Patricia Taxxon - Task [Full Album] 

Thank you. I'm a struggling trans youth. I have to go to church tomorrow and it's caused me to have a panic attack because there is no community for me in that church. After all, I'm Queer and Trans in the middle of the deep south. I thought I should just try praying the Trans and gay away again then join the church so I have to be Cis Straight but seeing you out and proud with a successful career makes me hope for my future.

I like how this album isn't afraid to be really, really quiet. volume is a tool too!

Twist and Patricia, two of my favorite artists together?? Heck. Yes.

Whenever I listen to this and really focus on it, I feel like I'm getting in the headspace of Toby while he builds his doohickey. Pure unrestrained focus.

I have finally been able to summarize my thoughts, this is lovely, these are my new favorite tunes that I listen to while I work. They are very quiet and energizing. :3 When I visualize this album in my funny neurodivergent animator brain kinda sounds like music from the northern lights, music from an intense drawing session, or music from an echoing cave. Thank you for giving me these experiences! :D

As simple as it is, I really like the editing of this video. I really feel like it encapsulates the feeling of physical work. When you start, all of the little physical sensations can seem enormous - thus, the beaver is framed completely, a focus on the human (or animal, in this case) experience of doing physical labor (whether it is gratifying or tedious could go either way - the physicality of the self is my main point here). But as the video goes on, steadily you get more and more sucked into your work. "You" as a physical body begin to melt away from your perception, as the task before you becomes your whole world, and "you" merely become a vector to completing the task ahead of you. A set of hands, an almost invisible force constructing the life that the projecting is taking on, the machine the beaver is working on takes up more and more of the frame. Then, when your work is complete, you can just sit back and look at it. That's it, you did it, and there it is. I think what you've just accomplished takes up your whole world as well, but in a different sense. It's a feeling of stepping back, and, for better or for worse, taking it all in. Whether hollow, relieving, or gratifying, the weight taken off your shoulders makes you feel almost dreamlike sometimes. Floaty. It leaves you in that quiet contemplation now that your hands aren't busy. You reflect. I think the music reflects that too, and I think that's super neat. (Oh, and I forgot to mention, but I also also like how slow upward pan is to begin with. It's the sensation of watching a kettle boil. If you aren't paying attention, you've suddenly skipped ahead in the video's progression, but if you are, you can't even tell it's moving, which is another clever metaphor, I think.)

Let’s go twist art we love to see it ❤️

As a person who wants to study stars, this is exactly how I want to describe its beauty to others

This album really messed with my sense of time listening to it. I think this is the first drone piece I've ever heard? Really engrossing stuff, thank you!

Art by twist and it's a great ambient drone album? You're knocking it out of the park

This whole album but especially "Focus, Beaver!" sounds like that one scene in spongebob where squidward is trapped in an infinite white expanse

Thank you patty for making me second guess my ears at the start of this one lol

Oh wow this is well tuned for the successful braining of a long term task. Given that I use low volume music to fill a small void in my brain that otherwise makes focusing on tasks unnecessarily hard this feels like an oddly specific gift towards that end.

I have been listening for two minutes, you have perfectly portrayed what tinnitus feels like.

Very chill. Also that lil beaver in the album art is so cute! I hope whatever task he’s doing is going well.

This album reminds me of the first time I heard psy goa trance. It's like a movement of sound without shape or form, just tumbling over your ears in a constant rolling smooth roundness and deepness.

I see new Taxxon music I leave a like The cycle is now complete

been really appreciating this as my work music, its so soft and delicate. The hum of my computer, the quiet, intospective drone and texture, it brings into focus the meditative nature working with technology and computers can have. Honestly, it gives me such pleasant little chills as new touches and tickles stand out. Thank you.

I keep coming back to this album again and again. It makes me feel like I'm floating in between everything

I like this meditative ambient style. Great use of soft dynamics, wide pitch range, and "breathing rhythm." This is a very calming album.

Absolutely lush! Was this inspired by that Sachiko M album Good Morning Good Night? Either way, really wonderful to hear your take on lowercase and drone!! The pacing is super satisfying!

what a quaint little contraption that beaver is working on so diligently.

Omg industrial music, but its soft? Love it.

I love how track 3 incorporates really bright brassy saw waves that decorate the environment

This is really cool, it's not really something that I would normally listen to but for some reason this is really doing it for me. I think I've seen others comment this on other albums/tracks of yours but so far this is really tickling my brain in a way that is surprisingly similar to ASMR. The way the sounds move from ear to ear, the way they gently fade in and out; approaching and retreating. The way it changes texture and pitch, it is all very reminiscent of ASMR to me and it totally hits that button in a new and interesting way. Very surprised I like this!

