IDM / Ambient Project Update #2 : Part 1 Cover Reveal!
Another quick update on the project so far and where it stands going forward for those who are following along.
Part 1 of the IDM / Ambient album is done and ready to go and so here comes the cover reveal.
For the uninitiated there is a playlist on my page of the first 6 tracks.
--------
The record is influenced by the 90s Warp Records groups like Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Autechre.
Thematically I am dealing with the feeling of remembering something that had been forgotten about for many years. It's almost like a reversal of a form of Amnesia.
-
The bulk of the music for this album is/will be composed and performed on modular synthesizers.

    Respect and support. Don't get comments get to you. I mean, as if it is BAD you make music that sounds like BOC - we all have our influences in our tracks, that's why they inspire us. Enjoy the music making and content creation, don't stress. I mean, tracks are beautiful, really - people are just bitter.

    • @michaelmazochi

      Thanks man I appreciate that. Normally when putting up my normal musical stylings it wouldtn't bother me, but I was really trying for something directly referential and fun and for a very specific group of people...but its incredible how fast a few nasty remarks can suck the air out of the room. The internet in 2024 is some kind of miserable sometimes!

    • @earlsfield
      @earlsfield Před 23 dny

      @@michaelmazochi I get you 100%. But from my perspective, while internet 2024 indeed is an odd place, this is something that I have witnessed since I got involved in the music, and that's 30 years now (I started mid 90s as a recording assistant in a studio, , got the scholarship for audio engineering, ran my own studio for 25+ years). I will tell you what drives people nuts: jealousy. When people hear you can "effortlessly" produce and create music that they cannot, they go bonkers. The only difference is, in 2024. their rant is louder because internet is an amplifier for the idiot frequencies. As you said, this was a project clearly meant to follow certain sonic aesthetic - and I personally find it great, and I like the videos too - and I really don't see why would anyone be annoyed, except for the gatekeepers (as in any subculture). I saw your other video the other day, about your approach to music - and I must say I think this is what makes your music good - the ability and persistence to form an album, call it what you want, but rounded up, finished concept - most of the people in music struggle with tons of ideas, endless mix polishing, all that with the result of zero track output. So, keep on cracking good music and you will always have an audience, I have witnessed that, and am pretty sure it will stay that way. Cheers!

      @@earlsfield that’s really kind man. I work obsessively for better or for worse and it’s definitely an focal point for me to actually tidy up ideas and projects. It’s so funny bc I think generally online people see the finish product and the way the presentation can make things seem effortless and they forget it is actually an insane effort to get it there…I’ve been downright embarrassed by how long some tracks will take. Hahaha. Running your own studio must be a whole other kind of crazy to try to pull off! Organizing groups of musicians is hard enough when it’s one band much less a recording studio’s worth. Welp…I’m sure I’ll end up going back to the other half sooner than later…but at least for now I can get something up in the form of a listenable 1/2 album/EP. :)

    Songs on the top lists are very rarely innovative. When was the last time anyone did a groundbreaking psytrance track? Why do all IDM music have be ground breaking? Good music is worth remaking. There is no doubt this is music done with heart and soul. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the album.

      You know, i haven't really thought about it like that. I guess there is some truth to that huh. Typically you see the creation of an idea and then its built on from there. Thats a very positive way of looking at things. Thanks for that and thank you for the kind words. Cheers.

    Well...how to start...your project is awesome and well composed, Michael. I can understand it can resemble artists like Boards of Canada...but the overall project is a sort of tribute to such artists so...what the f**k? I can't understand haters verbally assauting your work for that reason...i am following the progress of your project since the first track you released...and i am totally fascinated by the quality and the mood of your work. Please, don't consider too much those harsh comments and keep creating whatever your mind and ears can create. There always be people who will appreciate your music, despite any inspiration you can get...let's be honest, no one invents brand new stuff anymore...but there's a huge difference between inspiration and plagiarism. And you, dude, are on the right side of this duality. Keep grinding!!!

      I appreciate that man. I worked super hard on this stuff even if it’s just supposed to be a fun thing. I wanted to get it all the be quite authentically in the style. I think that’s why I got so deflated by the bullshit. I obv take my work very seriously no matter what I’m making so to have these bozos just dismiss it like it doesn’t count is annoying. I’m sure I’ll go back to it again…I just want to at least tidy up this half for now before it stagnates and just gets forgotten about or I lose touch with it.

    For anyone giving you shit about it sounding like BOC; isn't that sort of the point? The only shame in trying to emulate a sound is when you're pretending that you're not. You've been very straightforward about this being BOC-inspired from the start. You should be proud that you have the technical chops to figure it out and pull it off so convincingly. Also I feel somewhat responsible for your rebranding headaches.. I didn't think you'd try to start a 2nd channel and maybe it was a bad suggestion altogether. When you are ready for release, contact Vapor Memory. He's a good guy with a good following that will appreciate your work and I'm sure he will help you spread it. I have successfully contacted him through Twitter in the past, but his site has more links if you need another method. Looking forward to whatever you have in store.

      That’s really nice to hear man! Also yes 100% that’s been the point! It’s supposed to be a fun thing since they seem to have dropped off the face of the earth. I just wanted to make a good version of something inspired by them but I’ve definitely taken quite a bit of shit about it. And please don’t feel at all responsible for the rebrand debacle! I had a few people tell me to do that! I think maybe I somehow handled it wrong and should have known my own lack of advertising prowess as a hindrance to that! Totally on me! I’ll definitely contact him! I’m not on twitter but I’ll use one of the other ways to contact him once it’s all done. Thanks again!
