Ahh, very meditative approach to the track, peaceful, tranquil. The drips are nice. You have a good grasp on making an audible place to go and visit in my mind.

I like these kind of tracks, water ones are nice. I have an hour long cd of ocean waves on a beach that would put me to sleep in no time.

Well done again!

Thanks Wayne. On a calm night I can hear the sea while lying in bed. I love that.

Hey Chris.
Lovely synth work mate.
I think we are going to need something for our water treatment soon.
Well done.

As always, thanks for listening Maj. Man I've got a few ideas at the moment but no time to work on them. It's driving me crazy!

Hey Chris - Im floating in cave somewhere and thinking I shouldnt really have eaten those mushrooms but it's going to be alright because my friend Chris told me I can just play his tracks on repeat. Warm, wet, gentle and reassuring.

Classic, maybe one day! You ever pop over this side of the ditch look me up. Goes without saying I love your music. When I hear your creative genius and others on here I sometimes think man, my music sounds so pedestrian. But it is inspirational too. don't work too hard man. chris

Hey Zootman, really like this. The stereo pan on the water drips give it real depth, and the meditative synth layers sound really nice. I love ambiance, the way it drifts and takes you on on a journey is such good ear candy. Really great job, faved for sure my friend :)

Cheers man, appreciate it. I was quite happy with the depth of this mix too. Just commented on that banger of a dnb track of yours! Great stuff.

Man Zootman,

I've been trying to put together a "Ambient"
track for forever. The Feeling you get from this
track is hard to put into words.

That was the fastest 3:39 ever. I could have listened
to this track on loop all night.
I don't know where you have to go inside your head to get
this but, keep doing it.

For me it's incredibly satisfying to listen to.

Great Track. Faved..

PEACE...

Too much Jynx, thanks a lot. I don't generally start anything with a specific idea in mind but this one I had been thinking about an Eno/Bryne track called Mountain of Needles off the bush of ghosts album. Didn't turn out anything like it but it was kind of the inspiration. Really appreciate your support and feedback man, much appreciated.

Thanks Michael, I have something on the go that is a bit more 'outward' but might be a while before I finish it. But I do really like ambient music, can't help myself sometimes.

great feeling from the opening note Chris, serenity personified. this cleanses the soul. there's something about the sound of water be it dripping, flowing or trickling it instils calm. i grew up 10 mins from the sea, moved to southwest coast to work 2 mins from the sea, i will eventually end up back by the sea hopefully. you can keep bringing this everyday and twice on a sunday as far as im concerned, so relaxing

The Humps once said that dripping water can also drive people insane, though that wasn't my intention! I lived and worked in the UK for a couple of summers in the early 90's in Newquay, selling ice creams and generally being a surfie bum. But I really loved Cornwall, it's a place I could easily live. So I can well understand the pull of the sea. Cheers man.

hmm, this proves that one can go spelunking in the rain. gorgeous and very subterranean mix. the motif cluster is especially cool, there’s some crazy folded spaces between the notes that ooze from the rumbles like glow-in-the-dark cave painting. bliss to my ears, chris!
Zootman
Zootman replied 7th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
Hi there, subterranean was what I was after. I had a friend a long time ago who was a spelunker. Mad as hatter (maybe goes with the territory), loved his psycadelics but an interesting and lovely guy.

Zootman
Zootman replied 7th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
Yes that was the idea. My wife (who hates all my music) says it is 'beige'. She might be right but then true ambient music in my definition is music that can equally be listend to or ignored. Thanks for listen and comment.

You are drawn to the inner world more than to the outer one, which is very good)
Zootman
Zootman replied 7th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
Yes, and when I am drawn to the outer, it is usually more towards natural things than human ones.

one of my old instructors in earlier days used to say,,,if something doesn`t add in a meaningful way to the mix, take it out...will keep it in mind
Zootman
Zootman replied 3rd Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
i hear exactly what you are saying, no pressure at all and I won't hold my breath. when i think about it i can't really imagine what i would add either. i wonder what beat measure program you use.... I have yet to work out how to do that in reaper, when I try it never seems to work. besides which, the guitars/bass on this were done off grid, only the wee percs have a bpm and that was 75.

downloaded a copy (sounds damn good for a 96kps MP3). After listening, not sure I can really add anything that doesn`t bugger it up...I am in the habit of developing melodies around chord progs..playing in one key can sound more like gtr fx...anyway..I`m always up for a collab...usually learn something. Will give it a shot mate & see what I can come up with & get in touch if I can...may contact you if my beatmeasure program doesn`t want to calculate recording tempo...cheers....Ed

not too long at all..needed all 5 min to let the sound carry me away with it...great to hear some of this kind of music on LM. My own efforts have gotten so mellow in recent times I seldom thought of posting on LM (keep a few posts going on SC) as I didn`t think there would be much interest. This is really well done with fab production values..paints the picture you title perfectly...keep on..Ed
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
Nothing wrong with mellow Ed, don't let that stop you! Valve driver suggested in his comments on this track that he'd love to hear you lay some guitar on it. I have to agree! Thanks a lot for listening, I like to hear from you.

Zootman, WOW! What you’ve done here is exactly what I experienced sound wise at the Chicago Adler Planetarium IMAX Dome where the screen is in the ceiling and the seats recline back. Beautiful work, simply Beautiful!

Beautiful and dreamy ambience - soundtrack for falling asleep in a hut in the wet wilderness, slow gentle breath, a few random thoughts skating in and out and a sense of deepening relaxation and peaceful contentment ... I could have some more of this : )

Who'd have thought it could be so much fun pretending to be someone you aren't. Felt a bit nihilistic hitting you up to listen to this one, but oh well and thanks for the listen. Loved your comment.

This is a great piece as it is. I do love the rolling pads. The bass has a killer tone and it fits so well. Not to take away from your work, but it's too bad Tumbleweed doesn't come around anymore. I'd love to hear what kind of sweet guitar he could lay down with this. I don't know that might be TOO relaxing. It would probably send people into meditative comas. Which, honestly, I could for one of those for about a week. Do a little catch-up down time, ya know?

Anyhow, excellent work. It's in the faves file.
Take care.

Hi there, thanks a lot for the listen and fav! Always good to get some feed back, that's what I love about this wee community. The 'pads' are actually a couple of accoustic guitar tracks. And yes, I know tumbleweeds skills, he's popped up once or twice over the last year or so. I'd love to hear him on this, or anyone for that matter. Thanks again.
