Interview with dxstroyed

Hello all readers of Ø of ambient! Please welcome our first guest, musician from Belarus : DXSTROYED. What is your past?  2.6 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms last year. My absolute record! I had listeners from all over the world. I started producing when I was 12, taking main inspiration from rap music and its versatility. While aging, I felt more drawn to ambient music emotionally. What is your present? I am 19 years old and I live in Belarus. I love nature, especially lakes, forests and foggy winter mornings which I feel very deeply attached to and try to convey into my production.  I hope you can sense this calmness, balance and space.  On a personal level, one of my proudest achievements is knowing that my mum genuinely enjoys my music and listens to it daily, which gives my work deeper meaning beyond numbers. What is your future? I love collabs. I hope to be doing much more of them this year.  I will continue exploring different paths within amb...

What is Yellow Ambient ?

When I hear music, I see colours. So I classify ambient music following my intuition and feeling.  Yellow Ambient has a calm, autumn and childish vibe. It’s the most cheerful ambient type. It uses organical sounds such as singing birds, falling leaves or laughing people.  This ambient reminiscences me of my childhood memories and moments.  It connects with sunny days at the playground, fields to run into or paintings of women and men. Heres the link to my yellow ambient playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0oQtNRlfEenIjO6HhWuThP?si=cA5lPCPjQhqUlLVNbflCfA&pi=cHwQgJqxTDmKE Other ambient colours will follow soon !

What does Ø mean? And why so many musicians use it for style.

 I can see four reasons for this : Ø (as well as Å or Æ) looks so freezingly Scandinavian that your random .mp3 instantly looses at least 10 degrees C° and feels lonelier and fancier. Ø means island. Yep. Lonely and fjordy again. Ø also means zero which leads us to subzero sublime æsthetic. Ø   = half diminished chord. Gloomy and melancholic.
