Matt's Emotional Ambient Synthscape (100 bpm)

After making a cool Moogish sounding patch in Rob Papen's synth Albino, I was instantly inspired to create something epic with loads of layered evolving ambient sounds, a strong melancholic melody and probably excessive amounts of reverb. This was the result!

Feel free to use this little soundscape however you like; cut it up, reverse bits, detune it, whack some strings over it, sing over it, completely mangle it up by running it through a bass distortion pedal so it sounds like a choir of musical bees... whatever floats your proverbial boat, just please make sure to credit me (Matt Campbell) and add a link to this page so others can find it.

I'd love to hear/ see what you do with this so please send me a message and let me know what you did with it! It makes me really happy to see my work inspiring other people.

<< I'll also be uploading the separate instrument stems from this soundscape including the summed reverb tracks and the dry synths for those interested. Send me a message if you'd like the synth patches! >>
