Fucking Amazon sent me the wrong record (I never order from them, but they were the only place I found what I was looking for). It’s hard to be mad at the result - however- as this is stellar.
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
Throwback to summer. I’ve applied for some funding to upgrade my drone so here’s a shot with my Mavic 2 Pro. A panorama of Qajuutinnguaq down Adams Sound from home. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography#Drone
Friends, followers and musically curious onlookers, I could really use some listens today! I'm an independent #musician who makes weird, #psychedelic#ElectronicMusic for listening to from the couch. If you're new to my oeuvre, this is the best place to start:
If you're already familiar with that one, and/or like your #WeirdMusic a little more in the #drone, #ambient and #soundscape vein, your next stop is Metaphysical Shitposting, which you'll find here:
#NowPlaying - the last (known) session of don cherry's organic music ensemble period before cherry returned to the states, toured with lou reed, & returned to slightly more inside/outside sounds. recorded in italy, summer '76, with an om-ing/droning quartet featuring genius brazilian percussionist nana vasconcelos, guitarist gian piero pramaggiore, & moki cherry on tanpura. https://blacksweat.bandcamp.com/album/om-shanti-om#drone#jazz@vinylrecords
Using less water & using a #drone to fertilize are new techniques that Van is trying & #Vietnam hopes will help solve a #paradox at the heart of #GrowingRice : The finicky crop isn’t just vulnerable to #ClimateChange but also contributes uniquely to it.
Vietnam is the world's 3rd largest #rice exporter, & the staple importance to #Vietnamese culture is palpable in the #Mekong Delta.
#Drones have reshaped the battlefield in #Ukraine and in the Middle East. #Drone technology has many iterations from #Iran ’s #Shahed and #Turkey ’s #Bayraktar to the homemade war drone. We look into the history, the geopolitics, and the prospect of teaming drones up with #AI in this week's #TheGlobalJigsaw - recommended listen:
The boss lady on a #Caturday morning, after celebrating #TheGlobalJigsaw 's New York Festivals award... yet despite the jolly distraction, she subbed and updated our latest episode on #drones - including #Iran attacking #Israel , a deep dive into the #UkraineWar and drone use in the #Sahel , plus a bit of #Drone history from the Queen bee on and #Shahed and #Bayraktar production - tune in, #CatsOfMastodon, you'll like it:
"We are witnessing a historic process -- Russians are leaving for the first time in two centuries," independent Azerbaijani analyst Elhan Shahinoglu told AFP.
Just playing around with oscillator syncing and my new reverb. Some serious low freqs here, best played on a good speaker system with a subwoofer, or at least headphones.
