The Truth About Time
Переглядів 1214 днів тому
#ambient #electronic #experimental I have no idea what time is. I thought it was a cool Albert Einstein quote, but I haven't been able to track it down. So two mysteries there. And that is the truth about that. Made with Nerdseq, Spectraphon (spectral firmware update), Resonate Rings clone, Typhoon with Parasites firmware, QPAS, and Dual Dagger. Various heavy lifting in Ableton with Stepic4Live...
Requiem For A Houseplant
Переглядів 8Місяць тому
#electronic #lofi #experimental #ambient A song for those of us who have lost favorite houseplants. I imagine houseplant heaven would be a nice, shady bamboo grove where they could all be the best-looking versions of themselves. Arranged from the starting bassoon and violin I parts of the introduction of Mozart's Requiem (Introitus). Images courtesy Google ImageFX.
Plastiquen
Переглядів 13Місяць тому
#ambient #electronic #experimental This piece was inspired by a dream I had many years ago, about a secret agent in the distant future. The Plastiquen agent is a defender of Earth in the alien proxy war between the Green Mob and the Sanctified Witches. Homeworld agents use the alien tech Plastiquen blood modification to match the powers of the Green Mob infiltrators. Each Plastiquen is an indep...

#electronic #ambient #experimental A fresh dystopia for Halloween fun. The Joy Patrol is here to make sure you eliminate everything from your life that does not spark joy. 0:00 Nevertown Beat 4:00 Procedural Policy 7:03 Heart Attack Knock Made with Nerdseq, Disting EX, Moskwa/Ostankino, SWN, A-111-5, Twin Waves, QPAS, Sealegs, Rainmaker, Bit Box, and friends. The laughter clips were made with a...
Decimation In Time
Переглядів 60Місяць тому
#electronic #ambient #experimental Decimation in time is a technical term from digital signal processing that refers to a technique used in the Fast Fourier Transform. It is in intriguing term to me because it brought out so many connotations: the slow gnawing of entropy, the gathering darkness of winter, aging, and the decline of empire. So here is a celebration of this loss, since without the...
Young Existentialists In Love
Переглядів 682 місяці тому
#electronic #ambient #experimental Inspired by a sub-plot in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022) where Mrs. Harris stays with Dior accountant André who is smitten with Natasha. The young pair shared an interest in Existentialism and began reading Sartre together (if I remember correctly). Featuring French ambient recording by @FreeToUseSounds Made with Dice (Marbles clone), Coral, @ExpertSleepersL...
Yesterday's Future Today!
Переглядів 62 місяці тому
#ambient #electronic #lofi #experimental Continuing the topic of the last video, this piece is about the future- one that was foretold, but that never came to be. Retro-futurism, I think, creates a sort of nostalgia for a bygone optimism. Featuring the lo-fi sounds of the Ambient 0, contrasted with the cutting-edge clarity of the @ExpertSleepersLtd DistingNT and the aleatoric magic of the Kirbi...
The Future Is In Order

#ambient #electronic #experimental Another piece inspired by the TV show "Fringe." One of the Observer's propaganda signs read "The Future Is Order." The future instead proceeds in increasing disorder. 0:00 Gleaming Cities Of The Future 5:16 Mastering The Individual 8:48 Marketplace Of Forgotten Ideals Made with Nerseq, TEO-5, Iridium, Coral, Rainmaker, Dual Dagger, Disting EX, Stepic and frien...
The Tragedy Of Sound Design
Переглядів 172 місяці тому
The tragedy of sound design is that it has become invisible now that it is part of everyday life. Some classic sound design of Star Trek and Windows 90's versions are explored in the framework of advancing familiarity. Eventually it all becomes background noise, part of the environment, when everything beeps and boops or plays you a little song. The other day I literally had someone make beep-b...
The Slaves Next Door

The Slaves Next Door #ambient #electronic #experimental Long jam about modern alienation. Made with Dice (Marbles clone), Resonate (Rings clone), Coral, A-160-2, A-101-2, Sealegs, Operat, SWN, Magneto, Panharmonium, Disting EX and ES-9, and friends. The Panharmonium was used as an effect send on the Magneto for the bonkers Operat voice. All driven by Dice (voices) and Disting EX (random drum tr...
QNII - 'Quixotic' Drone
Переглядів 63 місяці тому
#ambient #electronic #experimental This is an arrangement of the drone section of "The Short And Happy Life Of The Quixotic Nerd." Made with Ambient 0, ES-9, and Valhalla Space Modulator. The video is from my back yard here at the farm. A particularly wet spring gave a lush crop of forbs loaded with flowers.
The Short And Happy Life Of The Quixotic Nerd
Переглядів 233 місяці тому
#ambient #electronic #experimental This was originally thought of as "The Short And Unhappy Life Of The Quixotic Nerd," but I didn't want the Quixotic Nerds to be unhappy, even if they are hypothetical. They had to be quirky, happy little things. Made with ES-9, Ambient 0 and TEO-5. My first try at programming the Ambient 0 using Nerdseq, and it is definately capable of a wide range of modulati...
Prisoner Of Marketing -or- The Age Of Obsolescence
Переглядів 63 місяці тому
#ambient #electronic #upbeat The good old days of the '60's have been sold to pay for the beach house. Sweet tones have been replaced by dissonance, dominated by the minor key. Taken liberally from Ron Grainer's theme for "The Prisoner" and returned immediately for servicing to the beat. Made with Nerdseq, A-111-5, Resonate/Rings clone, Bitbox, Mojave, Sealegs, Dual Dagger, TEO-5 and Iridium. A...

    Now that’s a place I’d like to be! This is an interesting jam with birdsong, nice piano and spaceship sounds. Maybe I’d best be careful there…
