Welcome to my AMBIENT music STUDIO TOUR - Gear - Instruments & production workflow
In this video, I give you a tour of my music studio and show you the gear I use to create ambient music. From my mixing console to the toy pianos and synthesizers that inspire my sounds, I cover the diverse instruments and tools that help shape my creative process.
I also take you through my collection of guitars and amplifier setup, as well as some effects pedals that play a key role in adding depth and character to my compositions. Lastly, I walk you through my simple mixing process in Logic Pro X, sharing a few insights on how I approach crafting the mix for my tracks.
Whether you’re a fellow musician, producer, or just curious about my creative space, this video gives you a closer look at the tools and techniques behind my music.

Exploring HARMONIC OSCILLATOR with MUTABLE INSTRUMENT Stages - Eurorack Patch Explained
Переглядів 6502 місяці тому
I've always been captivated by the sound of harmonic oscillators. While the Verbos Harmonic Oscillator is a stunning example, it's a bit out of my price range. Thankfully, I’ve got the Mutable Instruments Stages in my modular setup, paired with the Quiemem firmware. Using modes 5 and 6, Stages can be transformed into a harmonic oscillator, and it performs impressively well. In this video, I’ve ...

So, I’m adding that to my ever-growing to-do list. Thanks again for your feedback!

    How did you reach this level of financial stability in your life to be able to have such an accomplished studio with all this fantastic gear? I assume the standard "American Dream" thing of college, career, etc, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm in my 40s and I feel like I'm stuck in a small shared housing situation with a dead-end job and not enough physical space to make music comfortably. I feel dead inside. Any advice?

    • @alastpicturefromvoyager
      @alastpicturefromvoyager 12 днів тому

      I’m fortunate to have two jobs here in France. I’m a teacher, which is a stable job that gives me some free time, and a freelance graphic designer, which helps me finance my music project. But I have many musician friends who are or have been in a situation like yours. That doesn’t stop them from being very creative, though, because creativity isn’t about gear. I should also mention that I’ve been buying and selling gear for over 25 years, and sometimes certain instruments increase in value. Don’t get discouraged, you’ll find your way

    Well, let's be honest. It's all about the equipment and buying it, setting it up and making UA-cam videos. The so-called "ambient" is an addition - a catchy slogan, but the whole ambient is made by Eventide and Strymon reverb.

    • @alastpicturefromvoyager
      @alastpicturefromvoyager 14 днів тому

      I think I understand what you mean. For me, ambient is a genre I've been exploring for quite some time, and all my previous videos and experiments are connected to it. That's where the concept for this video comes from. And yes, reverbs are the true artists of ambient (along with delays-let's not forget them) ;-)

    • @DoglessEndeavor
      @DoglessEndeavor 8 днів тому

      I like this video, but I agree with @wielkit. To me it feels like most of the recent Ambient trend is just an excuse for some people to focus on consumerism, and a few brands know exactly how to target this. It is super hard to integrate gear cravings into even slightly more intricate music, but it’s easy with Ambient because with the exception of maybe 1% of people making it, it doesn’t require much creativity.

    Thank you so much for this. The visuals and sounds you've created here are mind-blowing. My favorite part about this is the Akai tape recorder. I bet the warmth from that thing is just incredible. I've been stuck using my Moog MG-1 and the same pedals for the past year, but you've inspired me to expand my arsenal for more atmospheric tones. I also appreciate the simplicity of your mixing process, just letting the instruments speak for themselves. Can't thank you enough, seriously.

    • @alastpicturefromvoyager

    • @alastpicturefromvoyager
      @alastpicturefromvoyager 22 дні тому

      Merci pour le soutien et heureux que la présentation de mon studio te plaise. Alors le patchbay c'est du DIY perso. Ce ne sont que des jacks reliés entre eux dans la boite au final. Ces jours-ci j'ai upgradé d'ailleurs en en fabriquant un avec un sélecteur ( instagram.com/p/DDhIujktE7U/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== ) Le Akai soit j'enregistre direct sur bandes puis le transfère les bandes sur l'ordi, soit je ne fais que passer le son au travers ce qui me sert de préampli. Deux jacks dans les entrées stéréos et des RCA dans les sorties au dos, et c'est parti. Mais je m'en sert aussi en Tape Loop pour la création musicale, tu pourras voir ça en fouillant mes autres vidéos. Et oui tu peux effectivement y brancher des SM57.
