Orthant

A minimal atmosphere patch at 115 BPM.

The idea was to maintain a contained physical foundation, with dry percussion, resonant motifs, and ambient layers that gradually shift without losing character.

There are several trowaSoft sequencers for rhythmic and tonal organization, with Clocked as the main clock. The bass originates from Autinn Excavi and passes through Chow and Fauna, while the filtered vocals use Axe, vespae, and Waveshaper. There’s also a tine vocal, a continuous drone, and plenty of synthesized percussion, combining VCV Drums, Kickall, Percall, and other sources.

Nimbus, Erica Fusion Delay, antrum, and tabes form four distinct effects buses, with tabes also functioning as a degraded memory of the opening bars. Cycle and Drift add slow movement to filters, granularity, reverb, tape, and timbre without turning everything into obvious modulation.

The overall intention was to achieve something dark, organic, and fairly clean, with enough detail to make the patch interesting even when listening to it beyond the musical result.
