New album

Post by skalpel » Wed Mar 16, 2016 7:27 pm

So my first album in years has been released, and if anybody here is interested in hearing it then you can get it on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play Music, and a bunch of other places. It's ambient, introspective sort of stuff, and the feedback I'm getting so far is that it sounds pretty cinematic/movie-soundtrack-ish. It sounds its best in the evening or at night.

I've not started any kind of marketing for this yet, but I thought I'd mention it to the good folk of TF first, because you all rule. So you're among the first people with a chance to hear it <diva>.

Here's a preview of the album:

If you like the sounds of it, I'd really appreciate it if you mentioned it to someone else, gave the brand new Facebook page a like, streamed it on Spotify or bought it or anything like that.

Here's a couple of random links:

Haven't you had such a great time on this forum over the years? Think of all the wonderful moments that have helped to shape your life into the incredible form it takes today. Think of how much poorer your life would be without the presence of Wenger face, divadance, divom, divax blah blah &c. &c.
Cheers folks.

Needs more cowbell.

It's not really my sort of music but congrats on creating the album and best of luck with the release!

Actually that is one of the places my distributor sent the album, so if it isn't there now it should be at some point.

I have no idea what ambient/introspective music sounds like but I'll give it a go. Is it anything like this?

It's too abstract for my simple mind to fully understand, but there's an interesting ambience to it. It's a little sinister at some points, should maybe call it 'Salad Fingers Goes To Green Park' or something <ok>

I had it on while I was reading earlier and it's quite relaxing. It's not the sort of thing I'd ordinarily go for, but obviously requires some skill so I can appreciate it all the same <ok>.

Seems suitably ominous for derby day eve, although Soundcloud then jumped into some intense trance...

We could go full myspace and embed it autoplaying on loop with no controls. <divax>

Thanks a lot lads. Ambient isn't exactly music with wide appeal so I really appreciate you taking the time to listen.

Also I think Salad Fingers uses Aphex Twin's ambient works as background music, so thanks for the compliment <whistle>.

I preferred Hewf Ball, but good nonetheless.
