Announcing CAP2010

Louigi Verona · March 27, 2010, 11:51:52

Hey guys!

I am announcing a project that might be of interest to ambient fellas like Chris and Sam.

It is called Collaborative Ambient Project.

All the info is on my site here.

when does it begin?

Louigi Verona · March 27, 2010, 19:17:47

As it says on the site, it starts June 1st and goes on throughout summer.

how nice of you to start it on my birthday -> you really must want me involved :-)

Sam and I will just use paul's extreme stretch to take 30 second recordings of city traffic stretched to 60 minutes. Ought to be profound . (j/k)

seriously - it is something I find interesting.

thanks for the invite LV.

Well.. I wasn't aware of the fact that I'm an 'ambient fella' ..
Nevertheless, I'm in.

Even harsh noise can be microscoped into a pleasant environment.
Maybe I will stretch a 24 hour country traffic recording into 2 minutes of ambient..

Louigi Verona · March 28, 2010, 08:15:41

Sam, you certainly are

Ambient, as you know I understand it, is music with flattened out structure, which that does not have foreground and background but which are blended in together. A lot of your music is like that - ambient does not only mean some new age "calming" music.

Anyway, I am glad you find it interesting, guys! Any questions or suggestions anyone has - write here. I will also keep you updated on the status of my preparations of CAP.

Nice I'll tell my friend.

lilmanjs16 · March 28, 2010, 21:17:05

just posted my latest album in the free downloads section. would anything like that work? if not I bet I can provide a link(s) to some ambient I've made that would work. I'm really interested in this

Louigi Verona · April 08, 2010, 10:08:39

Yep, your stuff definitely works!

Actually, I do not know what doesn't work. Hardcore stuff won't, you know, but you can do lots of stuff even with a hardcore recording. Basically, anyone can take part in the project.

AlisterFlint · April 08, 2010, 10:52:41

you mention on the CAP page, it'd start with a given chord. would you happen to have it ready?

it doesn't start till the 1st of june though. I do wonder though what type of file we need to give. Wav, FlAC or mp3?

Louigi Verona · April 09, 2010, 13:00:53

Alister: yeah, Dmaj (Bmin).

lilmanjs16: wav is better, but mp3 and ogg will also work.

uncloned · April 09, 2010, 13:07:23

Hmmm

D maj does not equal B min

so... what are you thinking?

combined is D 6th or B min 7th

Louigi Verona · April 09, 2010, 14:22:48

Yeah, I apologize for bad wording. I am also not very good with musical terms.

Dmaj - primary chord, as a lot of ambient music is harmonically static.

Someone might want to make things more moving, so he can basically try to use the whole Dmaj scale if he wants to and thus get a Bmin scale as well if one would want to add some minor colours. All of that could easily be transformed back into Dmaj.
