E-Book “Making Ambient Music With Cherry Audio Synths (and Effects)” (sh.itjust.works)
 

The picture shows how it looks like when I´m planning the structure of a new piece of music. This time it´s Ambient Techno. In the book I explain each step, lay out the “whys and hows”, show alternatives and – first of all - “detect” the characteristics of the musical style, which the pieces are going to be examples of. If everything develops according to my plans, I´ll be able to publish this e-book on the 30th April. I´ll keep you informed, here as well as on my website https://dev.rofilm-media.net/. Cheers and peace! Rolf

Enjoy the book. There´s a volume 2 to come - probably in 2026 - with a lot of practical examples and VST applications. Cheers, Rolf

You´re most welcome! Enjoy the material! Cheers, Rolf

Finally getting back into it, but it's been decades so I'd appreciate some tips in c/musicproduction@lemmy.ml
[–] rofilm@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I don´t know if you are interested in using granular techniques, working with sonic grains etc. In case that you are, here is a link to download my comprehensive e-book about granular sound tweaking. I´ll give it away for free: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dj3av5q141ln5zi/In%20the%20World%20of%20Grains.pdf?dl=0 Cheers and peace! Rolf

I don´t know if the download link is visible (I´m new to this lemmy thing). So I´l try again:

What do you think about furniture music? Like Satie stuff in general? in c/musicproduction@sh.itjust.works
[–] rofilm@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, it was indeed Satie who coined certain pieces of his work "furniture music". I personally don´t like it that much, but it´s of course historically important as one of the "forefathers" of ambient - whatever is understood under this term nowadays, as Eno once said: "I don´t even recognize ambient music any more." From the view of a composer the idea of being "as ignorable as it is interesting" (Brian Eno) is a challenge of course. I´m currently working on a couple of ambient pieces, and I have to take care a lot not to miss this thin line between ignorability and interesting. Cheers and peace! Rolf

VCV Rack - Anyone interested ? in c/musicproduction@sh.itjust.works
[–] rofilm@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I´m really deep in VCV Rack . I´ve even written a whole e-book trilogy about making generative music with VCV Rack. I think it´s the most versatile modular synth software out there (perhaps together with Cherry Audio´s Voltage Modular - which is not freeware though). Some modules are a bit poorly documented, but all in all it´s a marvelous way into modular synthesis. I recommend anyone who starts working with VCV Rack to limit oneself to only a few basic modules, doing a long time experimenting with these few modules, and only then step by step expanding the system. There is a big danger to drown oneself in the plethora of available modules without really learning what each of them is able to do. Cheers and peace! Rolf Ah, by the way, there´s free e-book about the matter, which may help quite a lot: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/nkzlk2vmfop66w8krmyjt/h?rlkey=tg0zkmccil0twpx87z7qn7826&dl=0
