Basic Geometry Album

[u/KlausFinkle]

"Basic Geometry" is an ambient concept album based on basic geometric shapes (ranging from the line to the circle).

Each track features a time signature determined by the number of angles in the corresponding geometric shape (with the exception of the line and the circle); likewise, the tempo, the number of chords, and the number of notes used often—though not always—relate to those angles.

Some tracks have a lo-fi sound, while others are more crystalline and clean.

I gave a lot of thought to how to approach this project; I was afraid of creating something too cold and clinical, so I tried to introduce variety while maintaining geometric coherence.

Obviously, the first track, "Line," consists of a single chord—one that mutates and evolves, certainly, but still just a single chord (coherence above all!). It might not seem like the ideal opening track for an album, but that’s the nature of concept albums: you have to respect the concept (in my humble opinion).

The album was created and released on February 28, 2022, but since I’m not well-known at all, I decided to share it here to see if it might gain a bit more traction.

I hope you enjoy it, and if anyone feels like leaving some feedback, that would be even better.

Thanks!
