No Evergreens, but something
Added 2019-12-12 00:47:52 +0000 UTCHey, we didn't come up with an Evergreens request this Monday and I'm not up for doing one this week: trying to gear up for the Patron-greens (or the Quills and Sofas as a musician livestream hangout?) and I'm going to need to fuss with other stuff, so today I can't do a vinyl (copyrighted, private-stream) record. I'm moving towards replacing that, again, with patron submissions streamed publically.
But I do have something, kinda? I got in a rabbithole of analyzing my last couple years of Soundcloud streams. I was trying to analyze what was working for people and what wasn't. The outcome was some better understanding of stuff that worked in different ways, and five playlists which sorta cherry-pick WAY too many hours of Chris music, to make fairly consistent 'vibes'. If you never tune into that stuff, here's an entry point.

They're Space Ambient (I promise to do more! Technically there's only two of 'em so far!), Chill (usually downtempo, generally non-grating and harmonious), Experimental (weirder and not always beat-heavy), Groove (dance or uptempo and definitely a strong beat) and Techno (always uptempo, sometimes no notes at all!) and they're picked from a library three times that size, and sorted into handy lists for you if you'd like to check out what I do on Tuesdays :)

Maybe a Christmas Gift.... I have some Articles on the composing side of things; they are all on Reverbmachine.com & a pretty good read. However not much said about the production - techniques used, except the obvious.

2019-12-27 11:23:54 +0000 UTCI don't have any of those records. I think today I'll just game-stream Counterpart and talk about that, and tomorrow I'll music-stream for Xmas morning, Well spotted though: if I did have those very first Eno ambient experiments I could indeed talk about how they were done, because I do know it :)
