Once in Autumn I drove a country highway in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, when I came upon a herd of tarantulas, crossing the road. This was a surreal experience, like something from a lost Bunel film—the sort of thing you wonder later might have been a literal dream. I read up and found that seeing a fall migration was not unheard [un-herd] of at all, but a rare but palpable natural thing.

This soundscape could soundtrack any similarly breathtaking visual experience. I hope that someone on youtube or vimeo or blip.tv puts this to great use.

I woke up recently to a mackerel sky, an unexpected colored scaling of the clouds. Here, too, your atmospheres have cool contours and unexpected divergences.

Thanks very much for this piece, which I just love.

You are most welcome oh weirdbient one. I made it with you in mind so this was the review I needed :-).

And I must say for a fluffy dog you are most articulate and imaginative.

Then again I suppose I’m not an iron dome ;-).

Speaking of mackerel skies, have you seen this one?

My fluffy dog Teddy (now age 15)
is my better self, I reckon.

I began to use the term “weirdbient’ in 2002, when a day of recording with ambient aims generated instead something a little….weird. Yet the label still seems to work, even when i can be more ambient if need be.

Have you heard deepspace? He’s an Australian fellow who does long=form light ambient in the CC. You can find him lots of places, but last.fm is where I find him myself. He’s not “weirdbient’ at all,and when I hear his “real” ambience, I realized why i use the term i do.

Yes I did stumble across the aforementioned clip in one of my …”gee where is my stuff on the Internet” searches a little while back. I didn’t get a trackback but I’ll forgive him :-).

I like the word weirdbient. At first I wasn’t so sure but it suits your stuff in a good way. Ambient is a genre term that ideally should not tell you at all what you are getting. Personally I find it meaningless and only use it as a matter of convention.

I don’t use last.fm at all. I think I have heard of deepspace (and no not in the astronomical sense, duh). Has he done anything commercial or better known? I wonder if he turned up on one of the regular radio shows I occasionally listen to. I will check him out. And again…thanks for the lovely review :-).

I am finding lately that I get a lot of airplay from last.fm. It’s really expanded my listener base, as well as giving rise to the perpetual question “where did this woman from Estonia hear about my music”?

I love the internet:

Now that you two finally seem to have finished your little conversation, I’m just trying to get a short word in: This is just a perfect remix of the Gurdonark samples! And now we have two people who make weirdbent music! You gotta love it!

Finished? Are you kidding? You can’t let the other lawyer have the last word :-).

As for making weirdbient music…there is only one Gurdonark, I am but a cheap imitation.

But thank you. I have discovered one way to learn how to produce music is to understand how others do it. Getting the real McCoy’s stamp of approval was a real joy in my attempt to make what he does my own.

I love all the spice you added so that while your mix remains ambient it has added flavor and texture. It’s delicious! And I am so glad that you are a part of The White Cube Remix Project!

Thank you Ms. Proprietress of the Mixin Kitchen. I recommend a nice rich Zinfandel to warm the air with this icy inspired mix.
