December 24, 2017

Listening to relaxing music and informative podcasts on a daily basis form an important part of the creative process here at Envisage Design.

2017 was a busy year, and undoubtedly a year for many of us turning to a softer, more comforting style of music to help heal and escape the real world.

Now more than ever, people are connecting with ambient music, and and in the growing popularity of the genre in the wider-music spectrum. Tune out (and tune in) to some of the best of Ambient 2017 in the SoundClould mix below.

Happy New Yeah everybody.

I purchased my OP-1 at Rubber Monkey. They are hard to find, and even sell for almost RRP 2nd hand. With the OP-Z due to release in September 2017, the six year old OP-1 may well become a sought after collectors item. It’s a slick piece of kit.

Why we like:

Stunning example of timeless Swedish product design
Intuitive colour-coded interface
Incredible array of quality sound
Sampler, synth and multi-track recording all in one.

Motion capture, procedural animation and dynamic simulations combine to create a milieu of iconic pop dance moves that become an explosion of colorful fur, feathers, particles and more.
