Hey everyone,
I put together a guide called Ambience as Ritual—a deep dive into ambient sound design, performance, and composition, originally built around the OP–1 Field and OP–XY. That said, the techniques and approaches inside can be used with pretty much any gear, including Elektron machines.
This started out as something I made for myself—just a way to organize thoughts, patches, and creative ideas around making ambient music. But after a while, it felt like something others in the ambient and experimental scene might find useful too. So I cleaned it up, expanded it, and turned it into a proper PDF.
If you’re into sculpting textures, layering evolving drones, or just exploring new workflows for ambient and electronic music, you might get something out of it. Happy to share it with this community.
thanks!
