ontol: Eustatic (guitar/synth ambient)

[aoVI]

It cost me a spot on Ambient Online 6, but it's finished.

5 pieces of varying lengths, slow moving, and not too many delays this time. Dark and somewhat minimal overall. Several are guitar based.

My dad took the photo I used on the cover back in 1978 while he was on a tour of duty aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. I found it in a drawer of slides.

As always, stream from bandcamp or download for free by entering "0" as the amount.

Very nice, I liked Llys Helig the best.
I felt like it needed a little more volume, though. Is it still waiting a mastering?

[aoVI]

No, just a mishap. I probably uploaded the wrong version. I'll fix it.

I also noticed on my CD burn of Dwarka (track 1) there is rumbling low end from my fingers hitting the strings--thought I cleared it up. I don't have a sub at my workspace, but do in the car. I thought it was thunder.

Mastering is my least favorite thing.

very nice! will add those to my playlist for my next mix especially Eidum is great and the photo fits perfectly. Somehow reminds me of star wars, this desert planet..

[Organic Patterns]

Wonderful work! I liked all of it, especially Phela is very calming :-) I really like the cover as well!

[aoVI]

thanks everyone for listening!

[Maharg]

Well done!

Excellent album by the way. I particularly like Llys Helig, Pheia and Eidum. Beautiful work, love the quietness and gentle sounds.

Nice work! Good guitar playing as well as synth work. Love the artwork as well.

While I've yet to manage to listen to the whole album uninterrupted, I really like all that I've listened to. Really fine work!

[aoVI]

I just want to thank everyone who found time to have a listen to this. The response really meant a lot to me.

First of all, I'm sorry this cost you a spot on AO6. I know how it is though...in music, priorities produce results. If you put something in the forefront of your workload, you'll finish it. No question.

Secondly, I love your style of ambient music. I don't know what it is...maybe the fact you use real "instruments" or maybe it's your processing, but I'm a big fan.

Interesting track names too. I love everything about this release. An instant ontol classic!

Cheers,

I like this a lot too, maybe my favourite of your releases so far.

Needs more delay though. ;)
