can a noise dude recommend some AMBIENT

hailu mergia and his classical instrument

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXfeg_Wgll0

have listened to the last track on repeat more than once, it is perfect

no this is all awesome actually

you mentioned hassell but have you heard the aka/darbari/java album? i could seriously live in this soundworld

John Turman - Flux

sakamoto was my first thought. some iasos might scratch yr itch

hiroshi yoshimura (particularly if you like mercuric dance):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpKL1hvTsUM

his first one is a little more solitary and sad than most of these but is not unlike some of that turman lp. worth checking out in any case:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cnGUT9n5iQ

ahh Surround 1 by hiroshi yoshimura is really really nice

soundscape 1: surround, rather. there was a cool collage on wh@t that had a bunch of japanese stuff like that and mkwaju ensemble

yeah, didn't see any youtubes, but soundscape 1 is my favorite! it's the most mercuric dance-y

and I know the collage you're talking about, mainly stuff from the fairlights, mallets, and bamboo mixes:

which are also really nice...

Finis Africae - El Secreto de las 12

i was thinking of recommending finis africae, wasn't sure it fit the bill for this thread, but damn fine stuff nonetheless. there's a great reissue comp on japanese label EM that i think i mentioned on one of the balearic threads

really loving these particularly the first one!

cool!

and that aka/darbari/java clip is real nice. one of many hassell albums I still need to hear...

can a noise dude recommend some drone on the more 'chill' side of the spectrum e.g. stars of the lid or kyle bobby dunn, stuff similar to that

i'm fond of celer (as i've prob mentioned a couple times on this thread)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2kpFWG8bq4

they (now he, since his wife died) are extremely prolific; you can start anywhere imo but the above + menggayakan and compositions for cassette are the ones i return to most often

there are a couple of celer lps on blackest rainbow that i really like as well fwiw

Antrilon - Mind Erase
http://www.discogs.com/Antrilon-Mind-Erase/release/1553387

sorry, that is not really chill.

backtracking to the enthnography-via-keyboard-presets request, would recommend checking out richard horowitz's eros in arabia lp from the early eighties. the only examples from it i can find don't really do it justice though (first one is an extract from the opening 20+ min track)

https://soundcloud.com/romoletto/richard-horowitz-elephant

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pufFFEVkzEU&feature=youtu.be

sounding good

the cover is also p fukkin metal!!

oh yeah! i've listened to the album horowitz did w/ sussan deyhim dozens of times, it's amazing — have never thought to seek out anything by him, stupidly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd6zzU6zlDI

do all the skaters cassettes and cd-rs count as ambient?

cylob's mood bells album on rephlex is all just cheesy synth bells and gongs and shit iirc. i remember hating it when it came out but i'm curious to hear it now.

Great new ex-Labradford project Anjou on Kranky...
https://soundcloud.com/kranky/anjou-sighting/s-NX10t

just sent this to a friend. way out of print.

this would fall in w/ plaxico's minimal/canned new agey ambient, lots of dx-7 sounds (afaict)

Forced Nostalgia has a free/name your price download of 8m² stereo's nineties recordings.

http://forcednostalgia.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-birds

I'm really digging track 2, minimal and kind of strange. Apparently this guy's only real public release was on some em:t comp back in the day.

Surprised me but Untold's new mixtape is terrific and been on loop for the last 48 hrs

http://www.factmag.com/2014/08/11/download-untolds-echo-in-the-valley-mixtape/

Maybe a little more concrète but 100% relevant to y'all I'm sure

untold is brilliant

must admit tim's pricing on this puts it in the rabid-fans-only realm, but it is seriously great & totally different than their previous records.
