If you like slowly evolving themes & sounds, low frequencies & volumes mixed with rhythmic patterns, deep pulses, flowing or static sound surfaces, "Hush! Caution! Echoland!" may be a place to bookmark for you.
These are "real" mixes, performed live using effects like filters, delays and granulators. Tracks are cut out & in again, played simultaneously and contrasted with other tracks. A good portion of the music featured here are my own works - complete pieces & single tracks extracted from productions in my archives.
The rest of the material is drawn from a wide variety of genres & styles: Electronic, Avantgarde/New Music, Pop/Rock, Dance/Club Music, Ethnic and Field Recordings, Spoken Words. You like to be surprised? Please be my guest.
The first installment is "Malachus Micgranes' Teahouse #1" - right, the start of a series in a series - presenting my idea of 21st century Teahouse Music. Especially good with a pot of shaded green Kabusecha.

Wow! At 4 hours, this'll take me a while to digest. Many thanks for offering this up, it'll be a welcome companion in my studio, I think!
Dear Seasob,
actually it's "only" 71 minutes;
but the files should playback right.
It's just that your software shows false file properties. Mine does, too, with files from other people. Got no idea why, though.
Have a nice listening time!
Excellent, many thanks
h.c.,
this is a very interesting piece. it appeals to me more than your second composition. this one seems a bit more focused and pleasing to my ear. not that the second did not have its moments. part three was the strongest section, i thought. keep it up! i'd certainly appreciate hearing more!
Thanks for the comments, Geoff & Miles.
You're right, Miles. "How the Birds..." is darker & not as easily accessible as "Teahouse #1", which is rhythmically more coherent & features more melodic parts (and, last but not least, it has "In a Landscape", one of my all-time favorites by John Cage).
But I found that "How the Birds..." grows a lot after repeated listenings. Also, try varying the playback volume.
More will be coming soon.
