Time for the weekly digest thread for my #OPM series! (This is for you folk that don't like clicking off Mastodon, tho I assure you my site is advertising and tracking free!).
Two tracks of lovely lo-fi #ambient textures and gentle #soundscape “Dreaming About You” really fits its title – it absolutely feels like the music from a gauzy dream about someone you love from that period just before you wake up. It’s all drifting waves of sound that surround you and fill you with a peculiar and entirely pleasant sense of warmth.
Re-listening to that 'Music Of Cosmos' collection must have spurred on a realization that, hey, I ought to actually start checking out some of those #70s#Synth wizards included. And what better place to begin that with a record aptly titled 'Kosmos'? #ElectronicMusic#ModernClassical#Ambient

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From BAD OMENS, FOUR STROKE BARON & More Out Today 5/31
Plus releases from Rhapsody of Fire, Thou, Wormwood, and Nightrage.
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”:
My main #eurorack community #EarthModularSociety is doing a full 24 hours of drones on Twitch. I'll be on at some point to help out too. Come hang in the chat and listen to some wooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooowwwwwww
This morning I glanced at a list of albums Brooklyn Vegan posted about for 2024 records so far this year, and there's a new FOUR TET record from March I feel like I would've missed had I not seen it there-- I hadn't heard about it.
Four Tet is of course Kieran Hebden from London and is some wild, weird and beautiful electronic stuff. There's some great synth and ambient sounds (and beats!) on this one.
'Three' will most likely be among my favorite albums of 2024.
Here's a digest of this week's #OPM writeups! 5 tracks from indie Fediverse #music artists to expand your musical horizons. Unusual ambient, wild ADHDcore, and more this week!
If you want the full, undigested versions (i.e. where I have more to say about each one than will fit in a single post) of these writeups, they are here:
#Ambient music created entirely with a bass guitar and effects, you say? Oh, and it’s largely improvised live, without overdubs? Wipe that doubt away, this works quite well! Opener (and title track) “Consolation” is a mournful dirge of an ambient drone that expresses the vibe of its name well via sliding tones and a powerful sonic presence; the rest is an equally ambitious take on the same base (bass) elements.
Sinon, le nouveau Brecht Ameel est très sympa aussi. Dommage que ça ne sorte pas en support physique, et là, c'est le drame : je me suis fendu d'acheter ça en version digitale. Mais je suis tristesse quand même, je pourrai pas tripoter la pochette du vinyle 😢
Explore the wilder, more #experimental side of my work with Metaphysical Shitposting, an evolving collection (new tracks added about once a month) of #drone, #ambient and #soundscape pieces, with the occasional splash of musique concrete, #kosmische and #noise mixed in to keep things interesting.
