hey kids,
this is a, well, with low quality and not full band, a somewhat promotional video of our debut concert we played yesterday.
we played with two guitars, saxophone and cello, got ready with visuals, one of our friend danced for us,
created some nice atmosphere. this video collides three different songs, anyway..
I decided to share :P
full concert:

i guess i'm not artsy and new age-y enough. cause i have no idea what i just watched.
as I said, in this video there isn't one whole song, just excerpts from three different songs.
and the camera was shitty, so it only filmed the visuals, one isn't able to see me and my friend, or anything else :) that sucks of course.
I'd rather post some pictures lately, maybe then it will be understandable.

noice
Yoda, when I'll be having one of the major concerts some day with more preparation and full band, I will require you to be there :P not that long a trip.
by the way, I am now uploading the other stuff you've asked me.
will send you a link later :)
I actually enjoyed that... Good job dude...

our drumless bassless voiceless abstract concert :)
enjoy. and please leave feedback
just listened to the first song. liked it.
I'm at the second one now, digging it even more.
What's the guy at the computer doing? Just controlling the images?
edit: what pedals do you use?

yeah, he's in control of the images.. I dislike him being in the center of the view here.. anyway.
and pedals.. ehm, I am using only a cheap processor, ZOOM G1, my bandmate has three pedals, reverb delay and distortion, I do not know what kind are they..
we're having our next show on jan 29, we'll try to video it too,
and there will probably be this guy that will record good quality input audio, nice. and we've got some offerings from a local label to record our debut album :) nice news
good stuff man. very beautiful. im proud of you

:o nice.
;)
is anyone interested of the bootleg of our last show?
the quality is bearable, though it is best to listen through the headphones.
some minimalistic stuff, two guitars, bass, sax/cello and some samples.
so, if anyone is interested I could upload it.

I was quite bored tonight so made a new video.
just.. random.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tO48B38KGA
Hey man that is nicely done! the footage corresponds well with the mood of slow attack. where do you get them?
Also had a chance to listen to Picturesque last night, quite soothing!
anyway, keep up the beautiful sounds! ;)

the footage is generally from archive.org. I just love that site, those are legal high quality archives - sounds, videos, picture, texts.. I just choose the prelinger archives and then search for some old old videos :)
thanks for the praise!
I see. i understand that slow attack and picturesque are two different things?
Quote from: fliesinajar on May 01, 2009, 10:18 AM
I see. i understand that slow attack and picturesque are two different things?
yes.
slowattack is a band I'm in, with five members (two guitars, bass, drums, saxophone/cello), we play much live, something close to post-rock..
and the Picturesque Episodes is my personal stuff. Just what I do home, recording, etc :)
edit: plus, most of the slowattack things you will find on the internet are done by me (those videos, myspace demos etc). we're not yet recording anything, just playing many shows.. (with slowattack)
hey kids,
here's a recording of our jam session in one of our city's outdoor event. there weren't too much audience, though the people that came were really nice. we just jammed two hours away, played some songs that we already played some time ago, and also created and jammed some new stuff out there.
don't be mad about quality, our mistakes (they're ought to happen when you're improvising on the spot), our drummer (he's a very shy person and was quite shocked to see that many people came to watch us so made some mistakes) and the moving sound whatsoever.
this is only half of the show, and what is typical is that our favourite songs are on the other part of the show which was not recorded. that sucks.. nonetheless I like having this record.
tracklist:
1. jam #0 - created on the spot like all the other jams
2. jam #1
3. bedroom ambience
4. astronauts
5. kaleidoscope
6. jam #2
7. jam #3
http://rapidshare.com/files/229197235/slowattack_GMD_Kaunas_live.rar.html
tell me if the link expires etc
feedback is much appreciated.
hey, check out the new track I put up on MySpace, 'Lullaby for the Owls'.
that is totally ambient approach.. I want to write a full album of ambient sleeping music.
http://www.myspace.com/thepicturesqueepisodes
you. recording studio. nao.
This is good stuff..I get in these moods where I want to just kick back and listen to that "free your mind" type of music. Thank you and your band for me for getting together and making an original, unique sound.
man, thanks for these nice words!
I really appreciate it :)
generally.. we will go to the recording studio this fall.. to record our debut album.
for the moment, you should visit our myspace, I uploaded some songs from our rehearsal. the quality sucks badly etc, but it's better than nothing at all.
by the way, I think we'll be getting a decent quality recording of our show 05/29; the sound man was recording the whole thing.. so if it is of decent quality I'll mix it up and share it with you guys.
Yup, I already downloaded yalls live jams bootleg and checked the myspace. I really dig Iceberg. Too bad it's so short..those are the kinds of songs you don't want to end so quickly.
nonetheless you liked it, it's still shaping up difficult.. I mean we cannot find the proper version/etc to play. drums or no drums, how many guitars, what effects etc, maaaaan.
btw, I got a 50 sec preview of our live recording from the show, man, the quality is AWESOME.
can't wait to get the whole thing and share it with you
Post it, brethren. Also..any chance you have mp3s of the demos?
I do, I can upload them later today if you want to.
though I'd encourage you to wait for the live show recording, cause basically it's the same thing musically, just the quality will be better.. but still the sound guy did not send me the files.
annoying.
by the way, I will also be uploading my other ambient stuff today, me and my bandmate from slowattack were recording some accordion yesterday :)
hey,
so here's the bootleg of our 09.05.29 show in one small club.
forgive us for the mistakes, by the way at times saxophone overwhelms other instruments, and the bass is really not so clear at all. lul.
playlist:
1. Intro
2. Kaleidoscope
3. Bedroom Ambience
(3,5. All Flights are Cancelled (reprise: saxophone solo))
4. Iceberg
5. Astronauts
6. (the Burden of) Sleep
7. All Flights are Cancelled
8. The Sun
(8,5. All Flights are Cancelled (reprise: saxophone solo))
9. Record the Horizon
10. The Ocean
11. 34°21'29"S - 18°28'19"E (a.k.a. Coordinates)
http://www.mediafire.com/?fjnwtrffnfz
enjoy and please give feedback :)
*downloading now* :)
maaaaaaan, I feel pressure ;D
So I listened to the album over the past couple of days and I must say, I'm impressed. It's really laid back music -- something I could put on before I go to bed and drift into a dream with. And you're right about the sax, very overwhelming at times but nonetheless a good effort..keep up the good work man.
P.S. Iceberg was fucking awesome live.
maan.. I nonetheless believe Iceberg totally sucked..
we did not get the intro right, and everything was clumsy.
we are starting to call this song the "CLUMSY UNCOMFORTABLE SONG".
still, glad you like it!
Darius, I am loving All Flights are Cancelled, and The Ocean. :)
thank you, Jackie!
ah, you should have seen the performance live.. not only the visuals and our modern dance dancer made everything look nice, but also the sound was totally different; here mostly you can hear the "highs".. drums and high guitars, but there's no real "explosion" is it sounds like live on the breakdown.
eeeeeeeeeeeh

Haha..shameless promotion. I'll check it out.
so, kids, how is my ambient recording?
I write to remember is a reference to Wolverine's last dialog in the film, isn't it bro? "do you drink to forget? _I drink to remember". I had a quick snapshot on your tunes, they seemed quite groove for me, but I want to hear them in more deepness to have an opinion. For now I'll just say It's perfect music to read.

