The way you do this is you set things up for the cat with maybe a three or four chord loop of some type of a string sweep, a sound that will take a long time to fill. It has to be slow as everything in ambient is slow, soooo slow.
After the loop is running, switch the synth voice to any kind of Ahh voice and then find a cat. It's best if you find one in-heat as then it will do things to the synthesizer keys that you may not want to watch.
You know how cats do, they won't do any smashing chords like they're trying to be Cat Beethoven. When they touch something, they have to softly check it out first. It's a very tentative touch and just the thing we need for ambient. Think of that cat touch as it comes to a key for an Ahh voice. It's so benign that it makes Shirley Temple seem aggressive.
Relax.
Feel your inner child.
Find Heaven.
For the advanced ambient composer, we suggest the addition of a laser. Any time the red dot from the laser appears on one of the synthesizer keys, the cat will pounce on it. Repeating this process means the possibility of an ambient cat symphony as the cat jumps back and forth on the keys.
Realize your creative potential. Get a synthesizer ... and a cat.
(I seriously may have to do this. It wouldn't hurt the cat and it would be cryin' funny to watch.)
