about

Good middle July to you!
And welcome, if you are new to this site.

The aim over the course of these three tacked, homemade tracks is very plain: to represent a peasant's take on hardworking minimalism.

With just an electric piano playing a acoustic piano preset, manipulated in range, sustain, release and decay, the music is extremely steadfast in its attitude towards sensibility.

Sonically, you can hear the mic pick up my tacked piano pressings. Compositionally, one feels held tightly, like a comforting hug from your home ghost.

I enjoy making stuff like this. A lot. I don't make enough of my favourite type of minimalism - piano minimalism. Especially in the neoclassical, Nest against Deaf Center style.

Those are two more artists to check out (or duos, this is me and my invisible girlfriend).

It is an honour for me to keep releasing on the Bandcamp label. And to get to manage everything digitally myself...a real boon. Until next time...

:)

Pulse Dive
by 36

36 (spelt three-six), the moniker of Dennis Huddleston, turns in his best work for me personally on this warm, sonic bath of tonal ambient that relies on classical music and raga pacing influences. :) Foci's Left
