Ichi-Go Ichi-E (naviarhaiku #580) Composed for Naviar Haiku Challenge #580: quiescence! / touching not the blossoms / temple bell's voice

Been a while since I last released anything, so what better than joining up for my first Naviar haiku challenge? soundcloud.com/taf42/ichi-g...

So I got a really nice PM in Soundcloud today, praising my music. For a moment I felt really good, until I realised I was logged onto my work account, which is a podcast channel with no music. #spam

The Passed Radio Show - Episode 9 YouTube video by Passed Recordings

Chuffed to see that my track "The Watcher" from my last album is featured in the latest radio show by Passed Recordings, and as an opener, no less! #ambientradio #ambient

Well, catholicism had three popes at the same time at one point, but otherwise we're in agreement.

The thing I love about Nina Simone is that she will sing until within an inch of losing control, her voice occasionally cracks and she veers off pitch, but I believe every. single. word. she sings. Unlike, say, Ella Fitzgerald, who is always in complete control. Perfect, but never interests me much.

I have a vivid memory from watching Shrek on the premiere, and groaning when Hallelujah came on. Had the song already been used in TV series at that point, or did that come later? You couldn't throw a rock and not hit that song for a few years there.

First post to Blue Sky... is a black sky. Figures. :P

Soundtrack ~ Cliff Martinez ~ Solaris (2002) ~ 01 ~ Is That What Everybody Wants YouTube video by Filthyfun666

Any love for one of the best ambient movie soundtracks of all time? I spent so much time listening to Cliff Martinez' excellent score - perfect blend of electronic and acoustic instruments, and hypnotic like you won't believe.

Refractions, by VOiD / Tore Aune Fjellstad 8 track album

The Bandcamp randomiser looks great, already stumbled across some gems that I'd never have found otherwise!
I'll just leave this here: void.bandcamp.com/album/refrac...

Thank you so much! No guitar in this, I don't even own an ebow. :P I tinkered around with a rhodes-like preset one day, which became the starting point. After that, it was just a matter of choosing textures and layer them around the rhodes, much like a sculptor would add layers to a skeleton.

Lol, "You're a librarian? How lucky! I wish I could read all day!"
"...yeah. Me too."

Does anyone still really believe this, though?

Thank you! I am, in fact, proud - although I'll only grudgingly admit to it. :P

Conversely, Tove Jansson's Gollum is... confusing. :P

Reflections, by VOiD / Tore Aune Fjellstad from the album Reflections

Unlike many others here, I am not a band, nor is this a "song"... but I've been wanting to write long-but-interesting, changing, atmospheric ambient music for as long as I remember, and on this track, I kinda... did it.

Modular | Ambient playlist YouTube video by TAF Ambient

One of the things I like to do is to seek out new ambient music and put together themed playlists. This is one of them, lotsa analog and melodic sounds to help warm up your day: youtu.be/NEwwCiSQMHM

First post, yay!
Finding and discovering new music is my main aim on this channel, so I'll contribute with my last album, released a little over a year ago. It features warm, calm, analog soundscapes reminiscent of Brian Eno: void.bandcamp.com/album/refrac...
