Hello, I’m Emily. I make music as socool. It is a mush of ambient / jungle / trip hop / downtempo / jazz / idm.

I live in Vancouver, BC and I’m the Digital Creation Librarian with the Inspiration Lab at VPL, and a batroom producer with https://ravenation.club/@bathurst.

I'm here to make friends and discover and share music.

It's Friday, and to help the participating musicians along I've dedicated this week's write-ups to covering some of the entries. I couldn't do all 72 (!) but I did do all 16 of my mutuals' entries! Read them here:

https://www.etherdiver.com/2024/05/24/opm-fedivision-special-super-edition/

And revel in the wild variety of music of the Fediverse. From doomy cyberpunk techno to giallo-inspired twee psychedelia, this is a deep class, with lots of intriguing music to discover. Dive in, and enjoy!

You ready to hear about some (other people's music)? I'm going to try something different this week and add all of the music I'm covering in one thread, with the blog containing slightly longer versions of all of these linked at the end. LMK what you think of this format.

This week we have tracks from @panda @OneBlindMouse @bathurst @socool @Dace and @paul_griffin

And remember, any Friday is a good Friday to support these musicians!

Each year I look forward to attending this annual gathering next to the beautiful Similkameen River in Snaza’ist which is also known as Hedley, BC.

Revel Music Festival creates a welcoming, inspiring, electrifying, peaceful and nurturing space for everyone to find connection and healing through dance and rest.

It's one of the great honours of my life to be invited to share music at this festival.

Sonic Walker Mix - Liquid Drums

Really enjoying this liquid dnb mix from @sonicwalker - awesome track selection and mixing. It features Atmospheric Ascension by @Sakti & @skysonix, and I'm jazzed that one of my new tracks with @skysonix was included too!

Thank you so much to all who have listened to and shared this beautiful new single by @lehto today!

I'm grateful to have had the honour of adding my voice to this song. 🙏

Here's the Bandcamp link in case you'd like to give it a listen. My friend said it is enchanting ♥️

PS: I love how so far everyone who has supported the release is from Mastodon 😍

Hello all, this Friday, @bathurst is releasing Flowers Grow From Rain by @lehto.

I recommend following Bathurst on Bandcamp to get notified as soon as it's released, and there is also a pre-save link:

I'm really excited for you all to hear this wonderful song! I had the honour of lending my voice to this gorgeous ambient lullaby and it's really something special ♥️

Yesterday @skysonix and I released our first song, Morning Frost.

Here are some links to hear the rest of the song:

Morning Frost will soon be joined by three more tracks when we release our EP, Snow in Summer, on March 8.

“Morning Frost” (single) artwork, featuring a Euphorbia Marginata flower (nicknamed “Snow-on-the-mountain” or “Snow In Summer”) displayed with a high-contrast, black & white negative effect with hints of green.

Today Andy Stockton and I released our single ‘How we came to dream of flight’
https://socool.bandcamp.com/album/how-we-came-to-dream-of-flight

This project started when Andy sent me his poetry recordings, which I then responded to musically in an ambient/ neoclassical style.

We’re grateful for all the support we’ve received already during the pre-order. Lots of Mastodon friends there :)

socool,
@socool@ravenation.club avatar

In Andy’s words, “It's been a deeply emotional journey to put together, the poems are the most personal I've ever shared and relate to my ongoing recovery from childhood trauma.

Dedicated to all the survivors. Love yourself and keep striving.”

@socool@ravenation.club avatar

Friday at last! I have some new music to share this - it's a poetry/music collaboration with my friend Andy Stockton from Sheffield.

The full release is next Friday, but we figured we would open up preorders now in case anyone is adding music to their Bandcamp collections today.

@socool@ravenation.club avatar

@xylander Thank you so much for your support! I think maybe I didn't set up the preorder on Bandcamp the right way though because actually the release is just that one track only, my apologies if that wasn't clear 🫣

socool,
@socool@ravenation.club avatar

@xylander Thanks again ❤️ And haha yeah I definitely messed something up with this preorder because I'm guessing other people are thinking the same thing. BRB gotta go get Andy to record some more poems and write some more music quick!! 😂

@socool@ravenation.club avatar

@xylander @axwax Ooh I like this idea!

Profoundly grateful that three of my tracks were included in Blue-in-Green:RADIO’s 100 favourite songs of 2023. 🙏

http://www.blueingreenradio.com/2023/12/2023-in-100-songs.html

Two of them were collaborations (including one with @lehto!) and the other was from the Ephemera Remixes EP. It turns out almost all of my releases this year were collabs and remixes and I love that.

@socool@ravenation.club avatar

Starting in 3 minutes!

We’re having a Listening Party on Bandcamp to celebrate Dragon Trax’s 1st anniversary compilation album "First Orbit" that comes out tomorrow. 🚀

December is for finishing music projects.

Putting the finishing touches on my half of a split album with one of my favourite ambient artists that will hopefully see a physical release sometime next year. 🤞

I also just realized I have quite a pile of new mostly finished solo material building up so now I have to decide how I'll release that too.

And then there are all the collabs!

socool, to music
@socool@ravenation.club avatar

To press play on something new takes a brief moment of courage, a tiny leap of faith.

Anyways this is a truly great album; I heartily recommend it. ☺️

In more electronic music compilation fun, I have a new collab that I made with @edwardspark coming out on Dragon Trax this Friday 🚀

The compilation is called First Orbit, and our track is called Subzero.

Pre-orders are open now so you can already hear Subzero 🎧

PS. Fellow fedi artist @FastGhost also has a 🔥 track on the compilation!
