A 6 track long, mostly instrumental album full of ambient synth-driven tracks backed with reverb and delay, to create a psychedelic and cool soundscape. The title track has a feeling of emptiness and sounds quite depressing, hence the name of the song and the album. This album (well, the first song) came from a drone-album project I started, where I only got the pseudo-drone-metal song done and nothing else.

This album would be a double album on vinyl, with tracks 1 and 2 occupying the A and B-side of the first disc, respectively. Tracks 3 and 4 occupy the second disc's A-side (C-side) and tracks 5 and 6 occupy the second disc's B-side. (D-side)

Made using Ableton Live Lite, and enhanced with Audacity. (added reverb, slightly reducing the speed on tracks 1-3 by a slight amount to slightly increase their length (no more than a 5% reduction in speed, so the difference is almost inaudible) and some other things)

Sirius is named after the brightest star in the sky, which I believe is the 5th closest star to the Solar System (and also probably the 6th closest star to the Solar System, which is why I named the 6th track that) and its the least-ambient song on the album, but still features relatively ambient portions, along with some synth solos. (Layers of notes that go up a bit high and have no sense of music theory or rhyme or reason lol)

I'm very proud of this, and it took me a day to make. I'm finally done and I hope you people like it.

The Vast Emptiness of the Cosmos

A 7 track album of synth solos of mostly higher quality than on Synth Solos Demos EP. They're also longer.

Made using Ableton Live Lite 10 and the keyboard is an Alesis v61.

The Final Solo

Frank Walker From National Tiles

The classic style of my discography. Random bits of noise made in Audacity. The album cover is totally not similar to The Beatles' "White Album". xd

I Do Weird Things With Frogs

Burp 'n' Fart

I recorded this at 11pm. The loneliest star is on the cover. I hope it finds a friend one day.

Night Is My Favourite Time Of Day

I Stay Up Too Late Sometimes

The longest classic style noise album of mine so far. Created in Audacity.

Y R U Gae

A nearly 11 minute piece that I made in Ableton Live Lite. My third piece that I've made using the software, and the first to be uploaded. Will be in the future album: "Ableton Live Noob Diaries, Vol. 1"

Synthetic

Awful "techno" stuff I slapped together in Ableton Live Lite.

650bpm

In contrast to the eerie Gull, this song begins with what sounds like an organ, but its the same synth I use throughout the song. The song's name is just an acronym for ENO, as in, Brian Eno, who helped pioneer this style of music. Its a more beautiful sound, and isn't eerie. Its like Ethereal Ambience. 

The song could have a theme of a lifeform created with electronics, either through AI, or a being made with electronics, or a fusion of both. Its not a poke at modern society. That would be hypocritical as I spend a lot of time on the computer, and I used it to make this damn song and album.

Electronically Nurtured Organism

Opening and closing with an ambient piano ping, similar to the piano ping on Echoes. This song features a more eerie sound than Ethereal Ambience, with the creepy pings and the echoey calls of seagulls throughout the track. The seagull calls get more echoed and delayed as the song progresses towards the middle, having an effect of the song getting eerier and eerier. 
The seagull cries get less echoey at the end, with the piano pings emerging once more, taking you out of the eerie journey and the piano pings continue alone at the end.

This song may one day feature lyrics that I wrote before I made this song fully, and they don't really fit with the eerie tone of the song. They would've been soaked in reverb. Maybe one day.

I also wanted to include the sounds of waves, but I couldn't manage to get a good sound and so I just settled on a seagull call clip that I recorded onto Audacity, soaked it in reverb and had 3 different versions, with more reverb and echo with each one.

Gull

In stark contrast to the opening song in tone, and even the previous song, this song would open up disc two on vinyl. Like its name suggests, this is a more heavenly sounding song and is more beautiful. This can also capture the wonder of space and the vastness of the cosmos. It could also be a spiritual thing, and can be argued to be the most new age song on the album, as well as my entire discography thusfar.

Like A Cosmological Soundscape, it makes use of the left-right delay pan.

Ethereal Ambience

Following the doomy sound of the opening track, this song has a lighter tone to it, despite having a somewhat similar vibe to it. However, this track captures more of a sense of wonder, rather than the melancholic loneliness that the title track had. 

At 16 minutes exactly, it is the longest song on the album. Makes use of a pad, with reverb, chorus and delay, like all other songs on the album. It has a constant delay pan, left channel and then right channel, which may have an illusion of a constant stereo pan, which may add to the effect.

A Cosmological Soundscape

The Vast Emptiness Of The Cosmos

I got sidetracked with my other album and made this instead. Rigelica was recorded at least a month and a half before this album was ever conceptualised. Recorded primarily over the course of a week or two, with mixing and the song "Unless" being recorded on the same day this was uploaded.

