Haiku #221: Spring approaches / the Pacific Ocean / will be my sitting mat

Glory(Cloudedit)

Older song from my first EP, remixed and sped up a bit. The only instrument used here is a drum machine.

Also, it's bandcamp friday today (08.01.2025) when I'm posting this, and I got a new album out here:

https://plagueclock.bandcamp.com/album/junk-drawer

All 10 tracks have already been released here, but the lossless versions over there sound slightly better, I think?

Anyway, here's also a bunch of codes to own/download it. Redeem the codes here:

Thank you all for your comments, because there is always room for improvement
I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
