Your pointless thoughts & observations

Or you just sample a bell. 

duh

Or you get Kaivo

what if you recorded yurself playing grand theft auto, and then you recorded the recording being played back on really shit vinyl, and then you put it on bandcamp under the name the cartaker

so many words...

What happened to the MF DOOM thread in the Music Discussion forum...?

it was a typo.. was supposed to say "i'm skeptical of ball sounds" 

srsly though was just tiny venting about one specific thing.  this is how ambient rants bubble up. 

An ASMR record label exists.

lol

man being signed to an asmr record label must suck

exec: *breathy whisper into microphone* hey paul, just want to let you know that your sales went...really good this year...reallly........reeeaallly, just....so good

artist: oh, great

exec: yeeeah....i've even got *sound of paper being torn* a very special *notebook flipping* paycheque *pen scratching* a big paycheque just for you, mister

artist: ...

exec: ........and buddy, you deserve it

artist: hey can we speed this up a bit? i left my kids in the car with the windows up because I saw goa producers hanging out in the parking lot

exec: *breathes heavil* jingle jangle, that's the sound of coins dancing in my pocket, dancing just for you paulllll

If ASMR recording doesn't have any talking could it be actually classified as lowercase ambient and when does it cross over to field recordings?

i mean for real tho why does every asmr channel feel like when you come across a deviantart page with weird, seemingly-innocuous drawings & a bunch of comments that read like they were written with one hand

@zkomI like this idea of "lowercase ambient", or an ambient spectrum. i've had the same thought with ambient & noise music. Sometimes you'll have "noise" which uses many harmonic elements (like the band Black Dice), or "ambient" which happens to be made out of musical sounds but still makes for a very noisey, freeform listening experience (like early OPN records just being these untamed sprawling vistas of arpeggiated synth riffs)

I feel like there's some crossover potential between the various ASMR videos, "Star Trek TNG bridge sounds for 8 hours" videos, minimalist ambient, noise music and field recordings that could be totally novel. Maybe throw in some minimalist techno also.

ooh i can picture it. i'm thinking something in the spirit of a long DJ, but much more variable in nature owing the the fact that it isn't confined to specific contexts like the dancefloor or a study session. it could go wherever it wanted to go, for as long as it wanted to go: several hours of sparse field recordings followed by an album's worth of ambient compositions, followed by freeform noise, followed by spoken word narration, etc. And it would all be mixed together in such a way that you could never quite tell where the "music" parts began or ended

That guy that does ASMR and just eats stuff makes me feel like I'm very much capable of murder.

How is this any different from early OPN ?

a mystery mod merged the rip doom thread with a catch-all daniel dumile thread.. so i guess we can continue the dumile tributes there

I'm not sure, because I've never really heard anything by OPN that would sound similar to what I'm thinking. Care to throw some examples?

What I'm thinking is something like this, if this makes any fucking sense outside my own head, lol:

Desribing Bodies is minimalist ambient, Nil Ad Mirari is noise, Format and Journey North has field recordings (among many other tracks of his), and pretty much all of it sounds like spaceship noises, but a fine example is When I Get Back from New York.

Yeah, I start to get what you mean. I'm not familiar with most of that stuff. I was thinking about something way less melody oriented. Maybe no chords, definitely no arpeggios like in When I Get Back from New York. Something much more akin to Forms of Paper by Steve Roden in terms minimalism instead of long droning chords. Tiny short microscopic sounds enhanced.

honestly for most electronic music of any genre (my own included) I feel like I want to engage with it spatially rather than temporarily. IE the music feels constrained by being fixed to a single linear flow, and infinite generative gimmicks usually don't quite do it for me either. Rather I want to experience the track like it's an environment that I'm in, with no clear beginning, end, or fixed direction. As I walk around the room different aspects fade or come to prominence. Clusters of sound parameters that can be picked up like objects & moved around, modifying the environment in various ways.

I feel like this is why I generally prefer making music to listening to it. The feeling is more atemporal - hearing the same sounds on loop hundreds of times, modifying them constantly on the fly, seems to lend itself more to that exploratory environmental feeling rather than that linear narrative feeling (which does work for certain kinds of music, like say a complex classical composition or a lyrical song that literally tells a story).

pointless observation: this japanese mountaineer climbed mount fuji and took his old super famicom with him
