Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
This is another one of those leftfield indietronica albums. Although this one is not so indie and not IDM at all, rather emotional slow tempo broken beats with live instrumentation. Since it self-identifies as coming from a drum and bass angle, it reminds me of 4 Hero, although this one is slower, more modern, and still falls a lot closer to the Apparat bandwagon than anything dnb-related.
Dub, triphop, soft IDM. Mood exactly like the album cover.
It’s like Dead Can Dance with a spaced out psychedelic tone, ambient tempo, and occasional spoken word. Amazing for work and focus.
Soothing slow-tempo electronic music, sometimes IDM, sometimes with acoustic components. Great to focus and work by.
From ambient through experimental electronics and IDM to modern classical. Quite a journey. Great listen with a focus and in the background as well.
Easy-to-listen IDM for focus and doing stuff.
Another great album that helps while working. Ambient techno.
Nice and evocative sci-fi atmosphere. Too bad I didn’t quite get hooked by the gameplay loop and didn’t stick with the game, because otherwise the world and the visual fidelity was stunning.
First off, this is a great ambient record. This has been my go-to focus music for the past week the mindset it creates for me is just awesome.
On the other hand, one feeling I can’t shake off is how much of a generated music this could potentially be. I really don’t know anything about Stürtzer, his past work, and process, I just feel like music like this could exactly be the type that can be generated by AI today. I feel bad to think this, it feels like such an asshole thought to have, but this is just what the ambient genre is plagued with today. And if I look at an artist’s discography and I see several records published yearly that kind of confirms the idea; either that this is generated music or music that’s produced on a conveyor belt.
And after having these ideas at the back of my mind I’m going back to listening to the record and think: I still like it, I find it pleasant to listen to, it helps me focus and work and create stuff. So what does that mean? What if this is generated music really? Am I happy with generated music? No, I shouldn’t be. I want to value a true artist’s human output and genuine creativity. But still… What if this just works? Ahh, I don’t know. I hate the AI generated problems of our lives when it comes to art.
Ambient breakbeat, chill-out, ethereal drum and bass, wondering jungle.
