I've started dipping my toes into what I guess is a kind of ambient music. I hope this is the right place to ask for other similar artists. I've been listening to what I might call heavy, or aggressive ambient. Specifically Alessandro Cortini and Hainbach. Can you folks recommend other stuff that might be similar? I've enjoyed Suzanne Ciani's Buchla performances, so a little less abrasive is fine, so long as it gets weird. Does that make sense? I'm working on my vocab, but remain largely uneducated in these areas.

At least people have been saying it's "Ambient, but not TOO ambient". I'm not really sure what you'd call it. A couple I have done recently. https://soundcloud.com/tom-pellegrino-146151417/waves There's a video for this one as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLTxqbt9HYY And the other one: https://soundcloud.com/tom-pellegrino-146151417/tempted-to-laugh

Hey thanks for listening! It's also one of my favorite albums of my own. I released "The Covid-19 Sessions" back in September and I am putting together a new one, which should be done by the Summer.

I'm working on my vocab, but remain largely uneducated in these areas. I checked those artists out, but their style did not immediately bring to mind someone. However, I'll recommend some stuff based on your description. First up is Tim Hecker. If his stuff fits the bill some of his contemporaries would be Fennesz, Blanck Mass and Oneohtrix Point Never but they veer more off into electronica, electro-industral and IDM respectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlfwZDR_1Hg You might want to check out some dark ambient. Lustmord is a good place to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt3_wiq8cvA Something less abrasive would maybe be Biosphere and Loscil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD_nvxZ0tEo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i-kIlgQfSk Lastly, Cortini does stuff with Nine Inch Nails, and they have a few albums that are pretty Ambient, most notably their Ghosts series; you should check that out if you have not already. thotsky fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Mar 22, 2021 |

It will definitely show up in my Release Radar :P I've been racking my brain on whether to post about it here, in the techno, noise or post-rock thread, but recently I've been getting sucked back into Nisennenmondai. I saw them live and they rocked my world. Their "N" album seems like such a statement. I don't think I had heard (or seen) anything quite like it, certainly very different from their previous output. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNKA7i4i9GA They did come out with a sort of follow-up later, and it was okay, but it sounded like tracks that were cut from the first one. It's been pretty silent since then, hopefully they're not calling it quits.

I've been wanting to make another ambient album for years, but while I've continued to make music, it hasn't been the ambient album I've wanted  I don't know why, it just keeps taking a different shape for some reason. But I'm really hoping the next thing I make is the ambient thing I've been trying to do for a while.The ambient album I made like 12 years ago remains my favorite thing I've put out.

Fans of The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld rejoice: Alex Paterson and Andy Falconer have reunited to release a new album. It's nominally been released under the name Sedibus, but it's copyrighted to Orbscure and the official YouTube video credits it to them as Sedibus and The Orb. I haven't listened to it all yet, but the opener is a great piece of dronology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbMZIXbHKiY

i bought the entire catalog of the label this band is on for $90; lots of stuff here qualifies for this thread, but, I was super  to discover that a band called Gnoll did a dark ambient concept album which appears to be a direct take on the plot of a semi obscure late 80s choose your own adventure clone called Lone Wolf. this album appears to cover the first book.https://heimatderkatastrophe.bandcamp.com/album/hdk-60-lone-wolf-ep-1-flight-from-the-dark

Cabbages and Kings posted:i bought the entire catalog of the label this band is on for $90; lots of stuff here qualifies for this thread, but, I was super There's nothing semi-obscure about Lone Wolf - outside of Fighting Fantasy it's the most famous series of adventure gamebooks (as distinct from CYOAs, which lack the light RPG elements). The original series ran for 28 books over 14 years with twelve tie-in novelisations and sold 12 million copies worldwide. I will pass the link on to the Lone Wolf thread here. Thanks for providing it.

Cross posting from the psychedelics thread : This is a bit of an odd question and I'm not quite sure how to phrase what I'm after, but I'm looking for if anyone has made audio tracks that are designed to be basically 'soundscapes' that use audio to create a sense of being in different environments. It's fine if there's music as well, but I'm primarily after tracks that heavily lean in to creating a sense of place and environment through audio. I noticed that when tripping (particularly on a 2cb+weed combo), I love music that has elements of kinda atmospheric background noise. Good examples of this would be the start of Entheogenic's 'Body of Light' with its bird and water sounds that sounds like going through some tropical jungle swamp, the crickets/frogs etc at the start of Ott's 'One Day I Wish To Have This Kind of Time', or the people and bicycle noises in 'From Trunch to Stromness'. All these tracks though end up moving away from these atmospheric/ambient noises into straight up music, and I'd like something that is more of the former and less of the latter. Any ideas? Particularly artists that have a mix of environments (so not just nature sounds but also urban environments etc)

Thanks, that's definitely getting pretty close to what I had in mind. I think I'm gonna have to start making a play list mixing up tracks from a few different artists to get the amount of variety that I'd like.

Yeah probably not far off, just field recordings that have been mixed with some low key music and edited for variety. I don't so much want an hour of rainforest noise or an hour of traffic, but something that has been crafted deliberately to move between different environments from natural to urban etc. over the course of a couple hours of tracks. I'm imagining something that might move from like a cobbled street to a desert to a fishing vessel to a hunting lodge with a fire to a backyard garden.

Strange, just noticed the version of GAS's Der Lange Marsch on Bandcamp doesn't have the tinnitus tone. I thought maybe my hearing had changed and wasn't picking it up anymore, but I gave the YouTube music version a listen and there it is, clear as day. I know that was pretty divisive when the album came out. I didn't mind it and thought it was an interesting inclusion, but if you couldn't listen to it cause of that tone, you're in luck!
