Indulging Into Wonderful Tunes! - January 2014

Hello!

I'm still enjoying my holiday for now, nevertheless there's one thing that I always wanted to do in these past few weeks - sharing musics from around the world that I found interesting, through days of hunting here and there~ Some of the artists that I included here may be quite obscure, but finding hidden gems that scattered through the internet is a pleasure by it's own, for sure!

Hope you all enjoy this set, though!

-> Vanguard Sound - Awaken (http://soundcloud.com/vanguard_sound/awaken)



Treating a song's main vocals, especially the artificial ones, as 'an instrument by itself somehow' is quite an uncommon technique (in this case, a background synth-like voice) and I rarely saw technique outside the Shoegaze world, personally. Although previously the more popular An through Xhroria (www.youtube.com/watch?v=onPcvh6G1SM) more or less brought the same atmosphere to a track, I found this track brought more bliss when heard due to its angelic buildup section~

This track was used as a set opener at an event previously, and I thought it would be a perfect true as well on this list.

-> The Queenstons - PROW13 (http://lapfox.bandcamp.com/track/prow13)

As someone who has been famliar with Renard's song for years, I found myself stunned while hearing this newest single-track album from this Canadian electronic maestro. Get ready for an incredible firework while the elegant drum'n'bass + synth combination kicks in on 1:46, and again with even more dramatic harmony on 3:14!

-> Luna Safari - Loving Rain (http://soundcloud.com/luna_safari/loving-rain)



Moving to the more ambient side of music here, Luna Safari brings you a melodious chillout, electronic new age-ish music which portrays a romantic atmosphere amidst the rain~ There's a vocal version to this song available as well (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPqcrv4AxZg), but still, I myself prefer the instrumental rendition as I can hear the song's rich sound samples more clearly - reminds me of onoken's ambient songs from his Blue Orb album, personally (:

-> pla remixed by 8 to 7 - MIGRATORY BIRDS (http://soundcloud.com/8_to_7/migratory-birds-pla-remixed-by)



This is a song which I've been using to accompany my sleep in the past few days, actually - labeled under the 'Atmospheric Drum'n'Bass' genre, expect a calming, more-downtempo DnB song which will make your mind wander around contemplatively. A beautiful 164 BPM song - albeit some might found it repetitive, the song still gives a transcendental experience more than most (if not all) other Atmospheric DnB/Jungle song. Truly an enlightening experience.

-> Brian Eno - By This River (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrZYP8SzlN8)



Warping back in time to 1977! Oh, Brian Eno, you're such a father for the Ambient genre and all of its derivatives. I know Brian Eno previously from his ambiental masterpiece 'Ambient 1: Music for Airports' (www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9kPIp4MtX0‎), but it was this song which captivated me the most - and I regret for not discovering it until recently. As you might have figured, the ambient influence is quite strong on this one - beautiful flowing piano melody combined with deep sad lyrics, definitely a wonderful one~

-> hania - Days Ahead (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/434943)


I shall finish this list with another wonderful track I found while browsing newgrounds a while ago~ 'Days Ahead' is another sad track primarily consisting of piano and violin melodies, with a handy touch of electronic beats - I personally loved the depressive atmosphere this song builds, but alongside that I also found that this is also a good song to accompany myself while working on stuffs (:

...as I've been determining to re-utilize my blog (as I've stated previously), I might do this again regularly in the future... But for now, yet again I have to say I hope you all enjoy these wonderful songs!

Hello there!

I finally decided to re-utilize this blog after two years (it will be revamped soon, yes, don't worry) - and I'm happy to share one of my original creation as my comeback post!

Well, recently I've been playing around with pxtone (www.cavestory.org/othergames_pxtone.php), a simple yet powerful music composing software - although this creation is far from perfect and still using mostly program-embedded sound samples, I'm still having much fun composing this :D

Enjoy~

PS : I'm still wondering what to do to my older posts, though... Feel free to read ofc, but orz ._.

PS : Currently my blog's template is heavily taken from this blog, which I also develop together with my friends - feel free to read, as usual!~

Tak mungkin merubah ketentuanNya

Seperti apa terlahirnya kita

Bersyukurlah wahai yang berharta

Tapi, lihat! Banyak yang bernestapa

Bayangkanlah!

Kondisi kita sangat berbeda

Mampukah kita menjadi mereka?

Sanggupkah mental kita?

Segala hal bisa terjadi

Tak ada yang pasti

Pandangilah, resapilah realita ini

Masihkah kita merasa kurang beruntung?
