How to Make Ambient Chill Music with MODULAR Synthesizer / EURORACKGARDNSOUND2019-05-16 | This video details how I made my new album "Ambiences" which can be "pre-saved" by clicking this link: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/gardnsound/ambiences
I'm finalizing an album and I figured you all might get a kick out of watching the minute by minute process. I'm going to stream the whole thing from finishing songs and getting a release plan tied together to uploading it to distrokid. I'm going to do this real time. No planning off camera.
I'm streaming here for a change. Neato! Here's where to find my stuff:

(lyrics) Soul farmer Goddess of departure Muerta We will all fall onto her alter Conductor... Of the timely one way train Canvases unpainted Here remains the frame
She'll tease you 'til you're peer-less She reposesses spirits She leaves us only bones skin and meat here She ushers actors out of this Overcrowded theatre She tickets all of our expired meters, You'll meet her
She clears the herd for tighter tribes Relieves the sick with suicide Rocks us to sleep Like her own weary child She holds me tightIn calloused arms Like violence Keeps me from sleeping at night Like she's crying
St. Death speaks volumes in silence While we Wrestle with words we can't confide in Yeah we Wrote a whole language But still can't describe this Feeling that we get when we are Touched by Her highness
In an instant we are wished away She subtracts our souls When she insists on it so... We feed more at her behest Reduced into our simple timeless essence Just made less complex by St. DeathThis is a BabyGARDNSOUND2022-10-24 | I have 2 of these things, now. One is 3. This one is not.
