Hey, remember if you're interested in having your music covered in my Other People's Music series, you *have to request it*! I know it's uncomfortable for some of y'all to ask for stuff, but it is *not* an imposition! I want you to ask!

Here's the basics of how it works:

https://www.etherdiver.com/2024/04/04/opm-other-peoples-music/

Emphasis here is *please ask me to cover your work* even if we're friends and you think I *know* you're interested. Even if we're not friends and you're afraid of seeming needy (or whatever).

Spend your weekend discovering some new music! This week's Other People's Music has some interesting stuff: 90sesque rock and swampy garage psych! Experimental techno and creepy soundscapes! Hyper pop inspired by Greek mythology!

How I made the track 'Receding Airline’.

I wrote a bunch in this about messing with notes not audio, using what Bitwig call “note fx”, and the joy of doing arbitrary stuff to surprise yourself. Not sure how I went on describing this! It got long and I rewrote it many times.

Also, a little on making music using someone’s tech and then they go and Milkshake Duck… *deep sigh*

The brand-new Other People's Music opens with vampiric garage psych and closes with a hyper dance-pop dive into Greek mythology. In between we get '90sesque post punk, experimental techno and unsettling soundscapes.

How I made the track 'Small Things Popping’.

This is one where I had something finished in 2022 but just never fully dug it, so I share what it sounded like and wrote a bit about how I reworked it.

Includes me playing ukulele, somewhat improbably?

I'm working on this week's Other People's Music right now, and it is a GOOD one (side note: they're all good). That means today is the final day you can call the current batch of Other People's Music "the new one," so go have a look!

How I made the track 'Trellis'. In this one I wrote about self-remixing tracks to get out of habits, polymetric loops, using vocoders to *not* make robot voices, field recordings with contact mics...

This week's Other People's Music takes a dive into the darkness! A couple different takes on dark, moody industrial; high-energy, eclectic electronic dance music; instrumental power pop; and a retro acid house flashback!
