Guest jimbobuk Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm looking at putting some nice melodic tunes into the background of some home movies i've been shooting of my new nephew. In thinking of suitable tunes I got to thinking of trying to make up a mix of tunes that could perhaps be played to him to soothe him to sleep, whilst at the same time opening his mind to my kind of music from a really early age. So I put it out there.. can anyone recommend any tracks, albums, or artists that have a really nice melodic and gentle sound, something a little music box-esque perhaps. Cheers!!

Earth Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Aphex Twin - Fingerbib is the winner of this question! (Nannou is also really good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Start him on Autechre, the sooner he gets into it, the sooner he'll love it. In before read the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbobuk Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks... i think it was Nannou that i found last night which started me thinking these kind of thoughts... I'm going to go through my collection and identify any potential tracks, i'll try to post the details on here. Cheers, i'm going to go check out fingerbib!!!

mcbpete Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Plone - For Beginner Piano. My nieces loved that album when they were likkle.... Might be a little action packed for sending them off to sleep though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbobuk Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 There are no real rules... I personally always enjoy the odd more gentle tracks like i've described, any tracks that manage to balance that sound with a glitchy or otherwise more hard core crunch even better.. So anything anyone can think of that hints at these subtle melodic piano/music box vibe then i'd love to hear it.. I was searching youtube last night, found the nannou track and some random comment there put me onto a track by trentemoller, someone i'd never heard of... his "The Last Resort" album grabbed off emusic and listened to today at work and i really enjoyed a lot of the tracks on it... The track this commenter originally raved about was Miss you, i'd link a video of it if that's ok? But yeah this track certainly has what i'm talking about.. lovely reverbing melody, echo-ing clicking percussion, background synth sweeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimbobuk Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Arovane's Ambelio off of Atol Scrap Bola's Waknuts off of Kroungrine (has elements that sound right, others that are perhaps a bit too out there for this purpose when it gets going) Christmas Baubles' Nuo Comp off of Christmas Baubles and their strange sounds Eluvium's Radio Ballet off of Copia (love the melody) Secede's say i said so off of Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic (probably the perfect example of my kind of music in this style. Would have to be worth seeing if the baby could take the beats) Autechre's Yulquen off of Amber (I do love early autechre... lovely) BOC's Concourse off of Boc Maxima (BOC's sound is so evocative of childhood anyway, they're mini tracks are all easy fits) Bochum Welt's Fortune Green off of Feelings On A Screen Casino Versus Japan's warm windows off of Go Hawaii Clark's Night Knuckles off of Body Riddle (manic music boxing) Eluvium's Indoor Swimming At the Space Station off of Copia (not really suiting my original description but its soothing and a nice tune) Frog Pocket's Plinty and Baral Orgen 2 off of Gonglot Isan's vosill off of Beautronics Proswell's At The Dock and Duck off of Carrot Dossier Secede's crave & fall off of Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic Ten and Tracer's dragon simply speaking off of Companion out of my top rated tracks in itunes. They're all awesome tracks in my opinion if anyone hasn't heard any of the artists mentioned do try listening to any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he's still making music though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iamabe Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 "Not for Threes" by Plaid is a pretty cutesy album with lots of cute-ass melodies. There is some great bubbly steel drum type stuff in the middle of that record. Otherwise I suggest Venetian Snares' Nymphomatriarch for the womb-sounds that will surely nurture your nephew death fuck mental beats SAWII disc 1 track 5 73-yips (pancake lizard) pancake lizard RULES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root5 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I would strongly recommend adequate by awkward. http://www.beakdotcom.com/futonicrecords/fu004.html It's really soothing, and a kick-ass album as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
