How I Make Ambient Using Only The Ableton Move
HI! Just wanted to make this video so you could tag a long as I make some ambient music with my Ableton Move. Although there are countless ways to make this kinds of music, I wanted to show you an easy way to go about it :) The sound is straight out of the Move. And isn't processed after the fact.
Hope you all enjoy my little creation!

Favourite Looping Technique in Ableton Live
Переглядів 6 тис.14 днів тому
One technique I really enjoy using when creating music, is to use unsynced loops. This technique dates all the way back to 1940s with the work of Pierre Schaeffer, and later Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Who used tape loops to create phase patterns, rhythms, textures, and timbres. The same technique is highly transferable to digital. And works great in Ableton Live. Hope t...

Ableton Move Workflow

    I have sonic beds too. Great sample pack. I've actually sampled all of the instruments racks to use for ambient pieces in my digitakt. Interested to know how you're using them here? Are you using the raw samples? Or the instruments racks? They sound quite layered so I'm assuming the racks (I guess that the beauty of the Move!)

    Simply, I love it... You're a master at working with minimalism! Some people use minimalism as a way to justify or hide their inability to create something "rich"... but then there's you...

    Andre, thank you so much! You have a very warm and inspiring channel. I discovered it a week ago and I come back often. And each time there is a nice leisurely adaptation of what I have seen from you. There is a feeling of simplicity and ease in creating musical sketches. You are very precise in giving the amount of information needed to start the process. And it is very valuable that you share your experience. Rediscovered Inspired by Nature this week. I've spent a couple of evenings trying to understand the diversity of this package. And tonight I decided to take some time and follow you through this simple script. And yes, I did get lost in the process ;) PS I have a question - why don't you use Push if you have such a warm attitude to Ableton Live? Yes, I see Move. But it's a bit of a misnomer. Was looking at it myself last fall. But I decided to get myself a Push 2. And now it's changing the way I approach music sketching.

    I like doing this. I do a similar thing with subtle percussion parts. Another thing I really like doing in combination with this is adding multiple variations of the loop along with Ableton's random options to trigger a random variation once each loop ends.

    Man... thanks so much for sharing your techniques... I couldn't agree more with this kind of approach. Letting the loops flow feels so much more alive, like playing without being tied to rigid sequencing... I used to have a bit of a 'thing' against super rigid sequencers and machines for the same reason-it felt like there was no room to 'feel' or let things breathe. Over time, discovering these kinds of techniques has completely changed that, and honestly, I enjoy it so much more now. 🙌
