Check out the accompanying visuals at https://youtu.be/2AUEC9qD69U - to celebrate 200 subscribers on the halF unusuaL YouTube channel! 🎉

This track unscrews the lid and has another play with Sumu - an amazing new plugin from https://soundcloud.com/madronalabs ... If you haven't had a go yet, it's great fun, and it's REALLY cleverly designed to offer endless ground-breaking sonic possibilities! I'm really taken with it and you'll be hearing more unusuaL Sumu in due course! ❤️

ALL the sounds you hear are from Sumu, including the reverb and spatialisation. There are 5 instances of Sumu in use to create this final version.

Here, I'm messing with the companion software Vutu and using my own samples in the Sumu system ... foregrounding a squeaky gate! 😜

faring over the lake (Naviarhaiku 612)

quiet valley

I used a phrase from a comment I received from Stars Mighty Fine as the title.
First, I see a chaotic array of tones, and then I try to create some kind of structure from that chaos. I think the process of composing is simply trying to control the song and sound with all my might.

We Control with All My Might (357)

maybe a bad start start to today, but in the end i saw a heron, 20 fishes, had a 5 mile hike with a friend, and saw my first ever juvenile possum.  also i am beyond 72 hours free of nicotine, so that is good. made with stylophone and zoom h1 and nch.

Magnetic Clouds

A four-minute ambient journey built from four evolving one-minute drones — each exploring a distinct emotional landscape.
Major to minor, light to dark, tension to abstraction:

00:00 – 01:00 → Luminous, joyful
01:00 – 02:00 → Dark, melancholic
02:00 – 03:00 → Anxious, tense
03:00 – 04:00 → Abstract, strange

Synthesizers and acoustic instruments blend seamlessly to create a warm, organic soundscape — bowed upright bass, harmonica, harmonium, and Tibetan bowls intertwine in a meditative yet cinematic flow.
Perfect for moments of reflection, atmosphere, and deep listening.

Welcome tσ th!s εvσlving space … inspired by thε playful sp!rit of hai (meaning “fun” or unμsuΔl, like in haiku) …

I dig around thε edges t0 uneΔrth non-mμ§ic musics — sliding into nσ!§ε, glitch, chΔnce, Δ$MR, and σther soundwσrlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity …
