microfreak dark ambient drone | synth music for meditation | deep atmospheric ambient

This is some deep, heavy ambient for drifting in and out of focus. Just me, the ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Microfreak, a couple of pedals, F and Fb.

I’m still figuring out the WHAT THE FUZZ pedal from weird noise pedals. It's not exactly subtle. Paired it with ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ HABIT — one second initial delay, 180-second secondary — which means the fuzz comes back to haunt you in layers. Chase Bliss ONWARD stirs the whole thing around like a glitchy ladle, shifting fragments into the stereo field. SCREEN VIOLENCE by ‪@oldbloodnoise‬ gives it all that giant ruined cathedral sound, and the ‪@Endorphines‬ GOLDEN MASTER holds the low end together so the walls don’t cave in completely.

Let me know if the fuzz is too much. Or not enough. Or just enough wrong.

Anyway, if you dig weird ambient experiments, hit the like/subscribe/notification bell/ceiling.
