Arturia Microfreak + OBNE Screen Violence reverb pedal on synth | dark ambient music for meditation

I sat down with the Arturia Microfreak and a few weird ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ , ‪@oldbloodnoise‬ and ‪@emptyheadeffects‬ effect pedals to make something slow, dark, and a little broken. Big drones. Warped loops. What's your go-to dark ambient synth?

This session features:
SCREEN VIOLENCE by Old Blood Noise—ethereal ambient reverb and distortion with a haunted feel. It got discontinued halfway through recording this. Thanks, tariffs. If you ever see one, grab it.
BIG TALKER by Empty Head Effects—two tremolos working together to make things stutter and break.
BLOOPER, HABIT, ONWARD, and GENERATION LOSS by Chase Bliss—each one doing their part to pull the sound apart and reassemble it wrong.

Toward the end, I let the reverb swallow everything and churn it into a Blade-Runner-esque mess.

And yeah, if you want to help a guy out, like/subscribe/do the bell thing. It bumps me up the feed.
