Walking Into You

Wilds Without Edges

But Then

Thought Process

Electric piano, effect pedals, non synchronized loops, two tube amps. Field recording: Electromagnetic waves made audible with Soma Ether. Spoken words: "Ariel" (Sylvia Plath, 1962), last verses, read by the author. All sounds (except Plath's reading) mixing and production: Velvet Something Superdark.

"And I
Am the arrow,

The dew that flies
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red

Eye, the cauldron of morning."

il mio obbiettivo sarebbe produrre una lunga traccia di “musique d’ameublement”, quindi se qualcuno volesse aggiungere i propri suoni - pochi, sparsi e quieti - la cosa sarebbe molto gradita. Nel caso, fatemi sapere.

This one started as a simple electric-guitar-and-bass progression, just a rough idea that wasn’t really going anywhere. This week I expanded it with several synth layers and some floating eBow lines.
Funny enough, the little gimmick in the middle section ended up giving the track its shape — a kind of slow, climatic crescendo that finally brought it to life.

I re-recorded that line as an intro today. The whole track is still a floating, meandering, blurry ambient groove, but there’s a certain beauty in that haze.

Inspired by this naviarhaiku620 poem:

some starlight
spared from being scooped up
four-handed net


Haiku by Kinsha
Picture by NASA


Some Starlight - naviarhaiku620

I think it’s just the music playing over the end credits of the old film (obviously titled "In case nothing happens") our two friends (assuming they really are our friends) were watching before falling asleep. So there’s nothing to worry about: nothing has happened. It’s not a real alien invasion, nor is it the end of our civilization. Or maybe it’s not a film at all, but a live breaking news broadcast? If that were the case, and if something really had happened, I still don’t think we should be sad or angry, desperate or ready to run away. Let’s stay positive! (all talk, of course...).

This is the sixth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short (except for this one), and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way. Since the perspective has changed, the meaning of the music had to change as well, so I moved from an acoustic guitar base to a piano one.

Composed by Michele Ansani (2022-2025). I reworked on the chords and melodies from an old track I didn’t like, which had remained only in draft form: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/slowness.
All the ambient noises and female vocals are taken from public sound archives.

I hope the Wild Edges speak for themselves. The rest is what happens between them.

I have limited know how and equipment, but think that feeling is more important than hardware and technical ability. 

I decided to stop liking other artists tracks, even if i do like them. I was feeling the pressure to like tracks when i listened to them, especially when people sent them to me to listen to, worried that if i didn't i would upset or offend the artist if i didn't like them, its easier just to like privately. Misunderstandings sadly happened too easily, so i'm distancing myself from the possibility of hurting anyone and of being hurt myself.  Maybe it is better being alone after all. Soundcloud is just like anywhere else where there are lots of people...it can be difficult.

I won't follow, listen, or like, for followers, listens, and likes, so, please, don't ask me to. 

This is a creative escape.

I am always trying to be quiet, but often fail, and to do better.

For Headphone listening
Thank you for listening
