You can get a login for free if you wan’t. Soundcloud will also let you share 5 tracks of your own music for free. I don’t pay anything for my account.
But if you dont’ want to get a login these links are temporary but will help:
Check your original soundcloud link and try posting again; you don’t need a login to view regular pages, and it looks like you might have posted a link to your ‘home’ page, ie not the public viewable page (i could be wrong, but Ive followed many soundcloud links, and “soundcloud/you/tracks” doesn’t sound like a public link.)
edit And btw, Im only on the second track, but there is definitely some cool stuff going on in those link above, thanks for sharing
Interesting atmosphere changes on the first cut. (Birds to airraid sirens to outer space.)Nice use of tension at the end. I don’t think my pc speakers really do these songs justice.
These sound like they could all go very well together on a vinyl record, as this is the type of stuff I like to listn to on vinyl when it rains.
Would I be right to say this is a perfect example of minimalism?
Midnight Wind had some japanese/celtic stuff going on. At least thats my interpretation. Interesting.
Either some of that stuff DOES have tempo in it, or Im listening to it like film scorers watch movies and a tempo just comes to them…I don’t know how slowly the murf goes, but I can see how you might not be able to apply it. But tempo really isn’t a consideration when you can manually step through the stages whenever you want.
To me, these could all be served being melded together into one track or in the same album of soundscapes. Overall I was pleasantly relaxed.
Good job and I would love it if my partner sent me some textures like that to work with.
I see youll love that 103 because it might take over a minute to cycle.
I guess you could call my music minimalist. Actually, my long term goal is to use this stuff as background for a CD ROM so in many ways its more like film music. In fact, I get come inspiration my reading about film scores. Some of it was just experimental. For example, in Ligeti’s Lament I wanted to experiment with half and full tone intervals as does Ligeti in his vocal works.
Midnight wind uses a sample of a dudek which is Middle Eastern but you right as well to call it Celtic becase I am using a Celtic technique of bending up to the note and not up from the note as is often done. Takes a bit of getting used to with a ptich bend wheel.
Much of what I do is conceptual. I think of an idea and then spend hours trying to find the right sounds often laying them together.
I also often use impuse response curves from Spirit Canyon Audio which put a more etherial space around sounds than a standard reverb.
Thanks again for the listen and perhaps, when I need the sound, I will get a MURF. Right now I am more interested in getting a Macbook Pro and joining my software (lots of stuff) and hardware (Korg M3, Voyager, foogers, Eventide Eclipse) and getting Expert Sleepers Silent way to sequence CVs for my foogers and Voyager. I also want to get KARMA to play well with my Voyager. First attempts at just using presets lead to some unwanted chaos but I need to learn KARMA better.
Anyway, that is the state of things with me so the MURF can wait for now. MF 103 is on its way to me probably arrving tommorow. Waiting to create all sorts of pulsing mahem with it and perhaps, and opportunity to make the neighbors think that War of the Worlds is real
