You know how slow everything becomes when you are waiting for someone, somewhere or something you’ve been missing. This simple dark piece represents how I feel right now.

Something tonight led me down this path again. I can’t be sure what. If you didn’t have a short wave radio in the seventies (when I was a little lad) listening in to either the ‘number stations’ or the musical interludes of closed radio stations, this piece won’t make any sense. Personally, I could loop this for hours and drift off.

The past few days have been a little stressful. Day job problems, the tail-end of a really bad cold and being apart from my girlfriend too long, not really conducive to creating stuff.

Last night/early this morning I finally felt the urge to make something. My cold has heightened my tinnitus so I decided to create a drone-like piece to accompany it. For those of you with good ears, I have included a representation of how it all comes together for me.

At 25 minutes long, it might take a while to download.

Sorry for my silence and lack of new ambient. Work has gone v.pear shaped for me. Back making stuff as soon as I solve the problem.

Sleep won’t come easily. My cold isn’t shifting quite as quickly as I’d like. In my drowsy state, I decided to see what sounds I could conjure up from my PC. I think I made a simple ode to a fading red giant. It’s what I imagine it to be, anyhow.

This little thing was born out of late night noodling. Sometimes I find myself making something that I can use to reach sleep. This piece, with its slow outro, did a good job doing just that.

Feeling a lot better today.

For the past few days I’ve been stuck with a bad cold, headaches, sore throat… pretty much the works. Another bad night of sleep led me to making this simple piece in the early hours. It’s not very complex, but at least it’s a little something that allows me to express how low I am feeling, but with the knowledge that I should be starting to feel better over the next few days. Forgive the rather grimy mix, my ears are not quite right either.

I hate lost weekends.

This is a very long and gently undulating drone. It will not suit all tastes as, at an hour long, it may prove tough to stay with. To get the most from it, you really need to use headphones, at about 60% volume.

The strange effect that my method has produced sounds as if I have mixed up some orchesteral samples or other small passages of music. I hear moments of classical strings, choral vocals, bells and cymbals fading in and out. However, the sound sources were six instances of self-generating noise machines. These were heavily effected and then stretched out from an initial five minutes to the hour long version here.

Comes only in 320kbps form as the artifacts on a 96kbps version were too prominent at times. I love long pieces of sound to float away on. I hope some of you do also?

I’m not feeling great today, my throat is really tender and closed up. This is how it sounds to me.
