Set up pre-orders for my latest collection of ambient missives from the outer reaches. These slow moving, gaseous, and resonant songs began life in the fading afternoon light of the forest and found themselves completed in a cityscape. Bandcamp: onidyl.bandcamp.com/album/halon-...

Can't believe summer is almost over already. Autumn officially arrives September 22, and with it comes the final installment of my Season Cycle project. Season Cycle: Autumn is less #ambient than the other seasons, and all of the songs have an emotional and nostalgic undertone.

An afternoon walk through the wilderness. Getting back to nature is of great importance, and essential for a reset. Much more of this to come.

Late summer, looking west - I need to come here for a sunset. A roughly 30 minute walk from my daughter’s apartment. She could walk here almost every day!

Not sure what these are - but they are common enough on the forest floor. A few even have chomps out of them! It looks like orange peel, but not orange peel fungus. #fungifriday #fungifriends #mysteriousmushrooms #mushroom #fungus

My album Coming of Age, a soundtrack for a fictional coming-of-age movie, is 3 years old today! One of my favorite releases to-date, it's 40 minutes of instrumental music laced with nostalgia & covering themes of loneliness, angst, and finding yourself. Free Downloads in the thread!

Album Cover for Ed Herbers' album Coming of Age. Features a twilight photo of the New York city skyline (specifically Hudson Yards facing West). There are several large skyscrapers on the left that are brightly illuminated against the dark sky. The horizon is red and orange from the sunset. The text "Ed Herbers Coming of Age" is in the top-right corner of the image

This is not good, not only for Drew personally (so sorry!) and the other engineers, but the message it sends is pretty bleak. Never been a better time to invest a little time exploring alternatives like @ampwall.com, @mirlo.space, and/or @subvert.fm.
