so here's some ambient tracks i've made so far. i hinted at a collection of these songs earlier in the year, but now i feel that it's time to release them here, i guess. note: this is not meant to be treated as an album. "1" is the perfect opener for the collection, with its short piano arpeggio and crescendoing strings. "2" is one here that i really like, marked by how well the kalimba and pan drums are treated for this. "3" and "4" are polar opposites of each other: "3" is a percussion-heavy track with a short clip of me working, while "4" is easily comparable to my house songs, despite not being one itself. "5" carries influences of Asian music, a recurring theme for a lot of tracks in the collection, with its use of rounding instruments and strings and things. "6" is what I like to call a "justin track". haha, my friend justin helped with this one, so there's that reference. "7" and "8". oh man, another good pair. one with pads and another ones with strings and filtered marimba. "9" and "A" are pretty good ones too, each with pulsing percussion and their own little synth style, especially that music box at the beginning of "9" that i like. "B" is some experimental ambient thing. i call it "jamming a fork into the piano". lol. "C" has no percussion, which is quite a rarity in the current collection. instead it makes use of me doing something on my phone. "D" is another good tribal one, with a filtered part (!!1!). ok, it's not my favorite, but it's a must-listen. "E" is the sequel to a different track that's coming on here pretty soon, but with randomized elements are MORE DRUMS. "F" and "10" go good together as well, with their powers combined (essentially their heavy drums and percussion). i used some vocals from a play i did a while back on "F". "11", "12", and "13" make up our only trifecta here, with their little synths and light bass. it's commentary like this that makes me want to make a mix with these tracks. :P "14" initially didn't have a place here, but i eventually caved and here it is. it's my favorite out of all the tracks here. i love doing minimalism and i feel that "14" achieves that very well. "15" is a light track with its little hit every bar. kinda like something's approaching you and the hit is its warning. "16" and "17" are like that as well, but they're two different tracks, so why am i talking about them?? "18" is another random track i put on there for some reason, yet i gave it an entry in this thing. "0" is the finale, with its piano and synth combined to make the perfectly built sendoff for the collection, at least for now.
there will be more of this coming so stay tuned. let me know what your favorite track is in the comments. by the way, those aren't their real titles. i'll reveal those soon.
