[ Hypnos Forum ]

 

"You are entitled to my opinion." --Author unknown 

Well, I'm 62 and I still remember where I live a lot of the time.

This forum has always had times of more activity, and other times of less. It's true that overall, people don't visit forums like this as much, now that social media is more of a big thing. People are more inclined to interact on Facebook, Twitter and things like that.

It does seem like a lot of the people who post here are recording artists, but I think that's a good thing. This is one of my favorite places to ask questions and get advice about technical things, for that reason.

I like that, too. On my social media sites, most of my friends are not interested in ambient music or music making and recording gear or techniques. On a forum such as this , I tend to know more about the people posting and their expertise. It is amazing to me how knowledgeable Hypnos forum members are about so many different subjects.

Just voted from my computer and then tried to vote again from my iPhone. It informed me that my vote had already been counted. Like Mike said, don't hesitate to remind us. I sometimes have a hard time remembering my socks in the morning. 

 

The introduction section is in the Everything And Nothing section, but what you wrote is a pretty good intro. I plan to download and listen to more of your music this weekend when I have more time. As I said earlier , I'm a sucker for drones, especially analog drones. We all came to this music through different paths which makes it interesting to read how others found it. Good luck with your music and I look forward to hearing more.

Wow! Now I'm getting excited. Where can I pre-order?   

I often wonder if I have to much music, as well. I often , due to economic reasons, have to curtail my buying for a short period of time. Now happens to be one of these times as I have taken off quite a bit of time from work in the last four months or so. I had back surgery followed by a death in the family and a trip that had been planned in advance that I didn't want to cancel. I do know that soon I will go back to purchasing releases in this genre.I enjoy hearing new works and also I enjoy supporting artists that I know and like their music. I do feel a certain sense of community being on a forum like this as I have for quite sometime. I also get excited when I hear of a new release from a forum member. I can't buy them all, but I do try to be supportive. As we all know this is not a big money field, so often just the encouragement is important to an ambient artist. I'm glad that Hypnos is not going anywhere soon. I hope that everyone is able to get something out of this genre of value. I have talked to artists who are struggling to get their music heard and only wish the best for them and i will continue to be supportive when I can.

Hi Castleview. Welcome to the forum. I haven't had a chance to really listen to this yet. I've only been able to listen to fairly short segments due to constraints on my time this week. What I've heard so far sounds good. Hopefully this weekend will allow more time for a deeper listening. I will say that putting up an entire album is a bit overwhelming for a lot of forum members, especially for someone we don't know yet. You might try in the future putting up one track or parts of tracks. It is easy for someone to see an entire album and think , "I don't have time to listen to an album right now. Maybe later", and then never get back to it. I know I have been guilty of this in the past. anyway, just my $.02. Cheers!   Harry

I know I already posted on Richard's facebook page, but I agree, this is one of the best releases of the year.
