https://castleview.bandcamp.com/album/sweet-venom-island

It's a loose concept album about being shipwrecked onto an unknown island in the middle of the ocean. I'd love to hear what people think of it. It's been a few years since I've released anything.

I'm a fan of his. I think my favorite albums by him are Avalon Sutra and The Plateaux Of Mirrors with Brian Eno. I dig the comparison.

Keep it up what do you use to make stuff? You got machines or you use software? Both?

Some of both. I use more hardware synths than I used to. I also have a hardware granular sampler that I used quite a bit on this album. I still use a lot with VST synths though.

I use Reaper for recording and Audacity to piece together my tracks.

I listened to the first track and got lost in work so that's always a good thing.

Nice. It's pretty easy to use and it works with my VST plugins pretty well. That's why I used it for four years now.

This was pretty good. I don't usually listen to ambient music so I thought I'd just check out the first track, but I ended up listening to the entire thing.

I appreciate it. For this one, I was going for an organic drone sound. Plus, my previous album was noisier and I wanted something with more clarity as well.

Awesome. My best stuff IMO is my more recent stuff so I recommend working backwards through the discography. The earliest releases for the most part were pretty rough because I had hardly any recording experience at the time.

Also, feel free to download anything you want, even if you don't pay.

I had never heard of him until you mentioned him. Didn't realize he's been around for so long.

I love listening to ambient/drone music while reading as well.
