blackstar [ansi043]

relentlessly, yet with a casual air, 'blackstar' winds around the centre of its tonality, enveloping its passive audience in a swirling fog of sound..

satellite [ansi039]

flaunting repetition in a constantly changing frame of strings and pings, one could say 'satellite' presents its own unique abstract interior logic..

qetoret (gong fog) [ansi038]

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 02:01:34 GMT

at 39 releases and counting, we're still considerably young in the scheme of things, and we're glad to slowly broaden our collective's aesthetic scope with tracks such as "qetoret (gong fog)". this superficially sparse but fascinatingly layered piece is one of a select few in our catalogue to featur....

kissing you through being kistna [ansi036]

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 01:42:39 GMT

hearing 'kissing you through being kistna', our latest release, is not unlike hugging a tree - strangely affecting but a little prickly. brief, to be sure, but then again, ansiform does mean 'shaped like a loop'..

cloudsurf [ansi034]

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 04:04:52 GMT

"cloudsurf" is a patient and placid exploration of repetition, variation, and texture. music for airports, one might say... or maybe airplanes?.

i guess you could call me a believer [ansi033]

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 02:58:38 GMT

having gotten back into the swing of things, it's business as usual. we now present a "i guess you could call me a believer" - a classically ansiform-esque slice of drone, tempered with warm fuzz and a pulsating shimmer....

memories [ansi032]

Sat, 02 Jun 2007 01:36:59 GMT

our first release in far too long is typically atypical - a four-track suite of organic textures recast in digital - cold nibbling at the ear, but paradoxically soothing the soul with warmth..

composition iii [ansi031]

Mon, 19 Dec 2005 18:12:17 GMT

just in time for the nadir of winter (at least in the overpopulated northern hemisphere which most of us call home) is 'composition iii', a chilly, cyclic drone. it shares a name with a classic work by piet mondrian: coincidence? probably not....

ten minutes of progress [ansi030]

Sun, 04 Dec 2005 21:29:53 GMT

if you're actively listening to 'ten minutes of progress', you'll likely find it as an exercise in patience. as its title might suggest, it begins with virtually more silence than sound and gradually builds to a gorgeous chorus of sculpted tones....

each year of our lives [ansi029]

Fri, 11 Nov 2005 21:59:49 GMT

'each year of our lives' is our thirtieth anonymous, ambient release, but is our first in a few respects; this is the first ansiform release composed of several movements (3), and consequently the longest (spanning nearly a half hour)....

whaleses abysses [ansi028]

Tue, 01 Nov 2005 19:02:54 GMT

'whaleses abysses' is a track from a new contributor whose name is none of your business (as is the protocol around these parts). if you really listen with intent, you might notice it seems to be a two-part piece, but attentive listening is not required to benefit from this sweet, spacey drone..

can or cannot [ansi027]

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 06:05:31 GMT

it's been almost a month?? time to change the wallpaper, if you catch our drift... yes, 'can or cannot' is a drone, but it's a drone with direction. don't get it? hear it. you'll understand..

it only hurts when i think about it [ansi025]

Fri, 02 Sep 2005 01:56:43 GMT

perhaps it's ironic that 'it only hurts when i think about it' is hard to think about, even by our standards. it's so innocuous that it practically begs to be ignored. if you manage to bring it to the forefront of your attention you'll be pleased by the surprisingly evocative texture of the lone ins....

lakeside (monsters from day to night) [ansi024]

Mon, 22 Aug 2005 20:28:28 GMT

much of the music we release is the perfect accompaniment to a good night's sleep... this track, however, is a soundtrack to a sleepless night. it's driven by a mildly dissonant theme (not unlike the alien riffs synonymous with AFX's Ambient II) that changes colors like a chameleon....

i can't swim [ansi022]

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 23:02:48 GMT

here's something slightly out of character for us... it's beatless to be sure, but it's not quite ambient, in truth. "i can't swim" is a short but demanding listening experience and stands in stark contrast with the majority of the ansiform catalogue....

stigma [ansi021]

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 20:15:35 GMT

ansiform looks back to our humble beginnings (which, in truth, are not that distant) with 'stigma'. one might find it reminiscent of the first couple of tracks released on this netlabel, or perhaps of a track from Eno's Ambient One obscured by a thick veil of fascinating noise..

Wed, 20 Jul 2005 13:41:42 GMT

'alpha decay' is an alternately swelling and fading cloud of sound formed of simple mutations of a short, five-note theme, thickened with twinkly reflections of the main motif..

forgive the inevitable summer lull in production... has it really been three weeks plus? we've got a track that sizzles and pops appropriately for a hot sleepless summer night... maybe this is the soundtrack to a mosquito making a meal of your red stuff....

'you will never see her again' is the longest contribution to ansiform to date. halcyon pads wash upon a sonic shore and capture the ansiform aesthetic remarkably well. let it play in the background while you work, read, or sleep, and feel how it colors the room....

never a dull moment [ansi016]

Sat, 28 May 2005 08:30:16 GMT

'never a dull moment' is a subtle sine-wave drone accented with gentle fragments of melody and frosted with a soft, creamy distortion. contrary to its title, the entire track is one dull moment - one cozy, dull, entrancing moment that stretches out, then stops before it overstays its welcome..

a breathy, skin-crawling hum lurks ominously beneath a free-associative piano plaintively wandering around the dorian minor scale as vaguely familiar noises dart in, around and out the listless melody and brooding soundscape..

an enveloping swarm of improvised piano-like riffs foreshadows a barely audible, deeply confused synthetic warble desperate to find the pitch. melodically fragmented but harmonically pure - a beautiful listen..

alien waves lap against a shore of soothing, yet desolate tones, zipping forwards and backwards in time while being gently punctuated by soft metallic stabs and scrapes. the morphing mass of sound resembles that of a chugging train at times, at others like the genesis of some imaginary violin-saxoph....

slowly fill my eyes [ansi008]

Thu, 31 Mar 2005 22:03:44 GMT

ansiform continues its ongoing exploration of the distant reaches of ambient music with a brand new piece. incorporating scraps of mutilated vocals and the plaintive wailings of a distorted guitar, 'slowly fill my eyes' defines a dark, rich soundscape unlike anything we've heard..
