JDR - Ambiances nostalgiques

Ambient

misterMV

Made in 2002 in memory of my dead mother. Melodic Ambient.

Renaissance | 2002

Made in 2009 as a demo for my audio portfolio. RPG/Batman, how's that for a weird genre? :)

Threatening Sky | 2009

Track created for RiceCookerRepublic's game prototype "Eole". 2012.

Eole OST - Inland | 2012

Made in 2012 for a friend's record project. Style didn't fit so there it is :)

Tangible Spirit | 2012

Old track from 2001 or so made in 25 minutes. It's very simple but somehow I feel it has a special nostalgic feel to it.

Green Ashes | 2001

The first version of this track (called 'Heavenly') was originally made around 2003, and was a very straightforward ambient take on the Heavens Tower theme from this game. I've loved the track instantly when I discovered it on the soundtrack, although I have never played the game myself, I'm scared of MMORPG addiction, been there! A newer version called 'Heavenly Anew' was released in 2004 on VGMix, featuring a few additions and some "breakbeat"-ish percussion. I hadn't submitted it to OCR at the time since it was too long, even though I liked the track already. When Liontamer contacted me recently after I uploaded it to Youtube so I would submit it, I decided that my production and skills were more mature than at that time, so I chose to enhance it much. The percussion was entirely redone, there are many subtle additions, mainly orchestral embellishment and it has better EQ/production all throughout. It's also even longer (gasp!:) but I guess it works considering the ambient nature of the track. I hope you sit back and enjoy this remix for what it is: chill!  (released in 2012 on OCReMix)


Final Fantasy XI - "Paradis" (Heavens Tower Remix) | 2012

Made in 12+ hours in 2004 during 24 hours of "on and off" work for EMC 2.

Has inspiration from some Hans Zimmer themes & Final Fantasy VII. Theme was "Overworld Theme for a RPG".

Onto the Light | 2004

Short concept track made in 2007 for a PS3-gen prototype. I like the peaceful mood it has :)

Tranquil Yard | 2007

What happens when you combine two awesome things? Hopefully some awesome stuff! This was created in Schism Tracker using samples from the Super Nintendo game 'Final Fantasy VI' by Squaresoft. This is a 8-channel module and it only uses virtual channels for light echo simulation. I think it follows SNES rules closely enough :)

Was featured on the awesome "Video Game of Thrones: The Legend of Zelda" by The Pixel Kingdom : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBZQ0ffNnWc

Game of Thrones - Main Title (Super NES sounds)| 2012

Originally made for a PlayStation 3 / XBOX 360 game project's website in 2006. Ambient/soundtrack with asian flavor.

Doubting Sunset | 2006

2014. Made on my stream in 3 hours. It's a love song, but is it?

Back of the Attic | 2014

Final version of this track was released on my "Metamorphoses" EP, available on all streaming & buying platforms : https://song.link/album/i/1299388085

Erased Tapes artists and friends Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm have separately carved out a musical career that defies genres both with their unique live shows and a loyal fan base that’s always eager to hear what their prolific output will bring. 

Their latest collaborative 2-track release ‘Life Story Love and Glory’ is a live improv affair on two pianos, recorded in 2012 at Nils’s Durton Studio in Berlin. Fans may wonder why they have waited until 2015 to release these tracks, but having revealed a new website www.arnaldsfrahm.com you may think this may not be the end to their musical story this year. 

“We would meet in Reykjavik or Berlin with the intention to share some days off work, hiking, swimming or eating pizza. That is great for a couple days, but after a while we would always end up back in the studio, fiddling with synths or pianos.” – Nils Frahm 
“You can hear in the beginning of ‘Life Story’ how I have already started playing the piano whilst Nils is still moving microphones around and preparing everything. It was all kept in!“ – Ólafur Arnalds 

‘Life Story Love and Glory’ will be released as a 7” on Erased Tapes – exclusively through record stores only on August 21, 2015 ahead of its digital release later on – as an ode to this classic and beloved format.
