mini life

Oliver Lyu

Written in December 2025, mini life is a bed of ambient tracks built around the idea of texture as landscape. Organic sounds are stretched and warped by time until they lose their origin; familiar but displaced, intimate but distant. The result is a series of small, off-kilter worlds that feel like they exist just slightly outside of regular time, taking you somewhere else entirely. It features 10+ minute looped ambient tracks and intimate piano moments.

Creating this album allowed me to go more experimental than I usually would. The album was made with mindfulness and well being in mind. My favourite track is 'some sort of good' I originally performed it in standard tuning, but decided to time stretch it down to a non standard key - it just felt warmer and slightly off balance.
