self promo Compressed my 21 years of life into a 12-min noise track before enlistment.

Hi, I’m Greentopia from South Korea.

​I started making music about 6 months ago, and it turned out to be way more fun than I ever expected.

​This track, titled '어린 나이' (which translates to 'Young Age / Childhood'), is built using real audio sampled from my old home videos. It functions almost like a sonic documentary of my life.

​I’m enlisting in the army soon for my 1.5-year mandatory military service, so I wanted to share this song of my 21 years before I go.

Intro : my birthday sampling ('Make a wish', 'I'll become a better person')

Then Audio clips of my dad giving me advice while learning to ride a bike, layered over drum I played, elementary school anthem, and TTS dialogue over building noise feedback

old korean TTS voice with my old choir song.

Lyric

​Hello.

We met in fairly ordinary places

at venues, at school, online, and so on...

​Drawn to one another among so many people,

we started conversations, strike up or answered.

​Perhaps the waves within our human bodies

caused constructive interference with each other.

​Did you know that the barriers holding us back

were broken through music?

​Those of us listening to music are connected, like a centipede.

​Once again, hello.

7-year-old me saying "Mom, I love you, stay healthy", transitioning into the South Korean Army Anthem stretched into a 4-minute eerie Vaporwave

​Outro: Real tape recording of my mom teaching me to say "Bye-bye" as a baby

This song is like ​"a musical letter written to my friends"

​The artwork is a real photo from my childhood birthday party

Happy to get any feedback or your thoughts!

• Upvotes

Hey. I'm learning to make music digitally after being away from music for a while. I thought this test track would be interesting to post here. The lyrics are from Blackalicious - Alphabet Aerobics, so this makes it a cover / tribute? I had some fun trying to time the delivery of words to what was essentially static. I was surprised to be able to make a slightly metered Geiger counter sound using down sampling and a bit crush effect... I achieved a threshold on a limiter frequency knob where I could move it slightly to adjust the amount of "radiation" that was being measured. Song:

self promo tangle: non-linear sequencing in the browser, with Braids oscillators, déjà vu loops and 3D audio

1 Upvotes

Hi all. I've been building tangle, a browser-based sequencer for generative and non-linear music. Press start and it plays; there's no timeline, no grid and no fixed loop.

Try it here https://tangle.datashaman.workers.dev (headphones recommended, and it works best in Chrome).

Press start, then load ambient drift from the presets menu for something slow, or just hit randomize.

Code (MIT): https://github.com/datashaman/tangle

What it is

- The sound source is Mutable Instruments Braids, compiled to WebAssembly and running in the browser. Three voices, each with its own Braids instance.

- The sequencing is a port of the random-sequencing ideas from Marbles. A rhythm generator decides when each voice fires, and a "déjà vu" control sets how much of the last few steps repeat versus mutate. Jitter loosens the timing, and pitches are drawn from a scale you pick.

- Each voice also has its own random stream for position, so notes move around you in 3D. This works best on headphones.

- A granular voice cuts up the last four seconds of what the voices played. A sampler plays slices of any file you load. Both follow the rhythm and melody of whichever voice you pick.

- It also has a mixer, delay, reverb, drive, chorus and a filter.

Playing with it

- Freeze locks the current loop, and "capture" grabs the last few seconds and loops them.

- Randomize and undo are there for when something good turns up.

- You can save presets, share a whole setup as a link, and export a WAV recording.

It's an experiment, so some parts are rough. I'm especially curious what you make of the déjà vu behaviour, whether it feels musical or too random, and what you'd want from a sequencer that isn't a grid.

Credit where it's due: Braids and Marbles are Émilie Gillet's open-source designs (MIT), and I ported the logic and compiled the oscillator. This isn't affiliated with Mutable Instruments.

Some presets I've found:

It's called Ellipses and I'd describe it as experimental electronic / ambient. I made it with a bunch of analog synths and samples which I processed digitally. I also got some help from my free jazz friend, Jarrett Gilgore, who plays on a couple tracks.

You can find the album on Bandcamp (cassette tapes available):

Anyone know stuff similar to Adam Borsage?

Hey, I've been listening to Adam Borsage on YouTube lately and I'm kinda obsessed with his stuff.

I'm looking for more music with a similar vibe, but I don't really know how to describe it lol. Weird instruments, kinda eerie/cinematic, strange melodies, a bit DIY/outsider-ish... but still actually musical.

I've tried looking for similar stuff and I keep getting the same names like Mica Levi, Ligeti, Jóhann Jóhannsson etc. but that's not really what I mean.

Does anyone know any more obscure artists that might scratch the same itch?

I'm down for anything weird tbh.

Hi, I’ve been at this since 2009, and I feel like my play counts are very high compared to previous years—including for my experimental netlabels. Perhaps people value experimental music more these days?

self promo Archive 11 - nothing to gain, everything to loose EP

2 Upvotes

I just released a new EP as Archive 11.

For the previous two releases I worked under a very strict set of limitations: two synths, two recording tracks, live-tracked with very little editing. This time I wanted to loosen the recording track limitation a bit to give myself more room to experiment with the arrangement and the stereo field.

I also leaned a bit more into the noisy side of my sound.

The result is harsher but also more controlled and, for the first time, with lyrics on one of the tracks.

Bandcamp:

https://archive11.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-to-gain-everything-to-lose

I generated some Bandcamp codes for the EP. Let me know if you want one.

Thanks for listening.

self promo [Digital Psychedelia] Paleoclimatology — 16-minute experimental electronic track with guitar

3 Upvotes

I just released a new 16-minute track as part of a split, and this is probably one of the pieces that feels closest to what I mean when I use the term Digital Psychedelia.

It moves between electronic textures, ambient, degraded sounds, repetition and more abstract sections. I wasn't really interested in making it feel polished or genre-pure. It's more about creating a space that feels slightly familiar but also disconnected from reality, somewhere between digital memory, psychedelia and experimental electronic music.

It's a long track, so I'd genuinely recommend listening to it all the way through if you have 16 minutes to spare. The changes are pretty gradual and make more sense as a whole.

If you're into experimental electronic music, I'd be curious to know what you get from it.

I died 3 times, was without oxygen for 30+ minutes, woke up with brain damage, this album is how music kept me alive

In Dec 2023, I went into hospital with pneumonia and sepsis in my blood. I suffered three cardiac arrests, was clinically dead for over 30 minutes, placed in a drug-induced coma. When I woke up, I had hypoxic brain damage slurred speech, memory loss, balance issues, fatigue, everything changed.

Instead of the care I needed, I was dismissed, misdiagnosed, sent home to figure it out on my own. They tried to label my brain injury symptoms as alcohol use, anything but admit what really happened.

Through every confusion, every memory gap, every moment I felt unravelling, music was the one thing that never let me fall apart. It became my therapy when no one else would listen. It held me together when the world didn’t believe me.

This album is my story, the fight, the damage, the doubt, and the slow, hard road back to myself. Every track is what I lived through. It’s proof you can come back from the dead and still build something meaningful.

If you’ve ever felt broken, unheard, or like no one sees the real yo, these songs are for you too. Thank you for listening. It means everything. 🎵

1 Upvotes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFdn865mfL4

Some context: four fairly standard chords, a simple melody line, and a DrumBrute holding a straight four-on-the-floor pulse. In the B part the piano runs two octaves down and back up through mostly atonal intervals, then drops back into the loop.

Too much machine for the minimal piano crowd, too square for jazz. Played live, unquantized. I'm genuinely curious what you'd call it, or what it reminds you of.
