pulse emitter is the best! speaking of, he released this noise tape earlier this month which is really more of a dark ambient record: https://pulseemitter.bandcamp.com/album/crack-of-stone

What is that?
― calstars, Sunday, 20 December 2020 23:31 (three years ago) link
It's auto-selected ambient music (from Soundcloud) with live shortwave radio broadcasts. You can select the broadcasts from a whole range of different cities.
I should have said - rather than dumping a weird looking link on the thread!

Less harsh and menacing but in a similar vein to Turman and Dilloway's "Blizzard," this record has been one of my go-tos for icy ambient chill this year. https://galttamedia.bandcamp.com/track/between-life

Hello this thread. Can ilxors recommend me some nice folk ambient/drone?
Thinking stuff along the lines of Michael Tanner's "Suite for Psaltery and Dulcimer", Dead Rat Orchestra's "Guga Hunters of Ness", Halocline's "Duet for Theremin & Lap Steel".
Thankoo

this is really good, reminds me of those Earth albums when they went all doomy and country for a bit. but it's a bit on the gothic/horror soundtrack side sor what I had in mind, which is just droney music made mostly on real instruments that i can sleep or work to.

There's a new Chuck Johnson album that just came out that your request reminded me I need to hear right away.

Jim Ghedi's previous release has been scratching that same itch, https://jimghedi.bandcamp.com/album/a-hymn-for-ancient-land-2
also been enjoying William Tylers take on cosmic Americana https://williamtyler.bandcamp.com/album/new-vanitas
maybe also some of the Drcarlsonalbion instrumentals.

dog latin, the Tanner is bringing the lighter side of Richard Skelton to mind—.
i've mentioned here elsewhere, and i think it was on user ufo's album list of 2020, but this record is really beautiful— processed, yes, but quite "acoustic" ambience with lovely ethereal vocals. https://seaoleena.bandcamp.com/album/weaving-a-basket

Currently playing this lovely bit of slow droning synth ambient from 1984. Probably old hat for this crew but new to me. Any other releases by Roach to recommend? I saw he did an album with Robert Fripp called Trance Spirits and may check that out next.

Dreamtime Return is pretty classic, less spacey, more fourth world-y.

pomenitul, i hadn't heard alison cotton, but that was very excellent and spot on.
I've started a little aural "mood board"/sketchpad for a nature-based drone/ambient album. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14AdnvL9dneFvxUkGLWdTn?si=qGkteuUGQqS7-WhTY6m-zQ
The idea is I might go for a walk and record the sounds around me with a portable recorder, then "DJ" the sounds of the walk over the mix. I've never DJ'd a walk before - it might end up sounding bad, but it's a fun idea.

Dope album. My first reaction was "this sounds like stuff I've heard before" but then it opened up to me.

https://annebourne.bandcamp.com/album/wave
anne was the cellist / keyboardist with jane siberry in the 80's, then in the 90's fell in with pauline oliveros / fred frith / john oswald / weirder B.C. scenes and she's never stopped turning up in cool contexts but never put out anything solo, till a year ago she began quietly uploading single tracks to bandcamp, and then she just put up this 'album'
now that more people know Radigue the last ten years has seen a lot of people doing extreme minimalism (and all I can really hear is that it's easier to automate five minute cross-fades on your rack) but what Anne's doing is that kind of restraint that took decades to learn
