Hello all,
My name is Jack and I make electronic music. Like most electronic musicians I enjoy nothing more than locking myself in the studio, carefully crafting, sculpting, and polishing my creations. However, as my life has become more complicated I find it harder to indulge this habit. And as my studio time has diminished I've found myself relying more on small, portable synths and machines to get my musical fix during brief stolen moments. So that's why I've started this project, 'Batteries, beats, and the Great Outdoors', an outlet for the little musical creations I make while out and about. Instead of spending months tweaking, polishing, reworking tracks endlessly, these are quick, simple tunes recorded in the moment with a rucksack sized a studio with the best view in the world. :)
I hope you enjoy what I make and thank you for stoping by to listen. And if you'd like to support what I do here then consider buying me a coffee sometime. www.buymeacoffee.com/missingreels

a celebration of spring with the OP1 - dawless synth jam
I've been trying to create a track celebrating the magic of spring since last year, but I ended up changing directions with it several times. At one point it was a jam on the Nunomo QUN, then I tried again with the Teenage Engineering OP-Z (parts of which became my last mountain jam), but eventually I realised the tape of the OP-1 might actually be the way to go instead. I grew up messing around with 4-track tape recorders and always loved them, and it's one of the reasons I still absolutely love messing around with my OG OP-1. And for this track it was the perfect choice as I wanted the sound palette to get pretty dense, so being able to layer and chop and overdub endlessly was really he...

This morning I got up very early to drive into Wales and climb Pen y Fan for dawn. On the way back down I of course couldn't miss an opportunity to get my Teenage Engineering OP-Z out and record a jam.
Mountain top OP-Z in Eryri National Park - dawless synth jam
Просмотров 3 тыс.Год назад
I recently took a trip to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park to climb a mountain for my partners birthday. But of course I couldn't make a trip like that without throwing my Teenage Engineering OP-Z in my backpack and making a tune while I was there. The track heavily centres around some Mellotron flute samples and some shuffling jazz drums. I wanted the rhythm to roll up and down like all the hil...
Nunomo Qun MK2 is a tiny powerhouse - dawless jam
Просмотров 12 тыс.Год назад
I was recently on holiday in Cornwall and took my Nunomo Qun mk2 with me to try and explore it a little more. While there I saw was inspired by the little streams and rivers that flow out across the rocks and sand, eventually joining the vast ocean. So I wanted to write something that starts as a trickle but gradually layers and builds to something more powerful, just as the little streams and ...
I still love the original OP-1 (even though I really want a Field) - lofi synth jam
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 года назад
If you'd like to buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/missingreels I've been pining for an OP-1 Field ever since it was announced. But rather than waste energy dreaming about what I can't afford, I should actually remember to enjoy what I have - the original OP-1. I still love this little beast, Teenage Engineering got so much right the first time round with it, and every-time I have an extend...
OP-Z is my favourite travel companion - dawless 80s style synth jam

If you'd like to buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/missingreels Whenever I travel for work the one piece of gear I always make sure i have in my bag is my Teenage Engineering OPZ. It's just so tiny yet powerful, so I always make room in my bag for it. This week I was blessed with a day of downtime between two jobs and I spent it hanging out on the beach in Portsmouth while I waited for a fe...
Nanoloop FM + NTS-1 mini dawless synth jam
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 года назад
If you'd like to buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/missingreels I've been messing around processing the Nanoloop FM through the effects of the Korg NTS-1. On Nanoloop I've hard panned the sounds I do and don't want to process left and right, then sent only one side to the NTS-1 using the sub mix on my Zoom F8. And the NTS-1s arpegiator is clock synced to the Nanoloop, though weirdly they sl...
Model Cycles - jamming with garden bugs (macro videography)
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.2 года назад
If you'd like to buy me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/missingreels Lately I've been exploring my back garden with a macro lens and absolutely loving looking at all the plants and bugs and textures close up. So I decided to write a dawless jam on the Elektron Model Cycles to accompany some of the footage. The video is shot on a Fuji XT30 with a vintage Vivitar 28mm lens and a reversing ring for...

