Mountain... Dust... - you can read it at https://desertmountaindust.blogspot.com.au/2017/02/tuonela-primitive-progressive.htmlAfter silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous HuxleyAll good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean CocteauAll music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan

  2. Your current browser isn't compatible with SoundCloud

    I won’t be able to see this, if it actually uploads properly. My computer is nearly as ancient as I am and still runs Windows 7, and can’t be upgraded. I can’t be the only one in this position… ? A lot of software and sites I use have ceased support for Windows 7, I get that. A replacement…

  38. Ice-nine

    I was going to cover this with soundbites about ICE and their activities, but who needs that in their lives? I'd rather just listen to the noise. (I made this Followers Only, and nothing happened for 24 hours, no plays or feedback, (probably because I don't know how to use the system), so now…

  39. Speed reading class

    Sometimes shit happens in a very satisfying way... The algorithm doesn't like it, says it's not ready or suitable to be pushed to interested listeners. I think that's some sort of compliment, I am really over algorithms.

  48. Excess pit [disquiet0745]

    Where to start? I assemble all my tracks in Audacity on my 15 year old PC and use every effect I touch way too much. For this one I picked reverb (specifically a plugin called Ambient Chamber on its “Space” setting), delay (always used irresponsibly and to excess), Paulstretch and Tempo Change. I...

  49. Cold solution [disquiet0744]

    A bit time-lean on this one. I messed around with the sample, extending, adding reverb, converting with Harmonic Adder and ambient v.1, then spliced the results together. Tastier than expected. ---------------------------------------------- Step 1: Download the recording at the following link. It...

  50. Ad astra [Naviarhaiku639]

    Made for Naviar Records' 639th Haiku Challenge
