Lonely Satellites By Alchemical 9

Alchemical 9 (A.K.A. Roland Barker) is an electronica artist from Kauai Hawaii. Unlike most artists featured in Audiosurfing, not all of Alchemical 9′s music is available for free, but an appreciable grip of sample songs — including the one featured below, “Lonely Satellites” — is available from his Opsound page.

Seeing In Purple By Macroform

Audiosurfing | Discuss

Macroform is an ambient electronic artist whose music can be a little tricky to find all in one place. The most comprehensive sources seem to be a page on OPSOUND and a Bandcamp website — complete with visualizers. I also came across what appears to be Macroform’s blog. The song featured below, Seeing In Purple, inspired me to do something a bit different with the video than I normally do; I hope you like it.

Macroform is an artist from the Troy, Ohio, USA. He is a musician, drummer, percussionist and computer musician, who also dabbles in guitar and piano and found sound in general to create sketches and compositions reflecting the worlds both internal and external. He draws from a broad range of musical influences from alt. rock to the net label scene at large. Many have found his music both cinematic and evocative. Delve in and find out how much your ears will find.
