about

This is a collection of calm/slow tracks I made over the last 3 years. The latest track was made a few months ago (Night Night, 807th project on my sequencer).

Over this period, some of the slow tracks I made were somewhat uplifting/"happy", and some were gloomy/dark. For this album I wanted to gather the ones on the more positive side of things. Something I could listen to to lower my blood pressure. After releasing a bunch of music generally quite intense, it was time for a change of pace.
Unlike my other stuff, it probably doesn't demand a focused listening. In fact, it's probably better to listen to it while doing something else like walking, day dreaming or taking a bath?

I don't necessarily remember the circumstances in which they were made. Half were made on the go, after a hike in the Pyreenes, in Albania on a swing (Werk AL) etc.
Whining Seerwater reminds me a bit of the digital sounding strings on Eutow by Autechre. Light & Muscially, of some stuff by Raymond Scott, or I suppose, the BBC Radiophonic workshop. Naive electronic music. Slow trickle at Nausicaa is named after an oceanographic museum. It reminded me of the ambient-ish music they had playing in some of the spaces.
The last track was initially named "lava lamp music". It was supposed to be background music that doesn't really go anywhere, good for focusing on something else. Something my wife could listen to ;)

Reverb comes from impulse responses recorded by someone else within the King's chamber, inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. If you played the dry source material within that space, it'd probably sound a bit like that.

Cover art is AI-generated but isn't so far off what I see from my window when making music, minus the giant spheres.

Instruments used: Deluge, Hydrasynth, Peak, Microfreak, and maybe Bass Station? Can't recall.