Quotedissect a trillion sighs away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember
'cause i'm a million miles away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember...
nonetheless your interpretation is just as nice and interesting :)
listen to my newest ambient stuff, that will be perfect for reading, I guess :)
that's what I checked actually, used Lullaby for the owls on repeat to read a Sigmunds freud book about the interpretation of dream in fact.
everybody seems to be liking Lullaby very much :)

omg these are all your music ?
you should be in deftones,
so we could have 37 albums now
lol, man, you made me laugh quite good.
yeah, and this is not everything.
I have four more albums in my computer which never reached the daylight and never will. cause they do not please me with loss of quality etc.
can you suggest me one album so i can listen carefully
the problem is they differ greatly.
Dreams and Dreams II are purely ambient. no drums, no nothing, just ambience.
while Deconstruct is more "approachable" with synthetic drums, bass and stuff like that.
Goddess is more of a one piece creation..
I'd honestly suggest to try them all, lol.
but for the beginning.. hm.
maybe begin with Dreams.
mmm
wait for my review !
Gonna check this stuff out as soon as humanly possible.
wow, okay. yet people I hope you know that it's, like, ambient.
okay I'll stop bringing my lack of self-esteem right about
NOW
Hey The out circuit's fan, I was remembering an old piece of music I made circa 2007 and it's the type of melody you'd come up with. The track is REALLY simple. Feel free to play over it and manipulate it how much you want to, maybe something cool will come up who knows.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ymmziw2emma
uhm, you've got some bad timing, man
I mean, tomorrow I'm leaving off to Ireland for 2 months and I'm not sure I'll be able to sit down and work with music for a while. but as soon as I am able I will try something out
cheers!
this is lovely, I'll surely be doing something with this.
wait about a week or more please
though daaaaaaaaamn I'll have no access to my guitar. fuck man why did you send me this just now, hah :)
hahhahaha, no problem...I don't know why I didn't think about you collaborating with it before, since this little piece was recorded in like october 07. I think one thing (your pictureesque album) led to another (me remembering this existed). With time I created another gentle guitar line that is over it, so whenever I have my pod xt live again I'll record it so you can play with it. why are yuo visiting ireland? I'm curious. Bon voyage, by the way ;).
I'm in Ireland because my brother lives here, I come visit on summers, maybe I'll get a summer job cause I badly need a new laptop you know.. it's a shame I cannot yet take my guitar here, I would play with your recording, had some nice ideas.
well will do it in two months anyway :)
man i listen your both dreams (that ambient albums) they recorded really quality. And good stuffs in it
- you know this is the part of usin ''but'' word - :
even its ambient songs really dont have their own melodies or own names or own identity or own world..i mean i understand its ambient but this way songs kind of alone, long and that bores me
i think there are so many unnecesary same organ (or snyth) sounds there.
again songs are quality but coward
but your decon album is awesome man !
- vision q : its like team sleep works, why dont you add some lyrics
- I write : the end part is cool but its too long, get me bored , also i hate birds :)
- drones : Here's my favorite, you should absolutely turn this one to a song
- this story : really interesting and cool effects....
- reminiscience: cool drums cool atmosphere, but nothing special (melody , riff or smthng need)
- nothern lights : sweet but song doesnt have any verse1-2 and chorous part always the same part..it begins and it ends
- clouds : very good. so much difference there but i like it..its good to hear some woman voices damnit
- my mother : i didnt like it
- heartbeat : its fine, in somewhere its getting wrong but cool anyway...........i really want you to add some sharp things to add (guitar,not echoed piano or or someshit) you guys sounds like team sleep
- your heart : at last something about voice and its sharp ! but then that organ atmosphere again...
i hope you dont get me wrong, you guys dont need any positive critics you need negative ones...
i ll listen your last album tomorrow..
hey,
well yeah, negative critique is really better than the positive one.
and I do agree with your thoughts about the lack of substace and emotion, I'd say.
all points taken, thanks for your thoughts, I had nice time reading all of that
nice when people react to someone's making
you know my english suck, i couldnt tell the real critics cause of that..
its great to give some opinion to a band which made that songs
one day if you guys would be famous go and tell chino ''frost says release that fuckin eros album''
probably that will be the same time
by the way, remember that is is not my bands work. it's my solo work.
I am the only one who does everything in those demos :)
WOHOOOO
i thought its all your band's work
YOU ARE A GENIUS MAN !!!
do you have any band ?
if so can we listen ?
I have it, yet we didn't record nothing until now, we have only live records and some lame demos

hello guys,
so, here are three links to three of my best works - imo - released in Wise Owl Records.
all the releases are for free to download.
http://wiseowlrecords.com/releases/view/54 - Dreams ((genre:ambient))
http://wiseowlrecords.com/releases/view/61 - Dreams II ((genre:ambient))
http://wiseowlrecords.com/releases/view/63 - Strange Lights and Ornaments ((final version of Deconstruct; genre:post-rock/ambient))
enjoy!
ps. there's something wrong with the cover of Strange Lights and Ornaments :/
hope it gets fixed soon,
what's great is that now your stuff is showing up on sordo. that must mean you've made it!
but seriously, the 3 releases I downloaded are pretty much awesome, dude. keep it up!
huh, seriosly, sordo? :D
haven't seen that one. well that's nice.
yeah.. as soon as I get back to Lithuania to my precious guitar.. we'll continue
Darius, please reupload Deconstruct, I'm downloading your entire discography and this one is missing.
Quote from: Deftones-argentina on Aug 30, 2009, 09:55 PM
Darius, please reupload Deconstruct, I'm downloading your entire discography and this one is missing.
don't bother, Deconstruct is roughly a demo version of Strange Lights and Ornaments. it's not worth listening cause basically it is the same thing :)
Hey dude, when are we gonna work together to do some sweet calming music?
we could start anytime, though at this point I am writing two albums simultaniously. but yeah, we can!
I have another thing to share, it's me and my band's slowattack Live EP.
the quality sucks, our playing sucks, but it's really honest.
and please try to ignore me and the other guitarist reading some lame ass poetry in the beginning and the end of the record. it was a modern poetry festival, so we had to improvise.. anyway, enjoy. yes, we do make a lot of mistakes and we're not professional musicians :)

