# Sassquatch Music

> Sassquatch Music (also known as Saß and Sass-42) is the project of an
> ambient musician, indie app developer, and sample pack creator based in
> New Jersey. The work centers on long-form ambient music made with exotic
> hardware synthesizers (Programma 900, Novation Peak, Elta Music Solar 42F),
> overnight DAWless livestreams on YouTube and Twitch, royalty-free sample
> packs cut from those streams, and bespoke synth apps for Android. Started
> in 2025.

## Music

- [Live page](https://sassquatchmusic.com/): Real overnight ambient
  livestreams, simulcast to YouTube and Twitch. Long-form drone sessions,
  generative DAWless synth ambience, listening-room format. Walk away,
  come back.
- [Media archive](https://sassquatchmusic.com/): Browse every recorded
  livestream and uploaded video as an interactive content explorer
  (galaxy-style force graph, clusters by playlist).
- [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@Sass-42): All recorded
  livestreams and music videos.
- [Twitch channel](https://twitch.tv/sassquatchmusic): Live ambient streams.
- [Bandcamp / streaming](https://sassquatchmusic.com/): Long-form ambient
  records, drone EPs, processed field-recording releases.

## Sample packs

- [Sample packs page](https://sassquatchmusic.com/): Drone beds, field
  recordings, room tone, and granular textures cut from overnight
  livestream sessions and cleaned up for producers, sound designers, and
  cinematic composers. WAV downloads, royalty-free, no subscriptions.
  First pack ships late spring 2026.

## Apps

- [Apps page](https://sassquatchmusic.com/): Indie synth apps and audio
  tools built alongside the music practice.
- [Spectryx](https://sassquatchmusic.com/): A 4-voice spectral-harmonic
  additive synthesizer for Android. Spectral Morph Strip crossfades 7
  synthesis types (additive, Karplus-Strong physical modeling, FM,
  wavetable, ring mod, formant, chaos), 21 effects across two tiers,
  LinnStrument-style multi-touch grid, Constellation Sequencer with 5
  polyrhythmic arms and 32 celestial sound triggers, generative seed mode,
  per-control automation. Native C++17 audio engine on Oboe with NEON
  SIMD. Fully offline, zero telemetry. In development.
- Programma 900 visualizer: OBS audio visualizer built for the overnight
  ambient streams. Isometric and landscape modes. Reads well at 3am on a
  phone screen.
