Dark & dubby ambient things

I've been making some ambient tracks in the past few months. Posting them here.. Comments welcome.

very soothing soundscape, the richard devinish sounds are really pretty and the atmosphere has a great ambience, love the mix of sidechained reversed subbass sounds with the comp flutter,r eally has a good glitchy edge to it, that echoing sound is really shapeshifter style, but also like burial with that rain sound, really good!

Hehe, thanks! I've been playing around with sidechaining in other tracks too to make the sounds sculpt each other.

That's beautiful, indeed a bit dark, and a teenie bit like some of the newer Black Dog stuff

Thanks, man. I was planning for the track to be moody but I realized it was actually pretty dark after I listened it later. Some demons in my head.

Here's another one ready. Bit more droney perhaps.

Finally had time to continue. This has some more environmental sounds.

Hey, great sounds.

What are you using for field recording?

REALLY liked the first track you posted...

Liked the second one too... that bass. I somehow think you could make that song hit harder even still.

And the last track rivals the first in how much I like it. Reminds me of Vladislav Delay kind of. I think you could make it crustier, hazier, more fuzzy. The bass maybe was too present?

Anyways keep it up, good good stuff

Yes, I still need to practice my mixing. I struggle to find a good balance, especially between how it sounds on the headphones and speakers.

I added some crust by looping one of the instruments through an old crappy tape recorder in the first track. :) I may do that more in future. Putting the master through the same process was a bit over the top though.

Alrighty then. Here's the last one from the series. This is a bit more surreal or something.

I put all the tracks as a downloadable EP in bandcamp: https://vuovuovuo.bandcamp.com/album/border

re: vuo. I'm kind of a sucker for rain sounds, but am always disappointed when it isn't integrated well. I like the way the rain was used as a soundscape and then becomes percussive at the end. Now I want it to go full circle and go into a hard drum section and the rain is used as a snare/crash.

Now there's an idea. :) Thanks.
