can a noise dude recommend some AMBIENT

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.

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!

hailu mergia and his classical instrument

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:

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

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.
