I'm floating away in this immersive ambience

Eerie atmospheric ambience; a soundscape which is a journey through musical space. Extremely visual

like a beautiful abstract painting, with a few allusions to familiar places…

this is a wonderful shattered dreamscape you've created 😊

And, finally, we are glad to present here the closing  track, No. 13, "Mad Bad World", of our collaborative SoundCloud album "Midnight Coffee", on which Roberto B (@user-55822457) and I started working on 24 June 2021, exactly 3 months ago. Vocal samples from MAGIX have been used (by Roberto B). We hope you'll enjoy this track as well as the album in its entirety (as it should be listened to so as to sense and appreciate the changing moods and overall atmosphere it creates in its completeness). The album will be released in minutes too, exclusively here on SoundCloud. 

Created in collaboration on 6 August (initial mix and recording in GarageBand and Logic Pro by Alex M) and 7 August 2021 (subsequent additions, mix and recording plus final mix and recording in MAGIX by Roberto B), and posted on SC on 24 September 2021 (by Alex M), as we had agreed that this should be our closing track in the album even if it was created earlier (the other tracks are ordered chronologically, as they were finished).

The artwork cover is designed and implemented by Alex M on 29 June 2021 (in Tayasui Sketch in Mac OS), and cropped and annotated by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 30 June 2021.

Thank you so much, Roberto - for the beautiful musical ideas and our inspiring collaborations, and in particular in this "Midnight Coffee" album of ours (reflecting our moods and emotions during the turbulent summer of 2021)!

Duration: 8:42 minutes

Guess I shouldn't have deleted this one from my account… here it is again… I dedicate it to all people who, like me, love Ligeti, Stockhausen, Schönberg, Webern, Boulez, Bartók, Berg and so on, love equally Miles and Trane and Sanders and Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock and Joel Ross and love equally Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Prince, Co Shu Nie, Bjork, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Sting …and love Bach and Mozart and Josquin and Chopin… and besides love the music of the Gbaya, and Gamelan, and Japanese traditional music… why should we feel confined to ANY genre?

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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...

Music,
centered on dance but I made the circle very,
very wide, from everywhere, for everyone.
Enjoy.

My linux won't boot so I'm presently forced to use Windows, and because of the bug in Soundcloud's system my account is all messed up when I don't use a VPN to connect which I am unable to do now... trying to get help from my VPN provider.  Because of this, and because I started working very long days I will be less present here.  Sorry, I'm trying.

Hi,
"Tracks: 0" is wrong, it should read 40.
Ever since the closing of this account by error by SC two or three months ago, this problem has remained unfixed.  Soundcloud and their AI are apparently still working on solving this and other problems with this account, and with my other account ; )

2024/01/29:
What I wrote below was heart felt but presumptuous and pretentious.  I would have to not be stupid myself to be allowed to claim such a thing.  More importantly though, I don't believe it is correct or accurate.  These people are probably not stupid but just don't care.  Justice is a collective thing and many if not most people seem to live in bubbles.  It is perhaps economic oppression which is responsible, they just don't have the resources, the time, the energy to be concerned about what lies behond that bubble.  It used to be fine but there's this thing they call globalization which makes this increasingly impractical or impossible.

mid January 2024:
Justice and vengeance are not the same.  Apparently most people are too stupid to see the difference.  Unfortunately it is not something unique to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and not unique to group conflicts.

What happened to intelligence?  Aren't we supposed to be the "intelligent" specie.

Here's the other account, for celebrities, ... this one here is for regular folks:

I love you.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West.

... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
