Should the compilation have a topic like “Music for Babies – finally done right” or will it be free-form?

#48

Just realised that any stream would have to favour a time zone.

Still like the 24hr concept though…

#49

Well, a minidisc encoded in LP4 plays for like 5 and a half hours. that’d be 11 half-hour tracks. :stuck_out_tongue:

In other news, I improvise an hour of ambient once every couple of months for a lunchtime meditation session at the university where I work. There’s one coming up if anyone fancies a trip to Swansea - I’ve also considered streaming it in the past, but I’ll record whatever I come up with.

Count Huron in for this one. I’ve been exploring longer drone/ambient works lately.

#51

Sounds fun so I definitely would like to give it a try. It would be a nice incentive to finally do some web based ambient generator :smiley:

#52

A year or so back I mentioned this semi-generative radio station a friend had built off a Rasperry Pi. He’s ditched the stream, but if people are serious about making some kind of online mix version of whatever you all come up with, maybe have a look at the code?

I’m in the process of a 3 volume long-form ambient drone release, though it might keep you awake as it gets a bit intense in places :wink:

I would be definitely be interested.

It would be cool to allow tracks that were longer than the max that bandcamp allows… unless I’d be the only one submitting a 10 hour long track :-p

On a related note, here’s last year’s ‘medium’, an annual 24 hour drone performance: https://www.mixcloud.com/radiodotcomputer/playlists/medium/ We had to break it up into chunks to upload it to mixcloud.

would you mind sharing the other(s)? seems like an appropriate place!

here’s another one in minnesota: https://drone-not-drones.bandcamp.com/

and one in hudson NY: http://basilicahudson.org/24-hour-drone/about/

(er, well I don’t mean to hijack the thread, maybe this should be its own thread…)

The one in Hudson is the only one I’ve been to and was aware of before!

#62

Interested in throwing in too!

#63

Ohhh, this is gonna be wild. Would be happy contributing to this as well since looooong tracks is what I am generally into…

44 Potential Contributors!

So if there was an average length of 45min each:

44 x 45min = 33 hours of music!

Exciting that so many of you are up for this.

So how about keeping it simple - everyone submits their track. The tracks are arranged into an order, then we work out a way of sharing them. + artwork of course.

Maybe a realistic timescale to get all the tracks in would be early in the new year? What does everyone think? It would be good if this didn’t affect progress on //// musica ignotum : lcrp.solstice.2.2018 ////, so we could have a rough deadline but be patient for anyone who needs extra time (this is music for the patient after all).

I’d be very up for creating a longer continual mix with field recordings between tracks - if the field recordists of Lines are interested in contributing. I can’t deal with the idea of mixing music tracks together - not my skill-set! But feel free to suggest or offer if there’s a way to make it work.

How about 25-90 minutes as a guideline length for each track?

I’m thinking we just go with ‘Long-form Ambient’ as the only guide, unless people feel strongly that a tighter theme is needed?

Space for one more? I have an amazing cavernous white noise thing that we all listened to for a few months after our second child was born. Would love to revisit it.
