Full version of "Track · 200408" is now live. Calm, organic, weird melodic ambient:

This time some noise; recorded yesterday.

Quite different from what I usually do, apparently it was time for some weird sounds.

One of my favourite tracks from my last album.
Slow, calm, organic.

Visualisation done in #ffmpeg. Full audio: https://merelysounds.bandcamp.com/track/track-200226

Experimenting with #ffmpeg , day 2.

Apparenty it's possible to dynamically modulate #ffmpeg filter parameters. This way my previous video could e.g. change colours or generate even weirder shapes. But the setup looks complex, I'm not sure I'd be able to do it. http://dragonquest64.blogspot.com/2019/02/ffmpeg-dynamic-adjustment-of-filters.html

Album idea: experimental but very organised. Basically, weird sounds structured in an unusual way; like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_tiling#/media/File:P5-type5_rice_p6.png but with notes.

I don't have access to my synth at the moment, so there won't be any recording sessions in the next days.

It feels good to take a break. Also, I've just released an album, so it feels appropriate to pause for a while.

First album now live! Melodic ambient, calm synth voices that slowly blend, listen here:

Random sounds, very calm.

First blog post, "Goals for recording": http://merely.xyz/#goals-for-recording

Some thoughts about what helps me stay in the flow when recording new tracks.

Also, an update to my homepage - it finally has a "blog" section.

#mastomusic #goals #audio #musicproduction #homepage

My old keyboard broke down and now I have a new one. At the same time I decided to try a new text editor (trying spacemacs as a vim user). And I wanted to write a blog post.

Predictably, there is no blog post, I got stuck on the first sentence.

There might be a blog post in a hopefully not too distant future.

And here are some codes for early access, redeem at: http://merelysounds.bandcamp.com/yum

Let me know if you were too late to grab a code, I'll send a new one.

My 1st album ("Album - 200226") goes live on May 19th, on streaming services and Bandcamp. It took me a lot of work to finish it. And honestly, there are lots of better albums out there. Still, it's my milestone and completing it brings me lots of joy. #newmusic #mastomusic

I haven't posted new music in a while. Here's a short melodic ambient jam, more to come 🎶
