can a noise dude recommend some AMBIENT

bvdub sideproject east of oceans - 121 years is pretty dope:

drums are too hyper to be ambient but this is the only bvdub thread i think

really good

I wasn't sure where to put this so I filed it under idm

sorry

i need more fuzzed-out, all-encompassing ambient that fills the entire sound spectrum (e.g. bvdub, gas, fennesz). what else is there?

ekkehard ehlers / plays

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_exXsEnlZ2A

also keith fullerton whitman's "lisbon" is hitting the spot atm

will get that ehlers album, remember hearing it years ago but completely forgot about him

celer's engaged touches is working well in a gebrauchmusik sort of way atm — discogs list these guys as having made 62 albums since 2005 which rams home the fact that music like this is pretty easy to make

The new Koen Holtkamp (Liquid Light Forms) is really nice
http://open.spotify.com/album/0bv59l0weuSZHJxaFihCgc

It's a synthy one rather than a guitar thing btw, a lot easier to get into than the last Mountains album though

Also it has a track called Hoosick

Looking it up on last.fm to see how folks are enjoying it and it only has FOUR listeners so far :(

tim hecker - harmony in ultraviolet yesssss

that new one with tim hecker and daniel lopatin is pretty cool

Hecker and Lopatin are perhaps the most preeminent figures currently making ambient music but the strength of this record comes from their disregard for coherence and disinterest in finding common ground. Their warring improvisations are intriguing, unsettling and often exquisite.

the second track of this is bloody ace m8s

c you need to download this one, has a track called 'vaccination (thomas mann)' no less

also looking forward to 'racist drone' and 'grey geisha' from side two

<3 this so much

Hecker and Lopatin doesn't quite measure up to what I hoped it might be, but it's still a decent record.

finally got around to kyle bobby dunn, thx lamp

His work has been described as "compositions that are patience incarnate" [4] and "encourage an emotional response even as its seemingly infinite, creeping swirl and hum threatens to numb. A difficult feat." [5]

New Mountains record out this coming week, hope it's better than the last one (which was still p good), cos the ones before that were fantastic.

Here's a track off the new one, sounds fucking great tbh:

fuzzed-out, all-encompassing ambient that fills the entire sound spectrum

loscil's coast/range/arc is fulfilling this need atm:

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

this loscil was good iirc

http://bubblegumcage3.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/loscil-endless-falls.jpg

i like that one a lot too

celer's menggayakan also hitting the spot lately

https://soundcloud.com/analogpath/menggayakan-sample

So there's this semi-obscure ambient/drone album that I used to love and I can't find it or remember who it was.
I think the whole album was only three long tracks or so and it sounded like a barge slowly scraping against an iceberg.
It was very sludgy, almost like Nadja but no drums and deeper and lo-fi(you could hear the thickness of the tape, not a lot of high end) and it felt like it was maybe an 80s cassette release?

Anybody with any idea? I think I might've read about it as a recommendation from Milton or another old school noize board dude.

N/m, found it!
Albumina Blues by Courtis. Get it if you don't got it.

reynols?

Yeah, it's Anla Courtis but just attributed to "Courtis". It's a 2001 release of some 90s recordings.

how is bvdub so consistently great

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

i like bvdub

bvdub is prolific and miserable and gorgeous

can't keep up with his output. this was a good one

I totally recommend the Justin Walter album Lullabies & Nightmares that came out last month on Kranky. Nice soft and somewhat marshmallowy synths that chug along in a Cluster-ish sort of way, plus processed trumpet that makes me think of Jon Hassell. Great album all the way through.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3tV8n-CVnA

can somebody give me recs in a v new age music enthnography-via-keyboard-presets vein, like eno-hassell but much more minimal and canned. crystalvibrations blogspot has been out of business for quite a while now and i have minimal sources. woke up at four in the morning last night with selected ambient works vol ii playing on a loop and it was so unpleasant. namaste.

vangelis katsoulis - the sleeping beauties
i am the center: private issue new age music in america 1950-1990

bunch of ECM stuff maybe? not strictly speaking all keyboard-y i guess

yeah i really want to hear that i am the center album. will check out vangelis katsoulis, never heard that name. also listening to in gardens where we feel secure but its picnic at hanging rock and i want walkabout

world standard!

yeah ecm is a good call

i knew you would be the one to ask clouds!