I was really bored today, so I made a somewhat promotional video of my solo act, the Picturesque Episodes.
Hell yeah visual and sound chaos
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyD7WZPLle4#)
that's really cool.
I am planning to make a stop-motion video for "Fig. V" from "Lonesome Sky in H Minor" and a "regular" yet experimental/etc video for "Fig. I".
Even though by then I'll probably have like three more albums out, lulz..
I did finish Dreams III few days ago. Waiting on the release date..
Kinda crazy. Not sure where do all those music ideas come from
brilliant!
thanks you lovelies
I was bored today and made an EPK kinda video for the Picturesque Episodes.
some amateur stuff, lol..

anyway, glad you like it, wither, you know, it's like - you're my hero for painting, I'm your hero for music. it's just lovely you know
by the way, rock_n_frost, yes, I will be singing on some upcoming records. and no it's not like your everyday mainstream record singing, but that will happen :)
i know right!
and your music is a constant when im painting, it really helps the emotions flow. so youre a big inspiration in my work
cheers to life and creation!
surely, cheers!
strange lights and ornaments is like the greatest thing ive heard.
im seriously smitten by that album
Quote from: wither-I on Dec 31, 2009, 04:46 PM

that's interesting. I personally could say that Lonesome Sky in H Minor is better for me, I mean, it's more conceptual, though in the same way Strange Lights and Ornaments contains some of my favourite songs, like Clouds, Have You Lost Your Name and, obviously Vision Quest to the Red Mountain (which imo is one of ten best songs I've ever created, along with Fig. V, Fig. IX etc).
I am now making my sixth album (fifth one - Dreams III will be released this january, later), '51 Seconds in the Desert' which should be more similar to Strange Lights and Ornaments than Lonesome Sky in H Minor. You could say the songs are more energy driven :)
Anyway, I really appreciate you like my music, and you know that:)
Some more ambience:
(http://wiseowlrecords.com/static/artwork/OWL-071.jpg)
The third installment of the Dreams project is the height of Darius Gerulis' work as the Picturesque Episodes. Continuing the themes of its prequels, the album is warmly ambient with myriad sparkling artifacts and textures that keep the listener engaged. The crumpled guitar textures in the third track, épisode I: Le Petit Prince are vaguely reminiscent of Steven R. Smith, however the evolution of the piece is highly unique and exhibits profound evidence of Gerulis' strength as a composer. Dreams III leaves behind an astounding expectation of things to come. This is not a release to be missed.

I could hear the first song and Happiness is just a word. Truly amazing darius, you did it again. You have some magic attached when it comes to choosing the names for the songs, by the way.

thank you! I really love "writing" titles, I guess you should love the upcoming Constellations' titles!
and there is quite a lot of "me" in the titles, for example - 'épisode I: Le Petit Prince' is about how I am "the Little Prince" in relationship with my brother (yes, those two talking children in the background are me and my brother), and the 'épisode II: L'essentiel Est Invisible' means that in my relationship with my brother we don't need no "materialism" to prove we love each other deeply. essential things are invisible:)
and I just love repeating themes (cause there are a lot of recurring themes in my dreams) for example, a low star which means a static "north" which does not ever change no matter what happens in life. if you're struck down in life, you can always look up to the sky - you will always see the low star, no matter where on the globe you are. Also, the bracket songs - as you could have noticed, all my albums contain one song, which title is in brackets - (stars), (universe), (intermission), (fiction), (sleep). I'm not sure why was I doing this, but I guess Constellations will ruin this "tradition".
Anyway, so much for me talking about my music..
I am REALLY glad you are enjoying this
edit: by the way, I found a poem which inspired me to create three songs dealing with "A Low Star"
don't be too hard on it, I'm not the mostly gifted writer/rhymer, and this was written some 3-4 years ago anyway
A LOW STAR
..ants digging up the ground
and down them do I slowly frown.
Swivel round six times,
and I'll lie open in the glance -
A star low and barely known
floating by the skyline,
painted red and blue -
inside my twisted spine vine.
Yet I watched the star
like a melody so sweet - to repeat - for a thousandth time,
relapse, relapse, relapse -
I watched.
Whether or not is this a dream,
swivel back six times
and I am back remembered
at the driest grounds.
Each and every rhyme,
swivel round six times
ants hidden down the glass..
the star has then escaped.
You seem to have a deep admiration towards your brother, do your dreams often includes him? If I can remember well he lives far away from you, didn't he?
I liked the last two lines of the poem, by the way. Really misterious I must say.
by the way, judging from the 10 tracks that the zip saved, Dreams III is my new favourite.
yes, me and my brother have indeed an amazingly strong bond, because he is living abroad for about five years now = major chunk of my life when I could use him being here with me. Anyway, I've got plans to move in with him after I finish my university, to live in one country - at least, you know :) Life has been grateful to me by giving me that kind of a brother. And yes, I have a lot of dreams with him - obviously because I miss him A LOT.

