Rutman is the innovator who's being doing this for decades, his records are more crazy/wild noisy than mellow. Warren and Samolis' record actually manages some consistent intervals, they've actually tamed the instrument into producing consonant sounds... Rutman 'industrial', W&S 'space music'.
I've only heard 'music to sleep by' and '1939' though.
& there's earlier W&S recordings that are noisier, and probably better, that should come out... if you have a label looking to put out some crazy brilliant drone, you should drop them an e-mail

is there something to "get?" i just put it on and let it go. seems like an obvious descendent of the taj mahal travellers, kosugi's "catch wave," etc.

Totally OTM. I have been saying a very similar thing about the satastornade album for a while now.

in case folks are not aware, the black dog have teamed up with psychick warrioirs ov gaia under the dadavisitic orchestra guise, and are to release a proper full length album of golden FAX era ambient drones.the results are very nice.

Didn't know this thread existed... I was searching for a Loscil thread yesterday but couldn't find one, so I'll ask here: can someone do a c/d s/d on his discography? I've loved most anything I've heard from him but have not heard any full lengths - something I want to remedy.
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
'Submers' and 'First Narrows' have steadily been my favorites, I think they are archetypes of Loscil's sound. Great depth and density, underwater waltzes. You can't go wrong with either, though I'd recommend 'Submers' for starters.

Gonna have to dig through this thread more because this type of stuff is up my alley recently.
Anyone have anything to say about CM Von Hausswolff? The bits on iTunes sound promising but hard to judge this type of stuff with clips that short.

Also if anyone cares, here's something I did for a friend's art installation a number of years ago: https://files.me.com/seancarruthers/c6tod4.mp3

Second Loscil's _Submers_ as the album to start with, as it's the one that hooked me to pikc.
Also, Loscil's _Stases_ is a free album download here. It's at ...archive.org, as it seems the original site is defunct. Good bookend to his first four albums.
― the body of a spider... (scampering alpaca), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
"to pikc" = "to pick up his other albums". There are also a handful of compilation tracks on iTunes, if you're a completist.
― the body of a spider... (scampering alpaca), Tuesday, 5 July 2011 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
Man, thanks for the Submers recommendations. Listening to it now and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Has anyone ever done a POX for classic/best ambient records? ie the ten ambient albums that must be in your collection.
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
Ah, I see that the answer is yes.
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
Although hearing everyone's personal top 10 might be more interesting.

I guess this responding to a post from four years ago, but Soriah live (with Ashkelon Sain) was probably one of the best shows I've ever seen.

gas - rausch is very good. starting my second proper listen right now. "The album consists of one piece of music that is indexed solely for navigational purposes, and is designed to be listened to in one sitting" : good to know, it felt like it.
