There’s Sound In The Clouds
This post has two purposes: to feature an amazing artist that I recently stumbled upon as well as a music-centric social network that I can’t believe I didn’t discover sooner.
First, the social network: SoundCloud.com
The idea is a mix of user contributed content sharing, like Flickr, and peer feedback like Facebook. The concept is great and the execution is really where this site shines. Check out the demo video:
And the music: Scrimshire
As in Adam Scrimshire. He’s basically a guy with a very eclectic and refined style of music that ranges from downtempo to chill, moody tracks that are so refined that I’d probably describe them as “compositions.”
Put them both together:
When The World Was Young (pt 1) by Scrimshire
By the way, if you’re an artist or just a fan who is interested in opening my ears to some new music, send it my way via the SoundCloud dropbox link in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Send me your track

their audio player is pretty nice!
I like that you can see the sound wave profile for each track.
I disabled this on the audio players that I embedded, but you can comment on specific parts of the song and those comments show up on the audio player. You can enable this feature by clicking on the speech bubble on the right sidebar of each audio player. Also, you can download the mp3 by clicking on the down arrow on the sidebar (when available).
Hey Sarmad,
thanks for this nice post, really appreciate the nice words!Look out for a major update in the coming weeks, lots of great new stuff to come.
