We think alike! I made a song to this effect with the voyager greetings, only that it is more ambient! Unbelievable!

Nice Jan! Got an old Kraftwerk sound going on there!

@user-830390974: Thank you from me and AnAstromo

@anastromo: Trying to promote this one but it is slow. Glad you liked Woods of Mars.

Ambient

"Music is feminine, it lies, waiting to be fertilized..." 

 - A kind of ambient track - no repetitive beats. But there is a deep kick or two. Watched a program about Richard Burton and sampled the TV using Android Voice Recorder app. Used LMMS to get the synths, delays and a soundfont that has noises of kitchen utensils and stuff. 120 BPMs but I may upload the 184bpm version - sounds pretty much the same but the delays are quicker and the track is shorter..

The Reason (120bpm)

Arii Shokyu-Ni was a haiku poetess during the Edo period who began a wandering life after running away from her husband at 29 with the haiku poet Kohaku. Just like Matsuo Basho, "the Nun Shokyu" traveled to the Deep North of Japan.

I see this sign everyday on my walk to the bus stop and it immediately came to mind when thinking of street signs. I took the sign to mean sounds that come one after the other, with no overlap, and challenged myself to create a track that is completely monophonic.

To do this I used Renoise and limited my self to only one track, I used samples from various sources, some that I had recorded, others rendered from Vital. Overall I think the limitation lead me to create something very unique and forced me to think outside of the box when writing rhythms and melodies.

Relaxing ambient space soundscape music is what Pure Ambient Drone is all about. It is chillout music with flowing electronica drones and ambient ripples of soundscapes. Pure Ambient Drone dedicates his music to those who love to just drift off into the inner space of their minds and find the sweet spot they call "Home".

Pure Ambient Drone's music is just pure untainted cosmic space ambient music to help relax and chillout your mind as the cosmic soundscapes have a hypnotic music effect on your emotions.

Pure Ambient Drone performs all his music on analog gear with just a touch of digital electronic flavor.

FAQ
Q. Why or how did you choose your bandname?
A. Well it wasn't easy picking a name because so many things play into it. I have to say though that after thinking about my music, I noticed that it is PURE within it's genre. I do not mean that as a pun. What I mean by it is this, too many bands/artists move away from their roots. I hope never to do that. Also, I like the way Pure Ambien Drone can be shortened to P.A.D. All of my music involves synthesizer pads so it was fitting.

Q. Do you play live? Where? Do you like it? Any special moments?
A. I can't even imagine playing my genre of music live unless it was at a library or a mattress store ha ha! Ok, maybe a stress clinic LOL.

Q. How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
A. It is awesome because now anyone can have their music heard. I love the idea of building a site and placing my music online for everyone to enjoy.

Q. Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?
A. Only if it opened more doors for people to hear my music. I certainly wound not want to be tied down creatively by them though. I would have to think about it.

History:
Oh man, I have been doing this type of music for awhile now, but only recently under the assumed name Pure Ambient Drone. I started around 2002. A friend of mine brought over a keyboard and I got to play with it for awhile and just fell in love. 

It wasn't long before I had my own keyboard and was writing tunes. At first ambient soundscapes were not my focus. One day though I put one together while playing around with some cool sounds and POW I noticed I had a knack for it! 

I actually now own the keyboard my friend brought over that day and it is very special to me because he committed suicide and I have it to remember by.

Q. Who or what are your musical influences?
A. Oh man! REALLY? Everyone and everything! I live in Missouri and we have some of the most beautiful places to visit out here. I was raised in a military family and have been to a lot of places all around the world. I have listened to so many types of music from Germany to Italy to the USA. Movies are a huge influence for me. I love science fiction films. They have a huge impact on my music.

I like MOBY, Enya, Enigma but also like Rock music and so classic country. Bluegrass is always good stuff, ya bluegrass I said. It all contributes. I think what really sticks in my head are the old German tunes my mother would play when I was a kid. They had some really cool riffs.

Q. Your favorite spot or city?
A. I use to live in Naples Italy and I really miss it over there. Someday I may return but for now it's good ol' Springfield, MO!

Q. What equipment do you use? 
A. Oh you had to ask! :) I have a select group of analog and digital equipment that I use. My secret weapon is the Yamaha AN1x. Anyone who has ever played one of these will know why! Also my Yamaha SY22, Moby used one on some of his albums. I also have an Roland MC-303 and the Roland F06. I don't use a lot of software synthesizers because of two main reasons. First, I think they sound too think and cold. Second, there is no character to them, they just are. I like the feeling of analog. I love used things that someone use to own and played on.

Challenge: Find a piece of wood, the grain of which captures your imagination.

Hi, I've been working on percussion tracks, so I took this picture (taken in souther Spain), it is not really "shapes of the grain" but the pikes are so massive and menacing that I couldn’t stop thinking as a good notation for a spicy percussive track. I see short, high transient sound anyway.
So I decided to use my new Oberheim DMX virtual instrument exclusivelly, changing pitch and sound for the toms to represent those spikes.
Anyway, glad to be back on a junto, cheers DD
