My album Coming of Age, a soundtrack for a fictional coming-of-age movie, is 3 years old today! One of my favorite releases to-date, it's 40 minutes of instrumental music laced with nostalgia & covering themes of loneliness, angst, and finding yourself. Free Downloads in the thread!

Album Cover for Ed Herbers' album Coming of Age. Features a twilight photo of the New York city skyline (specifically Hudson Yards facing West). There are several large skyscrapers on the left that are brightly illuminated against the dark sky. The horizon is red and orange from the sunset. The text "Ed Herbers Coming of Age" is in the top-right corner of the image

When you hear your 2 year old say "look daddy!" and turn around to find they've unspooled all the tape from a cassette

This is a terrific album and you should definitely grab one of these codes!

Hard to believe this album is two years old. I still love #mushrooms and #space. I still love Christmas lights. To celebrate - here are some Bandcamp codes. sxzw-yv3m s4tq-u9d6 psn6-e9xy kj2j-wtjp ugx8-cb92 vtct-wc6h fzj3-hw8v l3gw-vw39 evk4-ksdz gfyj-g4wg onidyl.bandcamp.com/album/mycorr...

Today's #SummerSunday tune is "Looking Glass Rock," which features a soundscape meant to emulate North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest. The sound of robins and the wind in the trees swirl with ambient pads and create a serene scene. youtu.be/Y9C_8aG7Kis

Look! Rad photos from @herbersmusic.bsky.social The art for this was a simple bash of these two images Ed took. Zero extra digital painting on these. Purely made from a few layers of these photos and the incorporation of my usual foxed/oxidized paper feel. imrryr.bandcamp.com/album/homeward

I had the honor of collaborating with @imrryr.com on a new 3 song (40 minute!) split, titled Homeward. Put together in record time--I am thrilled with how it turned out!

Imrryr@imrryr.com · 2w ago

Surprise split with @imrryr.com out today! This is the fastest turnaround time I've ever had for a music project. Imrryr asked if I was interested in collaborating last Thursday, and the whole thing was finished by Sunday. And now you get to enjoy it! 40 minutes of immersive ambient music!

Me and @herbersmusic.bsky.social made a split. ( see what I was doing there ) Arts a collab too of me using his photography. It’s ripper technical death metal. Riffs for days. I swear. ampwall.com/a/imrryr/alb... imrryr.bandcamp.com/album/homeward

Look: stories are everything. EVERYTHING. They are the cognitive framework of our personal reality AND societal reality. We need to tell ourselves, and each other, different stories if we want to change the world. Left vs Right is a story that doesn’t serve us well. Its time to let that one go.

Trevlad@trevlad.bsky.social · 3w ago

Pleased as punch to be part of Trev's latest mixtape! As always, these are a great set of ambient and electronic music that's perfect for chilling out

A gentle, introspective ambient journey through awareness, weightlessness, storms, and quiet reflection. Contemplative, tender, and atmospheric — balancing soft intimacy with moments of intensity. Ideal for deep listening, meditation, or peaceful solitude.

The Onion @theonion.com · 3w ago

While out for a walk this evening, a car drove by in which the driver, an older man, was playing the trumpet WHILE DRIVING. He was clearly playing along with whatever was blasting out of the stereo and it looked like he was having a great time. Surreal!

youtu.be/E02p5X4xrik I just found this cover of Beirut's "Postcards from Italy" that I recorded 14 years ago and forgot about. It's a fun, dancey reimagining of the song (but retains some key Beirut elements like accordion & piano). Also a rare "Ed sings" appearance. Enjoy!

Hope you have had a lovely #SummerSunday! This song was originally written for the @citiesandmemory.bsky.social Autumn Project. Using a field recording from Italy, it depicts early morning in a foreign city with the quiet sounds of people living lives so similar-yet-different from your own.

Morning, Far From Home by Ed Herbers, peaceful and serene. www.youtube.com/watch?v=31ao...

#nowplaying: Apollo 18 by They Might Be Giants (@tmbg.bsky.social). Specifically, the 2022 picture disc reissue, which features a zoetrope on the b-side!

Been a while since I shared a #nowplaying. Today, it's Beirut's "Hadsel," a surprisingly mellow album that prominently features an old church organ. Much more laid back than other Beirut stuff, and it works!

Finished off another ‘remix’ for a pal last night. For the first time I went into it with confidence that doing it in my style was ok. The confidence faltered half way and I did have a “oh shit I’m ruing this persons pretty music” moment but I came out the other side. lol.
