been spinning ellicist's "point defects" alot for marking essays etc - it's in a sweet spot between tetsuo inoue's "world receiver" and some of jim o'rourke's more sprawling efforts https://i.discogs.com/ZYKRywReEmcAq4koH7d6l9uB3s7pGP-Vetfl61FjEH4/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTEzNTc5/ODExLTE1NTY4ODQz/OTItNTMxMC5qcGVn.jpeg

Ok the Laurel Halo record is really something, it actually feels like floating underwater (she also played 'Lumeri' from upthread on her NTS show, what a world!).
I've been making an 'ambient' 'jazz' playlist that's mostly Jakob Bro and Jim Hall, suggestions welcome for that...

I've been making a similar nu/post/ambient jazz thing: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6SKAtGSn6CBN2hNPyT0Kgd?si=fb088929dfa1447c

Nice mix. Any track off Matthew Sage and Raymond Zander's Parayellowgram would fit in nicely imo. Also Hat Dog from the new Honestly Same record.

Nice, yours is much deeper since I generally have full albums on mine.

wondering if would be apt to start a thread for "daytime ambient" or "upbeat ambient" - stuff i listen to while i'm at work
would anyone else have a need for this / know of a thread that already exists / is this useless given the availability of other threads?
― Swen, Thursday, 22 February 2024 16:11 (three months ago) link
I'd be interested in that thread!

For awhile I had an 'office techno' (very distinct from business techno obviously) playlist, very minimal/dubby/repetitive stuff. Can't remember what was all on it but like Basic Channel, the new Donato Dozzy would fit, etc.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Thursday, 22 February 2024 19:21 (three months ago) link
I'd definitely follow the thread but not entirely sure what 'upbeat ambient' is!

you know, what got me thinking about it is putting on xtal by aphex twin. and sort of a go hawaii vibe by casino versus japan. that's sort of where my mind goes in this venture. maybe I'll do it, it would be seriously useful for me.

The Detroit Variant group (cv313, Intrusion) just put out a bunch of lovely long form pieces. Kind of expensive ($18 each) but each one is 2 hours plus of some great clouds of sound.
