Hi all!

Welcome to what I hope to be the first of many successful and useful Patreon-only videos where we go over something either suggested in Discord (like these) or I have a little thing I want to show that doesn't make sense for YouTube.

In this case, I've made 3 pieces of music centered around Slate + Ash Cycles and Landforms, two somewhat experimental, cinematic Kontakt Instruments.

These are part of my ongoing project to make Creative Commons music and release it on itch.io.

I'll be uploading the three over this week and by the end of the week, I'll have a release of about 5 pieces of music.

I hope you enjoy this showcase and if you have any ideas for these Patreon-only videos, let me know.

I really like this type of video. This is even better than sharing the ableton project on the pinkertone one as it allows to see how the track was built, thanks a lot! If I could ask for a bit more details on how the chords or melody come together it would be perfect but it's already great, thanks a lot for sharing. Cheers.

As someone who's done minimal noodling with Cycles, I look forward to learning more.

Thomas Debyser

Hey this is a super cool video and a really cool project!

I so enjoyed this video and I don't even use a DAW. I'd love to see more of how you approach constructing a track. Particularly, how you create interesting and surprising section variations without making them feel jarring or out of place. That would be awesome.

This was great! Some key takeaways for me: - composing in an interesting/dynamic way inside three minutes - picked up some improvisation ideas - I don't have a money or time budget for a lot of new synths or kontakt libraries or even the ones I own - seeing them in use in a practical context is immensely helpful in imagining how I might use them myself. Way better than a "preset preview". (I'm reminded of the output rev and Arturia poly 12 concerts, those were really helpful in this regard too) Really enjoyed this.

I'm not sure what is happening in Cycles, I've never looked at it, but hot dang this little gem of music is beautiful. This is very much in the realm of music I am trying to learn to make. Thank you for sharing!

It was a pleasure seeing you work on the track and make it come to life. Also, good to see in the sea of "let's go dawless" someone picking up a DAW and showing that intention and exploration can go hand in hand.
