Gambient ambit or ambient gambit [disquiet0556] by Tuonela published on 2022-08-29T00:07:51Z Being way out of touch and not having any idea what gabber was, I took a crash course. Turns out to be good ol’ hardcore techno! Can’t say it ever did much for me, but that’s probably just an age thing. Our own https://soundcloud.com/lityk has even been generous enough to use some of my sounds in his work, like this one: https://soundcloud.com/lityk/dronebrute and an earlier one which even came out on vinyl! https://www.discogs.com/release/8227918-Lityk-Feat-Tuonela-3-Kotti-Telepath-Subsonic-002 Anyway, many of the tracks I came across had some fascinating dynamics. I picked this one as a sound source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss8aTYJVMyw&list=PLwt1yl0k-dTevOoOXJaEOKna3WjTumUHz&index=16 ie Kesj & Donut - Total confusionz and fed it into my trusty outdated ambient v.3 software. And this, with some multi-tracking and tonal tweaking, was the result. For me, it’s ambient but still has elements of the brutal power of the original. And just 1 real beat in 5 minutes! ---------------------------------------------- The Assignment: Field-test a hybrid genre. Thanks to Sevenism for having proposed this project. Gabber and ambient music seem like polar opposites. Gabber is typified by a constant distorted kick drum pummelling you at upwards of 200bpm. Ambient, on the other hand, can be deeply immersive or barely noticeable. This project asks the question: is “gabber ambient” possible? Step 1: Consider what makes gabber gabber and what makes ambient ambient. Where is there crossover? Step 2: Make a track that could be construed as “gabba ambient.” Step 3: You’re probably going to want to delete it. Try not to. Save and upload.

Haha. 2022-08-30T21:16:40Z Comment by GrevusAnjl It's been a while, my friend. I forgot how easily I get lost in these musical taffy pull works of yours. :) 2022-08-30T21:15:20Z Comment by Wynn Schaible Queen's Gambit Declined, or, landing on Mercury. 2022-08-30T01:20:35Z Comment by name constant junto projects nice drone 2022-08-29T21:43:06Z Comment by No Mates Ensemble awesome 2022-08-29T00:41:32Z
