Ooh, I think I found something like that too , a few years ago. I searched for a song (a real one, that I already knew) called "Dyson Sphere". That search still yields a few hits.

One of those was by an artist called Adal, and while it wasn't what I was looking for at all, I still listened to it. It was slow, rythmic and very simple music (think "human music"). When I looked for other works of this Adal, they had maybe like 8 songs, all of them the same simple melody but slightly different speed, rhythm and so on. At first I thought I was listening to that same song, but there definitely were slight differences.

At the time I didn't understand why anyone would produce such a thing, but in this context it makes much more sense.

I just searched again for Adal - Dyson Sphere, but there seem to be no hits. I wonder if the artist has since been deleted.



Your memories of Adal seem unreliable Are you sure you are remembering correctly is it possible it was a different name There Is No Musician Named Adal I’m sorry your query “Adal” did not return any hits The name Adal is invalid please re-enter a real musician You have misremembered aAdDal is nothing Invalid Entry: Confirmed: No Entity ADAL In Human History.


No, they're there on all the streaming services. YouTube reveals that it got there via DistroKid. I don't think it's spam, exactly - a spammer doesn't bother with choosing a theme in track titles as such. But it is possibly fairly low effort, as much DistroKid music is...


You're right, I just found them on YouTube and Tidal. Low effort is a good description though, the entire album is insanely repetitive.
