What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

Horror soundtracks are the greatest!!

Ok cool, I just assumed that anyone ensconced in the world of 12 tone/new music/etc would be sick of people hearing their compositions as dissonant horror movie music :)

good enough for colin stetson!

i think horror music is the best. i even started a thread about it! horror soundtracks

Ha, there was a new person at orchestral rehearsal tonight who I'm suspecting is not that used to playing new music. At the end, she commented that "it sounded a bit like a horror movie soundtrack". I asked "the last piece?" She replied "all of them".

Sund4r, I love that stuff. It reminds me of some of that really odd "American primitive" stuff from the late 70s. There was an album by Peter Finger that I recall having a lot of that really sparse harmonic exploration in it. I have no idea about the logistics of that stuff, but I absolutely love the tonality of it. I don't think of it as "horror film" music (probably because I don't watch many films and never have); more like "overcast sky" music — which is a mood I like very much.

As for me, everything else is gone, but don't worry.

wow Peter Finger has got to be one of the grossest names I've heard in a while

Oh wow, thanks. Glad people are enjoying it. I love a lot of American Primitive guitar so that connection is cool. Don't know Peter Finger, though, so thanks for the link.

Although I can be very affected by instrumental music, what I get from it often has to do with abstract sensations and images, not necessarily something that I can associate directly with specific and concrete irl experiences, unless, of course, I have been listening to something for a long time, when I do connect the music to memories. I'm happy to see listeners make connections to moods or scenarios that mean something to them.

I just listened to "don't worry" and enjoyed it. Pleasant mood and grooves, nice guitar tones.

You are an absolute model human being and I owe you something significant.🤟

doing the soundtrack for another exhibition tonight, this one is titled "The Aesthetics Of Decay." I don't know if I'm going to do another collaboration like this again - they're a wonderful bunch but their vision is a lot darker and bleaker than the music I want to be making. But I'm really happy with how this has turned out - it would have been really easy and obvious to make a Ben Frost/Tim Hecker rip-off, but instead I've made 24 minutes of spacious ambient music that sounds like this.

That sounds cool, love all the bell tones and delays, and that it's not all drones and pads.

Nice

i recorded a little melodic doodle of me singing + playing drums because i wanted to hear what i sounded like singing and playing at the same time. definitely borrowed melodies from alex chilton & neil young so i named it accordingly https://soundcloud.com/marshmallowy/outofthepool

idk i am posting because i was afraid to, which was a sign to me that i should do it?

i listened and i think it sounds great!

thank you crüt! <3

Honestly idk what I sound like — I’ve been playing for 6 years. I think I can do a few things maybe surprisingly well and other things not at all. My general musical experience has not prepared me to self-assess; based on my life experience, its sort of like language development when it’s at the intermediate stage. I need to practice with other people to stretch and build vocabulary and fluency. That I’m aware of. Beyond that, I’m unable to assess.

I’ve uploaded audio and video recordings of a guitar festival performance from August. This is pretty close to the version of the piece I’m completing a studio recording of for an album I hope to release next year.

working on the next long player. have a few songs so far, but this is my favorite so far.

Here's a little synths & samples groove I put together over the past few days:

One of the game soundtracks I sang on (as an ensemble member) has appeared in the wild:

This one has been around for a while but I only just noticed it now:

Nice Dan! Boss fight music.

i've often thought that the only actual application of my music would be as video game music. but even that makes me really uncomfortable nd seems quite a stretch anyway.

sund4r: i like this. maybe this is because it's what i've been into lately, but it reminds me vaguely of glenn branca.

finished the album over the weekend, by the way. i'm really happy with how it turned out: https://austinato.bandcamp.com/album/lasso-lp6

There's a new HEP LAD live album. Weirdo synth jams abound.

Thanks, Austin. That's definitely not a comparison I would complain about. I will check your release out.

New single out today! You can hear me playing the Wurli if you listen close.

Nice tune and arrangement

Thanks! That's pretty much all Οὖτις.

the band i play with is releasing an album soon and i am on one song!

however i am still determined to improve my ability to play/record solo so here is a doodle containing the unlikely plural marriage of a maraca, a recorder, a drumset, and me :)

In other news, I've been working on a dance music project (house, breaks, other) with a couple of other guys and we finally have a bunch of stuff to release. This is the b-side of our first EP, which will come out right before New Year's. I was playing around with randomizing the arpeggiator type every couple of bars which results in a never-ending cycle of patterns. It's a bunch of Ableton instruments, and then some Behringer Model D on pads and a different arpeggiator.

hey, 'the world is wrong' is really good! sounds like uncle tupelo!

Thanks! Full album out in January.

very excited about this being completed. have put a lot of work into it and i think we've finally figured out how to get a semi-decent sounding recording out of the gear we're using. it's not bob clearmountain or rudy van gelder or anything, but at least it doesn't sound like we're recording in an old shoebox anymore. i selected 'avery park' as the "highlighted" song, but only because it's short. i know it's a really long album, so if you just want to check out one thing, my favorite track is the new version of 'spectral three' (track 12).

Against all odds, actual music came out of my brain and was performed by me alone earlier this week and here it is (drums, tiny cymbals I borrowed from a band I played in a couple years ago, and a cowbell that used to belong to my drum teacher) 💕💜💕
