Приєднався 24 тра 2020
I make music spanning across an array of genres, including ambient, downtempo idm, experimental, lofi, electronic and some different spaces in between. I like playing a variety of instruments, but I mainly use the Elektron Model:Cycles and Digitakt, the MicroKorg, and guitar.
The music I create can evoke a wide spectrum of feeling - whether it's dark, melancholy, uplifting, bright, or from some other place that can be hard to describe. I like to incorporate a sense of escapism and adventure in many of my songs. Journeying into a dream like soundscape through rich, colorful lands of a sonic nature is an experience I enjoy very much, and one which I strive to create in my own music as well.

It's January, and that means it's time for Jamuary. I'll be participating by trying to upload a new jam every day - using either the Elektron Digitakt, the Model:Cycles, the MicroKorg, or I might even do some kind of acoustic jam if I'm feeling up to it. Some songs might be boring, or experimental, or trash, or good, and the mixing + mastering may not be perfect. The goal is to learn and grow through creating quickly, rather than to try and make every song the best version of itself as possible.
I encourage using headphones for the best audio experience, but I try to mix and master my songs well enough so they sound good on all speakers.
Please consider subscribing to be updated when new jams are released.
Thanks for listening!

First ambient jam on the Elektron Digitakt. This sampler/drum machine is quickly turning into my new favorite instrument. It's so incredibly deep, and I've really been digging the sounds and moods I've been able to get out of it so far. Happy New Years, wishing you all the best for 2025. #digitakt #elektron #ambientmusic

Back again with the Elektron Digitakt and a super chill lofi jam. Kept it really simple this time, using mostly stock samples with some sound editing, and a couple synth samples from my MicroKorg and some other source which I don't remember now. Thanks so much for listening, and big thanks to everyone who's commented and subscribed over the last few months. I've passed 100 subscribers now, and ...

Sounds good 👍
@@mann-vom-mond Hey thanks, I appreciate it!
@halcyonrelics 🙂
So good..😮
Hey thanks so much for listening ✌
You just keep on delivering. So freaking good. Your music is super inspiring to me
Hey Markus! Thanks so much dude, that means a lot. I Have a great weekend ✌
@@halcyonrelics You too Mr Halcyon!
I wasn't aware that Digitakt is able to do such nice soundscapes. 👍🏻😮 Is that max envelope decay/release?
Hey! If you're referring to that main repeating synth sound, it was sampled from my MicroKorg. Most of the sound editing for that patch was done in the MK, and in the DT I don't recall needing to do much decay/release, but I did use the filter to bring the high end down a little. Thanks for listening, happy Friday 🤙
Even my content is better
Came for the music, stayed for the show! Excellent work! +subbed 🔥
@@frevrix Hey thanks so much! I’m happy that you enjoyed it ✌️

