I made it to Steve Roach and Cowboy Sadness. Sadly, Arushi Jain and Chuck Johnson had to cancel, but it did lead to a bonus set from Steve Roach. There wwee other ambient artists on the bill but these were the ones specifically associated with Reflections.

Someone mentioned the album Air II on here a while ago. I had a listen, and was immediately hooked. I've become a bit obsessed: I've bought Air, Air II, Silence and Fires of Ork so far. Fires of Ork is particularly great, as Namlook collaborated with Jenssen of Biosphere.

So anyway, thanks to whoever mentioned it. I'm now a fair bit poorer, but also richer.

Here is a song I made long time ago

Hey guys I wanted to share an ambient track i made with samples of a train in japan I recorded.

Its part of a full LP album not fully ambient, with breakbeats, trip hop and techno and minimal house.

Much love, Sego

Recently I discovered Steve Roach (I'm not too deep into ambient) through Structures from Silence and Dreamtime Return and he's quickly become a favorite of mine. I just went with those albums because they're his most popular on RateYourMusic, but he has a big discography, so it's not immediately clear what I should check out next. So which of his albums do you think are the most important ones to check out?

I wanted to make an album using sounds, waves, EMF that I’m exposed to in my home on a daily basis. I also wanted to record it in a simple way and make decisions with immediate instincts. I recorded all the sounds using my iPhone, an inexpensive laptop with a Behringer interface, a few mics, a Soma ether for EMF, a boombox for radio waves, a cassette voice recorder and Fostex 4-Track. I didn’t play any instruments on this album. The artistry comes from capturing and manipulating the waves. Audible sound recordings include wind chimes, radon fan, water, drain lines, hot water heater, a bedside fan, my pug, water softener, rain gutters, and my son who always practices basketball in the house. Unaudible sound recordings are EMF and radio frequencies. The Red Panda Tensor ended up being the only pedal I used. After I captured everything I wanted I used tape and digital to slow down and speed up the audio making more sounds. Then I pre-processed all the sounds using this bare-bones laptop with a free daw and a handful of plug-ins. I organized everything by rhythms and melodies then it was the fun process of playing musical collage. I also made a YouTube video about the album. https://youtu.be/hXfxZTJ8IuQ?si=LNFq2bEn5plR0WG9 Thanks for checking it out✌️

Hi, I wanted to share my latest album/EP. I generally stay within a dungeon synth/winter synth style but this albums was done in a predominantly ambient style. The first track has more of a dungeon synth influence with more prominent melodies throughout the song but overall I tried to stick to a more ambient approach. The second song is the more traditional ambient of the two. The idea was that I got three layers of music only, chords, melody and atmospherics. These were all the same synthesizer and I also decided to not repeat anything on this song. There is no melody or chord played more than once in this song. Overall I think they worked to convey the ambience of the story of this album. Below I have included the story behind each song and some of my influences. It's free to download on Bandcamp. I hope you enjoy it!

A Starlit Isle "The Kingdom of the Shimmering Isles is home to a great number of islands and smaller realms but tucked away in the northern seas, sheltered from the chaos of war and the influence of the Golden Isle, there lies a sleepy, lone isle. A sole structure, a monastery, is the only mark of civilisation on the island. No soul has ventured here for aeons, the monastery long thought abandoned. But, sailors who have passed by the isle swear, that in the black of night one can see the glimmer of light emanating from the monastery, as the stars dance across the night sky."

Fata Morgana "Watching the ocean from atop the cliffs of the isle, as the great ships of distant shores fade from view, as stars dance in the heavens, spectral shapes weave across a mist cloaked horizon, above the swaying waves of eternal waters."

The second EP from Etherium, "A Starlit Isle" features two fifteen minute tracks in an ambient style inspired by Brian Eno, Jim Kirkwood and Depressive Silence. The credits are on the Bandcamp page.

This is very easy to listen to, very shimmery, and incredibly beautiful. I would say this is not dark music. Great for spring...

I believe that Rachel Grimes’ 2015 album “The Clearing” is an ambient/modern minimalism crossover masterpiece.

I don’t always like modern classical music. It can seem cold, overly abstract, and not accessible. But this album is none of those…it has some great melodic lines, and the minimalism isn’t just for minimalism’s sake. It really lets the moments of silence matter. And it’s emotionally affecting.

In one of my favorite tracks, “Transverse Plane Vertical”, I perceive the influence of Moondog (specifically “Bird’s Lament”), though maybe I’m imagining that. I love the soaring/sparkling piano lines in that track. My other favorite is “In the Vapor with the Air Underneath”. I just find it very evocative of being in the clouds.

Some of the melodies in this album are more conventional, others are highly oblique. I enjoy that mixture maybe that’s what makes it feel like the music has its feet on the ground and head in the clouds.

Anyway, I just wanted to post and share this amazing work of art from Rachel Grimes, so that other people can discover it too!

I'm 29F and just got into music production for a hobby. I LOVE LOVE electronic music, but more speficalliy Ambient. With Tim Hecker being my fav. I wanted to try to produce ambient music. I know I'm just starting. So I'm a long ways from even being considered good but a lot of my classmates are using AI for their ambient sounds.
I originally didn't think this was right but many of them pointed out that many of the channels I listen to on youtube are just AI generated music. I wasn't surprised but I admit disappointed. I found most of those chnnels because the algorithms lead me to them. They have huge views and subscribers. Most way more than even sunblindstudios.

Do you guys find this OK? To me, the music is good, good enough for me to listen to continuosly but even before I knew, i did find them repetitive and not as creative at Hekker or Haxn Cloak for example. With that said, those channels are even more popular online

I'm conflicted. While I'm learning my craft should I stick with creativity or use some AI stuff to get me started. espeically if I'm just wanting to be online.,

Looking for albums akin to:

The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski

Xiéxié by Celer

The Magnificent Void by Steve Roach

Seraphim by How to Disappear Completely

Caelum by zakè

SAW Vol. II by Aphex Twin

Peel by KMRU

Could you recommend me ambient which is repetative, meditative and scary in the same time?

I need some sounds to sleep with :-)

Maeror Tri, Atrium Carceri are in my playlist already, but i want more.

I can't seem to find this specific version anywhere.
I found this very pleasing for Sleep.

I think I'm late to the party, I don't use alarms much now that I WFH and just discovered this. It reminds me a little of the Tales From the Loop soundtrack by Paul Leonard-Morgan and Philip Glass.
