about

these are short pieces of ambient music originally conceived exclusively as short form video to be posted on instagram. tiktoks for instagram. no! i will state clearly and definitively here that, imo, instagram reels, tiktoks, and youtube shorts, are all vines.

most audio was recorded using a canon powershot from the mid 2000's.

i didn't know this until yesterday, but most programs tht play music have looping features: press the, well, the loop button, you'll know it when you see it, on the player screen twice, and you'll see a loop icon with a 1 in it. using this, you can move through this album and spend as much time as wanted occupying the imaginary spaces created by each loop.

i will be starting work on [instagrambient2] immediately, and posting loops on instagram and tiktok as they are made.
