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
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.
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.
Look here, it's #NewMusic for you! Every week I cover 5+ new acts, listen to ~15 min worth of stuff, then tell you all about it so you can check out the ones that seem intriguing. This week we had a couple different flavors of #ambient and New Age, some #neoclassical (that also works as ambient 😅 ) and a really distinctive #rock track. Check them out!
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.
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
