Stuff I like 19

Beneath the Surface" offers a 5:03 journey into the depths of a dark, ambient soundscape, characterized by its minimalist yet profound approach. Anchored in deep bass undercurrents and enveloped in slow-moving synth textures, this track masterfully conveys a sense of menace and unease. Designed for filmmakers, video game developers, and podcast producers, it serves as the perfect backdrop to scenes brimming with tension, mystery, or psychological drama. The composition's hypnotic bassline, resonant bass synths, ethereal pads, and subtle arpeggiated textures create a spacious and immersive auditory experience. Delicate piano notes and haunting Rhodes accents, coupled with atmospheric pads' rattles and swells, contribute to the soundscape's richly layered tension. Ideal for narratives exploring suspense, drama, and introspection, "Beneath the Surface" invites listeners into an engaging, unsettling ambiance without overwhelming the tranquil void it creates.

"Be Not The Shadow" is the debut track from Cascadian solo artist A Son Of Many Fathers. With elements of post rock melding with progressive rock and metal, the track is slow paced but with the guitars providing a menacing lo-fi intensity.

Whatever Happens

AI is a risk. While all the major tech companies chase the development of the ultimate AI - called AGI - conscientious tech profiles are leaving the same companies. The profiles responsible for AI safety leaves the Tech companies, and profit-driven commercial forces are driving it forward.

Stephen Hawking was concerned about AI in 2016. Elon Musk has stated public that AI is a risk. What will happen to the human race?

### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.

All Is Aglow

With "Sunset Serenity," I wanted to create a musical experience that offers listeners a refuge of tranquility and introspection, akin to the sensation of watching a peaceful sunset. I was inspired by moments of peace I find in nature, especially during those magical times when day meets night.

I used a rich harmonic structure and variable dynamics to reflect the complexity of human emotions. The minor chord progressions and the key of G# minor add a touch of melancholy, while the diverse instruments contribute to a complex sonic texture. My intention was to create a musical narrative arc that guides the listener through an emotional journey from calm and introspection to intensity and, ultimately, to peace and reconnection.

At the end of the creative process, I felt that "Sunset Serenity" managed to capture the essence of the transitional and reflective moment I wanted to convey. The piece not only offers a space for relaxation and introspection but also succeeds in touching the listener's soul with its emotional depth and harmonic beauty. It is an auditory experience meant to bring inner peace and reconnection with oneself, a serenity at sunset.

The Persian Chessboard

Una noche, frente al mar y bajo la luna llena, me tocó una melodía que me recordó a ese viejo tema mío. Me miró, sonrió y susurró: '¿Por qué no lo compartes con el mundo?' Así nació 'Arpeggio'.

(NOTE for RepostEx users: I don't repost AI if I can detect it, and I only repost songs I like or show some level of competence or promise...and they usually don't involve an 808, misogyny, Autotune or singing off key over a prerecorded track...and at my age I'm FAR more interested in quality connections with listeners than going "viral". ALSO: mostly an aging rock/folk/prog/indie guy...can't really judge or really relate to Hip-Hop, Auto-Tune and other more modern styles...sorry.)

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture.  Ludi lives off-grid in a yurt in the woods of WI and finds the materialistic priorities of our civilization incredibly wrong and destructive.
