“I'm growing more and more fond of imperfection. This isn't some knuckle dragging reaction against technology, but rather I just find the humanity of error engaging - and the accidents it causes often more interesting than perfection.
Maybe it's because of this, that I'm repeatedly drawn to earlier electronica, where imperfections were an unavoidable by-product of playing, bodging and stitching-together electronic compositions using tape loops and delays.
This is why this track - and in fact the entirety of the album it features on "Walk-in Diorama" sounds as it does. It was all played by hand, with no sequencing, click-tracks or time fixes. Just played and combined using 4 stereo tracks.
People have mentioned it reminds them of Cluster or Harmonia. I did not set out to do this, but it seems, this way of working results not only in a feel, but also in a style, a time or even in a place. I find that interesting in itself." /Giles

Walk-in Diorama

In The Partial Shade Of Tall Trees

Times change, ideas change, and so does the music. To make pleasing enjoyable music was the original idea, now the music has become the expression of thought, the expression of emotion. Painting sound-scapes with music is the ultimate goal. To bring the listeners on journeys of discovery, imagination, fear and sorrow. Take what you can from each song, but mostly, enjoy the ride, and have fun with it.

Also for a different approach please visit my Quiet Mayhem site.

Marka Tamea is a composer who creates using electro-acoustic experiments, synthesis, and field recordings. The music is characterized by a fusion of the commonplace and the imaginary, the discernible and the esoteric, which is fused with delicately harmony. The resulting experience takes the listener on an emotional journey of exploration while creating a heightened awareness of the environment and the physical world.

Marka has been active in the alternative music scene since the early 1980s and was one of the first to use digital sound modification techniques to create innovative ambient experiences. The musical style and ideology evolved through ongoing collaborations with Kymatik, an experimental collective that challenges the boundaries of sound perception.

To date, Marka has produced ten solo albums and also contributed to compilations including Nijmeegsche Electronische Waar - 4.0, Ressonus Net - Volume One, Gonzo Circus - Mind The Gap, Doppelganger 141 and Voices for Iran – 909 Connection. 2023.

Currently working in The Netherlands.

I started composing daily pieces and posting them onto SoundCloud at the beginning of 2013.  By posting daily I am tweaking, experimenting and developing a thought, idea or event in time.  I am endeavouring to show that there is no limit to that creative spark that lies within each of us.  So much of what we do nowadays is about instant return, I am about evolution not revolution (although each month starts with a clean slate).  Join me on my journey to 10,000 (18 May 2040!!!)

Over the years I have found the Soundcloud community to be extremely supportive and encouraging.  It’s great to have a Global Mastermind of musical adventurers.

Thank you!

I love listening to ambient music.
I only use a free VST synths and effects.
Big fan of good free software.

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