I downloaded and liked it, but I still like what I heard on dreams III better. It may be for the chord progression or the sound. Loved the role of the drumkit, though. Maybe with a second heard I'll understand the song better.

well, Dreams series and my other albums are, you know, two different sides of me as an artist - ambient and post-rock. Some people like dreams series more, some people like the instrumental albums more. To each his own :)
yet another new song from me, I'm quite excited about this one. Track number 8, 'Thirst'.
I noticed I keep getting noisier and noisier. I just love explosions in the music, I guess, lol.

the cover.. I am having a lot of problem with that. No matter how much do I love the picture, I think I will not be able to use it for the release cover. Because I have no idea whose it is. I was trying to go through with "not intended for profit, all rights belong to the respective authors", but the head of my label told me he will not be able to release the album if I do not get the permission.
And I have no leads on whose this picture is; just found it on a random myspace; the owner of that myspace told me he used this picture for years now and had no idea whose it is. sucks.
beautiful ireland!

you can use it, i believe, as long as you say 'the following photo is a found image and all credit goes to the photographer who remains unknown' or something like that. you're not claiming ownership and as far as you are aware there isn't a copyright on the photo because it's being used and distributed on the internet. you're technically giving the photographer credit, you're just not naming them because you don't know who they are. use it, and if the photographer contacts you then you can give them credit on your next release. and perhaps you might even use another image of theirs. this is actually the only way you will know whose image it is.
beirut's zack condon had the same problem. he had found an image in a library book while he was in eastern europe and used it as the cover for gulag orkestar. it turned out to be a photo by the amazing sergey chilikov.
I actually found two of the artists that made this picture couple of hours ago. One of them had the original photo, stock photographer, the other one manipulated digitally with the picture to make the stars/atmosphere. So generally I contacted the second person (cause I am using kinda his work, stock rules etc), will be waiting for his reply.
I did mention that I am a non-profit artist and that the album will not be used for commercial purpose etc etc etc.
Hope it is all well and he will not ask thousands of dollars for the rights etc. Then I'll have to look for something else..
By the way, blixa, since your music taste is quite interesting, I'd suggest you try any of my Dreams series albums. It's ambient music, emotionally charged yet experimental.
I'd first try with II or III part. or I. well I don't know, they are quite different - while Dreams I is more abstract, Dreams II is somewhat more based on "structure", Dreams III is mostly minimalistic. Your choice :) I'd go with III or II
QuoteOWL-071 the Picturesque Episodes - Dreams III
The third installment of the Dreams project is the height of Darius Gerulis' work as the Picturesque Episodes. Continuing the themes of its prequels, the album is warmly ambient with myriad sparkling artifacts and textures that keep the listener engaged. The crumpled guitar textures in the third track, épisode I: Le Petit Prince are vaguely reminiscent of Steven R. Smith, however the evolution of the piece is highly unique and exhibits profound evidence of Gerulis' strength as a composer. Dreams III leaves behind an astounding expectation of things to come. This is not a release to be missed.

OWL-053 the Picturesque Episodes - Dreams II
The second installment in the Picturesque Episodes' Dreams series features twelve tracks of remarkably soothing ambiance with titles such as "March of the Moths" and "I Keep Dreaming Places I've Never Been." A wonderful follow-up to the fantastic Dreams.

Gorgeous organic ambiance. Go to the park on the sunniest day this summer and take a nap in the grass with these sounds piping through your headphones. Trust me.
http://wor.raptorhideout.com/owl50.zip (http://wor.raptorhideout.com/owl50.zip)
hope they say yes! the image works perfectly. you should still email the photographer because it is more his image than anyone elses. he is the producer of the image. i studied this for a whole semester. email the photographer.
you're so fucking adorable, man. i'm going to download the dream series. i'm sure i'll love it.
I think I will probably email him too.
Just to make sure. I don't want a lawsuit on my hands or something.
Hope you will enjoy the musical form of my thoughts and dreams. :)

I did enjoy recording it a lot. You'll see more of generalized "rocky" sound in this album. This album is definitely more "rock" driven over "ambient". Though, of course, there are enough silent/calm/sweet moments. But I am enjoying myself with bringing everything to this direction.
had some spare time on my hands, decided to make a home-made video for one of my songs
[youtube=425,350]xGtzuRNGWlk[/youtube]
Darius, Could you upload track 6 from Dream III? that file failed when I downloaded it.
By the way, I've been having one of dreams III's song on eternal repeat for the entire day at work (it sounds confusing, I think you get the idea). A partner of mine said you music makes him feels good.
which song is it anyway? I'm really interested!
btw, you really missed out an awesome track by not having the track 6.
it's 'MiGla AuGul-Glos / the Glow'. pretty much my favorite track on this album. but you have to listen to it with track 5.. you know :)

I'm liking it so far. And i love the cover.
check out the storybook pdf :)
i did, and i like it. Good job.
thanks, man!
yeah seriously the music is phenominal, and then that storybook... great idea!!
anyone who sees this thread NEEDS to get this album asap.
I listened all the way through it, and i found most of it to be very interesting. I like the "heavier" and more dense parts. The highlight for me was the first track. I'm still not too fond of the programmed drums, though i guess it makes the whole progress easier for you.
I'm gonna check it out later tonight. pretty excited to hear it, I've liked everything I've heard from you before.

most definitely yes (about the drums).
I am glad you all like it so far! It does mean a lot to me :)
The Floating Mountains is definitely my favorite track. especially the final minute of it.
I've noticed that some people see this track as a stand out - especially, the breakdown-final-minute-thing.
And for me personally it's quite interesting how the song evolved through a couple of years, and changed from a ambient-driven piano song to a rocking-out harmony-noise song :) weird!
you're my hero :)
love it all
glad you like it! :)

a sequel to all the things lost between the stars
and what happened with the lithuanian Ep darius?
track 3 of the lithuaniam Ep is truly dope. Love all the green-coloured imagination that comes to me whenever I hear it (i'm not talking about pot, by the way)
wait, what? you're already coming out with another album?
the dude is on fire
waaaaaaaaah lots of posts and all -
Mister Argentina, well, I am communicating with some labels about releasing it, though it got automatically released at TheSirensSound. All in time, I guess.
The other.. new.. etc album should come out by the end of summer. No other releases up to that point :) just to get things clear.

http://soundcloud.com/the-picturesque-episodes/the-disappearance-demo (http://soundcloud.com/the-picturesque-episodes/the-disappearance-demo)
sir, i must say "constellations" is a favourite album on constant rotation
have you heard Songs of the Nightingales?
I believe this album, 'Endless Lullabies' (a.k.a. "His Unfortunate Eternity in H Minor Whilst in Convergence with Endless Lullabies, Forever") will be the best of everything I've done. I'm glad I am progressing towards what I like in my music.
a fresh first track from "Endless Lullabies", song - "The Endless Blooms" http://soundcloud.com/the-picturesque-episodes/the-endless-blooms (http://soundcloud.com/the-picturesque-episodes/the-endless-blooms)

ENDLESS SPAM
drone/lullabies/neo-classical/oceanic
well i figured it's time i give your music a listen. downloading a few of them.
I'd recommend either Constellations (rocky stuff) or Songs of the Nightingales/the Reimagined Sleep Soundtrack (neo-classical/ambient/drone).
Cause basically I really consider myself having only five "real" albums -
Lonesome Sky in H Minor
Dreams III
Constellations
Songs of the Nightingales
the Reimagined Sleep Soundtrack
everything that went before is.. different, demo-like basically. experiments that got to be released to the people.
but i really liked those early "Dreams"
i downloaded constellations to start with. very much digging it so far. i'm impressed. i knew you made a shit ton of music but i didn't know it was this good.

