Hi, thanks a lot. Yeah it was fun trying to layer all the synths and get it sounding good with just two notes. I'm thinking about doing a piece sometime that only allows you to use two fingers in playing any instruments. The two finger challenge, what do you reckon lol.

Love the drum kick at 1.46 and lovely keys, too - v soothing

koga100 6th Jan 2024 05:17 - 2 years ago

Absolutely enjoyable. Especially great for focusing

Hi there, thanks a lot for listening and commenting. It's nice when people do that. I'll try to return the favour sometime but kind of busy at the moment :(

Dude I've yet to hear something of yours that I don't listen to from beginning to end. Idk what it is, your work is always interesting to me. I always check out anything u post, I've got so much on my plate that I can't come here and check out everyones work as much as I'd like, but I'm not going anywhere, either. Keep doing what u do, and I'll keep being a fan. -Aaron

Zootman replied 5th Jan 2024 - 2 years ago

Hi man, thanks so much. I reckon you did well to get to the end of this one, it's probably the most boring thing I've done lol. Nah, actually I like it, I find it quite meditative. Anyway that's a lovely comment. I wonder if you've started the new job yet.... If so I hope it's all you hoped it would be. All the best bro.

It's been a while since I listened to some atmospheric music. I have to say, the beauty of this track makes me want to binge-listen to some more. The eerie yet emotional dynamic you were able to achieve with this one is impressive and reminded me of the video game "Firewatch". The background electric sounds you added towards the end, fit well and only added to the simplistic rush, you've managed to create! A+ work, adding to my favs.

Zootman replied 30th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Hi there, thanks so much for the listen and comment, and especially the fav! Sounds like you understood what I set out to do with this one. I always listen to your tracks and enjoy them - always enjoyable, interesting and very professional. Cheers from Down Under.

Nice track! It's good to see some ambient music on here. I especially like the end, i think it adds to the structure. Happy new year!

Zootman replied 30th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Hello, the end was a happy accident from some of the fx processing I had on it. I like accidents and chance in music. thanks for the listen and comment, and happy new year to you too.

Dennel 15th Dec 2023 01:58 - 2 years ago

Hello, though I'm unfamiliar with the composer / composition in which you base your creation on. I do get what you were trying to convey and in doing so I must say that I enjoyed your track, your thought process, and the gerne you chose to express the composition trough.

Great job,

Dennel

Zootman replied 22nd Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Yes, him and Terry Riley were pioneers of minimalist ambient, following on from John Cage and others. Appreciate the listen and comment as always. Cheers Chris

weston63 14th Dec 2023 19:03 - 2 years ago

Hi Chris very nice hope your well. keep it up mate

Zootman replied 22nd Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Kia ora Nick, thanks a lot. Tried to do something a bit different, not sure it worked, but worth a try. Hope you have a good Christams and new year my friend. Cheers Chris

theHumps 14th Dec 2023 04:53 - 2 years ago

Cool, I like stuff that isn't "off the rack", stuff that shows some ingenuity and not afraid to try something different. To me, the drums should have been a bit louder, more impactful.

Let the creative juices flow brother!

Wayne

Zootman replied 22nd Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Hey Wayne, thanks for the listen and feed back mate. Yes, I should probably come back to this and up the drums a little in the mix. Hope you have a great Christmas break my friend. Chris

Verdiqo 12th Dec 2023 15:18 - 2 years ago

Greetings, Although i do love ambient tracks. This one sounded a bit blank and monotonous for my own personal taste. Still i understand what you were trying to do here. So for that kuddos. Also it could use some proper mixing as well. Besides that still a ok track to listen to. With kind regards, Verdi

Zootman replied 22nd Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Hi Verdi, thanks for the honest feedback. Might come back and tweak the mix. Cheers and seasons greetings, Zoot.

CINCOCENT 12th Dec 2023 08:29 - 2 years ago

I like it it's pretty cool maybe fade in the drums though I'm not too sure if they really need the drums sounds pretty cool without it a little bit of psychedelic in it too

Zootman replied 22nd Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Thanks CCC, set out to achieve something, not sure if I did or not. Hey ho, merry xmas!

