Listen To True Minimal Ambient Song By Killick At Looperman.com

Description : My most experimental piece yet. And shamelessly self-indulgent. Be warned lol

Built around a simple little pattern I devised when teaching myself to think in 7/8, years and years ago. Bonus points if you can spot the 7:4 polyrhythm that appears in a few places.

I see xstokes mentions steve reich it's where I went as this wove it's spell, youve got a great sound on that piano and everything else is beautifully clear and balanced too
Nice work

This feels very dramatic, almost a cinematic soundtrack. It is telling a story. Great job!

Thanks, so glad you think so. It's telling a story I don't really have words for.

This is nice, strong piano track. Did you by chance use any of the piano plugins from Ableton or from in the Packs? I haven't been able to get a solid piano sound from within Ableton. Just wondering what you used.

Thanks!

Hey Wayne, so glad you enjoyed. No I didn't use any of the packs for the piano on this one. I used Pianoteq Studio. But I did use Ableton's grand piano hybrid pack for quite a while.

The only advice I can give is based on my personal experience. But what I did was built a custom instrument rack for the Ableton piano and attach a few stock plugins to it. Then I just set that to favorites, so I'd always use my pre-set.

I'd EQ 8 and boost a high shelf, (Not too subtly either, 2 or 3 db) a little light compression, saturator with drive boosted a bit, then reverb/delay. Just the reverb on its own will make a huge difference, piano really benefits from a sense of space.

Hope that helps!

This is masterful to say the least. The piano sounds majestic. Also you mentioned 7/8 time signature. With that musically you’re in my town at my address with this! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Stunning.

hello killick! damn, this is an impressive piece! the pulses are great, the pattern works out wonderfully, and your choices of instruments and loudness make this surprising and very cool. here and there esp with the piano and melodica i imagined a meeting between matt johnson and steve reich, and by the end even an appearance by simon jeffes. excellent track!

Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

He was a simple man. A high school teacher; wife, kids. He never thought in all his life that he'd end up alone in the middle of the Apocalypse, his family dead, doing his best to survive against all odds. The zombies have grown hungrier. More agressive. They have him trapped. There's nothing he can do now.

Description : I intentionally made this song minimalistic. The drums I spliced together from some drum loops I had, there's one other loop in the mix, the rest of the instruments are played by me (bass and synths). I used the excellent (and free) Cakewalk z3ta+ vst and the BBC Symphony vst. My intention was to create a very simple and dream like ambient track. Feel free to download or comment. Feedback is always welcome. Thanks.

Description : Do the Gods like music?

What do they listen to when they are creating the fabrics of Space and Time?

Questions that can maybe never be answered but only imagined. More tones and drones from the outskirts of the universe and Neomorpheus.
