A short track I did on saturday between 6pm and 7:30 (which is when I got ready to go to the pub to meet my chums)
There is a download button on the player if you’d like to keep a copy to play later.
Why not check out my Soundcloud page for more things?
New project I’m working on – let me know what you think. Download it if you like – for free.
Once again, it’s spacey ambient stuff.
A promo film for ‘One Quarter Gravity’ off the Cosmotourism album is now up on Youtube. Made for a budget of zero by c-dogg.com, it is the first of a projected series of clips for the album. C-dogg promises that they will get more complex, longer and generally better as time goes on.
Flux Rope: Chain reactions in the upper atmosphere triggered by the solar wind and the… actually that’s not stricly true. It’s close to the truth, but not close enough. Without the relevant copy of New Scientist I can’t explain.
This is the fourth in the Dark Flow quartet to be released in 2009 to follow Fake Universe, Hotei Arcūs and Dark Flow
This track will be turning up on iTunes, Emusic, Amazon, etc in the next few months, but for the moment can only be purchased from this here store.
‘Cosmotourism‘ has finally been released into the wild, after what I think might be 2 years. I can’t really explain why it has taken me so long, although there was that week earlier this year when I lost the master files. That was quite distressing. And then there were all those extra tracks that made the album about 90 minutes long. And the extra tracks that weren’t all that good. And I had to change the titles for some tracks, because they were just so bad.
I think the main reason it took me so long to get ‘Cosmotourism’ finished is because I wanted it to be perfect. It isn’t, of course. Nothing is. Perfection is in itself, a flaw. But as far as albums of ambient space music go, this is pretty darn good. But I would say that, wouldn’t I.
Listen to the album on the player (above) or wait for it to arive on iTunes, Amazon, Emusic and places like that. If you get really impatient, you can purchase the HQ-MP3 version using the link on the player for only €6, or even get a lower quality version for free.
The latest Spookydirt release ‘Hotei Arcus’ is now for sale at emusic for just one download credit.
It can also be purchased from iTunes – HERE
Amazon customers can buy it HERE for just 69p
Dark Flow: Music inspired by galaxies rushing away to a remote point of this univserse by the graviational pull of… what exactly? (The scientific name used is ‘Dark Flow’, possibly caused by the graviational action of another universe on our own.)
This is the third in the Dark Flow quartet to be released in 2009 to follow Fake Universe and Hotei Arcūs. Coming soon: Flux Rope.
This track will be turning up on iTunes, Emusic, Amazon, etc in the next few months, but for the moment can only be purchased from this here store.
Hotei Arcūs: Hotei Arcūs is a region of the moon Titan (one of Saturn’s) where there are frozen flows of methane 200M tall and cryovolcanic lava flows. The idea of this truly alien environment inspired this 11 minute ambient landscape by Spookydirt.

'Dark Flow'
I was ‘this‘ far from uploading Spookydirt’s ‘Dark Flow‘ Ep to Tunecore (and then on to iTunes, Emusic, Amazon, etc) and I happened to listen to it at higher than normal volume, and discovered that a sub-bass drone on track 2 was ruining the whole thing through being far too loud. I have spent the past 2 hours trying to find it, sort it out, and then re-master the whole thing.
I obviously didn’t spend enough time on the mastering process the first time around…
The problem with it all – not the EP itself, the process – is that i don’t listen to ambient music at high volume; it defeats the object. But I’m going to have to in future.
Damn! I thought I’d finished ‘Dark Flow’, but listening to it at high volume yesterday I noticed a really nasty sound in the low bass that ruins the second track. So that’s a good hour of work to be done… damn!
'Spookydirt' makes Ambient Electronic Space Music, music to float off to with the lights turned down and a glass of something nice to hand.
Every so often, he will make something that has a beat to it, maybe even a bassline. But don't hold your breath.
He is also a memeber of the ambient chamber classical medieval folk electronica band Far Black Furlong
