Generative Ambient Music on a Minimal Eurorack Modular System


Synthesist prudance shared this generative ambient music, created with a minimal Eurorack modular system.

What they shared about the technical details:

“Nebulae / Beads / Melotus modulated continuously with Tile and 2hp Rnd.

The Nebulae is a granular synth with an SD card storage, I have some loops on it, raw sounds, the 2HP rdn trigs sometimes a new loop to play on the nebulae

The output of nebulae go into two effects (in this config) that play each two layers of sound, transpose positive or negative, with differente delay and timing.

Some parameters are modulated randomly and very slowly with the Tides, giving the impression of new song transitioning.”

Berlin School Style Synth Jam


The video captures a live performance by UK-based synthesist Vykaar Tones.

The performance leans heavily into the classic Berlin School style, especially the ’70s music of Tangerine Dream.

The over-the-shoulder viewpoint offers a good view of the performance, so you can see how the old-school sounds are created using mixture of vintage and modern gear.
