Obscura is up!

New music, peeps!

  1. Obscura is awesome :) Reminded me of minimalesque Brian Eno music. It was a remembrance of the exact feeling of wonder I used to get when I was a kid and watched Disney movies (still do). Also found the apt abruptness of Bjork backdrops mixed with fantastical soundtrack inspirations (and after seeing your playlists, I could see where you get those influences!)

    Anyways, great music. Will give more listens once soundcloud stops cutting me off. And your blog is awesome too! Keep it up, I lost touch with mine a while back :/

    PS Checked out Bjorks new release yet?

    1. Hello Taimur. Thanks for all the praise.... While I was working on Obscura, I thought about my childhood - the cold bits, the warm bits, the revelation, the joy, awakenings, newly minted experiences, etc and squished them into music. I arranged the tracks as I felt would be in order of my growing up. So that's why I described it as "a scrapbook for my younger self" on soundcloud.

      I am a huge fan of animated movies myself (Disney, non-Disney both). I recently watched the secret of Kells (gorgeous soundtrack and art, really recommend it).

      Thanks for appreciating my blog, dude. I haven't been coming here very much since the new year, but I've been writing some poetry on tumblr.

      And no, I haven't checked out Vulnicura yet - will do so after finishing up on some university work :) Thanks for commenting!

  3. umm I ended up deleting your comment somehow after I saw the non-public part.... Anywat, thanks for the link and code :) loved the stuff, listened to it as I wrote up some molecular biology practicals. Something in it actually reminded me a little bit of tomb raider 3 game soundtrack, don't know how!

    and a collab? YES! I have lots of free time. I am also very bad at using that free time. I am itching to make some music, but I feel very empty at the moment - I tried to work on some old tracks and got nothing. If you got something I can contribute to, then good :) Oh and the tumblr link... here (http://onceuponapakistanigirl.tumblr.com/)

  4. Arite. I was thinking we make a long track that's mostly drone and silent, and it could have little bits of your movements interspersed either randomly or intermittently.

    I'll send you the drone track and note the music modes and bpms should you need them. We can resume our convo on soundcloud, cool?