😂
i dont know how you do it but youre the best at mak8ing actual good tracks on mini grooveboxes
Thanks man, I really appreciate you saying that 😊
i love this camera work!
I feel far less confident in the filming side of my videos, as opposed to the music side, so I particularly appreciate any comments on that. Thank you!
@missingreels yeah! I love the vibe and it really adds another element and transforms the video into a place to look and listen for me instead of just fun music
both elements are extremely awesome sauce and the environment is just so cool and magic
Your songs are TOP TIER. Really, really excellent! Would love to watch any videos of your writing process. Your arrangements feel purposeful, and transitions are very dynamic, yet cohesive. Good stuff. 🍀
Thanks so much for saying that man, I really appreciate it.
gorgeous!
Thanks 😊
tiny.. yes.. cool? A LOT!! thanks for sharing
beautiful!
Thank you 🙏
this is absolutely amazing.
Nice vibe~~~~so good!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Spring really is the funkiest season. Great track and beautiful shots
Thanks man. Yeah, it truly is the funniest. And also my favourite.
Every part of this is just brilliant. Composition, sound design, production, photography... The time and effort you put into your craft has made it indistinguishable from magic.
Wow, thanks for the kind words man, I really appreciate it.
Great jam and video
Thank you!
Wow! Great jam, amazing vid...this is just perfect!!!
Thanks man.
Hey that’s awesome 😮
Cheers Rich, thanks for watching. And thanks for the whiskey last night (though my head wasn't thanking me this morning😅)!
great tune - very chill and relaxing. good work!
Thank you!
Stunning! Both visually and musically.
Thank you😊
this is incredible, what a jam! loveeeeed this one
Thanks man 🙏
great song and gorgeous video too! love the editing you really captured the vibe
Thank you! 😊
A pixel art animation loop experiment I made. All drawn and animated it Aseprite. The music I wrote in Ableton, mainly with Live's stock synths. And it was all thrown together with a little post-processing in Davinci Resolve.
Well done! A+
Thank you!
stanky!
😎 Pretty much had my stank face on the entire time I worked on it.
OMG WOWOWOW also wow! you've really made something here!
Thanks for watching and the kind comment man, really appreciate it. 😊
So many batteries and beats and great outdoors. This was great man. Love the music and edit
Possibly the most batteries beats and great outdoors! 😊 Thanks man.
This is great. I miss unique and inspiring OP-1 videos like this
Thanks man! Glad you dig it.
Yeahman, that's really good vibes.
Thanks man! Good vibes is definitely what I was going for 😊
This is super nice 👌
Cheers dude! Nice user name by the way.
Great composition 🫶🏽🪄 noiretblancvie brought me here
Thanks for stopping by man, I appreciate it. 🙏🏼 And are you saying that noiretblancvie shared this somewhere? If so that's awesome, I really like that guy.
The best to ever do it with the OP-Z!
Ahh, thanks man! 😊
🤩 Wow the second part of the track with that bass synth is just awesome!!! Congratulations 👍
Thank you! 😊
Great performance on a great instrument!
Thank you!
you know the op videos are always so misleading, like this is not improvised, most of it was preset and setup ahead of time, but the videos always try to appear as if they are just free soloing on the spot in nature
Sorry man, I have no intention of misleading people. I write music inspired by nature and particular places, I then record the music in that space. I definitely don't call them improvised anywhere and I usually put something like "written for" or "sequenced on" in the video. I do sometimes call them "synth jams" in the title though, and I agree that's a silly name as it's not a 'jam' in the traditional sense. But that just seems like the terminology the internet has chosen for a short performance on some gear, so in the interests of feeding the algorithm 'jam' is the term I use (though perhaps I should avoid it from now on). But I guess I just assumed most people realise when they see a machine like the OP-Z in a video that there had to be a load of sequencing done before play and rec were pushed. Just for some transparency on how I work. Each video comes together in a slightly different way, but most commonly they happen like this. I go on a holiday or work trip somewhere, I see some beautiful stuff I want to film/photograph and also feel inspired to write some music for it. I will maybe start writing right there and then, or will head back to the tent/airbnb/hotel or wherever and write there. Once the music is written/sequenced on a device I then go back to the location and record several takes of the tune. The takes do have a certain amount of performance to them and I'll try bits in different orders, different parts muted/unmuted, and trigger effects differently etc. I then use the best take or splice a couple of takes together to make what I think is the best arrangement for the tune. Sometimes I'm lucky and I have enough time to luxuriate and write the entire piece of music in the location, rehearse it, and record it all right away in one sitting (for example my last beach OP-Z video was like that) but often family duties means I don't have time and need to work on it a bit more piecemeal. In the case of this video these mountains are quite near to my home and I hike them regularly, so I actually wrote this at home between hikes and knew at some point I'd get back out and have an opportunity to record it. Normally I'd write a slightly longer description for the video detailing how I made the track, but honestly for this one I was so tired after getting up at 1am for a dawn hike that I just threw down enough words to appease the algorithm then posted it. Anyway, I hope that clears it up. Sorry again if you feel mislead and thank you for watching.
@@missingreels That was far more gracious a response than the commenter deserved for his rude comment. Another great jam! I've been here since your Hawk Bridge PO-32 video!
It's beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you
Really putting that thing to work. Lovely stuff man!
Thanks Luke!
op-z in all its glory.. bravo!
Thank you 😊
Found this video during my search for a new pocket operator and I keep coming back to it long after just to enjoy it again. The music and visuals come together in such a nice way. My favorite shot is the seagull flying along the building right after the intro, it has a particular energy that really fits the moment in the track. Great work, hope you're doing well.
Yep, that's that Cycles sound.
No way this is just a po tonic! Wow. I have no words. Thank you…. I really wish I could see the whole process of creating it! Is this made from samples used as PO presets?
I can’t believe you made this just with a PO-32! I only saw people making house with it so far. This is really amazing, would love to see the whole process of making this tune. It really open the horizons of what I can do with my PO. Not just a boring drum machine! Thank you ❤
Can it run without being plugged in?
Thank you algorithm
😊 thanks for watching!
so trueee
wow
Wow, this is exactly the kind of music that I want to learn to make! So inspiring! How long did take you to get this track done?
Thanks! I can't remember exactly how long it took but my best guess is maybe 6-8 hours. I remember I stayed up way too late working on it one night. Filming and editing took quite a lot longer, but I'm definitely not as competent at that stuff.
Great production on a whole,bravo.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good work,love it !
The drums sample is awesome! Nice video too 👍
Thanks! I made that drum sample by sequencing a breakbeat with one of the stock ableton live kits, processed it to give it a retro vibe, then chopped that loop on the OPZ. Was pretty pleased with results so thank you for saying.
Maybe a lowpass filter for that vibe?
All your stuff is soo good! Are you on spotify? Edit: never mind, found you :)
Thank you for the kind comment and for checking out my Spotify.
yo this is fuckin awesome
Thank you!
Damn, that was awesome
Stellar love coming back
