"Howling Woodland" is an ambient album project of mine. Currently I haven't decided whether or not this will be it's final title.

It's going to be an attempt at tightly tying in an album with a story, told in the form of a logbook written by a geologist who visits a (currently unnamed) forest to observe and document strange sounds of unknown origin. The audio in the album is supposed to be the audio that the geologist recorded.

As he stays in the forest, the sounds get more aggressive and loud, and the geologist goes insane over time because of this. His progressing insanity is shown by nonsensical/paranoid sentences written in the logbook, as well as some recordings being interrupted by the geologist insanely rambling about various things and arguing with imaginary people.

Howling Woodland (Ambient)

I'm working on an ambient album now. It's going to be titled "Sounds From Inside The Shrieking Forest" or something similar to that. I'm going to try and tie in the music with a story that's going to be told in the form of a discovery log/list of events in the booklet. It's going to be about a geologist who travels to a forest in the middle of nowhere to record and observe strange sounds of unknown origin. At first, they sound peaceful and calm, but the longer he stays in the forest (IE the farther into the album you get) the more aggressive they start to sound.

I'm thinking of making of geologist go insane as time goes on. This would be shown by progressively strange doodles/sentences in the log book, as well as some field recordings which are occasionally interrupted by mumbling or talking to/arguing with/yelling at imaginary people.

This is a lot of shit to do, if I am going to go through with all of it. I really want to, because I don't think many albums like this has been made so far.

Also, it's all supposed to take place in the 50s/60s, so I'm going to add in some noise to make it sound like it's been recorded onto reel to reel tape.

If the actual audio sounds a bit shitty, you should probably download it and listen to it in something like WMP. For some reason, soundcloud's player really butchers low frequency stuff.

Probably going to be another song on "Sounds From Inside The Shrieking Forest"

That album name sounds cheesy though; I might end up changing it to some vague cryptic metaphor or something.

Ambient6_6

Another track for Knuswald. Added some ambient sound of trees rustling so you can get a general idea of what all the tracks are going to sound like when they're finished.

If the ambient background recording sounds a bit glitchy/jumpy at certain points, that's because I sloppily cut out the sound of my neighbor's dog barking and didn't make an attempt at smoothing it all out.

Also: tfw you don't live near a forest so you have to settle with the sound of leafy trees rustling instead of pine trees rustling

I'm hoping I'll be able to go to a forest or something with some decent recording equipment and get some nice background ambience for the finished album, though.

Ambient12_8

This is probably going to be the longest song on the album.

This one was a lot of fun to make. I screwed around with randomly generated automation clips for the changing pitch of the different elements.

Ambient14_6

Ambient music and other stuff.

Any tracks of mine that have names ending with an underscore followed by a number (example: track7_13) are unfinished and still being tweaked.

If you posted you soundcloud at /mu/ and I followed you, that means I genuinely like your music and want to hear more of it in the future. I'm not expecting you to follow back. I don't do follow4follow. However, if you follow me or comment on my stuff, I'll check your music out.
