EP of autumn ambient/soundscapes

[holden]

Folks,

It's been an absolutely beautiful autumn week- sunny, 70-ish, crisp mornings, leaves a'falling on my head. Of course, now that it's monday morning, it's dark and rainy, but that's fitting.

Inspired by this, as well as some newfound wonderment in plugging in my keyboard and guitars into effects pedals, here's a short collection of ambient songs. Or maybe more "IDM" or soundscaping? Who knows, you tell me.

Mental Health Consumer: "the measurement spoils the data" EP


Just 6 tracks, ~20 minutes, plus cover art. Have a fun fall day with 'em.
Any feedback is appreciated!

regards,
Holden

Cheers, Jan. Glad it's resonating!

I'm starting a netlabel with a collaborator, and hopefully this makes its way to a more immediate format. In the meantime, sorry about the sendspace link - but it's a small file and shoul (hopefully) download fast.

These are some of the most immediate tracks i've ever made. Since 2002, i've made an album every 6 months, laboring over many choices and edits.
This captures the mood of a few Fall days.

I'm excited to archive past output and share under the creative commons license (e.g. i know it's doubtful i'll ever get signed, and why go on someone else's netlabel when i can make my own?!). I just hope someone out there (you?) gets a few minutes of enjoyment out of my many hours of cathartic composition.

Glad I've downloaded it before you did that :)

I think you've produced some very nice ambient. These sounds are very calming and work pretty good when I'm studying.

Thanks!

You have got the mood spot on and the artwork is nice too, good look with the release mate.
