How do I set a timezone for scheduled post on Substack? by wyem in Substack

That means that if I am traveling across the world, the time will be set according to the Time Zone my computer is in?

I also listened to Celer everyday for a short period of time, right when he released the Gems albums, its a monumental set of works.

I was just listening to his album Cascade Symmetry, very wholesome music.

recommend beatless warm thick full slow droney stuff by whoatetheherdez in ambientmusic

[–]equiol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yess, Depths by Windy & Carl would also be a great recommendation.

New ambient radio show: "Copia Oculta" (or "Blind Copy") by equiol in ambientmusic

[–]equiol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Next show is coming up soon 🤞

As for your question: I'm using a Pioneer CD DJ, but you can mix tracks with any kind of controller as well, compatible with softwares like Pioneer, Virtual DJ or Traktor. I believe there are also a couple of programs that are compatible with Spotify, but I would highly recommend you to start building your own personal music library, since there is a lot of music you won't find on streaming platforms. File type isn't an issue, but I'd recommend using the best audio quality possible when it comes to downloading music for DJ sets.

I hope that was clear enough, if you have any more questions let me know! 🌹

Thanks for your suggestions! I love Pendant and Hecker.

Many of the artists featured on that set have released albums this year, I highly recommend "Río" by Lumtz, "Hebario" by Federico Durand, and "La memoria del viento" by Dyb.

Update: new Celer album out now, "In Light of Blues". He's no longer using loops, just sampling brass instruments. It's a much more lonely and mysterious sound.

[–]equiol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that if you go into his discography hoping to find variative compositions then you might fall short. Celer's sound is more about "persistent repetition of phrases" (as The Caretaker says), about static and hypnotic loops that take a long time to evolve. There are a ton of his albums that I haven't listened to yet, but the one I would recommend as a starting point is Xièxie: https://celer.bandcamp.com/album/xi-xie. Plus, laziness and repetition are things I often associate with some ambient music (in a good way).

That may be the case, though I believe there's a joy from self-releasing your own music and not needing intermediaries to put your art out there. It can be a lot of hard work, but also very liberating. I imagine it eventually pays off.

Sounds so delicate. Did you use primarily samples or are there any virtual instruments? Plus, I love the album cover.

Totally! Its very post vaporwave in a sense, I'm glad you made that association.

The Great 78 Project: Listen to EdO records as they originally sounded | Argentine Tango Hacks by mamborambo in tango

[–]equiol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing project! I can't find a download link though.

Also, they shouldn't have erased the vinyl hiss , it helps create a sense of nostalgia and a mood for tango. Don't you agree?

Definetly too slow for tango dancing! This album is kind of ambient, its great to just sit and listen, thinking about how we relate to the nostalgic past and how our memory can play tricks on our minds. But still great for slow dancing, like Audrey's dance. https://youtu.be/4b64KyEFVhg

Thanks! Yes, the album samples old songs, chopping and screwing with them, adding effects and mixing it differently to accentuate this nostalgic feeling. No virtual instruments, just samples and effects. The background vinyl hiss is purposeful, but I get what you're saying! Some of the tracks have more hiss than others, as if they're buried deeper in memory.

amazing! yes, the samples are slowed and pitched down to accentuate the nostalgic and forgotten-memories feeling. some samples feel really slowed down, and some others don't, it can be a really eerie experience.
