netbornmusic - underground music of new age

music description

Genre: call this music "post" New age, though many wouldn't agree and would say it's very far from new age music. Sure, but it seems that new age music is the most eclectic and diverse of all modern music genres, and at the same time it's often very elegant - that's what "netbornmusic" shares with new age music. But in contrast to the most of new age music "netbornmusic" is not at all easy listening.
It is very unusually sounding new music.

Sounds like: When first hearing this music, people often say something like - "I never heard anything like this!"
Imagine Miles Davis and Aphex Twin playing together the music, that some German or French romantic 19th century composer wrote specially for them. Or IDM or avant-garde techno group like Autechre playing jazz version of some Vangelis-like theme.
One can recognize elements of jazz, classical, IDM, techno and other music styles and genres in "netbornmusic". It's inspired by a wide variety of great composers and musicians:
- classical composers - Brahms, Mahler, Bach
- jazz - Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny
- IDM - Autechre, Aphex Twin
- new age - Andreas Vollenweider, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis
...and a lot of others, like Brian Eno, Frank Zappa, Bjork, The Residents, Philip Glass, The Orb, and many more.
          BUT
"netbornmusic" is in no way just a mosaic of incompatible music fragments, it has its own unique style.

Goal: "netbornmusic" has the only ultimate goal - to express and excite quite complex and not so typical emotions, rare emotional states that could hardly be described in words.
None of the arts except music is able to do this. "netbornmusic" do not use words as they only disturb the purity of emotions, generalize them to much more simple feelings. Process of listening to this music can be almost like a meditation, not that common notion of meditation as relaxation and something that improves your sleep, but meditation as discovering of totally new images and feelings. But this requires from the listener at least some attention and at best also free mind and no prejustice.

Quest: "netbornmusic" is a constant quest for new emotions. That's why all compositions are so different, none of them sounds like any other. This doesn't have much in common with experimental music, these compositions are not experiments of any kind. None of the compositions were made with the purpose to sound special or unusual, and "netbornmusic" is too eclectic and "non-conceptual" to fit into the field of modern experimental music. Obviously, it doesn't fit into any of "popular" fields also. It is just true underground music.

MP3S: for sure, the music itself will say much more than any of the words about it, so here you can download mp3s of ALL compositions, or stream them in hi-fi (128 kbps mp3s) or in lo-fi (real audio).
