there's a palpable difference between wolfgang voigt being lazy (gas) and burger/ink: las vegas
the main difference being laziness, which tends to plague a lot of ambient music. just because it doesn't have beats and lyrics doesn't mean you can get away with being boring on purpose, or that all concepts hold water (TOMBOT: granular synthesis ate my balls, coming out in 2007)

yeah, i listened to it a bunch the last 2 weeks!
i've also been heavily listening to the reissue of Yutaka Hirose's 1986 LP Nova.
it was the second release in the Soundscape series commissioned by Misawa Home Corporation. the first was the better known (i think?) Surround by Hiroshi Yoshimura, also from 1986.
the reissue is great because the 4 bonus tracks (about 50 minutes long) go even further in blurring the lines between performed music and field recordings

Rip of the 1995 CD release from Della.The CD spine and obi have the artist listed as being "Aloe", presumably referring to the plant, which alludes to the method by which the music was produced.The insert suggests, without explicitly stating, that the human artist was Momoe Soeda, an expert in medical research relating to aloe, as he is quoted as describing how the music was produced:"This CD was produced by attaching a surface potential measurement device to the aloe leaves and converting the measured values into music information to play a synthesizer. The music played by this aloe releases you from everyday stress and leads to deep relaxation. Please enjoy it as a new type of relaxation sound." - Momoe Soeda.Note also that the English title of the album "Aloe Extract Sound" is not a direct translation of the Japanese Title 「アロエ その不思議なサウンド」, which more directly translates to "Aloe: Its Mysterious Sound" (feel free to correct this translation if it is wrong).

as usual with these kinds of things, i'm a little skeptical of the premise of the music played by a plant because "converting" the measurements of the plant to music involves a ton of human influence. you don't just tape a cord on a leaf and glue it to a computer, you have to explicitly give assign ranges and possible values to everything. but the results of this experiment are really lovely.
zero hits for "Momoe Soeda" on ILX. i don't know anything about them but i'm intrigued!

it's weird because it's ambient plant music from 1995 and there is a certain recurring noise that sounds very much like a windows 95 sound, but yet it doesn't sound anything like vaporwave

Available June 26, 2020
Barely known outside of his home country during his lifetime, the late Japanese ambient music pioneer Hiroshi Yoshimura has seen his global stature rise steadily in the past few years. The 2017 reissue of his lauded debut, Music For Nine Post Cards, along with a slow building cult internet following has helped ignite a renaissance in his acclaimed body of work, much of which has never been released outside of Japan. Known for his sound design and environmental music, Yoshimura worked on a number of commissions following the 1982 release of Music For Nine Post Cards, including works for museums, galleries, public spaces, TV shows, video art, fashion shows, and even a cosmetics company.
Originally released in 1986, GREEN is one of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s most well-loved recordings and a favorite of the artist himself. Recorded over the winter of 1985-86 at Yoshimura’s home studio, the compositions unfold at an unhurried pace, a stark contrast to the busy city life of Tokyo. As Yoshimura explained in the original liner notes, the album title in the context of this body of work is not meant to be seen as a color, but is rather used to convey “the comfortable scenery of the natural cycle known as GREEN”—which perfectly encapsulates the soothing and warm sounds contained on the album, although it was created utilizing Yamaha FM synthesizers, known for their crisp digital tones.
This edition marks the first reissue of the highly sought-after and impossible to find album. It features the original mix preferred by Yoshimura himself, previously available only on the initial Japanese vinyl release (a limited edition remixed version of the album, with added sound effects, was released on CD in the US). Additionally, this release is the first in our ongoing series, WATER COPY, focusing on the works of Hiroshi Yoshimura.

just a thought here. i'm 20 beers deep!
i'm going through all my records, picking out everything i don't actively like. my partner's starting up an ongoing thrift store kind of thing with all proceeds going to her mutual aid group. so i'm trying to include things that i no longer like (of montreal hissing fauna, for example, or julia holter) that would get higher donations, in addition to the true dollar bin garbage (the knack). i'm trying to be hard on myself and take away some things i really like, in the process, if i think it will help.
and it strikes me that when i get to my ambient section, i can't bear to part with ANYTHING. like, not a single damn thing. which leads me to this conclusion: "ambient", at least for me, is more like a food flavor, almost in a biological way that you could map to certain sections of the tongue. you would never want to get "rid of" your sense of bitterness or sweetness. ambient is like that for me. there are very few famous ambient "songs" ("an ending (ascent)", "requiem for dying mothers pt 2" are the first two that come to mind for me). ambient is a zone. we know this. but because of that, i have a very hard time eliminating any zones from my collection. i like all of these zones.
― @oneposter(✔️) (Karl Malone), Sunday, 15 November 2020 01:43 (three years ago) link
whereas, the knack, "my sharona", is not a zone. that is a pop song about a guy who always gets it up for the touch of the younger kind, my, my, my, aye-aye, whoa! it is a point. ambient is the zone

I am completely with you on this one, dude, I’m just too baked atm to elucidate much further... but it’s like... ambient is a serious benign environmental alteration thing for me... duh eno definition of ambient... but yeah all these rooms and spaces to live in, I’m never not in the mood to visit Discreet Music side A, yknow? whereas like, “regular music” as Dave Berry puts it... foregrounds emotion in a way that (at my age or whatever) requires a specific emotional state to want to experience and actually enjoy. but yeah idk, over the years i’ve lost all taste for any kind of “extremely major key”/goopy “ambient” (see blech romantic sentimental ambient music), and a strong attraction towards more emotionally ambiguous/nebulous vibes.so idk, do what you will with this post. <3

such an otm post. i've been meaning to start a thread about this for a while
i basically only f/w emotionless/emotionally ambiguous ambient. i think i've listened to discreet music 8000 times. honestly a lot of eno's stuff is too emotional for me most of the time
i can handle some major key new-age stuff, but i really don't like any of the dark/minor key stuff
#1 from selected ambient works vol 2 is like my ambient music bliss point, whereas i'm just about never in the mood for #5 or #22. i really don't like ambient with a "scary" vibe that sounds like it could soundtrack horror, or the stuff that makes u feel queasy
