Sounds cool, I'll check it out. It's more ambient than jazz/free improv?
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 08:33 (four years ago) link
slightly closer to ambient at times but still as improv as you'd expect with the personnel involved.
― calzino, Tuesday, 7 May 2019 08:37 (four years ago) link
the more improvy parts have that zen quality you sometimes get listening to masters of that field.

The new Craig Leon thing, Anthology of Interplanetary Folk Music Vol. 2: The Canon, is bloody marvellous. Probably more straight up ambient than the first volume, but just as compelling.

Do people round here like sax drones? If so, you will like these:

That Craig Leon album is great. Thanks for the recommendation.

Liking Celer's Xiexie a lot. Looking for "where to next?" guidance on his very large Bandcamp catalog. Chronologically backwards? Any earlier standouts to head for first?

Engaged Touches, recorded when Celer was still a duo (Will's wife Danielle passed away in 2009), is essential imho.

Dalot – ΛΗΤΩ
"Dalot embarks on an epic journey with the composed field recordings of “ΛΗΤΩ”. Throughout the whole of the album Dalot brings a wide variety of many layers into the mix resulting in something that has such power behind it. By opting for such an approach, it recalls the unique tact of 70s sonic pioneers. While incorporating so much experimentation it makes sure that emotion rests at the very heart of it all. What is of the utmost importance is the concept of texture, with all the many conversations filtering into the fray."
rather enjoying this one today.

I really like this Rosenau & Sanborn EP (LP?):https://rosenausanborn.bandcamp.com/album/bluebird
The pastoral guitar and creaky ambient room sounds + modular synths make it like an album-length incarnation of those modular instagram videos with lots of plants and tasteful interior decorating. But, like, in a good way.

Celer's having a closeout sale on his Bandcamp site, FYI. Looks 3/4ths sold out, at least the physical side. Picked up Nacreous Clouds.

This album is strikingly beautiful, really a remarkable journey. Year-end material for sure

I couldn't get into it at all, unfortunately. Unless the random noodling's the point?
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 12:41 (four years ago) link
Maybe it's the point? It's one of my favourites from this year too, it's a great (very) early morning record.
― toby, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 08:30 (four years ago) link
i like the kali malone but not as much as a lot of other people seem to

I am going to bring this thread into further disrepute by recommending Víkingur Ólafsson's fabbo Bach Reworks album on here.

Have been listening to the Kali Malone album a lot this week, it's also fun to compare it to Organ Dirges 2016 - 2017 and to these recordings: https://soundcloud.com/leguesswho/sets/kali-malone-live-at-le-guess-who-2019
Also gave the new Ben Vida a listen: https://shelterpress.bandcamp.com/album/reducing-the-tempo-to-zero I found it surprisingly engrossing, but obviously it's a bit of a commitment.

Posted this in the 2019 album poll thread, posting it here as well:
There were some good recommendations upthread for fans of the Kali Malone album. Allow me to add a few:
Satie - Messe des Pauvres (organ-only version) Spotify
Feldman - Principal Sound Spotify
Blake Hargreaves - Improvisations on the pipe organs of Europe bandcamp
Heck, maybe even Keith Jarrett's Hymns/Spheres... you never know. Spotify

new Saphileaum album is nice.
― calzino, Friday, 6 March 2020 09:40 (four years ago) link
Nice is otm. It's comforting and 'safe' but does the job properly.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:43 (four years ago) link
it allegedly is a concept album about a journey into the Caucasian mountains to find some mystic monks or something, but bollox aside sometimes you just need something a bit chill for a period, especially when your nightmares are becoming daymares!
― calzino, Friday, 6 March 2020 11:06 (four years ago) link
I can recommend 'Live At The Edge' by DK on the excellent 12th Isle label. It's a recording of a live ambient set in South Korea I think. You can hear one side of it here - https://soundcloud.com/12th-isle/dk-live-at-the-edge-isle0085
