I made a new jam with the Elektron Model:Cycles called "SONAR."
It's a melodic techno track built around an emotional chord progression, combining a four-on-the-floor groove with driving rhythms and futuristic textures.
I had a lot of fun exploring what the Model:Cycles can do while putting this one together.
Hope you enjoy it. 🎶
I made an ambient/electronica jam inspired by early-2000s electronica, combining rhythmic textures, glitchy beats, and environmental sounds like birdsong and wind.
This was created using four hardware instruments: Bastl Instruments KASTLE DRUM, Torso S-4, SONICWARE LIVEN EVOKE, and Elektron Digitakt.
The idea started when I stumbled upon an unexpectedly immersive groove while experimenting with the KASTLE DRUM through the Torso S-4.
From there, I used the SONICWARE LIVEN EVOKE to create the melodies, chords, sequenced phrases, and bass parts, then added rhythm tracks with the Digitakt to bring everything together.
Hope you enjoy it. 🎶

This was created using four hardware instruments: Bastl Instruments KASTLE DRUM, Torso S-4, SONICWARE LIVEN EVOKE, and Elektron Digitakt.
The idea started when I was experimenting with the KASTLE DRUM running through the Torso S-4 and stumbled upon an unexpectedly immersive groove. It was initially very minimal and abstract, so I gradually added more layers and instruments until it became a complete piece.
Hope you enjoy it. 🎶
For anyone into calm, relaxing ambient music:
There’s a monthly ambient event in Osaka called “Ambient Pillow,” held on the last Saturday of every month.
The venue has a high wooden ceiling, and people listen to the live performances while relaxing on cushions and sofas placed around the floor.
If the music makes you sleepy, falling asleep during the show is completely fine.
The space is about a 5-minute walk from Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome Station in Osaka.
Two artists perform each night:
19:30 Doors open
20:00–20:45 First live set
20:55–21:40 Second live set
Entry: ¥1000
The venue is actually a coworking space, so there’s no food or drink service.
But you’re welcome to bring your own drinks and snacks (as long as they don’t have a strong smell).
It’s also a perfect place for people who feel tired after sightseeing in Osaka, or anyone looking for a live event with a cozy atmosphere.
If this sounds like your kind of atmosphere, feel free to check it out:
