I have released a new album, it is admittedly a minor one… and fully process oriented: the idea of it is the interesting bit (and it wasn’t even mine!). That said, it’s still worth a listen. It kinda reminds me of some of the Drone Forest stuff.

\nHm. Second C. Reider cover art with citrus fruits on it. I don’t know what that says about me.

\nI decided against a proper netlabel release for this one, and opted instead to release via Sound Cloud. I’ll make this available only during a short window of time until deleting it, I don’t plan to re-release it thereafter. At the time I’m writing this blog post, the whole set has only been downloaded once, only listened to about 5 or 6 times. Perhaps that will be the only activity before I delete it — that’s okay by me.

\nHere’s a link to the full set:

\nThere are 24 tracks, each roughly a minute long.

\nHere is the description I wrote, which appears on each track page:<\/p>\n

\nLongform ambient is de rigueur in netlabels these days, especially now that the freeware application Paulstretch makes it so easy to stretch short duration sounds into improbably lengthy ones.
\nFor this project, I selected the first twenty-four longform ambient pieces I came across that were both free to download and licensed allowing for remixing \/ derivative works. Those twenty four tracks were time-squeezed down to somewhere around a minute each. No other processing was done to any of the pieces.

\nIt would take over twenty six hours to listen to all of the original tracks I used as source material.

\nThis idea came directly from something David Porter said. Credit and blame goes his direction.