Using Ableton Live Lite to make the songs, and Audacity to mix them. (Reverb, echo and some tweaks and fades here and there. Not really true mixing)

The album is a follow-up to The Vast Emptiness of the Cosmos, featuring a longer runtime. The Vast Emptiness of the Cosmos would be on one CD, and two vinyl discs, this would be on two CDs and three vinyl discs. Tracks 1-3 would be disc one, and tracks 4-7 would be disc two.

The album cover is an image I got off of Google images. The image itself is most likely taken by the fine folks at NASA. I love you guys so much and I wish you had more funding to further the human race and the exploration of space. 

I hope you like it and I also hope to finish my other projects soon.

I'll Let You Know

What About It?

An EP/maxi-single from my upcoming album What Boredom Does to an Albatross. NO JARGON was originally meant to be a simple B-side, but it ended up being a fairly good song, relatively.

NOTICE: I DO NOT CONDONE THE USE OF MOST DRUGS, (ones that can cause serious harm to you, i.e most illicit drugs) ESPECIALLY IN IRRESPONSIBLE AMOUNTS. BE SAFE, AND SNORT ASBESTOS INSTEAD.

NO JARGON

Sorry for the wait. I got sidetracked with other projects and I also couldn't get on my computer for about a month due to my charger not working. Thankfully, it is starting to work again and in two days I managed to finish this long album.

A triple album, this album has elements of ambient music, experimental, avant-garde, space music, psychedelia and electronica. The song titles are almost all nonsense, with the somewhat exception of Gliese, (this is a German surname I believe, also the name code of many astronomical bodies) Meisho, (a Japanese name)Dolan and Amalgamation. The latter (Amalgamation)is a 5 part suite which is also the longest song I have made so far. 

Almost every song was played on the keyboard, with the rest being made in Ableton Live and continuing on the non-synth soundscape ambient style I first featured in Under the Sun. 

Amalgamation combines elements of ambient, dark ambient, space music and a genre I like to call "psychedelic ambient". 

This album took ages for me to make, with the sessions starting in December 2021 or so. I hope you all like this album.

As a lot of my recent works, I have laxed copyright on this, as I believe that music prospers best when ideas are borrowed and sampling can help make transformative and great songs. I won't make money off of this and even if I did, I welcome anyone who is inspired by my work to make songs based on it. As long as you credit me, I will be fine.
The album cover is a heavily warped image of my bird, Sunny.

Amalgamation Section B

These are songs from albums I have not finished, and I do not intend to finish anytime soon. I am 99% sure I have not released these before.

Overhead Composition did appear on Bandcamp and was my contribution to a project there.

Drone Metal Proper

I swear this album is cursed because I cannot get it to upload properly. I have tried 6 or so times to upload this. Even splitting it in two didn't work. I hope this works.

I finally got around to finishing this album. With recording spanning half a year or more, its a long time coming for sure. 

Basically inspired by Trout Mask Replica and Penis Music. 

The genres featured on this album vary, with some songs being mockery of metal, others being techno and most just being incomprehensible musical shitposting. 

All the songs are in all-caps because it adds to the shitpost vibe. I enjoyed making this and I hope you enjoy listening to it, which you probably won't.

I got bored and made a noise album. Have at it, sample it or whatever. Its just shit I made in Audacity, anyway.

The album cover was too cool to restrict to this album. There's a second version of it with different colours and slight alterations here and there that I will use on a future project.

Brown & Pink

Airy Hiss in the Caverns

The opening track of a dark ambient/drone project I am working on

I layer mounds of distortion and effects to mask the fact I cannot play guitar in a conventional manner.

Apologies for a persistent synthy white noise in this, (kind of sounds like foam) as its thanks to an EQ effect I did and didn't realise it did this until it was too late (aka I was too lazy to process them all over again)

Mostly done in standard tuning, with the 26082022 session being D drop tuned or something.

28082022 - Merruct

I'm an Autistic Australian indie artist who likes experimenting, making noise and stuff. My music may not be very good, but I hope it'll get better with time. I am currently 17 years old, and I used to hope to be able to create a musical duo with my boyfriend when we'd finally meet up. Unfortunately, I have lost him and I hope he's in a better place. Regardless, I hope to one day have a successful music career doing the weird stuff I do, because I just love making music, even if its terrible music.

STATS:
22 full length "studio" albums
10 original EPs
2 promotional EPs (A Sample and Retro! Disco! Techno! EP version. I have yet to finish the album A Sample was apart of)

Singles: (Not 100% accurate, Soundcloud doesn't display singles, unless you put 2 tracks or more in it (I.e an A-side and a B-side))

5 Non-Album Singles
3 Promotional Singles (Percussion Metal and Ritual Dance of the Elements, never got around to finishing the album, but I finished a good chunk of it. May post it one day)
