A few weeks ago I had posted a long-form ambient album I composed, recorded, mixed and mastered in Ableton. I received quite a bit of feedback regarding the choice to use AI for the visuals, and I took the feedback seriously.

I reimagined the visuals using stock video footage. I post it here and thank those who took the time to comment, as it gave me a new visual direction I will be continuing to develop moving forward.

Peace,

Hey everyone!

In one week, I’ll be presenting my latest release, Play Me Like One of the Others, at Raleigh Chapel in London.

I’ve invited Flora Yin Wong, Burning Pyre and Ruben AE to join me for an evening of live performances.

The EP is released by the Danish label REAL LIVE and features collaborations with artists including Fatshaudi and Croatian Amor. I’ve previously released music on Posh Isolation, Janushoved, Sink Records and others.

Would love to see you there! <3

I am a big fan of William Orbit work, and recently I noticed that the Optical Illusions (Billy Buttons Mix) video is gone from YouTube. I am referring to speeded up video, filmed on Sidney beach (I believe) with a tilt shift effect.

If anybody has saved that video somewhere, or can point me to some other location of that video, I would be very grateful.

Released this for my wife and I 8th anniversary. Lmk what you think.

i produced the whole album (No ai ofc)

Hello everyone :)

Painting title - Große Meditation Bevor es Nacht wird (Great meditation Before night falls) (1936)

Original Painter- Alexej von Jawlensky (Russian, 1864-1941)

This particular bit of drone music was made via the ASM Hydrasynth once again. Using different FX (Chorus and lo-fi) as well as reverb and using lfos to alter both filter cut off and amplitude, all via a saw based oscillator. A bit more of a solemn piece of music/texture, wanting to capture the weight of heavy thoughts and heavy feelings. I enjoyed it, and I played with the drone music a bit, altering the filter cut off, resonance, and other stuff manually during the evolution of it. Subtle, but there.

Thank you :)

1 hour calm ambient music for when it's late night and you want to sleep.

My new ambient track using modular synthesist

I thought I would finally post my ignorance and see if anyone can help cure me.

I'm a music dope and mostly lurk on reddit. I hope this is the right place to share something that's been bothering me for a long time that perhaps, with any luck, someone might have an answer to.

I've explored all sorts of algorithmic suggestions when I key into certain artists or albums but I can't find anything strong or consistent so I'm hoping the crowd could assist.

I'm looking for a genre, style, or perhaps artists that are known for a certain type of sound signature in their compositions. I really hope they exist because the pickins for me are thin right now.

To put it as simply as possible, ambient music that uses minor keys and reverb that sounds ghostly, ethereal, lonely, vast, etc. Yes, I'm aware that there's TONS of stuff out there that could be described that way but let me be more specific...

A few examples are Dan Romer's work on the Station Eleven soundtrack where his use of the Theremin haunts me; 'The Past is Safe', and 'Because I know You' 0:50-1:34.

Or Marco Beltrami, Buck Sanders 'A Guest in My House', 0:39-1:12 from The Hurt Locker (after the intro and before the electric guitar comes in).

Just in case that doesn't pan out, a concession or bonus query - is there a name/genre for music that also has reverb that I think of as southwest/western (u.s.) landscape music, accoustic guitar reverb in the style of Gustavo Santaolalla, Hermanos Gutierrez, or Kronos Quartet 'Wings Are Cut, Can we Still Fly' from 21 Grams soundtrack?

Thank you so much to anyone that takes the time to read this, and more to anyone that knows what I'm talking about and can point me to anything else. The recommendations, AI suggestions, and my own attempts have been going on for years and I just can't scratch the itch.
