my latest muzac is available for purchase in the wonderful world of iTunes 😀

>> Shop for Angstrom's Album at iTunes<< >>have a proper listen to it at last.fm<<

it's melodic, laid back beaty, electronic, vaguely er 'funky' , trip-hop influenced downtempo stuff with a bit of ambienty dub thrown in for good measure.. Yes, I can't describe my own music.

Of course, it features a lot of Synthmaker synths and effects scattered throughout it.

If you live in the USA you are allowed to buy my stuff from Amazon MP3, sadly everywhere else hasn't been allowed to use the service yet. Supposedly that will happen soon.

I've listened to Expectation Gap on your site before and it surely is a killer track. The Rhodes bit drives the piece along very nicely without sounding self indulgent. Is this a new mix. It seems to me the e-piano had more 'soloing' parts but that could be my faulty recollection and the fact that it's my favourite bit.

I put the headphones on my wife for a bit of the opening number and she liked it right away... Her tastes are a little less esoteric than mine (without being too mainstream) so if she likes it there's likely a lot of people who will too.

I'm liking the others I've heard before most of all... (e.g. Erased Memory) that's usually a good sign. Your stuff seems to have enough immediate appeal and still more to hear on repeated listens.

Still listening to the rest...

Great work...

that's great news, thanks 🙂

I have of course driven everyone insane near me with mixing these things - so it's good to get opinions from people who have not listened to me mix them for months on end! In particular 'Make it Count' was re-arranged many, many times before I became finally happy with it.

I would imagine that expectation gap only has a different mix balance that it's earlier incarnations, I don't think it lost any sections. I had to go through each track and try to balance them on 'iPod' type speakers, or little tiny earbuds as well as reasonable sized speakers. That one was quite tough because the electric piano is quite penetrating on smaller speakers.

Now I need to finish my new website and I can begin to 'market' it, whatever that consists of !

hey, I chose one of your song in the list randomly... and it was expectation gap... I like it a lot... the guitar has a distinctive timber, very good use of the mangling chopping slicing plugz on the piano and on the overall song... Good mastering also... it's always better to mix on poor popular lofi speaker... to get the sound that everybody's gonna have... It kind of reminds me the intro of The Kiss in Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me by The Cure... In a more electronic 2008 style... I was hoping for voices... a human vocal sample maybe.... but i still went to the end... and listened to it again... Good job !!! And good luck with the selling part of the project...

If you also wanna hear what I do , you can have a look @ http://pagesperso-orange.fr/bnos/

Hope to hear from you...

Peace.
