friend of a friend who records under the name WNDFRM makes dynamic burbly ambient with all sorts of little details flitting in and out of the musical weft - fun to listen to w/ attention or to just let it color yr surroundings

I guess that Kompakt release a meditative album of lucent computer music and Fenneszian guitar sounds is no-one's idea of front page news, but I'm really enjoying the Thore Pfeiffer album atm

track 2 (starting at 7 minutes in)

especially when the piano enters over the singer (about 10 minutes in) it reminds me of parts of harold budd's pavilion of dreams

late response but this is really fantastic

it's difficult to find new age/ambient stuff that plies a line between being too major-key and "pretty" and the robert rich-type diffuse "dark" droney stuff. reminds me of pyrolator's wunderland which is one of my favorite albums ever.

whole album is dope

That is nice. Kind of reminds me of Robert Turman's Flux but with a bubblier palette.

same label as dream carpets

This Rorqual tape is pretty cool if you like hazy, minimal textures that have a kind of Basinski vibe. But more concise.

i've been listening obsessively to the bonus track to harold budd's avalon sutra, "as long as i can hold my breath - by night", which takes up the entirety of disc 2 at 1:09:28 and is adapted from the last song on the first disc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa3qZdjZrNo

the whole 154 album is sublime.. needs to be repressed

i agree that "as long as i can hold my breath - by night" is totally gorgeous. i really like the rest of that album too, it sustains quite a mood.. nocturnal pastoral stateliness, would befit some david sylvian vocals but it's quite wonderful just on its own.

it's unfortunate that darla's reissue subbed a really stock-y orchid photo (plus typically naff darla typeface) for the super pretty roccoco-ish rose ensemble of the original issue.

"as long as i can hold my breath - by night" is amazing.. so sad, though

hi cutty

Hey, the new Kara-Lis Coverdale record is really good. It's called 'Grafts'

I heard a track from another Loren Chasse record on the Sleepbot radio today: http://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/album/rbowsing.html
but the album isn't on Discogs or anywhere else on the internet, so I'm listening to all of Chasse's other stuff on Bandcamp (&loving it)

$2.99!!!!!!
and around 500 MB

i've listened to quite a few of these in record shop listening stations, but i only own the second in the series (the first side on it, 'tintinnabulation', is one of my go-to recordings for just about any situation around the house).

loving the brief "liner notes" for each recording, which include little review snippets

on environments 1:

"It soaks the mind... cheaper than booze, safer than pot", Albert Goldman, LIFE, 5/5/1970

been wanting these since i read this piece

https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-man-who-recorded-tamed-and-then-sold-nature-sounds-to-america

but iOS onlu is no good to me

Just emailed them and they said they're working on a version for android.

I wonder who the fourth vote was from?

_I wonder who the fourth vote was from?_


t’was I. I think..

This is cool. I wonder if it would be worth using an old iPad just for this app.
