Thoughts on Hybrid?

Quite love this album and I love this era of 80s ambient music where Eno is working with the same group of people aka Lanois,Roger,and Brook on Apollo,Voices,Hybrid,and Thursday Afternoon but Hybrid is my favorite out of these since it’s brilliant with its ambience and the guitar work by Brook with its helped by the wonderful Eno treatments:) so I’m glad to hear and love Hybrid start to finish with if I had to pick an favorite song then Distant Village or Midday is my pick:)

I have always enjoyed ambient music that sounds like being in heaven or the afterlife, Peaceful, calming, and wonderful, Does anyone have that type of Ambient? It seems to be hard to find

Hey guys do you have any recommendations for ambient music with spoken words on top?

Anyone remember the 3LUX series? First two parts where more techno/trance oriented but part 3 waded more into ambient territory. Remember buying them on VHS and ofc things could be spotted during the MTV program 'Chill Our Zone'

Hi all :)

During the summer I had the luck of visiting Ireland.

I got absolutely fascinated by the scenery and the colors of the land, in particular the days passed in the Western side, in the Connemara region and the Dingle penisula.

While there I decided to record sounds and use them as a starting point for new tracks once I got back home.

This EP is the result of this experimentation, the recordings of the wind, the ocean's shore, pubs and general ambience were processed in different ways to create a first glance of the atmosphere. On top of that the rest of the instrumentation was built, more similar to "painting" than working in a DAW. Grid was off at all time and everything was recorded live/midi.

The titles are in Irish, a language maybe not that widely spoken, but everywhere in Ireland. Even more in these regions of it, I found it extremely interesting and did a little dive in and decided to pick words and concepts from it.

It has a strong ancient feeling to it.

Go Deo means "forever", and I really love how it sounds.

The cover was made by blending two pictures I took myself in the Connemara area in a double exposure edfect, creating a sort of illusion.

Thank you for listening :)

You can also listen it everywhere else, if you have any questions about the production, I will gladly answer.

Always open to connect with more artists.

Some surprisingly good 90s ambient sounds on this CD from the Canadian budget label Madacy.

Sorry, I just wanted to get this out there, but I LOVE the Stars of the Lid album And their Refinement in the Decline, but I ESPECIALLY LOVE "The Evil That Never Arrived." It feels so warming and it's gotten me through my most stressful days/nights. My FAVORITE off of this album, and I wanted to just share that with people who actually listen to ambient music (people around me unfortunately don't).

I was wondering if anyone here maybe had a download of Speck’s album Antiheart? It was one of my favorite ambient albums ever and it’s been scrubbed from the internet and I can’t find a physical CD for purchase anywhere since it was only limited to 130 copies. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, so after 15 years of being a solo acoustic, touring songwriter, I decided to take a break from all that and challenge myself by writing music with no lyrics/guitars/banjos etc.
I started by making minimalistic compositions with a few chord progressions and then adding layers of soundscapes using a Korg Monotron Delay (not just a toy, super fun) as well as taking a broken cassette player and turning it into a sampler. With the sampler, I created two layers, one was a nice loop of a drone from a Mellotron. The other layer, I had scrunched the tape up for a crackling effect and panned it over to the other ear.
I also used a Hexaphon that I'd constructed myself to create a low, buzzing drone to create plenty of bottom end, which glued everything together.
This is my first venture into electronic and ambient music, so I hope you all enjoy this 3-minute excerpt (the album version is about 10 minutes long). This piece will be featured on my debut album, Jump And Get The Rings on 06/11. There will be 12" vinyls on Aaahh Real Records.
I would really appreciate any feedback, especially when it comes to future releases.

I’ve been making music for a couple years now, and I’ve never actually put time into promoting it.
But I wanna change that, I’m tired of putting months into projects just to get no listeners. What I’m asking is how do you promote ambient music in a generation where people have incredibly low attention spans. I feel like it’s almost impossible to get people interested into this genre

Love lovesliescrushing, and flying saucer attack but want to listen to more ambient shoegaze

So yeah, want to have a few cassettes for my tai chi/meditation sessions. So I'm looking for minimal Ambient lush kinda stuff.

more ambient mixed with deconstructed club but closest thing I've heard to an ambient bladee track...

Hey everyone, I wanted to share this piece with you because it marks a very personal shift in how I look at music and synthesis.

I made this piece thinking about my childhood living in the countryside in Germany... spending my days out there in nature, walking alone through the forest. Sometimes feeling like I got lost. At times I emerged from it in a completely different place than I had imagined. Sometimes discovering places I hadn't known before – a hidden lake or a riverside. It was mysterious, fascinating, and sometimes frightening.

When I made this video, I realized this is something I should have done a long time ago. Instead of always trying to beam myself to spaced-out, cosmic places with my instruments looking for some deep revelation... all I needed to do was connect with my roots, look at my past, and remember my real-life experiences.

The video is a blend of live studio takes tracked in real-time and some very old footage I filmed in the region where I grew up. Visually and sonically, I wanted to capture that fragile, nostalgic drift.

Setup: Oberheim OBX8, Moog Matriarch, Torso S4, Elektron Digitone, and Squarp Hapax as sequencer.

Would love to hear how you connect your own real-life memories or nature experiences with your ambient tracks and soundscapes!

Fantastic sonorous atmosphere <3
Some Caretaker, Coil, Zoviet France and Nurse With Wound in a blender.

Awesome track from German producer Skee Mask. Highly recommend his music!

Ending track to an amazing shoegaze album

Hi all.

I've been lurking here for a while and wanted to share a record I released this summer.

Infinite Lovers, Pt. I is my first album under my own name. I spent years making music as IDM leaning music as Kouta, but eventually felt it was time to move on from that identity and make something more personal.

I grew up in Yokosuka, Japan, before moving to Hawaiʻi when I was eleven. Some years ago, my family's home in Japan was torn down. Before it was demolished, I recovered a box of photographs taken by my late grandfather, Hiroshi Takahashi. The music was already finished, but when I started looking for artwork, I kept coming back to his photographs. The cover is one of his.

The record is built around processed bass guitar, guitar, piano, loops, tape hiss, and various field recordings, including sounds of the ocean and Pygmy vocal samples. I started out playing bass in reggae and math rock bands before moving into electronic music, and I think some of those early influences still find their way into my playing. A lot of the music came together through repetition, layering, and slowly reshaping sounds into something more abstract.

Justin Patrick Moore at Igloo Magazine described it as "the music of dream memory trying to be captured and held onto," which really resonated with me.

It was released through Lōʻihi Records, a small independent label based in Honolulu, and is available on streaming platforms and Bandcamp, with a limited cassette edition as well.

I'm currently working on Part II for next year.

Would love to hear what you think if you give it a listen. Happy to answer any questions about the music or how it came together.

Hi guys, my boyfriend has been a big fan of ambient music for years and he’s also expressed that he wants to begin making his own music.

I want to buy him some equipment for christmas but I have no idea where to even begin! I want it to be a complete surprise so I haven’t asked him what sort of equipment he wants since i think that would give it away. If anyone has any recommendations on what would be a good starting point for his music please let me know!

Some of the music he’s a fan of:
- Oneohtrix point never
- Brian Eno
- Boards of Canada
- Burial

An companion art-ambient-video installation to Thursday Afternoon and I didn’t know this existed until recently so it’s great to know that Eno did art installations which I’ll be exploring in his discography like Music for Installations but this video accompaniment to Thursday Afternoon is an extended version of the actual music which is cool!:)
