It is very ambient, but contains rhythms. It is dark, yet at the same time whimsical. It includes acoustic instruments and vocals, but they have been processed virtually beyond recognition. Nonetheless it is a subtle and pleasant listen... Keywords: ambient; dark ambient; dreamscape; musique concrete; drone; experimental Downloads: 5,782 Average rating: (3 reviews) |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | 833-45 - Rain 1 [wh079] - K.M. Krebs Here is a contribution to the acclaimed Rain series on Webbed Hand by 833-45, a project of the talented producer K.M. Krebs.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Akashic Crow's Nest - Hawk of an Uncanny Nest [wh078] - C.P. McDill Akashic Crow's Nest's first regular album release of 2007 continues ACN's adventures in ambient sound generated from images. The tracks are created by first making a very long thin picture file that functions much like a piano roll, which is then fed into a software synthesizer which reads the picture from left to right, pixel by pixel, and translates the values into tones, adding variables such as loudness and panning based on information in the picture...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | spoonPhase - Songs for Psychos, pt 1 [wh034] - spoonPhase Songs for Psychos, part one initiates spoonPhase's artistic exploration of a shattered mind. With equal parts darkness and whimsy, these compositions meander through the corridors of the mind with a music that at times seems like lullabyes or serenades, and at other times like mockery and deconstruction. This is great headphone music, given the artist's talent for creating a sense of spatial arrangement within the music, but a mischeivous soul might also be tempted to play this in public spaces....

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Djinnestan - Rain 3 [wh077] - C.P. McDill A third Rain-themed longform ambient composition by Djinnestan. Perhaps still in a forest, but now at the banks of a stream, with wisps of fog, chirping crickets, the moon, and other mysterious nocturnal elements. This CD-length work creates a nice acoustic mood for meditation or sleep. It is recommended that you play it at low volume, as it is meant to be listened to peripherally, not directly. Personnel: C.P... Keywords: ambient; dreamscape; experimental Downloads: 2,507 Average rating: (1 review) |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Akashic Crow's Nest - Rain 2 [wh076] - C.P. McDill The second soothing dreamscape by Akashic Crow's Nest employs ACN's characteristic generative textures plus additional ambient samples to sculpt a smooth and restful atmosphere to lull the brainwaves into a relaxed state. The ACN sound is distinguished by the use of an image synthesizer (pictures are translated into sounds) to produce most of the auditory elements used in its compositions. Very peculiar but often remarkably musical and uncannily magical... Keywords: ambient; dreamscape; drone Downloads: 1,781 Average rating: (1 review) |
![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Marco Lucchi - Some Perfect Curtains [wh075] - Marco Lucchi Webbed Hand Records presents another release of a multimedia project composed by Italian avante-garde sound artist Marco Lucchi. Here is Marco Lucchi's introduction: some perfect curtains is a sort of anthology of my latest work it shows my love for the audio scores (no only the music) of films they are kind of movies without images (well, sometimes with images...) and they are some very acousmatic works they are ending or opening titles of imaginary films too and they "promote" me as a composer...
