(For Nolstalgia)

So I don't know if this is just me, but I've felt like time has been passing by faster now than it did when we were kids. Every college semester speeds by quicker than the last. I guess I thought it'd be fitting to take some time to have play something that reminds me, and hopefully you, of a time when seconds moved slow and we had no worries.

(For ______)|Disclosure vs. MNEK - White Noise (Full Crate & FS...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0MuVQV0W0w

Usually I'd make a post telling you when to listen this, put in some researched information about the artists, and end with a link on where you can find more on the artists. But, I'm actually not near a wifi zone to do this, while I've had this song on repeat for awhile, I never took the time to look up more on them due to my therestoftheirmusicmaysuck-o-phobia, and (most importantly) i wanted to post on time for once! Also, there's this obnoxious guy that's been yelling "WHERE ARE YOU?" for the past 30 mins and I just want to walk up to him and go "Here, eat a snickers."

However, I can say that this remix is better than the original but eh that's just my opinion. Listen and, if you know more music like this, let me know ASAP.

(Relaxation/Interesting)|Akara - Projection




Listen To For...
  • ...Something to supply creative inspiration.
  • ...The need of orchestration music with a little wub because a little wub never hurts anyone.
  • ...Because look at that album art. Just look at it.
My Opinion & Info on Group:
  • I really like the combination of orchestra instrumentals with electronic effects and sounds. In this particular song, there is a noticeably large prevalence of string instruments working together with (what seems to me to be) a dubstep influence. Added with obscure sounds that seem like wind chimes and water drains (or maybe that's just me) and it comes out well. Also, there is a story within the album. (which I shamefully admit I haven't read in the past 2 years I've had the album)
  • Headed by Joshua Penman (shown above,) a classical composer turned electronic producer, the music created by himself and his live ensemble encompasses nearly twelve years and three continents worth of cultural influence and musical research.

(SleepTime/Relaxation)|Relaxing Piano Music


Listen To For...
  • ...That time of the night morning when you finally said "I'll FINISH THIS IN THE MORNING." and never looked at your alarm clock.
  • ...After a long day at the library studying in your imagination.
  • ...If you like trippy videos.
IMO

  • A while back I was using PaulFromStokeUK's music to focus on an essay. A smart thing that he does with this is that he buries the alpha waves under the piano playing. Personally, it makes listening to alpha waves less trippy. According to his YouTube, alpha wave frequencies are a natural occurring rhythm in our brains when we're deeply relaxed. So I'd definitely recommend it.
