Arctic Scream for the M-VAVE FM-1

Arctic Scream2.0

by PolarPatch GitHub ↗

synthambient · drone

Long dark screaming ambient from the frozen Arctic. A living feedback loop creeps out of the cold and grows into a howl. Drones drift over the tundra as wind and every sound keeps moving after you let go. Four tracks, nine sound sources, endless reverb, shimmer and runaway echoes.
