yakyakker album releases

[nyarla]

i started getting to where i was happy enough with my music to want to release it.

here are my 3 albums i put out so far on bandcamp:

Green Ant Sound - https://zzaapp.bandcamp.com/album/green-ant-sound (under my old name 4096 Salts)
this one is swampy, messy, dark and dank lo-fi organic somethingorother.. i don't know what genre it'd be..
i love some of it but was just finding my way still (some of the tracks on here were years old at the time of release)
it even has a track which originated in a yakyak moosicians compo!

and then, new era stuffs under my new eryngi alias:

Animism - https://eryngi.bandcamp.com/album/animism
ambient/glitch/drone. two longform tracks of recorded live improv with a constrained set of sound manipulation tools..
super relaxing meditative stuff to fall asleep to on a rainy night...
i LOVE side A. it reminds me of the sea. side B's a bit meh though...
i'm planning on doing more like this and maybe trying to get a cassette label to put it out on tape..or do it myself..

Mossy EP - https://eryngi.bandcamp.com/album/mossy-ep
my own flavour of psybient(?). or something. big influence: stuff like old Shpongle. other vague influences: stuff like Fluxion, Autechre...
trippy abstract rainforest style with funny wobbly bits.. chilled and ambent but with odd beats..
well track 3 is a bit different, but the first two are that style anyway.


anyone else releasing music? post it up! so many skilled musos lurking in here i reckon. it's really fun to put together albums, even if you don't think you're amazing or anything. different vibe than just sticking WIP tracks on soundcloud... (also does phpBB have a bandcamp embed tag?)

I can't remember who it was on here, but someone used to release stuff under the name French Curves and/or Redpoint. It was lovely Boards of Canada style ambient beats stuff.

[Dio]

Redpoint was Sickers wasn't it?

[gravy]

Sickboy and Fuseball

[WiteWulf]

Yeah, lovely stuff that. I follow them on bandcamp and keep hoping for new stuff.

[nyarla]

mm i remember them.. will have to give that a listen again!
there's datasette too.. and uh didn't dmx krew used to post here occasionally? and that person from the orb? i should've called this thread "show us your bandcamp" tho.. where's the active ppl at?

My good friend, Jonny Squid, is releasing his second album in July/August. It’s all finished - just waiting for some funds to cover the vinyl and CD pressings. He’s not a yakyakker, but my keyboards are all over the album, so I think it still counts?

Fans of English psychedelic pop will find a lot to like, here - it’s a really fun, eclectic album.

Here’s a taster:

And Redpoint/FrenchCurve were awesome. Spot on. So good it made me both very happy and pissed off at the same time. Love them. Long time.

YAY
some super lush sounds in that quiddity stuff! just been listening through random tracks.. it's especially lovely when there's guitar in there. new ep teaser on soundcloud is rad, i really like the sound of that..

and, been loving DDMRDX on Switch! those c303p0 tracks are a nice addition need more games with acid OSTs!

[gribbles]

. it's especially lovely when there's guitar in there.

Spooky - we've just been talking about that. We've not really put live guitar on anything since those few tracks on the first album. But I really enjoyed it. So there may be more in the near future...

Mossy EP is great I still have that open on a browser page! Rhythmic, hints of Africa, warm and wobbly but with precision.. sense of heat hazes and mirages..

Not quite pushing the beat, but that foward edge which keeps me engaged even though it's chill out stuff. Have listened to it *many times*. Should chuck you a few bob eh

Curious what you used on this recording and if any of it is randomised/programmatical/generative/automated etc.. ??

Looking at setting up label with a mate, it's been on the cards for a while. In the first instance engaging the excellently named Birds Hit Records (geddit?) in Manchester for some Ltd lathe cuts. Each vinyl being unique, hand made to order..

[nyarla]

hey thanks (o)(o)! glad you like! you can just download it for $0, s'fine

my setup is: sounds made with Reaktor, sequenced in Live. it's not exactly generative/algorithmic, tho does kinda sound like it could be hey. i like to record some chords/tune, get some drum machines or whatever going, then
use arpeggiators and vocoders on it all to break it up, trigger the midi notes in different ways & morph everything in unpredicted ways until something cool comes out. then loop it and record myself going over it repeatedly twiddling knobs and faders... dunno how to describe it in a less unwieldy way.

tldr: tracks start off being entirely on purpose, then become increasingly less so

[nyarla]

couple new ones from me:

THE KWEM - 19 minute 1 track ep
https://eryngi.bandcamp.com/album/the-kwem

Mosquito Coaster - was going to just be a little ep but accidentally ended up full length
https://eryngi.bandcamp.com/album/mosquito-coaster

[nyarla]

uh, the mastering on track 4 from mosquito album was bad so i redid it and updated.. if anyone downloaded it, might wanna dl it again, s'much nicer now =) (added a 2nd little bonus track too)

the ability to UPDATE an ALBUM...how weird...
