M87 - 'Gravity Waves (Redux)' 50-minute space epic

Post by Svartmetall »

This was one of the very first M87 pieces I ever recorded, an improvisation done on 4-track cassette back in about 1994 not long after I came up with the idea for the M87 project itself.

Despite the inherent sonic limitations I'd always liked its atmosphere, so out of curiosity I decided to transfer it to hard disk from the original 4-track tape (which had definitely degraded a little; there was noticeable distortion on the 'choral' sounding track, and the stereo image was wonky in places) and see what I could do to restore and (hopefully) improve it. This huge, cavernous soundscape is the result. Sit back, sink into deepest space and enjoy.

You should put all this stuff on Spotify so it's easier to play through proper speakers and not just on YouTube devices.

Nah, Spotify rip off musicians horribly; I am considering Bandcamp, though. I listem to YT on my gaming PC, which has a good sub-and-stereo-pair speaker setup from Microlab; what do you watch youTube on?

Phone and TV. But I use Spotify for music in car or through Sonos at home. considering it's more of an ambient type of music, ie something you might have on in the background it should be on a music streaming or something
