Here's the weekly #OPM digest ! A one-stop guide to #music selections from 8 Fediverse #Musicians . It's a great place to get some #BandcampFriday selections, or maybe find a new favorite artist.
As always, you can find a permanent archive of these, with slightly longer writeups, at my blog. The permalink for this week's is here:
Fuzzy, #lofi#downtempo that feels like it wants to grow up to be a #DeepHouse track (albeit a deeply weird one): all that’s missing is the kick drum and a groovy bassline. Hard hitting drum sounds, minimal pads and a garbled, filtered vocal chop are the main ingredients, and for the #gearheads, it might be interesting to hear this was all done on a #Digitakt.
wasn't planning on taking part as I'm pretty deep on a very big project atm, but after listening to everyone else making stuff I had to give it a go: https://soundcloud.com/ordosmarkzero/jamuary-10th
“Faded” by ZHU was released in 2014, and to date has racked up over 300 million streams on Spotify alone. Its dark, melancholic vibe, the hypnotic melody and the catchy vocals make it the perfect song for gloomy, rainy days.
Check this goddamn amazing 60 minute #deephouse set from DJ Zeu5! When people look at him, they may be tempted to call him “differently abled” but judging from his madd skillz, I could never say that.
(If someone could help me with hashtags, I’d appreciate it.)
The accompanying playlist "Floating Through The Day" is finally ready and consists of 20 carefully selected and arranged songs - mostly from upcoming artists - with the aim of recreating the track's mood and its developement.
From calm, breezy and slow to a bit more atmospheric, melancholic and upbeat.
This one is for a game in the works. Should loop more or less seamlessly.
Made with Ardour, Vitalium, Geonkick, Surge XT, Spectral Compressor and Diopser, Aether, Airwindows PocketVerbs, lots of stock Ardour plug-ins, and x42-dpl. Also Drumsynth and Bluelab Pitchshifter IIRC.
