People are People (cover)

I'm never gettin over
all the time I've been oppressed
and the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less   I digest
O
but I digress
and if I had lacked discretion or recognized this mess
I'd be smilin every day now
and gettin down
less and less
but I was blessed
cause no matter the final tally
or the measure of the test
I refuse to let it beat me
yea I confess
cause the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less
I'm feelin blessed
O
seems I'm never gonna (not be) depressed
yea
if I had to guess
but I'm damn sure that in the end
it'll be me in the end
yea
I'm never gettin over
all the times I've been oppressed
and the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less
cause ya know
it's the best I'm ever
gonna get

Never Gettin Over (amp)

Here's a continuation of me having fun with the scribble.audio free online tool. Really playing with this gives me lots of joy, hahah. 

As I'm not into making serious music too much, at least currently (that thing might change soon, though), I'm having lots of fun with this easy-go instrument. ;) And the lo-fi sound (along with the blipping artifacts) has lots of charm, imo. 

Accidental music? I try to harmonise!  :D Maybe you'll find it cute!

Cheers!

You Gave Me Love

"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)

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.

Hello SoundCloud friends...,  
From the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, I would like to take this time to THANK EVERYONE for listening to, and commenting on all my tracks. Hello!, I'm David Gordon, a.k.a. OneAmbient4, composer of layered ambient, space ambient and electronic music. Since the 1970's when electronic music made its way into my life, starting with Switched On Bach, Tomita, JMJ, and others, I became very interested in electronic music. But then, the equipment was too expensive to own. So I waited.... Along came computers and later VSTi's and software. Also the Synths have dropped in price. With the help of others, here I am. So please enjoy. For your best experience, use headphones. If you would like to use one of my productions in your works, please contact me.
Ps 100:1.
