Just finished a sequenced, ambient track on the op-1: “Snowfall”. https://m.soundcloud.com/joshua-stefane/snowfall
All the composition was on the op-1, but I ran the audio through a DSI Evolver and several effects pedals for added depth. I’m still new at using the op-1, so I’d be grateful for any feedback!
@tetsugakusha Really good track, very atmospheric. I like the gentle melody against the more brash string sounds - its easy to imagine this working very well as a soundtrack to something.
Very nice indeed!

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned and indeed i had thought out it playing to a scene of trains moving in the snow or some such lonely goodness.
Very nice indeed!Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
Just listened to your track while looking at this thru the kitchen window at 6:30 am.
Perfect music for slow mornings. Love it.
Beautiful, and very filmic.

That’s a beautiful scene. It’s wonderful to know that my music was a small part of it. Thank you so much for the comment!
Beautiful, and very filmic.
That’s really kind of you to say.
I generally have narratives or simple scenes in mind when making music, so it’s great to hear that some of that cinematic atmosphere came through.
Thanks so much!
Very nice! Maybe we need an ambient battle next time!

That makes a lot of sense to me, really comes through well on your track!

Thanks Sparky! Yeah, an ambient battle is a great idea. Perhaps I’ll start a discussion page in the near future…
I dug it. The sounds, the production quality, the ebb and flow, and even wish it was longer. I’m often the same way when I work on ambient, some story is usually flowing along in my head as I arrange everything.
Noticing a lot more ambient pieces showing up here which is great. The OP-1 is excellent for it in a lot of ways. Experimental sequencers and unusual synth engines and effects, recording and sampling and resampling.
But I digress.
Great stuff! I am amazed at the sounds the OP-1 can facilitate. I am all for an ambient battle, but would be better is a playlist of curated ambient tracks from the Operator community.
Ever hear “Snowfall” by Claude Thornhill? Similarly beautiful.