I don't say I don't value Dreams I/II. They are good records, but they lack essence/quality/mixing+mastering, basically things are way too experimental there, the structure is chaotic and faulty. I want my listeners to hear the best that comes out of my head! And as for the Strange Lights and Ornaments, it's basically a collection of demo songs without any connection in between. Like Team Sleep's Unmastered Unreleased. Just songs :)

I am superhappy you like it! The next place (if you enjoyed Constellations that much) would probably be Lonesome Sky in H Minor, though it's different.
The point is, every album I release is different musically. Constellation was the mostly, em, approachable? Structured as a "rock album".
well sir you've gained a new fan. also expect to have a few more listeners because your stuff is about to be shared with many people i know.
Thank you, man!
I'm just sharing my life with you through my music :)

dreams II has a nice start & finish, for example (I'm not convinced about the mix on My acoustic dream, though. Sometimes the volumes feel too edgy.)

these are the demos of the first tracks anyway, basically there will be some more vocals, cleasing, mix and mastering changes etc, but structurally and emotionally - that's what is here.
some other tracks will be quite different altogether.
01. the Endless Blooms
02. the Majestic Eternal Night
03. the Still Silent Years (Hydrocodone)
04. the Darkest Swan
05. the Ghosts (死霊)
06. the Time Addict's Looking Glass
07. the Sadness Within the Rose
08. the Pilot (Has Been Utterly Changed into Fire)
09. the High Star
10. the End (Floating in Space Endlessly)
basically, tracks 4, 5 and 10 will contain something I have never done before. I am looking forward to completing all of this, but the release date is pushed back towards late autumn or even winter.. :)

finale from "Silk Spaceport".
Drone. Forgiveness. Sleep. Dream. Fade away.
wow heavy shit man. but a very nice dedication of course.
by the way, check out the site bandcamp, pretty nice site where you could put all your releases (if you havn't have one already that is).
I already use bandcamp :)
nice that you have some interesting thoughts about my sounds :)
the album will be late for a week, I know it destroys the date, but I just did not have enough time.
Dope song. The piano part is really nice.
really looking forward to hearing it....
well, this album is gonna be different from anything else I've done. I don't even have a genre for this..
and of course, thank you for your good thoughts :)
since you're all my buddies, you get to taste the album before the release.
this is the late demo, some things will still be improved, but I am pretty much satisfied with this abstract-ish album.
The album contains an overdose story musically.
The alternative ending.. well, if you are human you may get the idea which ending is more positive and which ending is more.. negative?

DOPE
just noise, mi amigo, noise
my first thoughts are to not really call it drone. in my opinion it's kind of more ambient or maybe even post-rock-ish. mostly because it's more interesting than the normal drone i hear.
but i'm definitely digging this a lot :)

downloading now. i can't imagine your stuff being overly dark but it seems more up my alley. either way i'm sure i'll enjoy it.
Darius, just wanted to say that this album is my favourite from you among dreams III. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Silk spaceport has a really focused and solid identity. Loved the first track, in fact it's the first song I listened to when I was informed that my brother was going to be father and captured that feeling of early christmas really well for me.
Fella, I'd love you to collaborate on a track of my band's LP. It's a piece similar to Thrice's Nightdiving and your atmospherics should mesh well with the rest. As soon as I have a demo i'm sending it to you.
thank you, sing blue silver!

Somehow I thought you'd like it :)
I would love to collaborate but I cannot promise nothing magical!
I'm thinking about sharing a couple of new track demos which I am very proud of. Surely the best things I've done so far.
What do you think?
Point is, I don't want the demo to ruin the idea that the songs will sound a little different, more mastered, more perfected etc.
And yes, you will feel that my emotions, styles and atmospheres are little changed.
Cosmic-rock it is then..
lay it on me
on me too, We need & deserve (?) some new darius material. (i hate to call you picturesque episodes, so your folder is labeled as Lostpilot)
I will probably share them soon.
I am really happy with what became from the songs, no matter how blueprint'ishy they are right now. Still. They are different. Much more percussion.
I want to achieve sort of a tribal element in this album, which I have been obsessed with, so percussion is important. Yet I still cannot seem to find good mixing strategy for the drums to sound nice.. they sound okay now, I need more :)
and some songs are slowly moving towards lo-fi end.. but still are somewhat mixed accordingly.
this album is weird. I mean, you can expect things after Endless Blooms, but the album shifts there greatly, back and forth, back and forth. Lots of varied shit.
I will stop making excuses for my personal creations right - about - NOW.
edit: nothing here for now
D, you were right. Your music is to embrace its biggest change ever. The songs sound huge, they could touch trillions of people without loosing a bit of its essence. I couldn't help but smile when listening to the first notes of the Multiverse. still, I'd like you to work on developing the drum programing skills, which is kind of the weak point of your recordings (still in this demos they are quite better I think). Maybe some drummer you know, or from internet? I don't know.
Last but not least, I encourage you to use Marimba on this next batch of compositions, the timing is definetively right.
Take a look how they sound: (this is a little midi I took the oportunity to write in the moment and add some fx's just for the sake of adding something creative to it, hope it enhances the experience ) http://www.mediafire.com/?m60ac59c4obth4c (http://www.mediafire.com/?m60ac59c4obth4c)
Yes, I have to find a way to program drums better. I think what I will do is get a very special reverb for the drums, vary the intensity, maybe use other samples.. I'm happy with the drums in Blooms, but other songs still have to improve. I will have to find a way. I don't really know :)
you could give me advice on the mixing/mastering the drums or something. anyway.
I believe this could be THE record :)
I'd preffer you send me the drums on a stereo track & the music in another to test my thoughts and adjusting them before giving a possible solution to you. But anyway I highly reccomend you do some more research on drum programming & libraries before acting on its sound. A few people here might be in the know how.

