I'TS BEEN A WHILE

Its nearly November already,
A few mixes down the line since last time i "Blogged" and more and more new fans, much love.
Just finished and released a mix  featuring the very talented Elizabeth Joan Kelly,
If you have not heard of her then Google her.
She makes music that fits nicely within the Ambient atomic orbital world.
The mix show cases her new album Farewell, Doomed Planet.
Ambient, experimental and dark.
Just how we like it.

I will try to keep you up to speed on what is happening here in AOO towers but life gets in the way at times so bare with us.

Lots more mixes to come, some dark, some very dark, and on the other side some light and airy.
(But mostly dark ;-) )

Thanks for listening, if you didnt then i may as well start collecting stamps.

Much love xx⟴
 

Update on our dark minds..

OK, Its now Mid May and the weather is getting warmer and the days longer.
That means spending more time in the studio out the back where there is no heating.
Which means we can spend more time searching for ambient gems to include in our mixes, signed artists or otherwise.

We seem to go back to the same artists work by default but  now we have made a conscious decision to try and break the cycle.

So many unsigned ambient artists producing great music, and we mean music that you find yourself going back to and listening again and again, lovely stuff.

If you are familiar with our mixes then you know that they can get quite dark,
Well, hold on to your daughters, because its about to get a whole lot darker.
Why ?, because that's the way we like roll.
The darker the better.

We want you to keep looking behind you when you are listening, so you have been warned.

Seriously, thanks for the support thus far.
We only make them because you listen.
If you didn't listen, then we would be fishing instead !!

Much love  xx

AMBIENT IS GOOD FOR YOUR SEX LIFE

NOW WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION !!!  ;-)

Hello All,
                 There seems to be a lot of new ambient / experimental music coming through at the moment which makes my life easier as a podcast maker.
Always looking for new ambient to include in a mix.
If you are an ambient producer and make music to this genre then contact us.
I cant promise anything but if we can we will show case your track / tracks for free giving you world wide coverage within one of our mixes of which are becoming very popular.
And all free of course as its a labour of love for us.

Thank you for listening, and if you like the mixes, then let us know.
We would love that.

Peace,

EVOLVING NOW

Hello to all followers of my podcast mixes.
I don't make a habit of blogging as I don't know if anyone is really that interested in anything other than the music but here goes anyway.

You will know that the mixes I do feature mainly already well established ambient / experimental artists, and what you realise very quickly is that though there are plenty of tracks from these artists, after a while it gets very samey samey as they do not release music as often as I would like.
And so what tends to happen is that you keep using the same tracks but try and mix it up the best way you can and this can make the listener feel cheated. SO....

Recently, What I have started doing is accepting submissions of unsigned artists who make music to these genres and I have got to say there is some immense talent out there.

I choose the tracks only that make me sit up and listen and not those just to fill the mix.
So far I have worked with a few artists and their work portfolio has been most impressive.

So if you so know anyone who is producing "good" ambient / experimental then let them know.
I can offer world wide exposure within a mix that gets posted to Mixcloud and Podomatic which then goes to iTunes.

I CANT PROMISE EVERYONE WILL GET A MIX PRODUCED  but its simple, if its good ambient, it goes in.
approximately
I use approximately 4 minutes of a track, and that track must have no drums at all.
I may put together 1 whole mix show casing their work or it may be the odd track in a mix with other artists,

No money is involved, its just me and my hobby, and the artist having their work pushed to all listeners of Ambient Atomic Orbitals around the world.
I will try this for a short period and see if there is any interest, if not then I will continue digging for ambient in other dark places.

I will obviously post links to the artists web site for that kind of traffic as standard.

Please continue listening if you are not a producer and much love to all AAO listeners
