I just listened to this track I made ~7 years ago, and I still find it really good. I've not been overly productive in the years since then, although I'm trying to get some stuff done (visit olaglig.info for a bunch of relatively fresh tracks). If you want to purchase some ambient music, be sure to visit the label Databloem – this track was released on that label's first CD, a compilation called Collection 1: Opening. Since this is the only track by me that has been commercially released, it's also the only one to have been commerically reviewed:
'Encounter' by the Civilized Electrons starts extremely quietly, soft tones being allowed to just hang in the air. In the third minute in comes the most beautiful dreamy melody which goes through a number of mutations in both structure as well as the sound chosen. It just gets better and better. A four note loop works its way into your consciousness, it had probably been there slowly intensifying for some time before I actually noticed it. Gradually it becomes more like a pulse or soft throb. The repeated melody has something of a hypnotic quality but is never boring. An additional lead line is added in the tenth minute eventually replacing its predecessor, another slow delicate melody complimenting it wonderfully lower in the mix. Its all so delicate. A wonderful track to finish a very impressive album. (Synth Music Direct)
The Civilized Electrons (from Sweden): "Encounter (in an Unexplored Nebula)" is a calming dose of ambience that defends its unhurried structure with placid outbursts of gurgling particles. (Sonic Curiosity)
Sweden's The Civilized Electrons offer the undulating fogbanks and starsheen which is an "Encounter (in an Unexplored Nebula)"; gauzey resonance fluctuates as brighter synthtones flex through them (again in a "classic" synthmusic mode with lots of apparent sequencer journeys and faux instrumetal swells). (AmbiEntrance)
Last but not least is "Encounter (In an Unexplored Nebula)," by The Civilized Electrons from Sweden. This is excellent pure space music, and will have you drifting pleasurably off into the ether to finish things off. (Exposé Magazine)
I can't seem to settle for a blog. So here I am. Vox looks promising. My other blogs are bergius.org (not much action), 2 Comments (dead), Nu på svenska (in Swedish, semi-regular updates) and ? (not yet official, but will be tres cool). I'm thinking of dumping 2 Comments. bergius.org needs a lot of work before it becomes what I planned to create. Nu på svenska is concept that suits me, and which I probably won't stop updating (for those of you who can't read Swedish, it's all about things that annoy me, of which there are a lot). The as of yet unofficial new project is a music blog, where I and a good friend publish tracks as we create them – no rules, no plan, just things we happen to create.
Enter Vox. It seems like a brilliant idea. A place to publish anything, combining tools like Flickr, YouTube and a bunch of Vox stuff to make it a kind of hybrid blog thing. I need to explore further in order to figure out what to do with it. Perhaps merge the bergius.org concept with a general blog concept. Perhaps a combination of new and old music, old ASCII, new and old photographs, and some interesting thoughts on stuff that interest me would be something that someone would like to consume? Perhaps my random nature could work in this context, whereas blogs usually need specialization to attract a crowd.
Anyway, time for some Canis Canem Edit.
