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

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.

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

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.

pomenitul, i hadn't heard alison cotton, but that was very excellent and spot on.
I've started a little aural "mood board"/sketchpad for a nature-based drone/ambient album. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14AdnvL9dneFvxUkGLWdTn?si=qGkteuUGQqS7-WhTY6m-zQ
The idea is I might go for a walk and record the sounds around me with a portable recorder, then "DJ" the sounds of the walk over the mix. I've never DJ'd a walk before - it might end up sounding bad, but it's a fun idea.

Dope album. My first reaction was "this sounds like stuff I've heard before" but then it opened up to me.

https://annebourne.bandcamp.com/album/wave
anne was the cellist / keyboardist with jane siberry in the 80's, then in the 90's fell in with pauline oliveros / fred frith / john oswald / weirder B.C. scenes and she's never stopped turning up in cool contexts but never put out anything solo, till a year ago she began quietly uploading single tracks to bandcamp, and then she just put up this 'album'
now that more people know Radigue the last ten years has seen a lot of people doing extreme minimalism (and all I can really hear is that it's easier to automate five minute cross-fades on your rack) but what Anne's doing is that kind of restraint that took decades to learn

Maybe this is familiar to people, but I'm really enjoying this Alessandro Cortini record from 2017 after listening to an interview with him:https://open.spotify.com/album/6fXNm5RvqVEMi2X7368caX?si=d262565de87b4fe6
Apparently all made on a Roland MC 202 in hotel rooms. Also he dropped approximately 1 million archival records on Bandcamp this year.

Making an album on a single piece of gear is very much my shit

love that Cortini record, glad it's still finding listeners.
― heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Thursday, 27 May 2021 16:43 (two years ago) link
yeah, I'm a big fan of Cortini's stuff!
if you haven't heard it already, I recommend checking out this M. Geddes Gengras album which was made on a Korg Volca FM (and in a hotel room like the Cortini):https://umorrex.bandcamp.com/album/hawaiki-tapes
― eisimpleir (crüt), Thursday, 27 May 2021 17:03 (two years ago) link
Ooh thanks! I too recently made an EP using the Volca FM primarily, but like sequenced dance music using samples for all of the bass and drums. The Cortini record made me wonder if I could do something more live & dubby with it.

I feel like this belongs here somehow - I'm going back to Jacaszek's 2001 LP "Glimmer" and this is just my sort of thing. Romantic electro-acoustic ambient with lots of dark lush timbres, wide soundscapes, a good mix of ... well everything, really - sampled traditional instruments, harsh electronic noise, harmony and dissonance. Looking forward to his other work, I'm going to check out KWIATY next.
