Unconscious Ritual

During the Summer I spent much of my time experimenting with an open source sound editor called Audacity. It’s as basic as it gets, but using my webcam microphone I was able to make various home recordings and manipulate them into unusual and often ‘dark’ ambient soundscapes. I was partly motivated by a desire to create my own meditative soundtracks, rather than rely on the works of other exceptionally brilliant ambient artists such as Steve Hillage, Michael Stearns, Wendy Carlos, Staruha Mha, among many others.

All of my experiments can be listened to and downloaded at Last.fm, and exclusively for this blog I’ve put together four tracks under the title Unconscious Ritual for anyone interested in downloading and sampling for yourselves.

The download is free (containing 4 mp3s) and available over at the Internet Archive (Unconscious Ritual)
