with a real string orchestra.

Its really nice to hear what others are doing. I liked these, all of them. I would like to hear more music from forum members.

More noodling... this time using my Karplus Plus synth and the Oddsonic delay. A very different effect than the pad-strings and OD guitar sounds of the others.
