Melancholy piece for abbreviated piano
Some Time To Myself
A laid back, semi-ambient number. Been told it's great for rainy days. I'd love to know what you think.

An atmospheric experiment with loop based music creation on a laptop.

Patterns playing across each other. Introspection sliding into dreamy psychosis, never quite waking.

A slow drift through a procedural forrest.

A spazzy, ambient Gameboy tribute to Asia [the band?] and Leon Thomas.

Sappy name I know, but just give it a listen and chill the hell out.

Gas Giant
Some light-stepping chilled out beats, inspired by the Portishead mix linked by
isopraxis, and sampling a bar or two of Holst's "Jupiter".

Upon finding yourself floating pleasantly in a canoe, you are launched into orbit. Alas.

I Love You
A little improv ambient electronic jam I made last night that was definitely influenced by herbs.

unfolding
My take on mid 70s Michael Stearns from Planetary Unfolding, with a dash of Kubrick ala 2001. It's dark, brooding space music.

An ambient ditty I made awhile back. Please clear your mind of any dirty thoughts the title may provoke.

Reaching Further
An ambient guitar/bass/string jam. None of this is real.
I didn't really live through the Eighties, but I'm pretty sure this it what it might have sounded like.
Warning: Song is epic long. It's got some variety to it, though.

My old daily journey in the rain; some twisted ambience.

Two fragile unrelated mini-melodies collide in a random reichian-tape-delay fight, battle it out in marred reverb, compression and unending echo chambers, get twisted and stretched to break a few bones in the last round and finally lay to rest on the ground forever after expiring. Recorded with
les moyens du bord, I suggest you initally turn down the volume by 20%.

An ambient little melodic house number.

They Slither, So There
Squeezed in on the last day of the challenge, this is a modern snake charming piece. It's ambient/experimental/electronic. Complete with rattlesnake sample.

In a cave, several hundred feet underground, a mysterious glow can be seen in the distance. Beyond the dark corridors, a strange music fade in as you're getting close. The spiders are here, tall as houses, moving gracefully, feeding their babies, chanting soft lullabies under the crystal dome of a large chamber. One of them approaches and weaves shining threads of sound. You're not really frightened. Actually you feel rather comfortable as you're listening to the friendly speech. Going back ?

It was 1999, I'd just graduated from trackers to fruityloops, and I was listening to a LOT of Warp and Boards Of Canada, and I made this. It's still my favourite, despite being the first tune I ever completed. Tsk.

hi,
here's the sequel to my previous post, lo-fi vamp. During a jam with a friend, I unearthed the two chords vamp from my memory and we noodled a little bit around it. He recorded my rhythm guitar part and a solo, and said he could be working on it in order to add something more orchestral to these basic tracks. Well, he's got craft but my vamp now sounds like a soft porn movie soundtrack to my ears.

I haven't posted here in a while, but I have created a new song. It's bright, optimistic and atmospheric.

I'm thinking this will be the outro to my first album, or possibly come right before the final song.