It seems to me that a new genre of space music should already be introduced

Zootman replied 7th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

I just watched 2001 A Space Odyssey, maybe that influenced me! It's a very slow movie...

Danke 6th Dec 2023 17:38 - 2 years ago

Fantastic piece of music again ...
if they haven't told you yet, you are an undiscovered original talent ... you create outstanding in every style, as here ... this kind of slightly rock (because of the drums) ambient is one of my favorite styles ... I used to make many tracks like this, but then I knew there were much better ones, so I deleted the songs (fortunately)... :-)
hats off bro cause of this journey ... unbelievable ...
fistbump,
Danke

Zootman replied 7th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Hey Danke, thanks a lot, means a lot, as always. I hear some ambient pedigree in some of your tracks (for example the Daydreamer one you have up at the moment). I enjoy pretty much everything you put up on this site, so I bet your attempts at rock/ambient were probably very good. All the best, Zoot.

kingmt77 6th Dec 2023 12:21 - 2 years ago

Ok Chris! This is personal. What I just listened to here is a subline, sonic feast of texture and tones. The power plant of the track is definately the solid drum work. I wouldnt attempt to guess which direction this would go in with an collab, but the framework is firmly in place. This is artistry in effect that must be faved even at this early stage. Thanks for sharing the creativity Chris. Peace.

Mark

Zootman replied 7th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Hi Mark, thanks so much for listening (and the fav!). I have to humbly state that the drums were only slightly edited grooves off of Steven Slate SSD (free version). So I can't take much credit there. I was pleased with the texture/tone etc. of the pads I made though. Those involved at least 6 layers of synth with (gosh) some automation of filters/volume and various saturation/distortion plug ins. Some of the synth stems were run back through guitar rig too. As for the colab, well, what I would love would be for a real drummer to go to town on it with some chill but more evolving percussion. Not much chance of that though...

Micky 5th Dec 2023 18:31 - 2 years ago

This is a beautiful condition, musically excellently implemented. Great concept. I have a friend who tries to add drums to ambient sounds like this and he actually keeps failing... he can't get the two to relate to each other. However, I hear that it works wonderfully for you. Chris, that was a great listening experience. Greetings down under.

Zootman replied 5th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Many thanks Micky, you started this journey with your reference to Terry Riley. I'll have to get off the bus sometime I guess but its fun at the moment. All good here Down Under, and you too Up Over.

xstokes 5th Dec 2023 10:59 - 2 years ago

drone and harmonics beautiful and then it’s mindblowing, my friend. this is an amygdala hijack. i’m getting 30 mins of total bliss before sunrise. inspired. btw i covered that swinging speaker bit, alvin lucier i think it was. i love 50s 60s ‘classical’ bonkers stuff. man oh man this is great

Zootman replied 5th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Damn you did it again, used words I had to google (and I pride myself on my vocabulary, though you might not know it on here since I'm usually tapping on my phone when I reply to comments). I just had a look at Avin Lucier too, pretty interesting eh. I quite like the scientificness of what he was doing. Don't think scientificness is a word.

BaoBou 5th Dec 2023 04:39 - 2 years ago

Central to Young’s work is the concept of “stasis,” as opposed to “Fluxus.” “Change or flux is inevitable,” Young wrote. “Stasis, or remaining the same, is impossible. Therefore, to achieve the static state is the goal, while the state of flux, variation, or contrast, is unavoidable and thus unnecessary as a goal.”

I loved that. That's really, really good!

Zootman replied 5th Dec 2023 - 2 years ago

Hi BB, thanks for the listen! That quote is crazy, it kind of turns things on its head, makes you stop and think about the nature of reality, like a Zen koan. I did cheat a little (i.e. the bass line and a small bit of synth use extra notes), but the drone/pad thing is just the two notes. All the saturation and distortion I added brought out a bunch of evolving harmonics which I thought sounded pretty cool. I was going to call it 'Look Mom No Hands' since it didn't take many....

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. I used one of my old beats and added a few new sounds and made a different mix, Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made my guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make. I want people to feel raw 'Unfiltered' emotion. Untitled track, not sure what to name this yet, i'm open for ideas. I'm open for a collab.