Oh well this is a joy to hear...need to get my unit of the dust.
@@andreassphereo9468 Thanks so much for checking it out, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
yeah! real IDM) and very harmonious
@@SereJah Thanks dude!
This was exactly what I needed after waking up this morning. Thank you 🌌✌️💖
@@yourcitysleeps Thanks for starting your morning with my song! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏✌️
Really nice❤
@@Lo-Fi-Si Thank you so much 🙏
Complimenti! Davvero bello. Atmosfera sognante 😊
@@andrealocci8098 Grazie mille, sono felice che ti sia piaciuto!
Just when I'm talking myself out of getting one. Your videos get recommended and I instantly want a model:cycles again 😅
Do it 😂
@@markusw9286 Hey thanks! Why are you talking yourself out of getting one?
@@halcyonrelics I don't know to be honest, it's mostly because it doesnt have the sound texture of the music I want to make. But I think I just gotta get one and learn
Yeah that’s totally fair. Although it can make a huge variety of cool sounds, there’s definitely sounds it can’t do. I got it because it gave me old school video game sound vibes, which I love.
Really nice. Like the Cave Story OST :)
@@JohnLunney Hey thanks! I’m not familiar with cave story, I’ll have to check that out 😀
The first half sounds like early Oneohtrix Point Never, the Rifts album
@@JohnLunney Oh cool! I’m not familiar, but curious to check it out.
Nice wibes! Which sounds are you using? I never really liked the chord and tone sounds, must need some tweaking.
@@henrikgilvad240 Thanks! For this one, I believe I used all stock sounds for the default machines assigned to each track. So, basically kept the default machine layout you get when starting a fresh pattern. Then, I tweaked each sound to my liking. I wanted to create something quickly, so i didn’t spend too much time on sound design.
This is really nice! I love how sparse and subdued it is. It's got a kind of suspended feeling which is very cool. Very different from most of the things I've heard others do with this machine.
@@evelyntelevision Hey thank you so much! I like to explore the strange and weird spaces sometimes.
really enjoyed your jam, and the video gave me chill out study girl vibes, haha
@@gonemadsynths Chill out study girl vibes 😂 That’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for checking it out 😀
Cool tune!
@@Chaotrick Hey thanks!
I like it. Are you using the chord machine mostly or the tone machine for most of your sounds?
Thanks! For this song, the tone machine is used on more tracks than the chord machine is. And also, I have at least twice the amount of tone presets that I’ve created in the M:C compared to chord presets. Both machines are great, but holy smokes do I love the tone machine and the huge array of sounds it can create.
Great!!
@@ynkym1982 Thank you!
Very pretty
@@KeithDuncanSound Thanks so much!
you working hard these days🔥nice composed, keep it up!
@@epow6oow Thanks pal! Happy New Year ✌️
You released the video at the day where I had my birthday!
@Supercoolvideobros Oh sweet, Happy Birthday! 🥳
Thanks
Also nice beat!
And music
I like the way it builds up! Nice work!
@@jaskookuenstler Hey thanks a lot!
Really lovely jam. I'm a huge fan of the Digitakt as well :)

Hey thanks so much!
I enjoyed ! Really nice work ! I use this machine too and with the M:S and its really fun to play :) I wonder what your next project will be, in the meantime I'll listen to the other two
@@davidackermans9155 Hey thanks so much for checking it out! I like how you pair the cycles with the samples, I bet they compliment each other very nicely. I’m not sure what kind of project I’ll do next, but for now I’ll keep trying to release a new track every day. There’s lots I want to explore after this though, so stay tuned ✌️
Very nice thank you.
@@krazywabbit Thanks so much for listening!
Lovely sounds
@@Paulsmusik28237 Thank you so much!
Nice. Subscribed 😊 I rarely spend more than a day on a jam because I love the quick, almost random way stuff comes together. I write down a few notes so I can recall what I did and what patches I used then move on 👍🏼
@@Lo-Fi-Si Hey thanks for subscribing! I like your workflow. Before I started doing these every day jams for Jamuary, I’d work on a song for a couple of weeks. I’ve been digging knocking out a new track every day, though. This track was nice for me because it came together so quickly. I love that kind of flow, where the elements almost arrange themselves into a song, and I’m just letting it happen and not overthinking things. It’s been a good learning process so far. Happy New Year ✌️
I love it, it sounds so good
@@Paulsmusik28237 Thanks man!
Great! Love it. Keep up the good work. Do you ever release your project files for sale? Or sharing for learning purposes?
@@damelos4039 Hey thanks a lot, much appreciated! I haven’t yet released any of my project files. However, in the future I might explore something like that.
Wow this is great and I want a Model Cycles so bad! Happy new year and Jamuary25 buddy! Subscribed 👍
@@hellf.o Hey thanks so much! I got my Cycles for around half the price of a new one by buying used on reverb.com. Worth checking them out there if you’re looking to buy! Happy New Year ✌️
Videos are like this are what convinced me to buy a model cycles.
@@DalePatch Heck yah! The Cycles is such a rad little machine. Thanks for the nice words 🙏
agree
I gotta get off my but and start using my gear
@@DalePatch Yeah dude, go for it!
Super cool
@@dianafabiolaramirezvillanu8848 Thanks 😎❤️✌️
thank you! now i need to get a model:cycles asap
@@zopicmoon Yeah do it 😀 Thanks for listening ✌️
I also bought it a year ago and I’m going to start going deep now, in the meantime I also bought Digite, I really liked what I heard, I’ll follow your channel, keep telling me the experience. Thank you for sharing
@@sergiolindolfo Hey thanks for listening! Im not sure what the Digite is, but I’m wondering if you meant Digitone? Have fun with the Digitakt you bought. It’s a great machine 👍
@ lol yes Digitone