Wow, just how long is this album?!
Quote from: bright lights, big city on Dec 31, 2010, 02:31 AM
Wow, just how long is this album?!
well.. I will try to fit into 90 minutes, a length of a CD (cause most likely this one will be released as such).
I present you the cover of the soon-to-come-out EP, the last stop before "Endless Lullabies" - "Sleeping in the Opiate Forest" EP.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5284/5351757998_29bb99e714.jpg)
News about "Endless Lullabies". The album will most likely be released in the end of February. I am very very very excited about this album.
The album is composed from three continuous movements -
I. Movement I:
01. the Endless Blooms
02. the Eternal Nightmare
03. the Still Silent Years (Hydrocodone)
04. the Multiverse
II. Movement II:
05. the Darkest Swan
06. the Time Addict's Looking Glass
07. the Sadness Within the Rose
III. Movement III:
08. the High Star
09. the Endless Lullabies
The approximate time for each movement is about 35-40 minutes, and I could say that separate movements act as separate acts of the story in the album. I remind you, Endless Lullabies is the third and final part of my conceptual Low Star Trilogy (first part was 'Lonesone Sky in H Minor', even though the official story was never published with the album; second part was 'Constellations' with story in the storybook). In this album, the nameless protagonist deals with an idea of eternal life.
Also, I might publish the "Low Star" novel later in 2011, as a full trilogy story release in one book.
badass dude. as always, i'm looking forward to hearing new tunes!
so it's sounding like Endless Lullabies will potentially be around 2 hours? i like.
Yes, around two hours. Sometimes I think that it might be too much for most listeners, but at this point I am concerned with the final form of the album - every part is important, every part is completely different. I could say, that this album will have everything my music can offer (edit: in this particular story and context).
For example; the Darkest Swan will be a (even somewhat doom-)drone song, evolving into a kind of tribal post-metal sound, then the direction of music is completely changed with the Looking Glass - more like beautiful soft texture-rock evolving into dark ambient with acoustic guitars and into epic deep (yet not noisy) pulsating drone of the Sadness which changes into a melancholic cosmic waltz of sorts..
There will be many, many things in this album.
I wish I had your motivation. You seem to get a lot of shit done.

Well, for me creating music is not like just composing, writing, recording and mixing - it's the fundamental self-expression form for me and my experiences, dreams, visions and so on.. it's difficult to describe. that is why I release so much music - it just flows from me, somehow.
new release on February 5th!
A live album - "Sleeping in the Opiate Forest".
Of course, depends on what you call live. Subjectivity.
Six tracks, 30 minutes. Minimalistic, drone-y, music for floating while intoxicated.

Download my new abstract/drone EP for drowsy drowning here (http://thepicturesqueepisodes.bandcamp.com/)
Thank you, Darius! You're new music is always appreciated here.
Honestly, I wasn't feeling this at first, mainly because I'm not the BIGGEST drone fan around. But most of this seems more atmospheric and, as you said, abstract, which I enjoy. Journey... and Sleeping in the Immortal Forest I didn't really care for, just don't seem like my cup of tea upon first listen. Then the Drifting Monolith came on, and I loved that haunting feeling of it. For me, it was an album changer. The last half is so good! Will give another complete spin this afternoon!
Question about Endless Blooms... I have a demo track called the Majestic Eternal Night. Is that renamed to the Eternal Nightmare? Random, I know, just been organizing my digital music library lately.

thoughts:
well, Sleeping in the Opiate Forest is sort of a filler album with the experiments. Plus you have to have in mind that this album is "live" (no matter how weird does it sound) and was recorded in one take. So it means something for me, I guess.
Yes, the track was renamed!
And the next album coming to the people is, finally, massively, epicly, "Endless Lullabies".
Two or three months and the monolith will be ready.
I am thinking about this album all the time. Everything is drawn, planned, created, storyline is written in my head, I just have to work. A LOT.
And read about various mixing mastering techniques to improve the album.
I have to say though, that only the first Movement (first 4 tracks, demos in the sampler) will be available for free (somehow).
Other two will be available as a digital album through BandCamp with a certain minimum price. I cannot afford to release free music anymore - I guess after ten albums which I released for free I have some sort of a right to expect donations from people :)
That is all for now.
you know Darius, it's kind of sad for some of us since for example I don't have the ability (In argenitna it's really complex to do it, actually) to use internet money. Still I respect your choice, you have my blessings.
Oh, I could get you a ruff demo of the song we are creating that I'd like you to collaborate. take a listen, i'm sure you'll connect to it.

Well, to be honest, it was quite easy. There are only guitars on one song (Sleeping in the Opiate Forest) - so looping was the way to go; infinite loops and switches. While other songs were played with a keyboard plus lots of manipulation.

I listened to the song, and I believe that we can make a very very nice and a very long song from this.
Be open-minded, hehe, but I'm talking about something like 12+ minutes song, I've got some variations in my head already :)

that would be nice, our drummer suggested we could turn it into a large song, since he enjoys playing it so much. There's a variation of the "chorus", also. It's cleaner sounding & it could be useful to your work;
TheNightPilot.
we are recording the drum tracks at the end of february. I hope to have the guitar tracks at the end of march. The bass will have to wait a little more time, our bassist hasn't done his creative job yet (I have a few rough ideas for the bass, though.).
hehe, well, the song has to be named "The Nightdiver". It gives so much perspective and emotion :)
Check out the updated blog, also updated Downloads section and a Release Guide that I wrote :)
http://h-minor.blogspot.com/ (http://h-minor.blogspot.com/)
I decided that I am not just yet ready to finish recording "Endless Lullabies" - it is taking forever, perfectionism never helped me anyway.
It is postponed to (probably) summer.
While the works of "Endless Lullabies" are on hold, I will release an album that I had in my mind for a long time. Cosmic-rock with a touch of dark silent drone. Music for dark evenings, shamanism and esoteric dreaming, post-apocalypse, space-traveling, gloomy dusty dark cities and end of times.
COSMOGENESIS: Gloom and Doom / Tokyo Pulse / Edge of the Universe / Supermass / Glimmering Ebb / Ayawaska Frequency / Holy Mountain

what happened to the Koala proyect D, has some ideas came up from that?
Yesterday I recorded guitars for TheNightdiver, only bass in a few weeks and It'll be ready.
by the way, I showed the dream series to 2 good friends of mine and loved your work. They are downloading every album right now.

yet another great piece of album art.

all 4 or 5 songs from Cosmogenesis you've posted have just been pure money. Can't wait to hear the whole thing.
thanks guys.
I will make this album the greatest thing I have ever achieved. I owe that to myself :)

dudes I need your opinions.
Been working on this quite a long time. Not your regular stuff though
i kinda like the first 9 minutes or so. seems a little more random or maybe even glitchier at times than your normal material.
loved the buildup to the 11-15 minute mark. unless that track leads into something else, maybe end it a few minutes sooner? i'm not sure what you want to hear other than that. it's a good track, just maybe goes on a couple minutes too long.
I was thinking the same. I can definitely end it sooner and that is what will probably happen.
The last movement with the voice will be shortened and the end-piece will be moved somewhere else, because I want to keep the dream trance piece lol.
dream trance... good phrasing, sir.
May 7th, a surprise dreamy dance album.
I/O TECHNOGENESIS
expect dreamy dance music. as stated above.
I am not kidding.
it's the "technological version" of COSMOGENESIS, representing the artificial structures (while COSMOGENESIS focuses mainly on organic structures).
the fuck...