I have tinitus so the opening threw me for a loop lol

Times are tough, my ears are bleeding, thank you ms taxonomy

hello found you through one of ChipFlake’s live-stream few months ago, so far i’ve been enjoying watching ur content & listening to ur musics, keep up the great work! 👍

Rlly peaceful sounding love it

Hey I'm actually about to start writing again, I've been putting it off for months and dreading every second but I have to keep going at it. Think this soundscape will help! Thanks.

babe wake up, new Patricia Taxxon album dropped

i use task constantly thank you so very much. nothing works quite like this album to make me actually do things

Art is experience with emotion. It's been a couple of years since music has brought tears to my eyes. This did that. I'm afraid I had to stop listening, since the emotion this evoked was too powerful. At 9:19 I experienced a panic attack that I could stop at the press of a button. The ringing, the racing, the ticking clock. Every sound, every micro-agression, every shadow. With a tap, no with *my* tap. Silence. Safety. Control over myself again. And then tears.

I KNEW I recognized Twist's art!

Wow. Not what I expected from Patty, but I am nevertheless impressed. I love how the track titles contrast with the complete ambience of this album. Not a single rhythm in here unless you count the clicking sometimes. This is the first album to have been released since I found you, too, so I made sure to give it my undivided attention for my first listen, and I am so glad I did. This was really serene to listen to in the dark.

Absolutely stunning. Wow.

i dont even, like, what is this? i dont understand it, but its something that i feel is so intrinsic to me. why does it make me want to cry?

I like minimalism and i rly like beavers so this is my fave of ur albums so far

I forgot I opened this tab and it played in the background for 1 minute before I noticed a weird sound, and 3 minutes before I figured out what it was.

PAT TAXX AT IT AGAIN

les go new patty taxxon album

I loooooooove this one already and the album art is super cool too! :D

around 18:45 i became unsure if what i was hearing was the song or just my ears ringing. 10/10

LET’S FUCKING GOOOO

Babe, wake up. New Patty

Very appreciative to have this ambient work.

I needed this right now. thank you x

certified dog music moment

This ticuls my brain

Thank you Patty, this is a great album, and I have no doubt in my mind that this wont be the last time im here

Holy mole, my time shall be readily devoted to this piece of art now.

LESGOOOO NEW PATTY TAXXON ALBUM!!! :DDDDDD luv it!!!

Absolutely blissful

that final part was crazy it felt like the guitar was like auroras in these like fjords and stuff I was inside a cloud megastructure at the end my imagination went wild

forgot this was in the background a bunch of times and thought I was ascending

listened to this one with my discord wife, we found this to be an ethereal experience my beaver friend doesn't like this as much though

NEW ALBUM FROM FAVORITE SOUND MAKER LETS GOOOO

This album is incredibly relaxing, I'm glad it exists :)

VERY CALMING MUSIC. the style of sound I always wanted

This gives me all the energy and headspace I need to get going on my silly little tasks (haha) - something about the latter half feels to me like finishing a good puzzle, harmonic and soothing but also very natural and unobstrusive in that flow state of mental exertion, so suddenly pouring my concentration into a difficult piece of work feels like I'm curled up with a sudoku or something.

I really liked this one. It managed to replicate mechanical, electrical, and background sounds pretty well and use it for ambience and details. I really liked the wind you could hear in "Good Job, Beaver!". It does feel like music playing when you work on a task. That album art is pretty nice. I like that beaver. I take issue with "Focus, Beaver!". It feels very out of place with the album cover and the rest of the music. It sounds great, but it's way too grand and spacey. It could have been on something else.

at first i really thought my tinnitus was acting up

diving into the threshold of audibility. monumental sine waves

Great work!

Very cool thank you

this was helpful. thank you

15 minutes went by and i thought the first minute didn't even go by

I love reading the comments on this channel videos

DUDE NO WAY PATRICIA TAXXON MY FAVOURITE AUDIO

Why does this album make me miss summer

This is uh definitely something I don't know what but it's something

YESS

So…I wonder if Christtt and Patty will ever collab-this album’s got a very “new wounds” vibe to it

The cure to my adhd ❤❤❤❤

let's goooo

Started playing TF2 in the background, while listening. Probably an interesting way to experience it if you can't afford a sensory deprivation chamber or other chill setting to just hear everything.

i really just wanna be floating in a white void, with this album in repeat... idk why lol

massive

Hm just realized this sounds like a puzzle game ost

very nice

I do not know what this is but I started listening and I don't want it to stop even though it's 8am on a sunday and I could go back to bed

Sucks I don't have a long quiet moment to listen to it fully right now :(( probably won't have a lot of quiet free hours in the near future either...

Omg the titles are rly cute

Love a good hard working beaver

Yes

wooob

Man! Going from Visiting Narcissa to this is like night and day. Not in the quality sense of course, just saying there is some real versatility being shown if you know what I mean.

إييييي جوهة أخرى في قائمتك ("♡♡♡♡♡♡

NEW PATRICCIA

Yoooo!!!

This is a great album to stimulate your prostate to

i'm gonna go ahead and say "rain world" and then take my leave

NEW ALBUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The thing in the album cover looks like the Fortnite storm generator

Patricia Twist, scientist‽

theres construction work near my house and i thought some of the construction sounds were part of the song at first

lil beaver guy

Hmm, interesting album, reminds me of some of those "ambient study music vibe to relax to" videos you find on RU-vid. I wonder if this is supposed to be a pastiche of those? Or is it just ambient music without any commentary to those videos or the sentiment that those videos promote.

Oh shit? New album?

im generally not a fan of drone music but this is cool
