lepeep Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 so many, it's crazy...I've got a pal (Mike Palace), who is "horchata", and his free soundscape / ambient lp ("Isolated House") is available here : www.darkwinter.com it's several tracks made up of field recordings from an old burnt out house...ace for falling asleep to. Click on the "Audio" link, and look at how much "music" you can download for boogerall. If you like that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Strong Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'll give this a try, but hmm. I'm always a bit skeptical of people that talk about 'field recordings'. Two note drone with someone opening a can reversed and put through 7 filters is pretty much the easiest way to 'make' music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that a lot of "ambient music" does seem easy to make, but the good stuff should make you feel something other than an expectation to disect the thing you are hearing?

What i said wasn't a diss at ambient music as a whole - i do love a lot of it. A lot of the earlier Kranky stuff like Labradford, SotL and Windy and Carl, and most of the Type recs roster who show the prettier side of things, are great. It just seems of late everyone and their cat are releasing a limited edition '4 hours horror drone recorded in an abandoned house accompanied by swells produced from standing on an empty Ribena carton ', on double tape by a weird German label with a run of 25.

But, Mike Palace is (and always has been) an excellent producer of dark ambient soundscapes, in fact, his "beat stuff" is no where near as good as his use of field recordings and drones. And I think all the "everyone's and their dogs" are on that list of free tracks!....I've no idea where to start, for fear of downloading hours of the same "droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss". But I would reccomend a listen to at least one of the Horchata tracks (but I am bias, seeing as I've worked with Mike on Videos and "tunes" before) YouTube - horchata - cyst (a beat song...after all that!)

Teabags Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks for that. I really like it.No thanks however for suggesting that it's good to fall asleep to. Woke up at 4AM after dreams of releasing paedophiles on kids, having my cock cut off and actually thinking the coat hanging from my door was a homocidal-paedophile standing in my room.
