Got home late enough from work night out that I didn't even listen to yesterday's taalem advent before just buying it and going to bed. But I'm sitting listening to today's advent entry now - "infidel part 2" by Nullkommajosefh, which hits a good number of my particular sound buttons. Drifty, tinge of noise, stray elements of mystery. #bandcamp#taalem#advent#NameYourPrice#drone#ambient#experimental#noise
By popular request (me) here is one more clip from my latest song, a “post rock ambient delight” according to critics (me) :blobcatcoffee:
I aimed to create the windy howls of rocky places like the Grand Canyon or somewhere in Utah by manipulating sounds in Hypha, Piano Colors, and Noire piano from NI. No loops. Nimona (Charvel pro mod 24 DK) is set up with some compression, a spreader, silver and chromaverb, and a multi spread time delay (studio and tape). #guitar#ambient#PostRock#music
in an effort to expand my music library and also share cool stuff, fedi, I beseech thee... lend me your ears (and boosts)
if you listen to, make, or have a friend who makes electronic music that fits any of these descriptions:
sounds like the early 2000s, especially if it's some kind of dnb, jungle, or ambient
nostalgic futurism that isn't dnb or ambient (and especially not synthwave!)
sounds like racing game music from back when it was too good
vaporwave but original (as in, not sample based) and not synthwave
weird and wacky experimental electronica that can work in the background
bass heavy but low intensity music that tickles the brain
just really pretty and interesting ambient or drone stuff in general
please drop names and links here. by all means, plug yourself and your friends if you want to
bandcamp, mirlo, faircamp, and similar links are preferable, but any link will do if those aren't available. extra bonus points if creative commons or similar
I think these styles of music are amazing and rather underrated, especially since a lot of the people who like these styles are just playing random youtube mixes in the background, so they have no idea what they're actually listening to or who to support
I also find this kind of music annoyingly hard to discover, which isn't helped by those mixes either, because most of them are either drawing from the same small handful of artists, or just playing video game soundtracks
I want to change that, even if only a little bit. for that reason, please boost
aside from just hoping to spread this post around, I'd love to write about what I hear on my website eventually too, play it during livestreams with the titles on screen, and of course share it with all my non-fedi friends
Another blast from the past, "Schizophrenia Simulator OST" is inspired by an ancient installation in Second Life (anyone here remember/still enjoy Second Life?). See, one of the things I was first introduced to in that particular "game"/metaverse was the Schizophrenia Simulator exhibit, which was made by some researchers into the illness to demonstrate what the subjective experience of suffering from the disorder was like.
The FSA #Faircamp site is online! There's a couple tweaks to be made, for example, I seem to have gotten at least one release date wrong (copy/paste strikes again), but nothing I'm worried about fixing right away.
Support is always appreciated, but feel free to just listen or take advantage of the "soft" paywall too.
Here's the weekly digest thread of my #OPM post: 5 writeups of new (to you, probably) artists and #music for your listening pleasure. #Rock, several flavors of #ambient and #NewAge and more await you within!
Of course, you can read the whole thing, with longer writeups than fit in a single post, here:
Hej. Chodzi mi po głowie alternatywny podkast ambientowy. Jestem w jakimś miejsciu, którego dźwięki uznaję w jakiś sposób za interesujący. np. jak odpoczywam w lesie przy dźwiękach ptaków lub owadów. Nagrywam powiedzmy kwadrans. Bez żadnej obróbki nagrane dobrymi mikrofonami wrzucam do podkastu. Publikuję z infomacją czego dotyczy ambientowe nagranie. Pewnie głównie dźwięki dzikiej przyrody i tzw. natury, ale nie wykluczasm industrialu. Słuchałby to ktoś?
ps. Na licencji CC-BY więc moglibyście wykorzystywać do Waszych podkastów lub muzyki pod warunkiem podania źródła.
It's a good way to prep for the next #BandcampFriday, or just meet some of your musical neighbors. Read it here (and be sure to actually listen to some/all of the list!):
I had a bit of time to record two new tracks to my ongoing instrumental/ambient project “music for snailports”. Trying to just have a mini idea of how I want something to sound and then doing some spontaneous recording. These ones came out a bit #GuitarSoli or like kind of reminds me of being by the ocean.
Here’s the bandcamp for listening, the new ones are “C” and “D”:
Wishing all our fellow Mastodonians a happy Winter Solstice and a very Merry Christmas. The latest blog post, 'New Towns, Mountains and Other Moons', is a whistle stop tour of our favourite words & music from 2023. You can read it, and listen to some musical highlights, here...
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 ♥️
We have a dark electronica double whammy this week, with the arrival of Pye Corner Audio's 'The Endless Echo' from Ghost Box, and The Night Monitor's 'Horror of the Hexham Heads' from Library of the Occult.
Nightmares on wax...👀
Incredibly Niche: I made a tray and rack for the Ambient Weather wireless outdoor particulate air quality monitor (www.thingiverse.com)
I know this is incredibly niche but if you need it, you kinda really need it. xD...
