Rolling ambient/chill out/drone/moodz thread: from 2010s 'til infinity!

Yeah, I love that, it's like its own radio station

I feel like this belongs here somehow - I'm going back to Jacaszek's 2001 LP "Glimmer" and this is just my sort of thing. Romantic electro-acoustic ambient with lots of dark lush timbres, wide soundscapes, a good mix of ... well everything, really - sampled traditional instruments, harsh electronic noise, harmony and dissonance. Looking forward to his other work, I'm going to check out KWIATY next.

near the top of my list of "artists no one is obsessed with but me"

I really like that— he seems to have stopped making music.

glad you like it!

he's still going actually, I dig this from 2018: http://michaeltrommer.blogspot.com/2018/10/executive-shore-unawatuna-sri-lanka.html

but yeah his newer stuff is very different. wish there was more hydraulic material.

also, if you like that, the rest of the comp it's on (Magnetic Blue, from Interchill) is worth checking out.

just loving the Sofie Birch album

is she part of a ... scene? I see a lot of collaborators on this record.

good question

a lot of the collaborators are from Copenhagen, afaik joined by common taste, interests, friends

but the international stuff I dunno, if there's a scene I'd like to be more familiar with it

"RYMbient" album that splits the difference between pastoral/cozy/childlike ambient and tape noise — riyl Nuno Canavarro, Colleen, Tim Hecker. ideally this should be used a soundtrack for a Netflix adaptation of Marianne Dreams/Paperhouse

I've also been loving Foresteppe and you c's Seven Sleepers EP from 2016. more folky and less noisy but sort of in the same vein

(er, 2009, not 2016)

(er, it actually was from 2016, not 2009. first thought best thought)

I like the Rosarian album, tho it has taken a minute to grow.

yes please

$10 for the digital version of a 4LP set!

no previews, sadly, releases today though?

This Rival Consoles album from last year (Now Is) is really nice. Mostly beatless rhythmic synth pieces. I've seen the name but never really checked anything out until now.

I've really liked a few of his albums though he walks a fine line for me, the noisier and more experimental he is, the better.

Persona grabbed me the most. It is a good deep-listening headphones album.

Maria Steed - Green Eyes

sailing out to sea

Made some really great discoveries through the latest Trilogy Tapes NTS show, most notably Ernest Hood (jazz guitarist who lost the ability to play and walk from polio, made some amazingly ahead of their time records on zither and synth in the '70s, maybe all you hipsters already know about them?):

And this lovely EP of tactile piano/cello/guitar pieces (Flaer - Preludes):

https://flaermusic.bandcamp.com/album/preludes

This new Moritz Von Oswald record is something, drone-y but has so much detail and depth with the choir elements, and just enough rhythm lurking under the surface

Really lovely record from Memotone on The Trilogy Tapes:

I’m enjoying this Purelink album on Peal Oil:

https://purelink.bandcamp.com/album/signs

very chill moodz

Glad to see that record has somehow had such reach, I've enjoyed Akeem's dance music for years

xp hearing the Purelink for the first time after noticing it on Pitchfork's AOTY list -- brilliant stuff

Not sure where to put this, but I would have nominated it for the EOY poll if I had heard it a few weeks ago (came out in December). Pretty stunning electronics + Rhodes + vocal improvisations.

Joseph Branciforte + Theo Bleckmann - LP2

no idea who ferdi schuster is but this rules

https://cosimapitz.bandcamp.com/album/nun

YES!!

I recently discovered that label exploring Gespensterland connections, love most of it

same label also did this stunning 90-minute tape of Arvo Part on guitar

https://cosimapitz.bandcamp.com/album/wherever-i-go

(which I fell asleep to just last night)

damn, i can already tell i'm gonna play the shit out of this

ha I immediately bought like six tapes from that label, the Balruin and Spiritual Emojis ones are good too

*Baldruin

Part album is sounding very lovely, ty sleeve

<3

immense vibe on this track

https://ufordia.bandcamp.com/track/earth-love

This is more like a film score than ambient music per se, but it's super good

https://svbkvlt.bandcamp.com/album/ministry-of-tall-tales

The live instruments rework/reimagining/re-recording of Taylor Deupree's Stil. (w/Joseph Branciforte) is excellent -

https://taylordeupree.bandcamp.com/album/sti-ll-2

This is the stuff — cheers for the heads-up.

Lovely stuff

https://hotspring.bandcamp.com/album/apodelia

That sounds great

digging the hell out of this https://wereleasewhateverthefuckwewantrecords.bandcamp.com/album/quiet-logic

and it comes with a hat. more ambient albums should have hats.

That's sounding great ^^

Listened to this a few times; it's good - based on JG Ballard's 'The Drowned World'.

"Be Sure To Loop (Be Sure To Loop Remix)

i am late to the kali malone parade. i just started listening to the sacrificial code this week in my car and the sound is just massive, it feels like another dimension. im overwhelmed.