Interesting...I always like dreamy. Not too sure about the dance part. I guess it depends on the context. Either way I will definitely check it out.

it's going to be weird, expect it.
And saying that it is a "dance" album is a little.. off.
Mostly the album follows patterns of idm, midi space rock, ambient.
But it's definitely up-beat and, less "meaningful".
Experiments :)

Well since you put it that way I think i'll really enjoy it. I'm also looking forward to hearing your "masterpiece" as well.
Well.
I've put my heart into Cosmogenesis.
Not much left until the release, but with thesis, exams and new life I don't know if I will manage. I hope I will..
oh I''m always down for more of your music. Experimental is good. But Cosmogenesis is delayed for a while now?
no, Cosmogenesis will be released on May 15th as planned. It's mostly finished anyway, and if I recall you've heard something close to the final version.
Endless Lullabies is postponed indefinitely for now. I might release Movement I (Blooms, Nightmare, Multiverse) as an EP, but right now I grow tired of post-rock. A LOT.
How much of Endless Lullabies lacks to be recorded? It wouldbe a pity to leave this record. Even more now that the first movement is a standout on your discography. It's like your buffalo, your Eros.
Both movements II and III are not written or recorded yet because I rewrote a whole bunch of stuff and it got all messed up around.
New track.
As I said - beware, this album might not be what you expect.
A companion to Cosmogenesis.
http://soundcloud.com/the-picturesque-episodes/alive
Alive is good. At this rate you can probably start covering Godsmack and I would still like your music.
It's still in demo shape, some mistakes etc. I think this song is the only one so amazingly "uplifting and cute" in the album. Other songs are mostly minimal becoming dream pop becoming ambient becoming techno. Experimental pop, lets say.
strangely enough (but not so strangely) ALIVE and LIGHT might be my favourite stuff you put out.
do you listen to port royal??
i have a mad love and lust for them.
LOVE Port Royal. I believe they're on the same label as Darius too.
My main question, however, is WHERE IS COSMOGENESIS?
IT'S DONE.

So, upcoming works - GENESIS trilogy (Cosmogenesis, Technogenesis, Psychogenesis) and Endless Lullabies I.
Technogenesis to be released next Sunday, other two will have to wait a little :)
I don't know what to say, other than the music you're writing is just getting better and better. Amazing album. And the editing you did to the demos I heard were a vast improvement!

hehe, always nice to hear man! Right now I will be taking some unexpected turns (imo), towards electronic and acoustic experiments (Technogenesis Psychogenesis), but the "post-rock" vibe will definitely come back in the updated Endless Lullabies I (as been released as a demo sampler).
Soon, my friends, soon.
take your time, this will hold me over for quite some time.
always nice to hear that, Mark. :)

i really like the cover.
thanks guys! Every cent counts, not as an amount of money but as an intention to support other human being with your appreciation :)
so, much love - as always
Thank you guys for supporting this music you believe in, even more with little (but really talented) artists like our buddy Darius.
im blown the fuck away. wowzers
Thank you, Kyle. Always happy to inspire :)
im starting a whole new body of work in the coming weeks and this will be an integral part of it's soundtrack! :)
I will want to see that. We both know how art can influence art :)
I've listened through the album a couple of times now, and I really like it. Tokyo Pulse, Death Frequency, and Holy Mountain are my favorite tracks thus far.
Thank you, Havard!
The album has been doing quite well but not yet hit the blogosphere. Which is a little weird.
But maybe in time.. I don't want the album to go unnoticed but it seems it will be like this.

..but it's ridiculously different from Cosmogenesis.
I/O Technogenesis will be out on 06/17.
Some stuff I am going through limits my time significantly. Plus I am defending my thesis on 06/07 so yeah..
wise move, D. Still I'm expecting your 4 movement album, hoping it sees the light before 2011. I have to absorb better cosmogenesis, tonight it will get another spin

I'm happy to help with your life ;-)
hello,
find some ambient/drone favorites in a collection 'Other Ghosts', to be released through Pocket Fields netlabel soon. If you have skipped some of my ambient albums, this one is not to be missed since it's something as a "best of". More like my favorite ambient pieces that I've done through the years. Much love, Darius.

A story well told.

I heard wallflower and it was amazing, had a depeche mode vibe on it.
Thank you!
However, an early early early song from 2006.
One of my first songs to be ever written, on piano, with vocals.
Ignore the AMAZINGLY cheesy lyrics and material.

I have to say that this is a collection, so you might have heard most of the songs already.
Nothing too serious?
god, what a disappointment! I'm joking, I'll check it out today sometime. At the very least, it's an opportunity to get back into your music. It's been a long time since I listened to any ambient music, let alone tPE.
new things are coming, Wallflower, False Gods, Endless Lullabies :-)

Being the KING SLEEP will take more time (vocals left to record, an 8-track album with my vocals + guest female vocals).
And for now:

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell dude I wonder if you'll like YOUNG GALAXY.
It's mostly weird drone.
And stuff.
i'm still in.

I present to you YOUNG GALAXY, my next visual album, with a psychedelic sci-fi love story from my saga.
Hope you will like it.
Dreamy, drone-y, abstract,
YOUNG GALAXY.

new video for KING SLEEP, following my psychedelic textures
King Sleep - DEATHMACHINE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqifXTRBfP0#ws)
awesome. it's the instrumental version? so there's gonna be vocals?
well either way, i like it - the beat, the dynamics.
yes there will be vocals.
this however might only come out in the second King Sleep album, since the first one is already formed.
And yes, I already have two full albums recorded, all I need to do is finish the vocals.
WHICH IS A DIFFICULT THING. But I'll pull it off somehow.
yer a machine.
YES I AM.
A BROKEN BUT QUITE AWESOME MACHINE.
It.. just flows.

