Yes pleb you can write ambient music if there is a chord progression AT LEAST

>>74542672
express yourself as purely as possible, and drown in down in reverb, because no-one cares about you.

Get high with a friend or two and have a jam session.

Use quartal chords.

>use dreamy synths
>l a y e r i n g please
>don't forget panning. seems like everyone hates panning nowadays
>chords, not singulars
>>and hold those chords for as long as they need to be held
>only use the white keys unless you're brave enough to risk breaking the flow of the song
>turn that attack up, motherfucker
>turn that decay up, motherfucker
>turn that reverb up, motherfucker (but not too much; you don't want the song to sound like it's being played off in a distance)
>turn that delay up, motherfucker
>sing quietly and at an angle to the mic. don't sing directly into it.
>>vocally, maybe you should just try to imitate Grouper. she seems to have found a vocal formula that fits over virtually any ambient song at all. breathy falsetto is where it's at
>that's about it

Come on.
The bait couldn't have been any more blatant. He could've just written "GIVE ME NEGATIVE ATTENTION PLS," not that it would matter because you probably would've replied to it anyway.
