Hello friends! Something a little bit different for you tonight - this is a Mallsoft album I put together and released recently that I wanted to share with everyone. It's a bit of an ambient one - I wanted to construct something quite slow and methodical to fit the mood of the mall I visited when putting together the various inspirations for the record. I tried to create the experience of the music being played through speakers across the mall or from a nearby shop front as you walk through and take in the atmosphere. I think my personal favourites were tracks 3 and 4, Geometric Topiary and Deals 4 U, but let me know which are your favourites, I'd love to hear your thoughts! ...and if this isn't your thing, don't worry - there's a new mix coming on Monday as usual which I'm sure will be to everyones tastes, so keep an eye out for that! Thanks for listening everyone, have a great weekend x
This is the way! Immerse yourself in the ambience of the Red Gem Mall and s h o p. Glad you're digging it friend, thank you so much for checking it out! :)
Gorgeously nostalgic and comforting. The View From The Fountain had *perfect* sound-sculpting, or whatever word applies to conveying the size and shape of a room through the volume and echoes of the music. Instantly brought me back in time to the central fountain at Oakland Mall in Michigan, the most magical place on Earth for me back then. [chef's kiss]
That means the WORLD to hear, thank you so much for those super kind words! You've caught the exact thing I was hoping to achieve with that track - I recorded a mall fountain in person for the background ambience and felt like the music really complimented it. The whole album was really trying to capture that the music was coming from the mall as opposed to being on top of the mall sounds, as if it were playing from a stores PA or similar, so it means so much that someone's picked up on that and has reacted to it in that way, thank you so, so much friend, I'm super glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@brutalwares Thanks for making it! And I give a nod of approval for going out and recording a real live mall fountain in person. No wonder it sounded exactly like the one I remember!
TGI Fridays is not what I expected to see at The Red Gem mall. But it'll work for lunch. Gonna grab some food on the patio, people watch and relax to this soundtrack.
Haha good spot! Sometimes you've just gotta roll with what you can find when it comes to taking these photos. It comes with a beautiful view into the palm-laden foyer at least! Thank you for listening friend, really appreciate it :)
Place is absolutely beautiful! I only visited for the first time the other week but I'd been wanting to take a look for ages, you guys have an absolute gem right there. That central foyer that houses Selfridges is something else!
Omg the Sonic Mega Collection menus sampling at 10:19 and 26:33 hit me with nostalgia like the food critic in Ratatouille! You made me want to go to this mall.
I love that someone picked up on that! Very nostalgic game for me, filled with even more nostalgic games inside :) I visited this particular mall myself for the first time not long before I put the album together, the place is b e a u t i f u l, I've never seen anything quite like it before! Thank you so much for listening friend, that really means a lot! :)

Here's to wishing my daydream is in a mall like this
Word, I've been daydreaming about it since I visited, place is so surreal!

most ornate mall
in all mallsoft
We don't do things by half measures here at the Red Gem Mall, only the fanciest for our shoppers!

This mall died in 2023. "The Trafford Centre Is Closing Down After 25 Years To Be Transformed Into New Apartments"
That's weird, I visited it a few weeks ago and it was very much still a shopping centre! (That's when this picture was taken)
@@brutalwares ah good news then, the article made it seem like it closed down last year 😅