I hope they will, bro!
How does the cosmic-story "Constellations" continue, where does the traveller go as he enters the portal, the Low Star? The answers lie in the "Endless Lullabies", and album that has been hanging in the air with me for so long. I have composed most of the tracks back at the end of 2010, while I was in Turkey, having a different kind of experience and I feel like I put lots of myself into this post-rock record. I take these things seriously, the story continues. However, the album has dated - and even though it's original composure is pretty much ready for releasing, my mind is indecisive.
the Picturesque Episodes - the Endless Blooms (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSsOxQTFRbI#ws)
The original composure contains four tracks - the "Endless Blooms", "Eternal", "Still Silent Years", "Multiverse" and tells the musical version of mental journey of the traveller, through the portal, into another dimension. Since the original musical story of the previous albums ("Constellations" and such) now is becoming a book (a science fiction story), the journey has changed a little, and I want to include two other tracks and remaster everything from scratch. It's a though decision that I can't get my grip around!
In any decision the album will be released, and hopefully soon since it's already almost done (like everything with me, never complete, never good enough - including more than 30 King Sleep tracks..). I feel a strong need to start singing in performances and both on record, to let my spirit out there, to all of you listening, yet I still feel like I still have not grown enough to do a pretty decent job and receive your praise, but I will!
Much love,
Darius

Giving it a listen now, and as usual I like it. Definitely interested in seeing what direction you take this with vocals.
EDIT - oh wait, Autotape Dream has some vocals...nice
Vocals are a bitch.
I have ideas but they're all so fluid, so different.. it will take me time.

cool! I really enjoyed making it, and I thing it's my most comprehensive ambient album so far!
in other news:
- right now I am working with more than 40 King Sleep tracks, it's a drag
- I will be playing in three big festivals in summer - first one happening in two weeks in the capital, along with Toro y Moi, Kelis, FM Belfast, Mum and bunch of other names in other stages
- Two outdoor festivals in the summer, both I loved playing at last year and the year before
- Need new gear, have not enough money
- Trying to find solutions for live shows!
Here we go.
Also I really really want to release a track as 'the Picturesque Episodes', it's called "Time Reset", and there's bunch of my vocals (which I am doing now everywhere, haha). It's awesome, I love it. It's basically about time travel and stuff.
Cheers!
new music always coming, recording things, performing live in three festivals in two months period of time.
people seem to like it. I am very happy and satisfied.
but post-rock is not dead and will be back in the future in one or another form because there are still some words unsaid
for now, easy out

Really good stuff man, has a really chill relaxing vibe to it, I can see I'm going to be listening to this alot as i always like to put on some down tempo stuff when I'm working on a uni proejct or something, noticed a upgrade in the production since the last ep you posted here for download as well, the Picturesque episodes? i think it was, I can't check because it was on my old pc that crashed but i remember production wise they sounded more like demos than this new stuff, the production on this stuff really sounds great.
Thanks, dude, but the production is never enough good with me! It's still more of a 8/10 when I want at least 9 or 10 out of 10. Long way to go, still. All of the previous music that I have done was not as good as what I do right now, well maybe for a couple of the Picturesque Episodes (while I pushed out like twenty of them, carelessly).
I am growing, music is in my veins and I will reach my dream.
Hey man I was just taking advantage of the free downloads on your website and thought i'd let you know the I/O Technologies mirror thing doesn't work, all the rest are fine, by the way great website.
I/O Technogenesis is a shitty album, so you don't really have to hear it, haha!
blasphemy, bro
Quote from: bright lights, big city on Sep 28, 2013, 02:14 PM
blasphemy, bro
No, it is, really. From everything that I had done I only would consider "Cosmogenesis", "Singularity" and "Constellations" to be real albums, even though there's still a million things to improve on these albums truly. Also there's "Endless Lullabies" which is on hold forever and might never be released. Only with King Sleep I reach the clarity of production but yet not always.
It's a process in my mind, I expect many things from myself, and I expect them to happen quickly and effortlessly. This will be my downfall! Never truly polishing anything well enough.

just in case you have wondered, things are moving forward slowly, I am playing more and more live shows, and with time and effort they are a better experience and I am better at what I do. This picture is from a local arts festival "Insanitus" where I played before headliners from UK, and most of the audience thought I was actually the hyped project for the festival (the one from UK), they were very impressed. Much more impressed after realizing that I am just a local dude that works in his bedroom.
"the Picturesque Episodes" is fully OFF for the time being.
"King Sleep" is expanding slowly.

a definitive quest through my year 2013-2014. These are the tracks that I have made and that I am working on now, for my debut album.
Fuck yeah :-)
the dream is in my reach
+ four more shows this summer with larger audiences
Awesome dude, i'm glad to hear it. This is going to be my work music for the rest of the day.
Been a while since I checked in. Vocals on Control are by you? Damn, I really dig that song.
And I too will now be listening to Echo Tape 2 while I do some werk.

Thanks guys
And yes, I sing in most of the tracks even though I am still not very good at it.

Hello guys.
New information: first "KING SLEEP" EP to be released in August, via a Latvian label CUT RECORDS. Thing is, instead of getting a release you have to subscribe to a monthly new music exposure - the guys will release an EP a month with great electronic music. An opportunity!
I will keep you updated, but for now, check out this:

Good work Darius. I'll be honest, I've really been slacking on the ambient genre lately, so this hit the spot for me - definitely more pop than I was expecting!
Oh yeah, ambient stuff is long gone. What I do now is probably best defined as electro pop? Indie? Whatever there. The first song is with a local girl in Lithuanian, it was lovely to work together. I intend to release more songs in this genre, fuck the haters

Much love
Honestly, I keep coming back to some of my ambient works and am like "whoa I did justice to that song", you know.
At this time I am preparing to release an EP with 4-5 songs under a new alias
I will keep you posted, guys
I was watching The Handmaid's Tale just now and thought one of the musical motifs that pops up sometimes reminded me of something. Just figured out it reminded me of a part of one of your picturesque episodes songs, death frequency.
Did you by chance partake in the arrangement of the score?
Hey,
That would be totally great for my music career but unfortunately no, not just yet :)
Thanks for reminding me!
