Abandoned Attic | An Experimental, Dark Ambient album with Lo-Fi beats

Abandoned Attic is an Experimental, Lo-Fi and Dark Ambient esque album with Lo-Fi beats and occasional glitch/noise sounds sampling/remixing corrupted video game music. Containing samples from SNES, Nintendo DS(NDS), N64, GameCube, PS1 and Nintendo Wii vgm.

The album has a dark/eerie feeling to it for most songs but also has some chill songs. There are also a couple of songs with harsh/weird sounds in it.

A little bit of background information about me:

I've been playing around with corrupted vgm samples for the past 4 years. We use a tool to alter the games code in an emulator to create interesting sounds from sequenced vgm. Most of the time these turn out to be really funny or just bad but there's that .1% of corrupted vgm that has a lot of potential to be sampled into an interesting song. I've started sampling and mixing corrupted vgm samples like 4 years ago just for fun and created some short mixtapes as a hobby. A little over two years ago I started releasing albums of songs built around corrupted vgm samples and I still enjoy it to this day. It's always a surprise what the outcome will be because it's mostly just trial and error.

The album cover is a picture I took in our Attic. These are some Nintendo consoles (GameCube, N64 and Gameboy) I own and I've set them up as props and a couple of other props. I've added some cool effects to it and I did a lot of other edits. I think it turned out pretty well and I think it matches pretty well with the sound of the album. I hope you'll enjoy the music. Feel free to ask me questions in the comments.

I also have a YouTube playlist with all the individual songs:

Antler Disko - Languish Season (ambient techno/post-industrial)

Languish Season

Put out a new album under the Antler Disko moniker today. It's been an interesting trek so far to dig into various hardware synths and samplers by means of experimental electronica and see what comes out of it on the other side. Sort of like a personal meditation process coloured with the joy of creation and discovery. Any listens and thoughts, discussions, questions, or otherwise, are more than welcome!

Give it a try. It's a blending of musique concrète with electropop sensibilities and features an electroacoustic outro reflecting the anthropic sense of safety and security. Hope you like it!

Spoken word industrial no wave music like swans' cop?

Hello! For the past month, I have enjoyed swans' album cop. It's very soothing for me to hear the tones of the guitars, bass, drums, and the calm/spoken word-ish vocals, specifically on their song 'cop'. But recently I have been using bandcamp to find more songs like it, with little to no luck. Albums like " Explaining Death To Children" was good, but has no spoken word vocals I loved and the industrial songs are few and far between. If anyone knows of any good no-wave, spoken word, industrial songs/albums/artists, (beside Godflesh's Streetcleaner) I will be much appreciative! Thanks!

I tried to experiment on my first EP in dramatic ways

I used a lot of weird things that usually wouldn't coincide with the style of ambient I was otherwise going for when I began the process. It started simple like going with drums into incorporating impossibly weird mixes for this impossible tension to straight up harsh noise and a bunch of other general weird things that I feel added to the music

Let me know if I did that idea justice or just straight up don't know what i'm talking about because i'd love to hear an input

I B - I/M 001

I/M 001 : https://m.soundcloud.com/i-b-294887592/im001

A personal mix shaped by the deathstep rawest bass, tear-out rhythms, darktechno and experimental sounds that have resonated with me. This is a tribute to the underground artists who continue to inspire and push boundaries. Hope you feel it.

Best use of silence and space in experimental compositions?

There have been times I've found silence in a track unsettling, but a few times it's been perfect. What track for you stands out as far as use of silence?

Favorite non-Western musical traditions on experimental music?

I recall some of you referenced the Beatles’ weirder songs and Indian influences, but I’m wondering if there’s a musical tradition outside of the usual Western styles that you enjoy in experimental? Recommendations of places to start are welcome.
