Rolling ambient/chill out/drone/moodz thread: from 2010s 'til infinity!

new Saphileaum album is nice.

Nice is otm. It's comforting and 'safe' but does the job properly.

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!

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

Saphileaum album so relaxing!

i recommend this: https://cercamusic.bandcamp.com/album/mod-pink-relic

This is nice - https://kirkbarley.bandcamp.com/album/miniatures-2

that is nice! the first track reminds me of Les Halles

Also this has been a go-to lately:

Cmd094 - oscillation

some telepath just 'cause

Loving the cmd094

there is something refreshingly out of sync with current trends about the pulse emitter record. that dude has been publishing earnest blog posts and churning out his synth stuff for like decades seemingly in portland and that energy comes through in a great way. i was listening to the malibu record which isn't really ambient i realized; it takes up a ton of psychological space and its cool but not, like, ego-destroying

pulse emitter is the best! speaking of, he released this noise tape earlier this month which is really more of a dark ambient record: https://pulseemitter.bandcamp.com/album/crack-of-stone

"this is global communication" 😭

this is nice

Really into this, based on low-bandwidth video chat recordings (both found & made), combined with lush synths & strings
https://olivieralary.bandcamp.com/album/u-i

I re-stumble across this every so often and each time think it's the best thing in the world: http://youarelistening.to/

What is that?

It's auto-selected ambient music (from Soundcloud) with live shortwave radio broadcasts. You can select the broadcasts from a whole range of different cities.

I should have said - rather than dumping a weird looking link on the thread!

Following on from that, enjoying this (dark ambient washes, shortwave ruminations just below the surface, from Brazil): https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/shortwave-ruins

I’m also a fan of mount shrine!
I recommend his earlier classic-era vaporwave project, lindsheaven virtual plaza
https://lindsheavenvirtualplaza.bandcamp.com/album/daily-night-euphoria-ep

^^^ love that ep!

*thumbs up*

both of these are excellent

I've been revisiting Kali Malone's The Sacrificial Code this month - it's fantastic on these dark cold mornings.

Less harsh and menacing but in a similar vein to Turman and Dilloway's "Blizzard," this record has been one of my go-tos for icy ambient chill this year. https://galttamedia.bandcamp.com/track/between-life

Hello this thread. Can ilxors recommend me some nice folk ambient/drone?

Thinking stuff along the lines of Michael Tanner's "Suite for Psaltery and Dulcimer", Dead Rat Orchestra's "Guga Hunters of Ness", Halocline's "Duet for Theremin & Lap Steel".

Thankoo

Natural Snow Buildings?

this is really good, reminds me of those Earth albums when they went all doomy and country for a bit. but it's a bit on the gothic/horror soundtrack side sor what I had in mind, which is just droney music made mostly on real instruments that i can sleep or work to.

There's a new Chuck Johnson album that just came out that your request reminded me I need to hear right away.

Jim Ghedi's previous release has been scratching that same itch, https://jimghedi.bandcamp.com/album/a-hymn-for-ancient-land-2

also been enjoying William Tylers take on cosmic Americana https://williamtyler.bandcamp.com/album/new-vanitas

maybe also some of the Drcarlsonalbion instrumentals.

You could try Padang Food Tigers: https://padangfoodtigers.bandcamp.com/album/bumblin-creed

dog latin, the Tanner is bringing the lighter side of Richard Skelton to mind—.

i've mentioned here elsewhere, and i think it was on user ufo's album list of 2020, but this record is really beautiful— processed, yes, but quite "acoustic" ambience with lovely ethereal vocals. https://seaoleena.bandcamp.com/album/weaving-a-basket

Kinda interested in this -

https://www.thesocial.com/monolithic-undertow-harry-sword/

Thanks table - it only struck me last night I should be checking out Richard Skelton for exactly this kind of thing! He's got a lot of stuff out. I'll check out Weaving

Oh wow I'm already loving Sea Oleena

dl, since you mentioned Tanner, I assume you're familiar with Alison Cotton, but if you aren't... godspeed!

https://nickschofield.bandcamp.com/album/glass-gallery

lovely is this

this is gorgeous

Currently playing this lovely bit of slow droning synth ambient from 1984. Probably old hat for this crew but new to me. Any other releases by Roach to recommend? I saw he did an album with Robert Fripp called Trance Spirits and may check that out next.

Dreamtime Return is pretty classic, less spacey, more fourth world-y.

Padang Food Tigers have quietly become one of my favourite bands. Their new one with Andrew Tuttle is gently hovering bliss: https://andrewtuttle.bandcamp.com/album/a-cassowary-apart

https://padangfoodtigers.bandcamp.com/

Pretty niche but this is catnip to me: great mix of stuff recorded in 'resonant spaces' (cathedrals, water tanks etc): https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/resonant-spaces/
