Ripples in Spacetime

GeoTony

I’m never convinced by my own ambient explorations but here goes…
9 * King of FM (thanks @AnalogMatthew ) and one Ravenscoft 275 played by Piano Motifs.
8 * LFOH and one Rozeta LFO manipulating everything.
2 * Spirangle, 3 * FAC Alteza and 2 * TB Reverb squishing everything.

I'm totally convinced by this one.

I have to agree with @jo92346 . This is nice. I need to try something like this. Every time I do, I just get in my own way and turn it into something else. I might try PaulXStretch. I like the name.

Well done!

I’ve liked “ambient music” for quite a while. In the 90s there was a radio show called Music from the Hearts of Space that I often listened to while reading.
But that’s the odd thing about ambient; as the name suggests, it doesn’t seem meant for close listening like most music. So it can’t be judged quickly or easily. I noticed that there were some ambient recordings that seemed okay at first but after repeated listening I’d feel some unpleasant undercurrent that bothered me. But then there were some that seemed to help and enhance my concentration on reading.

If I noticed the ambient too much, then it wasn’t good but distracting. It’s like wallpaper; you don’t want it to get your attention.

So making ‘good’ ambient music seems like a special skill that I’ve never learned.
Your piece passed the test because I had it on while reading and that worked.

Yes, exactly. I just listened to your "fear itself" track and there's just too much 'music' in there and so can't really be ambient in my book. It seemed more like soundtrack music.

I have to agree, but old habits die hard. I need to learn to just let go. Maybe on the next one.
