Howdy fellow TGFers. For anyone interested I've released 3 albums today.
Now I know these won't be everyone's cup of tea as they're ambient/textural/soundscape type tracks, but these were fun and experimental for me.
No guitars at all, no Nu metal, no rock here, and even no apparent bpm. Still here?
Think more meditative, or perhaps a cinematic scene in a shitty, dystopian B movie.
Personal goals are to just release material I've enjoyed making, the best I can without overthinking too much -- and to share it with others. If you choose to listen, hopefully you can get some pleasure or inspiration as I did in the creation process. Another goal is to release more traditional guitar focused albums soon, a lot of which will be based on the Challenge tracks I've posted here before -- but I'd like to expand on them and formally collage them into albums.
So, a little background on these 3 albums...
Ah Maya, Pt.1
Ah Maya, Pt.2
Pt.1 started in March as a challenge for myself to make a crappy old, budget Yamaha keyboard come to life somehow. Some of you guys have already heard bits of these in another thread I posted then. All stock sounds originate from this keyboard but with a healthy dose of post processing in my DAW. Every overdub was a 1 take improv and then tweaked as needed with editing and plugins. So these were done in a 3 day period.
Pt. 2 was started last week and I finished up yesterday. Same theme.
Cerulean Impressions
More diverse than the others, a little more involved, and originally was completed last year, but I've since tweaked a few things so releasing it fresh.
Same creative approach as the other 2 albums but I used software synths instead. A lot from NI, AIR, and some 8dio.
**If anybody likes what they hear and wants a download, pm me and I'll send a gift voucher.
