ooh thanks i took a quick listen and they sound interesting!! im relatively new to the “wind howling through a shipping container” corner of soundspace but here are some other songs i have liked in this general area:
This is a song that I have had on repeat all week. It's about 11 minutes long. I have a thing for ambient, dreamy-like music because it helps me concentrate, think, or just daydream. My love of ambient music started in the 12th grade, when I would listen to lo-fi girl on YouTube while doing work in class to help me concentrate, and I ended up going down a rabbit hole of lyrical and lo-fi rap artists. In the past few years, thanks to a Team Fortress 2 Death run map (deathrun_neonoir_impossible), I have developed an obsession with ambient and retro-synth music (if you are unfamiliar with retro-synth, it has a similar aesthetic and sound as vaporwave-- think, Home by Resonance).
For some reason the artist Cy Twombly has been on my mind. For a long time, he was like the Dark Horse of the Abstract Expressionists; there appears to be a big revival going on, though, & his paintings have been going for millions. I see him in many ways as the figure behind the contemporary Asemic movement (if not Henri Michaux), which is well-represented on Facebook too. My idea is that the Intimate has taken the place of the Authentic in our discourse, the Authentic having proved too problematic to sustain. Twombly's epic historical paintings are like doodles in the margin of a history textbook. Even Malaparte figures into this: while i can doubt that, say, a bunch of wild horses were actually chased into the river by fire, where they immediately froze solid & remained there, standing up, all winter long, this is like a tall tale emblematic of the surrealism of war. His experiences all occur on the immediate level--he has often been caught in combat, & can reel off the names of battlefields, but what he shows are things like breaking into an abandoned farmhouse to sleep for once in a bed, & his whole narrative might be described as one long series of bad smells...
"He is best known for his dislike of the letter R [the 'littera canina']. The letter does not appear in any of his 130 poems. He is even said to have eliminated it from his daily speech, refusing to say his last name for over seventeen years."
