LUX.5

Tags

Ambient

For any Brian Eno fans out there…or fans of his ambient work, LUX, here’s something I was playing around with over this past weekend…adding some reverse, reverb & echo effects…& then splicing in another track (itself morphed via audacity) from Marsen Jules’ excellent The Empire of Silence, Empire Silencio.

The volume on the Jules track is lowered to the point of providing a subtle background of synthetic strings to accompany Eno’s piano & treatments.

This is part of a larger, upcoming mix project for which I am crafting smaller audio segments, So here is…LUX.5, which fits nicely with the original LUX album.

Plæntágose, by S i J

relaxedMACHINERY is proud to announce the release of “Plæntágose”, the newest work from veteran Russian ambient and electronic composer, SiJ.

This album is released on the rM Bandcamp page, as current sanctions against Crimea prevent Vlad Sikach (the man behind the music) from having a PayPal account. All proceeds from the sale of the album will go directly to the artist…somehow.

Meditari, by Graham McArthur

Software synths & pads never sounded so…good.

Make Your Own Taste

by Tim Clarke

(Editor’s note: I could not be happier to have this wonderful article on my site. Tim Clarke, a fine musician himself [see the Bandcamp link above or his site] has written one of the finest pieces you will find online on King Crimson’s music. Enjoy! —Allister)

In October 1978, I made a seemingly inconsequential decision. It was a decision that I had been mulling over for a month or so. The question was “Should I buy the album with the grotesque red and blue face, or not?” The album was In the Court of the Crimson King and the decision was made that much harder by the fact that I had never heard any of King Crimson’s music, and by the complete ignorance of the group’s music by radio stations and the contemporary music press at that time. None of my mates had heard King Crimson…

Sutseahpeh [bonus track]

A Hat-Tip to Headphone Commute, who hipped me wise to this album:
Music for Viola and Electronics II, by Michel Banabila & Oene van Geel; glitchy, caustic & classically experimental.

After listening, I fired up the Audacity engine & crafted a bonus track, entitled ‘Sutseahpeh‘.

Lanterna + George Wallace + Vic Hennegan – 14 November 2015 FREE ADMISSION As much a student as he is a master George Wallace uses the techniques of the prominent to assert his own identity. There are wonderful passages presenting a relaxed and unpressured atmosphere. Ceremonial synth chords, atmospheric lead lines and ringing bowls offer subtle depths and graceful stillness – yet there are other areas where thunderclaps, chanting monks, primeval rhythms and overdrive guitar heighten our attentiveness to new ideas. Wallace’s music all flows together powerfully. Whether we relate to this music as Ambient, Space, New Age or World Fusion, it is difficult not to respond to it. As Lanterna, Henry Frayne connects his achievements in post-punk and shoegazer “dream pop” with moods drawn from spaghetti westerns and ambient isolationists. His albums of primarily guitar-based instrumentals move between the soothing, the unsettling and the fiery. Frayne often explores the possibilities of playing his instrument through the endless delay of digital processors. His rich and detailed performances bounce around our interior, co-mingling with our mind. Thought of as “instrumentals that speak”, Lanterna provides an entire landscape of sound, created with but a single guitar. Vic Hennegan is part of a brotherhood that spans continents and centuries. Influenced by innovative works and acts dating back to the pioneers of Electronic Music, Hennegan’s endeavors trace a through line – beginning with the birth of synthesizers, and the first music made in a lab, to pulsing sequencer Spacemusic atmospheres, and the fusion of anthemic pop/rock laced global grooves. From spellbinding anthems to passages of intimate revelations, the music hits deep. George Wallace + Lanterna + Vic Hennegan return to The Gatherings Concert Series on 14 November 2015 at 8:00PM. This event offers Free Admission – with donations accepted at the door. Thanks for Your Generosity!!!.
