ABOUT AMBIENT KEYS             

Marvin's curation of the sounds in his library took months. He spent his time carefully sampling the sounds he loved to use in his own music. Some didn't make it to the final library and some were a no-brainer.

The final collection of sounds in Ambient Keys is an insight into the musical palette used by Marvin in his award-winning music. Marvin captured sound using various gear, including:

  • Eurorack

  • Electric guitars

  • Juno-6

  • Kalimba

  • Korg MS-20 Mini

  • Moog Matriarch

  • Fender Rhodes

  • Novation Summit
