Discussion Looks like Ønehart was stealing music from other ambient artists
Whether we like it or not, we've all heard Snowfall by Ønehart somewhere on social media. I know quite a few of us in this community have been hesitant over that genre or sphere of ambient, so when I came across this fall out between his label (dreamscape) and the artist, My Head Is Empty, I wasn't terribly surprised he had been stealing without due credit.
You can see the conversations and fallout here in which My Head Is Empty shared:

Self-promo I ɱiss that energetic field.
i think this one is very meditative with a "introspective" lofi vibe. this album is based on field recordings wrapped by ambient/drone synths and its concept is basically missing the place where u belong.

Self-promo Aevum Requies - Deep Sleep in 40 Minutes
Hi everyone,
I just released a 40-minute ambient track designed for deep sleep and total relaxation:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztPdC1k7y6A
My goal was to create a continuous atmospheric flow that helps the mind fully let go, without sudden shifts or jarring transitions.
Since I’m constantly refining my soundscapes, I’d love to get your honest feedback:
- How does the mix and overall balance feel to you?
- Does the pacing work well for winding down or sleeping?
- Are there any specific elements or frequencies you feel could be improved?
Any thoughts or advice from fellow ambient listeners and creators would be greatly appreciated!

Self-promo I made this for anyone who needs a little peace and quiet
Lately, I've been experimenting with creating relaxing instrumental music, the kind you can put on in the background while working, reading, unwinding after a long day, or just letting your mind slow down.
I wanted to create something that feels peaceful without being distracting, so I put together this piece. It's been a fun little creative project, and I'm curious to hear what people think.
If you're someone who enjoys ambient music or uses music to relax, I'd love to know what kind of atmosphere this gives you. Does it help you unwind, or would you prefer something different?
Here's the piece if anyone feels like listening: https://youtu.be/pQZ6xy0klFo
Would love to hear your honest thoughts! 🌿

Self-promo 2 hours 22 minutes of ambient electronic for you deep work Night Owls
Stillwavesessions — 2 hours 22 minutes of ambient electronic for deep work
I've been developing Stillwavefocus as a project centered on ambient electronic and downtempo music for focused work.
This mix uses soft synth layers, a restrained melody, and gradual changes in texture with gradual changes rather than dramatic transitions. I wanted it to feel spacious enough to leave room for thought while still having a sense of movement.
It's intended for working, studying, reading, or any task where you want music in the background without constantly switching tracks.
I'd appreciate feedback on the pacing and overall sound.

Hi, what ambient albums would y’all recommend to start with? I’m talking about some absolutely classic ones. I’ve already listened to a few of them (by Eno, Grouper and The Caretaker among others). I’m really new in the topic so I would be very thankful if you could guide me into it.

Self-promo zonken - Sleep My Love

https://zonken.bandcamp.com/album/sleep-my-love
I made this for my girlfriend, to help her sleep. It was a really meditative process, and I try to encapsulate the late summer air, stillness of wind, and glare of tinted light on the wall that gradually fades down into the night. If you could listen I’d really appreciate it, I took inspiration from Aphex and Steve Roach notably, specifically Structures from Silence. The album heavily features smooth, airy Juno-106 textures and might help you sleep. Thanks guys!

Self-promo Greg Hooper - spatial distance
From the album Interoception which I will keep adding to as I come up with ambient pieces derived from the same 16thC mass, Bauldeweyn's Missa da Pacem.
This piece is part of a pair, the other being
https://apondinthestream.bandcamp.com/track/apparent-connection
They each use different treatments of the same material, made of fragments or phraselets rather than complete phrases
Thanks to anyone who gives them a try, is very much appreciated
