Ambient Music Thread Genre • Page 97

Update...it's awesome. The absolute best of ambient music. The sounds feel so organic. The low end frequencies are what's moving me right now but different things already stand out on different listens, like the shimmering, ripple sounds somewhere in the distance on Briefly. It's everything I want from this kind of sprawling, meditative slant of ambient.

The reviews I've read are obviously all commenting on the length and there's no question you could cut tracks off. But it's so good I don't know why you'd want to. Ambient fans are used to lengths approaching that, and this is definitive ambient music, like a Music For Airports (although the title is a subversion of that well-trodden utilitarian formula).

 

Double-posting but I thought this might interest some in here. Some of you may know I'm a writer.

Well, I wanted to share this wonderful and weird collaboration with local Philly poet Adam Gianforcaro. A tribute to ambient music pioneer Hiroshi Yoshimura (RIP), a nine-part poem that begins at the end and ends at the beginning Published today by Animal Heart Press and FERAL Journal.

Also, since it's getting cooler, listening way more to this genre. Here are some new releases worth your time.

remastered Emeralds album out today

new Other Lands album (RIYL Gaussian Curve, Gigi Masin, ambient with dynamic instrumentation)

new Ian William Craig (RIYL Julianna Barwick, Tim Hecker, Fennesz with wordless vocals)

 

new one from one of my favorites
ffo grouper

 

new log(m) and Laraaji collab EP. dubby, spacey, tropical, ambient vibes. If you haven't heard this collab yet then I highly recommend you check them out now. I picked up the first record on vinyl recently and it included this as a bonus. love it.

New Romeo Poirier album. Also very good.

 

Anyone want to start a Telegram group for ambient? I'll start it if theres any interest. This website sucks so I don't post much.

 

I don’t know what Telegram is, sorry

new Son of Chi album today and it’s exactly what I want from them (riyl Jon Hassell, The Humble Bee, fourth-world ambient/classic Astral Industries vibe)

Also new album by the fun years (riyl guitar-centric / post-rocky ambient)

 

I haven’t listen to TFY in forever but I loved Heroes of the Second Story Walkup so much. How is this new one?

 

haven't listened yet but will do so this morning!

 

the fun years album is way more droney than I expected it (in a good way). reminds me of the TWDY album Vespertine that came out a few years ago

 

Seeing Dustin O’Halloran tonight in this really old church in Oslo and I’m very excited

 

that is sure to be amazing

 

New KMRU album dropped today!

 

What a beautiful show - acoustics were fantastic, the lighting was great, and he finished the show with an encore that featured “Opus 20” from my favorite soundtrack of all time, “Breathe In”, and also Johann Johannsson’s “Flight From The City”, which was just sublime - overall a great night

 

that is a gorgeous venue. sounds like an amazing night

 

Been listening to this one a lot here in October.

 

New Eluvium track

 

great release day today for ambient

new Laraaji

new Geotic

new Ulla

 

This is going to be absolutely magical.

 

Put on a pair of headphones and bathe in this.

Not an interruption in sight (unless bandcamp takes a moment to load up the next track). Lush, saturated melodies, dissipating only to leave just enough room to usher in the next one.

 

Yeah this is dreamier than biting into a Chipotle burrito with all my favorite fixings - so yeah, it's really good

 

utterly gorgeous stuff. on my first listen now, feels like I'm floating

 

My top was ambient too
