gardenia | volca fm ambient for contemplating your life | chase bliss LOSSY + HABIT | nature sounds

Calm Korg Volca FM2 glockenspiels made lofi by ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY and looped HABIT. Everything is recorded straight into the Zoom H5 with no processing afterward. I ramble for a bit about how you and I both need to make more choices. The on-camera bird-calls were too nice to leave out. Would you like more nature sounds in my videos?

Don’t forget to bring a tether!

[@dani_raudvik]

The message you have to convey through this session is an important one for people to hear.
A great choice of sound both to suit the environment in which you set this up, as well as to frame what you are conveying in here.
What a great way to use the little volca fm2. One of my favorite little synthesizers 🙂

It WAS good wasn’t it?!?! 🤤🤤 amazing vibes my friend. Cheers

[@nolake]

I admit I laughed during the « inaction » part but the whole jam is just mesmerizing and bewitching.

[@the_washington_monument_am9714]

Oh I'm so glad it got a laugh out of you - i remember being in a particularly bad mood while writing the text and that rarely makes for good comedic material. Glad something nice slipped through. love ya my friend :)

[@mauriziofaggion]

Wooo, what a bomb this project is! I like the fact that it is surrounded by nature, and the timbre of the bell you chose fits perfectly with the context!

[@the_washington_monument_am9714]

Thank you for the kind words my friend. I aiming for a sense of peace -I'm glad I got close.

[@Mr.Meowgical]

What a lovely video to have pop up on my feed. Love the view and contemplation, and the slow build of the glockenspiel took me over 😵‍💫💚

[@the_washington_monument_am9714]

Thank you for the very kind words Mr Meowgical! I'm glad to hear that it touched you in such a way :)

[@wintermute101]

Beautiful sounds! And yeah I love a good purging of the junk. So liberating! “Why the hell do I still have this?!”

[@the_washington_monument_am9714]

oh man I found a book on hypnosis circa 1951 and I'm still torn on what the heck to do with it.

in case you're wondering: I'm slav squatting very hard over the Volca FM in my parent's garden. is this a selling point?

[@Contact_Sheets3692]

[@animal-y]
