Have set up my synths in my indoor studio as I prepare for my gig at Jam Cafe in Chichester on Friday 15th November. I managed to get a short version in of my tune 'In The Grove', suitable for this weekend's Hardware Jams challenge :)

First Flight - a half hour synthesizer jam on top of a WWII pill box hidden deep in Graffham woods
Переглядів 73821 день тому
On what turned out to be the last day of summer, I headed deep into Graffham Woods for an ambient session with my mate so that he could have his first practice at filming from a drone. An absolutely beautiful afternoon was spent among the pines, and much experience was gained :) I look incredibly serious at points and only realised after listening back that I had punched a sequence into my SH10...
Shades of Autumn - An ambient guitar and synth video collaboration with Perry Frank from Sardinia
Переглядів 467Місяць тому
Perry Frank was a huge inspiration to me when I was starting this channel, with his lush ambient drones and evocative guitar textures set against the natural beauty of the Sardinian landscape. We have organised a little show in Chichester next month (15th November at Jam Cafe) and have created this collab video for promotion. Perry Frank created his stunning video first and sent it over to me t...
King Canute - 'nearly lost my synths to the sea' ambient mix of synths, birds, sea & traffic sounds
Переглядів 189Місяць тому
This is two separate jams made on the same day. The first was next to the sea wall in Apuldram, on the other side of the harbour from where King Canute failed to hold back the tide at Bosham. The tide was coming in and I only just managed to pack everything up and climb up the wall without getting wet. I then went on to Brandy Hole Copse to record another jam in the same key. I've mixed the two...

Haven't had the chance to make a HWJ Weekend Challenge jam for a while but with the end of summer and the return of the rain, I remained indoors for my first jam using the Behringer Edge. Not sure if the little pink synth is going to be staying around for long - I'm considering seeing if I can trade it for a MS-1.

This was one of those sessions where I had no idea if it worked or not until I listened back! All a bit of a rush in the run up to my 50th and wedding!! Very happy that it worked :) Work's been hectic and I've really used this track to de-stress. I hope it can help you too. It was a very windy day and I couldn't use any of my microphone audio so I had a look on my hard drive for some bird song ...
StarSongX (caught in the rain mix) | ambient guitar and synth drone builds into hedge-hop groove
Переглядів 2292 місяці тому
I used a more simple set up here with both guitar and synth going into the looper which was synced to the MC101. This was the first day that the midges were out in force and you can see me getting bitten throughout the session! Then I really wasn't expecting it to start raining, but it did. Fortunately only enough that I could move under the tree that I was filming from and not interrupt the re...

A 45 minute epic multi-tracked recording across two sessions. The first session was recorded in my forest studio up Goodwood, featuring guitar and SH-32. Although it was raining, the canopy was sufficient shelter and the sound of the drops next to the microphone really add to the ambience. The drums are from the looper pedal. The second session was recorded up Racton Ruin, where I laid down the...

I took Pete to my spot at BrandyHole woods for the first time, and we spent a completely uninterrupted early evening as the sun set and the light slowly left the woods. This was the second of our two jams, a longer, darker journey with echoes of forest ghosts. This was my first session with the Korg Volca Keys, and it fitted in perfectly :) Behringer Crave and Korg Volca Keys looped with Boss R...

Following the improvised writing of new tune 'Beltane Bells', I immediately wanted to try it out again but without guitar cos I play enough guitar atm with my band. I didn't have enough time to video any extra footage this time, but it was incredibly rewarding playng a half hour jam surrounded by beautiful bird song as dusk descended :) Korg Microkorg XL Roland MC101 Behringer Crave Boss RC500 ...

I found this video randomly, just a perfect performance. You guys are so talented. Thanks a lot!
Glad you did :)
simply gorgeous ✨❤✨ I really love the bell tones and hypnotic melody. I could float away on this jam. Awesome work! ✨💯💫✨
A CHANGE OF LOCATION? INTERESTING.WELL DONE😀
Liking this very much. Great arrangement ideas and another gorgeous epic chord progression which you do so well.
Very beautiful stuff ❤
Beautiful smooth jam - love the melodies.
THank you for this sublime journey!

Contemplative, evolving journey @DITW - fantastic jam 👌 love the incoming energy half way through
THIS is beautiful.... really enjoyed it.
Sounds nice. How do you power your equipment in the woods?
AA batteries and USB power banks
wonderfull!!! thks !!!
I was floating peacefully to this track until a wild advertisement randomly happened midway through. Thanks UA-cam. 🤦♂️
I think I can reduce adverts if I monetise but I wanna check first 👍
Great idea for outdoor stuff. I have a big battery and inverter I want to take out to the wilderness someday.
sounds heavy! but yeah, go for it 👍
Wonderful!
Loved every minute
Wow, thank you :)
Perfect atmospheric jam❤ wonderfully shot 🔥 subscribed ✨️ 🙏
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Охуенно! 👍

😀GREAT!!
Amazing setting and sounds! 🙌
Thank you, it's a great place to set up on :)
Hi Keith we thoroughly enjoyed listening to your music and also looking at your latest video. Wonderful Autumn scenery , Mary and Ken
Thank you, hope you're both well and had a nice holiday xx
Great stuff! proof it's not what you have it's how you use it that counts.
Really a great afternoon and outing _ We learned quite a lot... not least preparing the stage! 😉
like your video very much. keep up the good work
I truly think you do an excellent job . Great Sounds + lovely footage that combine each other with the Grace off Ambience. ❤ Superb 💯
Thank you very much 🙏
What an incredible location for your music creation. Great sound, and video editing. Thanks much for sharing!
Exciting 🤩🥰
Super-massive.
This is a superbly realised drone session.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Great stuff!!
Lovely ! ❤ Thanks for this
This is really, REALLY good!! Thank you both.............
Really beautiful textures at the beginning, and Perry has mastered the swell. Brief moments throughout reminded of Tangerine Dream's Phaedra and Eno's Apollo. Very nice, you both should do more together.
I'm sure we will 😊 and you could come to our gig next month ;) .........
@@droneinthewoods Great, that'd be cool. I just checked the description, I've never heard of the Jam Cafe, I think you failed at promoting it, as I totally didn't read it, and didn't realise this was a sign of things to come. Maybe next time put the ad in the title of the video and also first sentence so it's visible at the moment of clicking play.
This is really nice! I love to see/hear music performed outdoors ❤ Thanks for sharing the experience 🎶☮
nice soundscape, the drums are from the sh 32 i supose
Yes indeed, they're nice sounding loops :)
❤
beautiful track and video, congrats on the great collab
This is really something!!!
It was amazing to make this, thanks so much Keith 🙏❤
It was a most enjoyable experience ❤️😎
Wow! Fantastic to see you both working on a collaboration 🤩
Great stuff as usual ❤
🍄
Nice.
I ❤ it that you take your synth"s outside. Epic vibe . 🙏
I can’t thank you enough for the awesome content you create. Your channel has become an important part of my day, it’s such a refreshing contrast to so much of what UA-cam is lately. Seriously, thank you.
Thank you for saying so 🙏 it's a busy time of year for me but I've got a couple of ambient specials I'm getting together to upload :)
Very Nice Session. It`s groovy...🙂
Thanks for sharing your music - I find it has been super helpful to reduce some anxiety feelings i have been having recently. Also, helping me with focus - if doing screen based work for long hours. Much appreciated.
