Expurgations Vol 2

by Andy Pickford

supported by

ggosselin This stellar compilation really shines as the standalone “Whole Album Mix!” With many art forms, revisiting a work with fresh eyes and/or ears can help strengthen it or make it more palatable for a wider audience. Here, Pickford offers a generous but time-compressed taste of his recent sonic excursions and allows his audience to opt for a longform version if a specific piece speaks to them. Favorite track: Expurgations Vol 2 (Whole Album Mix).

about

Bandcamp freebie time! Feel free to nab it as is, or pay a little toward the work if you want me to think you're wonderful! May have released a few days sooner but have felt under the weather a bit this week. Don't ya just hate migraines?!! Anyway, got it all done and here it is. Don't forget the new album I've also just released: andypickford1.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-mezzanine-king
I know you've got to pay for that one but c'mon... you know you want to! lol

All the stuff I've done since Expurgations Vol 1, expurgated :-)
The super long tracks are really vast elaborate chillout sessions, initially improvised then subsequently adorned with this, that and the other.
Much use of UHe Hive 2 here, along with contributions from Monopoly, BARP2600, Omnisphere and Korg MS20. Still quite long (especially the mix), absorbing and immersive. Everything's in Dolby Atmos, 24bit wav. Sounds great on headphones but I actually mix using my monitors too so I know it sounds great on loudspeakers.

This and The Last Mezzanine King are the first albums to employ new mastering tech. Because these tracks are edits of the original long versions, it's not so prevalent. Until recently mastering Atmos recordings was a bit like quantum physics - a million theories and no real way to tell which one works. Precious few dedicated mastering tools were available and those which were all cost as much as a hardware synth. Now I've got some very good affordable plugins by Toneboosters (cost about £25 each), which are not only designed with Atmos mastering in mind, but they also do 7.1.4 as a native option, allowing for true audiophile mastering of the Atmos tracks themselves. They don't collapse the sound field. The results sound fantastic - just as my ears hear the music when it's made.

I'm a producer who is currently feeling lost... I enjoy working across different styles, but this past year I realized I want to create something similar to your work. You represent the highest expression of atmospheric elegance, which is exactly what I aspire to achieve... IIVANN

Nightshift Mix
by Tangerine Dream

supported by 28 fans who also own “Expurgations Vol 2”

Tangerine Dream made a gorgeously mellow, dreamy composition with the Nightshift Mix. This is at the same level as "Raum", "Probe 6-8" and "Quantum Gate" I heard this 100 times and excited for the next listen. Great to focus for work or to relax. So atmospheric, this release reaches the heavens. Thank you Tangerine Dream, Nightshift and Band Camp for providing this. cwchambe
