I wanted to wait until I had adequate material before I announced this YouTube channel. 6 hours is a good start I think.... and I definitely plan on adding more. This isn't even music so.... don't expect it to be something you listen to or watch intently. After streaming some of this on my TV through my soundbar/subs, I think there's an element of drone here. I do have drone and ASMR tags included in the video descriptors. Even though I'm not standing under those titles with this project's presentation, its close enough of a match that it wouldn't hurt to mention. I personally like this a lot. It has pretty awesome presence and atmosphere. Everything turned out great, and its more unique than most other "natural" white noise channels, in my opinion. My wife even digs it and she's my "normal filter" for these types of things. Here is the link to the channel. www.youtube.com/channel/UC1KhEdOyfo2mxM7AdCDqMkwI am grateful to any and all subscribers. Feedback is definitely welcome. I'm also happy to answer how-its-made type questions, if there are any, but.... I think I would like to see a few guesses first before I just blurt that information out.

I've been listening to a bit of "IV". Sounds awesome so far!! For my part, I added this to your "non-metal" page on my blog. To help promote it

Three tracks down, three to go. If anything, I'm enjoying it more as I listen, which is pretty kewl because I liked it as soon as I heard it. I'll be interested to read how you made it, once you give the great reveal. Are there any vocals on it? I feel like I heard vocals in a layer of sound.

My wife has asked me twice to "watch" something else while I had this going on the TV. Why? She was getting sleepy! XD I'll be interested to read how you made it, once you give the great reveal. Are there any vocals on it? I feel like I heard vocals in a layer of sound. I'll private message you "the reveal", since you asked. There's definitely nothing controversial or questionable in how this is made, but... its hard to address that question without outright spilling the beans.

SUPER dope. Also I am glad that you have worked through the creative slumps (that I feel like I read about on the prayer request thread a while ago ... idk if that's true and even recent, now that I type that out). I didn't get a chance to listen to the rest of the uploads right, but I'm planning on doing so as soon as I have a chance to sit down and work.

I slept to the album last night Very relaxing! I was expecting it to be more "unnerving" given how it's specifically meant to be "darker" than normal stuff like this, but it's a GREAT example of what I'm always talking about with metal and ambient -- it has a dark sound, but not a dark essence. The instrumentation / notes / etc could be perceived as "unnerving" by themselves, but create an atmosphere of, for lack of a better word, "purity".

This is good stuff! I too am interested to hear how you made them. I hear some similarities in style to some of Steve Roach's darker pieces, but the ambiance or "feel" of these is even darker, but in a good way, and I love that. Your creativity is impressive Thomas Eversole - so happy you've worked through some of the issues you've been having with your musical output. Now I have to stop listening becasue I'm at work and getting sleepy....very sleepy....

I have worked more on this project. It is very likely that I will upload at least 1 new video today... possibly more...

13 hours now. I think I'll work on more of this next week. I like how trippy some of the footage is. My wife and I were watching XIII before bed and discussing what stuff looked like on the screen. Kind of like an old fashioned looking up at the sky and saying what clouds look like, except darker, not clouds..... and on a TV.... XD

13 hours now. I think I'll work on more of this next week. For my personal notes: Are you planning to add future videos to the same playlist? Or are you planning to make different playlists? (Like with different titles, or themes, or something)

Are you planning to add future videos to the same playlist? Or are you planning to make different playlists? (Like with different titles, or themes, or something) I probably would have never thought of that in a million years, but that's a FANTASTIC idea. Themed playlists. I think I'll try to work on that today...

Well I got the videos picked out of what I want for playlists. Can't for the life of me think of names I want for these..... that's the bottleneck right now.

I've always been been partial to names like "I GOT IN A FIGHT??? EPIC FIDGET SPINNER PRANK GONE WRONG (POLICE CALLED?!) + GTA 6 UNBOXING (OFFICIAL COPY FROM ROCKSTAR GAMES NOT CLICKBAIT)" and things like that I dunno, when I can't think of a name for something (which is almost every time I upload something) I either just briefly describe it and make that the title or name it something that it reminds me of.

I'll figure it out, but those are good suggestions. I may sleep on it and get to these tomorrow, but I really like the multiple playlists idea, and I'll go for it.

Really glad you liked the suggestion, man! Heh, I didn't even intend for it to be a "suggestion" per se, but I'm glad you liked it anyway! I will most likely try sleeping to this music again tonight. I haven't been sleeping quite as well the past few nights (which I can safely blame on my recent increased caffeine consumption which I really need to work on), but this music definitely helps relax me.

At this time, there are now a total of 5 different playlists. As I add more videos, more lists will be added and current lists will be updated.

I've got the video footage recorded for 5 more entries. I'll try to get those up and running this week....

Post by Thomas Eversole on May 21, 2018 19:22:55 GMT -6
Well, it took a little longer to get those up and running, but those 5 videos have been added today. 18 videos totaling 18 hours. 2 new playlists as well as 3 of them being edited. Do I plan to add more? Of course! ....but I've exhausted all the video footage I can take from my backyard. XD

Well, I guess its time to promote this channel outside this thread. Still only 5 subscribers and 2 of them are my other channels.....

After posting on a few Reddits, I've now got 10 subscribers! Also, it feels really good to honestly give this response to this question....

I subscribed last night and tried it out for the first time. It's very good drone/noise, I like it a lot in that it made me fall asleep! But that means it's kinda your fault Thomas that I didn't get to play Ire longer because I got too sleepy xD lol. I'll continue to utilize this channel, thank you!

Glad you dig it Deepfriar! I'd have more videos done if the weather would cooperate. Already got the audio completed for 7 more "tracks". The past 2 weeks its either no breeze whatsoever - too still, not enough movement to capture.... ...or like the last 2 days, crazy thunderstorms and massive winds. Somewhere in between plz God. I just need a late morning - early afternoon with a reliable breeze.... T-T
