/ambient/ - Ambient General

You guys need to stop trying to make ambient /mu/ core.

It's supermarket music for autists.

>>74596007

Great album, used to listen to it every night before going to sleep.

>>74596149


It's a grower. I think it takes a couple listens to really click.

My "to listen" list just got longer.

>>74596488
my favorite on the list is probably Gavin Bryars. I know a lot of people find that record to be tacky, but it's among the few songs to get me emotional

This album is beautiful

Oddly specific request. But I like how in the Ambient album Deep Frieze - SleepResearch Facility there is weird destorted walkie talkie chatter. Anything else like this?

Everything that Kid koala has put out has been amazing. this is his most ambient album, although his early stuff with turntablism is sweet.

You clicked the wrong file. Here I'll just fix it for you

can someone rec me some /warmambientdrones/? something like stars of the lid but a little bit more organic and noisier

>>74597007
>ooh 9/11 ;(
infinitely more pretentious than this >>74596891

does anyone remember, around the release of death grips' NLDW, there was some meme dark ambient album people thought could be connected with the ARG in some way. It had three tracks, and the last one was just a fake radio broadcast of a warning system talking about nuclear strikes imminent. That same guy put out a couple more albums shortly after that I didn't listen to IIRC.
can anyone recall what that album was called?

Rameses III - I Could not love your more

even though SAW 85-92 isn't exactly ambient, I"m wondering if you guys know any great albums that are similar to it.

also are there any ambient albums similar to Substrata and 76:14

>>74597063
i already love belong, their Colourloss EP is fucking insane.
do you know more projects like them? i already know semi-popular stuff like infinite body
>>74597069
thanks lad

What are your favorite instruments in ambient music?
I'm a sucker for deep bassy brass drones from euphoniums or trombones or the like. Low strings as well.

>>74597154
besides Jefre Cantu-ledesma? maybe this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYhXa3FLdQc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsDepTuPReg
or Motion Sickness of Time Travel, though I've only heard their S/t

>>74596836
Literally listen to Stealth by SleepResearch_Facility. It is exactly what you want.

>>74597727

Thank you.

>Ekkehard Ehlers - Plays John Cassavetes

jacking the beatles into a shitty loop, feels like getting coldplay injected into your veins. ugh

>>74599279
>listening to the beatles in the first place
shiggy

>>74599279

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

>>74597727

Omg this is wonderful. I wish this guy would put out more.

>>74596121
>It's supermarket music for autists.
Surprised you didn't say it's music for housekeepers. Eh, getting creative?

>>74600003

Don't give him any credit.

>>74604760

That's his only true ambient album to be honest.

Black echo chamber.

why is so much dark ambient awful, psuedo-cavernistic, voice setting on a midi keyboard, self indulgent tinny sounding trash?

Any /powerambient/ fans here? Saw someone two threads back. I like varied and reasonably quickly progressing ambient thats meant to be listened to loud and that will engulf you in a cozy but massive wall of fuzzy sounds.

This album is criminally underrated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzDzGNUMMwU

I also rec Tim Heckers later works, Roly Porter, Paul Jebanasam, Lawrence English (Wilderness of Mirrors or Cruel Optimism), Ben Frost (new album should be good judging from the new EP), Jacaszek, machinefabriek, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Witxes (Sorcery/Geography), Black to Comm (Alphabet 1968), Yellow Swans etc. Any recs in return?

>aotys 2017 in pic related. Pretty much all ambient

>>74596449
Jesus Christ thanks for this.
That second Cassavetes track destroyed me.
I love you.

>>74606669
Do you have a link for this ? I can't instlal soulseek atm and it's not in the archives.

>>74608386

You must not have heard SleepResearch_Facility

ban ambient from /mu/ pls

>>74607457
D|P 3 is God-tier

>>74608386
What I own from Celer is amazing, but there's so goddam much to go through. It's far beyond overwhelming.

>>74611988
Use a filter and stop memeing before asking to ban /ambient/

some variety, haven't seen soundtracks much on these threads
