just give up making music. Maybe that feeling will pass and there will be Better Days Ahead? 4/5

There isn't really an equivalent on Bluesky (that I have found). Fortunately, I don't do this for the money or the fame but I imagine, if I depended on it, I would be somewhat devastated. As it is, I feel the machines (algorithms) have won and I should 3/5

listening. Streaming is down over 45% compared to this time last year. There was a thriving musicians' community on Threads in 2024, but that seems to have mostly evaporated. 2/5

It's been just over a month since my third album was released. I thought it was at least as good as the second (the positive reaction to which exceeded my expectations) but it has basically bombed. It's not that people are listening and deciding they don't like it, it's just that nobody is 1/3

Resfeber is the track from the latest album with which I struggled the most. Multiple changes of arrangement, and seemingly hundreds of mixes, until I finally found what I was after. It’s notably more ‘experimental’ compared to the other tracks #ambient

Apparently I’m supposed to keep up the promo activity even after the album is out 🤷🏻‍♂️ In that case, wander over here: linktr.ee/evenlode

New album out today in all the usual places. Electronic/orchestral, ambient, beatless type stuff. linktr.ee/evenlode

evenlode @evenlode.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Strictly speaking, it’s already out in places like Australia and Japan, since it’s already “tomorrow” there. Rest of you will have to patiently wait…

I made it known to the Trump team that they were NOT authorised to use my music at his inauguration. He seems to have honoured this request. Also: check out this cool merch!

Very pleased to have written something inspired by evenlode’s poignant, beautiful new album.

Excited to announce that the new album has an accompanying short story by my good friend @speranza62.bsky.social

Not far from evenlode HQ is the Henry Moore Foundation. This is the rear view of this very nice piece (the rear, because you can only see it from the front if you pay to get in…)

Ludwig Wittgenstein gets a mention on the forthcoming album (out next week), so I thought the least I could do was visit his resting place. The Ascension Parish Burial Ground in Cambridge #ambient #philosophy

It’s been a bit frosty 🥶

evenlode @evenlode.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

I posted this on Threads, but because fact checking has been removed, nobody over there believed me. So take my word for it, or wait until 22 January and check Spotify yourselves #ambientmusic

Local paper jumping the gun somewhat on the next album’s release (it’s scheduled for January 22nd), but nevertheless grateful for the plug. More news shortly…

Same vibes as this excellent “bought with” pairing on Amazon: Chorus FX Pedal and several gallons of vinegar

A little further along the North Norfolk coast, Holme Dunes National Nature Reserve, just before sunset. Convinced I have some form of low-level synaesthesia, as I can ‘hear’ pictures like this (and have had various levels of success translating that to #ambient recordings)

Another one from Norfolk. The River Thurne, approaching dusk.

Another derelict building. But look at that sky! No doubt that cloud formation has a special name. Anyone know?

Always an eye-opener. I particularly enjoyed learning you a) probably own two Jags b) sniff too much glue c) are living your life inside an Enid Blyton novel. I tip my hat to you, Sir!

Orford Ness has been in the news today because of its “secret seals” 🦭 I took this picture a few years ago, so doubt if much of what remained of the building then is still intact

Although there's the promise of sunshine to come, the cold seems to want to linger. Like the frost at the church of St Mary's, Tintern, Wales

Frost covers the graves and tombs of this abandoned churchyard. Ivy is gradually consuming what remains of the church building, its roof long gone.

I think I’m still finding “my sound”, so the process is ill defined. However, I think a lot of the dreaminess comes from using the @valhalladsp.bsky.social Super Massive reverb plugin and the excellent Spitfire LABS libraries. Plus a “less is more” ethos: remove notes/instruments to create space

Thank you. Really makes a difference when someone takes the time to listen and comment
