I'm completely obsessed with this piece! I can't stop listening to it.

Snake's Head

This is my submission for the Darksiders quarterly playlist, this time involving the theme of colours. Inspired by the Beach colour palette. Dark turquoise water, muted cool greys and the beige colour of sand. Thanks for listening

This is the sixth in a series of Ambient Music pieces. It uses additive synthesis. The source-code can be found at github.com/danielstahl/ambient-music-6.

Ambient Music 6

Today's track is doing double duty as it was created for the 2 Hour Album Challenge (2hac) in addition to Jamuary. The idea of that challenge is to create a complete track, start to finish in just two hours. There's also a theme which this time around was 'Life'. 

I decided to create my track in a musique concrète style by using only recordings of animal noises which I found on freesound.org. This was hard as I was having to do sound design on the fly (e.g. creating a kick out of a pigeon call and a clap out of a dog bark) while also composing. 

I actually only spent one hour on this as we're going out to dinner in a minute so I might allow myself another hour tweaking it tomorrow for 2hac.
