Avaelin - Lost in a Sea of Stars
New song. Extremely dissatisfied with it to be honest, but I haven’t put anything up here in a while. I’m sure I’ll end up just removing every trace of this one eventually. It’s spacey, the beat is not interesting (when there is one) and the textures or not dynamic enough. But perhaps some of you will enjoy it.
Lame video. Ignore it and just listen to the song.
This song makes the nostalgia crash up against me in waves. Just turn it up, dim the lights, close your eyes, and fly someplace else.
Generally this blog exists to promote my own stuff, but everyone should check out TC and his spacemusic podcast. A lot of the ideas I have for my creative endeavors have their roots anchored in time spent chilling out to ambient music. The newest post features the new album by Terraambient, which is pretty phenomenal. Check it out, give a listen to some of this stuff. You’ll get a good idea of where I am coming from.
What’s the point of waiting
For life to come
I could go further
And no one’s surprised
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart.
Avaelin - Never Enough
Tried some things here. It might just sound like you are in an echo chamber though. I’m mostly please with it. You might notice the song is a bit unsure of itself. It wants to get louder and harder but ends up just mellowing back down. I suppose this is what happens when i write in little pieces and in very different moods. Enjoy.
Avaelin - Thanks for Everything
More of an idea than a song. I couldn’t settle on a melody, and in the end I think I might have to rig up my harp and record it directly instead of sequencing it. General feelings of resignation and regret with a topping or sarcasm and a dollop of irony.
Avaelin - Moving
Not quite satisfied with this one yet. Here is what exists so far though. I do like the end. As for unoriginal things in this one, the guitar loop at the end is the only thing not written by me. The repeated single guitar string strum is also a sample. Its sort of a spring time song i suppose. Hammered instruments always get me in that mind set, thanks to Tortoise’s TNT album, which I discovered in high school.
Avaelin - Blue Note
New song. It sort of ended up sounding a bit like ‘exploring an icy cavern in japanese rpg bgm’, but I’m fairly pleased with it. If you are getting this through my RSS feed on Facebook or whatever, the song won’t show up, so if you want to listen you actually have to NAVIGATE TO MY BLOG HOLY CRAP.
Make sure to listen with headphones or decent speakers, otherwise the trebly bits on the drums get too loud. This will be the last song before I return from Hawai’i.
Avaelin - Lies
I can’t figure out if the title refers to lies I tell myself, or lies that are told to me. Pizzicato strings in an echo champer, with harps and bells. It might be a bit pedestrian, but I was trying to go with what I was feeling at the time. I suppose its not terrible for being one of hte first songs I’ve written in ages.
