  • Here's an Ableton Live tutorial about my strategies for making generative music. Most of the ambient-adjacent music I've made over the past two years has come to life using techniques and tricks detailed in this video!
    Here's a link to download the Ableton Live set I'm using in the video (clicking the link will immediately download the file):

    This just opened up an entire new world for me! I have been on a Brian Eno craze for awhile, and decided to dip my toes into ambient music. This seems to have taken me to the next level. I like how easy your setup is to make the system quickly but unique for the piece!

    Funny coincidence. I am starting to learn how to make generative ambient music. I'm also interested in modular synthesis.. and I'm moving to Seattle in 2 months from the east coast. Can't wait to check out that event! And maybe play some day ..

    Really nice. Would you mind clarifying exactly how you are generating rests? I’ve watched a few times and keep missing the actual devices / process. Thanks!

    you didn't include the samples in the project so 0 sound out

    • @MasonLynass
      @MasonLynass  3 місяці тому

      Right, some of the instruments are sounds I’ve paid for through a third party. Just swap the whole instrument out and you’ll hear the MIDI processing through your own instruments
