Continuing with our popular ‘Essentials’ series Chris is here to give us the history and we welcome back Owsey to take us through some tips and techniques used to create Ambient and Downtempo music.
From building epic chord progressions, creating new sounds with resampling and harnessing plugin artefacts to ethereal orchestral strings and fundamental effects to build atmosphere, this is a genre that uses experimental sound techniques that take you on an emotive journey.
Over these 2 hours, Owsey’s got you covered so you can get up and running in the world of Chillout.
Sit back, relax, slow down the tempo and check it out!
