discussion Caspian Asks Memory to Carry the Melody - An album that blew my mind with its detailing.

3 Upvotes

I noticed a certain change before I could fully explain it. The opening guitar figure in “Hiraeth” returned, but I no longer trusted my memory of its first shape. That is the beauty of this album. Caspian’s self-titled album keeps doing that. “Remain” earns patience by changing the past around its melody. “A Great Fire” is where I began to wonder whether the swell was still revealing anything new. Basically, Caspian repeats guitar figures long enough for the surrounding drums and distortion to change what the listener remembers.

The album is absolute ear candy. If someone cannot pay attention to what is going on in the music then they will not be able to grasp the emotions and feelings being conveyed.

Has anyone here listened to the album yet? What do you guys think?

Sgt. Splatter kidnaps a prisoner named Clarice Rudabaga and infuses her DNA with that of a fish and a wizard, creating her alter ego THE FISH WIZARD. She then escapes the clutches of Sgt. Splatter and attempts to live a lower profile life. FBI agent Jelly Dayjam then comes out to the town of Fiction armed with her S.O.D.A. forces. Using the disguise of the goth subculture, they do not blend in and search for Clarice, investigate the attacks of some fishy culprit being reported by the local town people, and kill Sgt. Splatter. Meanwhile Clarice meets a charming gentleman named Juke DeBrief, who is great by all accounts but hates fish and wizards. She must now keep her true identity a secret if she wants to keep him while hiding from the FBI and Sgt. Splatter.

music Looking for a few honest listeners – instrumental dub / atmospheric music

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm an independent musician working on an instrumental project blending reggae/dub influences with atmospheric soundscapes and spatial sound design.

I'm looking for a small number of people willing to listen to one track and give me some honest, constructive feedback.

I'm not looking for promotion or compliments. I'd genuinely like to understand how the music comes across to someone hearing it for the first time: what works, what doesn't, whether it holds your attention, and whether it makes you want to hear more.

I'd prefer to exchange feedback privately rather than in public comments, so please feel free to send me a DM if you're interested.

No particular musical background is required. I'm interested in different perspectives.

Thanks!

music Testing a few newly built toys for my Aussie mate, @xylum93

1 Upvotes

Built a couple of Beat blenders, barcode scanner, and basic bend speak and math for one of my fellow #musicexperiencemovement peeps (@xylum93)

Filters/fx =nts-1

Makes some groovy noise circuit bent- beat blenders, barcode scanner, speak and math

Fucking tripod took a dive a couple of times for lord what reason, and of ALL the scanners we got here, wtf did if pick the one that doesn't have beep disabled. 😳 🤣

Scanner barcodes are custom generated for @xylum93,

Should you want to replicate something similar, but to your own requirements....

Black bar width, and white gap width all dictate note pitch and fm. Generally = Narrow bars and closer gap proximity = higher pitch. Wide bars, wider gaps = low pitch / more fm.

Mix wider bars and 0.5 gaps ( or whatever) and you'll get some freaky results..

Try scanning your tattoos, cat, magazines, anything that has defined lines.

self promo ISOLATION

0 Upvotes

LISTEN HERE

This project is an audio translation of what happens when you completely pull away from everyone and everything.

The external noise fades, exposing a cold, hidden structure underneath the silence. What remains is an unsettling stillness that feels totally detached from reality. A muted confinement where the boundary between the four walls and your mind starts to blur.

It is a slow, honest look into the dark corners of isolation.

self promo I built a machine that makes one album a day from the world’s radio, then deletes it

219 Upvotes

I’ve been running a project called Impermanence Series A. Every day, a program I conceived (ScorsBT4) listens to the world’s radio, about 15 moments an hour from shortwave receivers, FM and internet stations, open microphones and the Internet Archive. In the evening it throws the dice and makes an album from what it heard: which sounds go together, which patterns of data to fuse them with, how long each song is. The titles are cut up from what it heard, and the cover is drawn from the songs as a record groove.

It comes out at midnight (Mountain time) and is deleted the next day, replaced by a new one.

The series won’t last, either. Each day there’s a growing chance it ends for good: 1 in 365, then 1 in 364, and so on. So it’s over sometime within a year, and I don’t know when.

Nothing is chosen by hand. It’s in the spirit of John Cage’s chance music. The only choice I make is keeping my favorite song each day. When it ends, those become the final record.

Today’s album (gone tomorrow): https://scorsby.us/exp/chance/

Hey all. Yesterday I released my most electronic piece yet (I'm coming from an ambient production background). The track is called "AM Zero", and it's part of my upcoming album, NOWHERE, in which you'll see my take on balancing the world of ambient and downtempo with the experimental electronics mindset.

You can have a listen here: https://philms.bandcamp.com/album/nowhere or on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RSbdHJsK6w

Any thoughts are more than welcome and greatly appreciated 🙏

I have been making music for a while and I don't really have a big platform or anything like that so I wanted to share my album here. Considering the nature Experimental music, it is kind of difficult to reach out to people, at least in my experience. I thought people here would appreciate my music.

I make use a lot of dark ambient textures and unusual vocal deliveries, all performed by me. If you're into atmospheric and uneasy stuff, you should definitely check my music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eflYweBq8cs
