Daily Ambient

oh really? i hosted it on dropbox instead of tumblr as it only allows 10mb a day. :p ill fix it. thanks for the.heads up.

haha, the setup isn't too bad. *waiting for the baby call solo*

haha that exactly describes my life right now.

Sometimes the dropbox hosted file dont work randomly. Sorry if anyone tried ti listen to 11 in the past 8 hours or so. Should be working now.

Also i submitted the feed yesterday to itunes so it should appear in podcast form soon too. :}

Now on day 14.

This is actually really challenging. I'm still digging it though. I find my whole process and descision making changing to be a lot more effecient and decisive. This is actually one of the main reasons I started this thing. :) This had really become an excersize in restraint.

Fuckers at iTunes still haven't accepted the podcast though.

man, i don't know if its you or me cause i can't listen to any of them now. i figured that it was just a quick problem you had to fix but ever since the format change i no longer can listen to any of them. i click play and they just don't start. which really makes me sad cause i want to hear these.

:-( i have no idea what's wrong. ill look into it today... maybe its that playlist player i put there.

OK I changed the player. Does it work better now? The other one was doing some strange things, like creating 2 player buttons and stuff. Also what browser do you use?

Thanks for the heads up man.

The player is working fine for me.

woo, i can hear it again! Im using Firefox.

OK ya it was most likely due to that exfm player. I swapped it for the AOL one hahahaha. I'm starting to get like 30 page views a day! woo hoo! Tumblr is perfect for this kind of thing really. I just wish they had a nicer player. Oh well. It works. Still no go on the podcast though. I submitted it like 10 days ago now D:

Nice! Is that justin bieber singing?

haha no but paulstretch is rad. Feels like cheating since it's like an instant ambient machine haha. It's a free sound sample. Free sound is also quite rad. I think I might go buy a cheap field recorder this week. ;p

Man it's getting tough making tracks everyday. I start running out of tricks and it really makes me dig deep to try new things.

You don't have to stick to ambient of course :) I haven't listened to them all but it sounds very atmospheric. And nice.

I think I will try to keep it all at the very least atmospheric. The ambient format is nice though as it really frees you from having to worry about song structure. I think I'll be doing some beaty stuff later in the summer though as I have a couple of used Electribes waiting on me in the states. :)

i've been enjoying this for the most part man. definitely an interesting undertaking, good to see you're sticking with it too. i know that's gotta be hard to find time for.

i chuckled when i saw this:

Day 18

Where green meets grey.

Gear Used:

• Numerology
  

 

man these tracks continue to blow me away.

haha why did you laugh at Numerology? You probably thought I was divining some numbers or something, when in fact it's only modular sequencing. :D

It's awesome. :P

Thanks for the complement Frankie! It's tough keeping them fun and listenable.

Also, I now have a podcast stream! >> http://bit.ly/DApodcast

Enjoy!

Having a lull in motivation currently. Not gonna stop though! It's really tough to keep it going at an intense level.

Made a vid yesterday for day 15's track.

still loving this...

don't stop!!

I'm not stopping :)

I did post a track a few hours late the other day though D:

Still on track. :)

I'll be traveling to the states soon, so that trip will create some interesting logistical issues haha. My laptop is barely powerful enough to run 2 plugins at the same time hahah. I've been only using it for recording, but I'll have to branch out during that trip lol. I think I might record a bunch of stuff I can loop and just use those pieces to bang something together on the plane. I must say though a plane is the probably the best place to make ambient music :D

Thanks for following along!

Just started using Spiral for Reaktor. It's so easy to make nice sounding stuff with it it's almost like cheating hahaha.

Almost on day 50!

most of these are really good. You were going to put the best one on an album when you were finished, right?
