24/7 lo-fi furry beats to help you focus/relax/create
Here’s a slightly non-canon image to remind everyone about the focus music podcast CONELCAST, which I make myself under the name conelrad.
WHAT IS CONELCAST?
Conelcast is a podcast. Every other week, I (conelrad) release around 40 minutes of brand new original electronic focus/relaxation music, for free.
WHAT’S IT FOR?
Conelcast is to help you focus, relax and/or create. conelcast got started when I realised that many creative friends and listeners of my other music said that they would put my albums on a loop when drawing, writing, coding, or similar. They said that the music was great to help them get into the flow of creating, but that there just wasn't enough of it. So, I came up with conelcast.
HOW DOES IT HELP?
The tracks are always simple and catchy, but slowly grow and transform over their duration, providing enough background ambiance to help provide a gentle consistency and aid your focus but enough interest that the repetition doesn't frustrate or bore you. They never have jarring noises or distractions. conelcast is here to support you.
WHAT’S THE MUSIC LIKE?
My music has its own distinctive flavour and style, and I try not to ape other musicians directly. But it would be wrong to say that I have not been inspired by the music of Boards of Canada, Mogwai, Radiohead, Stars of the Lid, Aphex Twin, Autechre, and many other amazing artists.
HOW DO I GET IT?
You can either listen here on the web, or subscribe like with any other podcast by opening up your podcast app (Apple podcasts, Google podcasts, Overcast, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, whatever) and searching for conelcast (or for Apple Podcasts just click here).
IS IT ANY GOOD?
Yes.
YOU WOULD SAY THAT!
OK but there are also dozens of 5-star ratings on iTunes (aggregated with some great reviews on this site). So far, there are 38 full-length episodes available, plus 12 “blips” (short bonus episodes). So if you don’t like one, try another. There’s a good variety of styles.
I WANT TO SUPPORT THIS!
You can support conelcast by joining the conelrad patreon! You can find that right here. You get high-quality versions of every track (there are 38 tracks there already; hours and hours of music), with no intros, stings, or announcements. And you get to know that you’re helping to make conelcast happen.
Even if you don’t think this will help you, PLEASE REBLOG! Help creative people find this podcast :)
