Sax as vast church organ

Hilde Marie Holsen's Lazuli lp is another one made from similar parts (acoustic trumpet, electronic manipulation). It's definitely more on the chillout end of the EA/Improv spectrum.

it's a couple years old but I've been listening to Legiac's Voynich Manuscript a lot lately. riyl documentaries about ancient aliens and/or the ambient bits on FSOL's ISDN and Dead Cities albums

Legiac also did this 4.5-hr mix of stuff which is really lovely: https://reviews.headphonecommute.com/2016/02/09/roel-funcken-the-voynich-manuscript-mix/
― Mince Pramthwart (James Morrison), Friday, 14 September 2018 03:43 (five years ago) link
i have nothing against funcken or this mix or anything, but we really need some standards regarding the term 'voynich manuscript'

Listening to Paul Jebanasam's Rites for the first time in ages (Friday night is party night, round here). Rites IV is a dirty great wall of BIG DREAD.

Fifty Eleven Project is Kasper Bjørke documenting his emotional ride through a cancer diagnosis. Really beautiful stuff and not as bleak as you might expect from that premise. Strings by Davide Rossi.

Check out the untitled compilation on bbliss if you can. I think this label's run by Huerco S. It was released on cassette only a while ago which now sells for like £75 but got reissued on vinyl and MP3, so it's good

i'm so excited that it has cover art now. i got it legit free from autoplate.org fifteen years ago and have been listening to the same mp3s ever since.

thanks for the heads up on this! here's something I found in my periodic "sure, I'll buy your label discography at sixty percent off" binges and it's REALLY good - use of samples/found-sound in a very subtle & good way throughout

Bought it, thanks.
If anyone checks out / knows Lazy Sunday Funerals, I'd be interested if you can recommend more ambient albums with a similar lightness to them. That sense of spaciousness and ease; the opposite of melodrama.

so glad you're digging it! yeah that "light ambient" is its own lookout, I'll dig around

I also enjoyed this one, by a RYM user:

I don't know if deconstructing traditional Chinese music counts as 'ambient' per se but it's definitely got the 'moodz' part down pat.

^^ It's perfect. For nearly two decades he's consistently made gorgeous music. I very much admire how he kept it up after his personal tragedy and kept heading down his own unique path.
