Process notes - 

I didn't really think too much about this. Every time I worked, I worked quickly with a good flow going.

Starting with this track…

…and then finally this…
Bassline Collab (disquiet0636) by Noodle Twister
https://soundcloud.com/noodletwister/bassline-collab-disquiet0636

- I used FL Studio’s ability to extract stems from the two collaboration tracks
- Imported all of this into a Live Session to have 11 tracks to work with.
- Bounced and split each stereo file to mono files
- Applied various effects - mainly Live’s native ones - and then let it sit for a few hours
- Came back to it very late at night into the morning to stretch, chop, arrange and apply another generation of effects - this time mainly M4L devices, with a few odd VSTs - until it sounded "complete" to me. I didn't need to add anything more to this.

Artwork: Edit and additions to disquiet’s original using Adobe Photoshop 2024 and Q’MIC-Qt.

Naviar Broadcast #313 – Flowing along – Wednesday 4th April 2024

FLIEGE IM UHRWERK

The Hole You Left by Siegfried Jünger unfolds in slow waves of ambient drone and melodic electronic texture. Ethereal tones drift through empty space, building an elegiac calm that feels both intimate and distant.
Like early Aphex Twin meeting Jónsi & Alex, it balances warmth and melancholy — a quiet meditation on absence and memory.
From the album Absence, this piece sits where emotion meets atmosphere: slow, minimal, and deeply immersive.

For fans of: Aphex Twin, Jónsi & Alex, Ben Frost, Max Richter

Siegfried Jünger – The Hole You Left | Ambient Electronic Drone

Train to Scandinavia Is an album of new age, electronica and ambient music recorded entirely on sleeper trains and hotels in Scandinavia during an 18 day round trip from England to the Arctic by train. It captures the atmospheric and beautifully haunting landscapes of the far north during the winter months.

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
