Slow Music by tempestlapse

Slow Music is a collection of seven very long pieces of ambient music, mostly created between December 2018 and February 2019. Some are drone-based, most involve some generative processes, and one reworks some strings from a much older piece of music. They are all very, very slow.

In making them all, I followed a rough approximation of what I vaguely understand to be Eno's usual process, which is to say that I built palettes of sounds and melodic fragments, set in place some rules on when and how they should play, set up some generative fragments and processes, then sent the whole thing playing and waited to see what happened. There are elements of chance and randomness in all of them, and the seven recordings on Slow Music are just selected versions of the pieces.

The process feels a lot like painting in the dark. If I'm really honest, I'm not sure that they even are music. They feel more like found art, or something.
