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.

yall gotta do all this to get a quaristice type beat/song😭😭
It’s really not that much tho
Great selection sir...i love what you did until now with this project 😊
Thanks man! It feels like a half album that came together nicely.
Awesome! Can’t wait!
This sounds amazing!!!😊
Thanks sir
masterpiece
Thank you!
❤
Noice!
This is really good!
Thanks dude!
Awesome! Is that fuzz in the background? It sounds like the beach to me. What are your musical influences?
That’s actually a sample of a particular kitchen appliance. Ha! My musical influences have been all over the place over the years since I’ve dipped into a bunch of different kinds that of music but are you referring to on stuff like this little vid? Or just more generally on the recent stuff?
Omg so good!! Bro, you are really genius in making chill music
Thank you my dude! The older I get the more my music seems to calm down! 🤣
😮
Goode one
Ok tell me now How many kidney you have left?
This much 🤏🏼
Retrograde 1...awesome name choice and great cover as well!!! You've done a great work so far!!
Thank you dude! I figure that leaves it open to future volumes :)
Love the smooth melodic lines, rhythmic inhaling, just the right mix of beats and ambient samples.
Thanks so much man. Im glad you dig ti.
sujper cool, sounds great, whats the lead synth used?
The lead is from the modular synth!
From PM life forms triangle wave? Did you run it through any fx. Its spot on BOC
@@elipagnani4553 no I believe it was a square (so it could be filtered) filtered down and with the pw slightly off through a delay with a longish decay.
@@michaelmazochi awesome thanks man looking forward to your Idm ambient project
@@elipagnani4553 any time and thanks!
that tubbutec 606 is sick.
It’s a fun one for sure
BRO THIS IS SO HARD cant wait for retrograde to hit spotify 🔥🔥🔥
Looking forward to getting it out there!
Nice mug 😂❤
Damn right!
Cool!
People who finish projects never cease to amaze me. I'm sure it sounds fantastic, but right now I am proxy enjoying the simple fact that you did a thing, a complete thing, and not just had a great idea. I only have great ideas that I don't follow through to the end. I am glad för you that you did! Now I look forward to enjoy it! Thank you!
Thanks man! It’s definitely something I drill into my own head constantly…to finish ideas. I actually am coming off the longest streak of not finishing new ideas in my life. So I totally get you but I feel like it’s easier once the ball gets rolling. Starting the ball rolling and committing to the idea is the hard part for me.
@michaelmazochi Inspiring words! I sent a track off to mastering yesterday, so maybe I'll join your league and actually release music soon 😂
@@siljamickeify congrats man!
Sweet^^ Are you gonna print it (cd, vinyl, tape) ?
I’d like to see what the interest in the project being released on physical format looks like and also I mayyyyy want to see if there is a part 2 coming first so I can package it all together if that makes sense.
If something is difficult, why make it easy?
Apologies, Not sure what you mean man.
Lush af
Woahhhh I like these sounds
Love the addictive laid back groove on this M M !
Thanks man! Glad you like it :)
Awesome! I want to hear more!
I'm alright if these are the type of machines that have won!
Same same
Well it is sounding just like Boards of Canada from 20 years ago... So not sure if the machine is winning. But cool tune
Oh it’s just a name for it not a statement about the state of things.
@@michaelmazochi Oh I see well it is easy to take it the other way.
No worries I always just try to give these things little names that remind me of what they are later on when I am making full tracks and need to remember ideas :)
you must be fun at parties
Humans built that. When machines build themselves, then they win. But WE are their GODS, never forget that!
Sans blague ?! T'es le dieu des machines ?! 😂😂😂 T'es un mort en devenir mon pauvre ... Le crétinisme humain a créé l'IA. Qui vas l'éliminer. Car il est trop stupide. Trop criminel. C'est une véritable insulte a la vie ... 😊
Very cool! 😎
Nice composition and light show too
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
The machines have won
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.
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!
@@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. :)
Great
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.
I love the fact it sounds like Boards! I wish more people made music that sounds like BoC. I enjoy your music. Try not to mind the haters and have fun making music. I would love to make music that sounds like BoC or some of my other favorite bands…
Thanks man! I always enjoy seeing you on these posts. I’m glad you are enjoying this stuff and I’m sure knowing me I’ll go back to the other half to complete it but I figure at least for now I can get this out bc it feels like a good checkpoint either way when I listen through in order.
David Bowie once said don’t play to the gallery The type of people who are going to give you shit aren’t worth the hot air they spew when they speak Keep creating fam
Thanks dude! You know..:normally I don’t let it get to me too much with my normal music but for some reason since this was out of my wheelhouse and supposed to be just for fun it really bothered me. It’s like it was kill in the spirit of the thing. Bizarre bc I feel like it should bother me less since it’s not my normal music.
What’s the module before data bender?
That’s the mungo g0
@@michaelmazochi🙏🏻
что за дивайс?
It’s a modular synthesizer
i was getting ready for house of the rising sun HAHAH
Oh staaahhhhhhppppp. Hahaha
Sounds like terraria
Yo, It’s hilarious but I get that a lot on my patch shorts but I haven’t played 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!

niiiice fold there.
Thank you ☺️

Huh
Great sound
Thank you
