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

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 the World of Grains.pdf?dl=0 Cheers and peace! Rolf

Hi Sturgist, yes, please pass this on to them. Enjoy the book! Cheers, Rolf

Great!

… and a next try to give you this comprehensive work for free: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/nkzlk2vmfop66w8krmyjt/h?rlkey=tg0zkmccil0twpx87z7qn7826&dl=0

Hi SteveCC: So how can I offer the free download?

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

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

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
