What is "Chillwave" Music?

Stumbleine is a musical artist classified as being part of the "chillwave movement." A genre of music that is fairly new to artists because of advances with music editing software that makes it easier to make these kind of sounds. Sounds that gives you the "chills" while you ride on a mystical "wave" on a 1,000 year old sea turtle and his 100,000 year old father next to his immortal unicorn mother as the sun sets far off in uncharted territory. That's probably the best way to describe this genre. A very distinct genre. It's now easy for listeners to also distinguish between psychedelic and chillwave music because of this huge advance in music.

The main reason I'm blogging about this artist is they've done interesting things that I've never seen done before. One was that she came out with a "mixtapes" album that featured only three songs, but ended up being an hour long total. That's almost 20 minutes per song. Very interesting the way they were all put together. It was her remixes on about 12 songs, times three and thrown together on an album. Pretty original if you ask me.

The second thing is that if you buy or download an album of hers online, which is the only place you can do it, each song comes with its own album cover that is a piece of her artwork that follows the mood and story of each song.

Most of her music is free or very cheap to purchase, so I would defiantly recommend this artist to a friend. ENJOY :D

Here are two links to her music if you would like a listen:

  1. As i listened to this... very good by the way, i got the vibe that i was "chilling" upon a giant 18 foot tiger as we rode on the aurora "waves" of the night sky to an imaginative land of roaming mountain ranges, giant flowers, and an island of a thousand dreams that floated above the water as it basked in the crystal rays of the sapphire sun. There i grasped hands with the giant tiger as he took me into a even further world beyond this magical land where all reality is bent and yet seemed so much more clear and vivid then what we perceive in our lives on earth. As i closed my eyes in this distant illusion i was brought into a stage of wonder and discovery where my senses pulsed in such a satisfying way, everything felt soft like the clouds over the evening ocean, i could see the universe in the palm of my hands, i could smell the pureness of the air, and could taste the crisp innovation that created this foreign feeling in the depths of my mind. I felt so far from home yet inside my home at the same time. Once i finally understood all the truth to mankind's lies i was pulled by the tiger back to reality where all my discoveries were placed into memory and then repressed to dreams, where i would again rejoice with the tiger.. dibs on that for a film idea by the way.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
