Any resemblance of this short tune to the hallucinogenic haze and then blinding clarity that may or may not be associated with ingestion of legally-grey-area strains of sage are purely coincidental. That it’s this accurate is a little scary.
What’s even more annoying is that the original composition file is corrupt, and therefore this tune is DONE. Hate that.

Yeah, it’s a crap name. And yeah, I also know that “real” drone musicians don’t fuck around with little piddly 2 minute tracks.
I think I’m getting tired of making this sort of music. Time to make something else.

Yes, I did an ambient remix of Triskele. I do that to pretty much everything these days. It came out… kind of unsettling. I like it.

YES I missed posting in June SHUT UP.
So, I was in a music making mood and started playing “limit the artist” with a friend of mine over g-chat, and here’s the limitation list we worked out:
- ambient
- abstract
- instrumental
- chillout
- spirals
- celtic triskele
- the number 3
All that, plus she sent me this:
So, we were off to the races. I banged that image through my image-readin’ plugin, twiddled some nobs, tried to conform to the list, and pretty music came out.
I’m so excited to see what the comment spam on this episode will be!

Wow. This track is a last for a lot of things. It’s the last Ambient Chaser. It’s the last of the Vistas tracks that I can find. It’s also the last of the daily posts for a little while.
Time is odd in a way. These tracks you’ve been listening to for the last 20 days were made over the course of the last two and a half years. On March 24th, I took the day off and spent it getting all these tracks ready and uploaded and posted. You are going to hear this work in the future. The internet does that.
Anyway, I’m rather fond of this simple little track. I like how the reflecting delays come back, and the tune is nice.
Braindouche! out. Catch you in May, probably.

Oh look, more unremarkable one-instrument ambient. I’m so glad I stopped doing this. Not gunna stop be from publishing, though.

Yes, it’s more ambient from the Vistas project that never went anywhere. Yesterday was annoying electronica, today is your ambient chaser. Two more annoying electronicas remain, two more ambient chasers, and then no more daily podcasts for a while, ya dig?

When I released Festival Of Lights, I said I would try to remake it with less drums, because the drums end up getting bass all over everything, and that made it weird and boomy in the middle.
So here we are, I’ve redone it, and I don’t like it. There’s a new, plasticy hum thing going on that I don’t know where it came from and it’s just gross and I’m not sure how to get rid of it. But nonetheless, I’ve done it, I’m sharing it.
The first take is almost always the best one, folks. Words to live by.

Carl Sagan said, at some point, that we are all made of “star stuff”, but he either didn’t really say it or he said that sort of thing a lot , because I haven’t been able to find a definitive quote.
Anyway, Carl Sagan also did Cosmos, and Cosmos had a whole boatload of delightfully cheese spaced out synth music, and this is my crack at it. It’s a wacky combination of the MIDI-est strings I could find, a free 2-oscilator synth I found online and programmed myself for that extra incompetence in the neer-neer-neer sounds, and the background drone is a sample from the second episode where Carl says “astonishingly different”. Because I could.
