I thought I’ve grown out of dark ambient music, but my first piece of music in 2023 landed exactly in that sonic territory. Dark music for dark times I guess.
What's more, its my first time building a musical context out of existing recordings and textures, so I skipped the idea generating step and went straight to big picture level.
“Rusty Remains” is accompanied by haunting, trippy visuals, made out of my photograph from a trip to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in 2021, which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/OVNJiQrfYOA
Growing this track into a bigger form would be a fun challenge for me.
