Well, in my head this was going be five minutes long and be kind of a quick demo of an ambient technique I figured out for making a Bloom-ish generative ambient setup but with "modern" apps in AUM. Bloom is an app by Brian Eno—well, two apps, really—that has various generative modes that you can interact with or just have them play on their own. And in an online discussion group I'm in someone was bummed that Bloom is "just" a standalone app and not AUv3 or Interapp Audio. So I thought about it for a bit and came up with a way to make something Bloom-ish.

So the original thought was five minutes or so of generative music that I could talk over and explain my methods. But I just couldn't "ruin" it by talking over the music, it was too jarring. So right off the bat it was twice as long as I'd originally intended. And then I set it going again, this time with a tiny bit of shimmered piano, and didn't talk over it again, so it kind of ended up four times as long as I'd wanted LOL. So please accept my apologies, and I'll see if I can organize it into chapters to make it easy to navigate.

Basically I'm using iSEM as my synth, driven by Harmony Bloom, and then going into Weeping Wall for a cascade of echoes and then into Eos 2 for some (as usual) incredibly lush reverb. And a Pianoteq Steinway going into BLEASS Shimmer in the second piece. Many more details in the video.
