Chinaski, he wrote me back within a few hours. He says he's going to put them up on a bandcamp soon, and that the session are very precious to him. Nice guy!

That's amazing Table - great news! I've been listening to the tracks a good deal (two from the session from what I can make out). Beautiful.

Today's the day for my first real music release (real as in there are some physical copies) since...like 2002!?

want to mention here that i acquired Eno Music For Airports on cassette recently - so happy with this find
― surm, Monday, 6 December 2021 16:59 (two years ago) link
Cool, surm! I didn't even know they released that on cassette!
A thanks and minor quibble:
the Santilli record is indeed beautiful, but is really not an ambient record— it sounds like the son of Tibbetts Northern Song, or even a more expansive William Ackerman. Has more in common with the Schlarb/Taylor record from this past year and other ECM stylings.
the Softer Drive record is beautiful, KM!

Chinaski and all, Tim wrote me to let me know the undercurrents sessions are now on Bandcamp.

The notes on the page there are pretty interesting.

Sounds great, got a notification about it today.
I'm thinking of splurging and just buying the whole PITP discography— 113 back catalog releases for $85 USD, more or less. seems like a good deal.

Thanks Karl! I almost put "Excessive Use of _____" on there, but panicked because while it fit with the track before it, I wasn't sure of the ending because it's so new to me. Next mix, after a few more listens. :-)

forthcoming intl. anthem release sounding v good to my ears: https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/recordings-from-the-land-islands
...In 2019 they were awarded a grant from the Department of Culture to return and perform a concert at the Kumlinge Kyrka, a 14th century medieval church adorned with incredible frescos. The concert was recorded and became source material – along with improvisations on viola and electronics, pipe organ, pump organ, piano, synthesizers, field recordings and voice memos, all captured across both their trips at various locations on the archipelago – from which they meticulously crafted a post-script in the form of 'Recordings from the Åland Islands'.

was kinda wary about Technical Itch's experiments in ambient given he usually does dark, choppy drum and bass (yes, still!) but i was pleasantly surprised when i eventually picked up the first one, nice dusky, droney ambient noise. i'm not so sure about the hour-long pieces, just because they don't fit my listning habits (shuffle everything!), but i'll certainly get the earlier releases.

great mix Table, really enjoying it.
Thanks for the Soshi rec as well Qamon. Inspired me to dote around on Logic Pro again.
― hrep (H.P), Tuesday, 18 January 2022 04:49 (two years ago) link
Good call on the Technical Itch - he seems to have made 6 full albums of mildly threatening drone, which is providing a good work from home soundtrack today. There are several other dnb producers who have made decent ambient music, the most notable examples being the mighty ASC and also his chum Sam KDC.
― the article don, Tuesday, 18 January 2022 11:32 (two years ago) link
the last section of table's mix, especially -- ambient music does not equal sleepy time music, of course, but the day i listened to the mix, i was unprepared and it knocked me the fuck out for a few hours, it was wonderful
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 18 January 2022 16:28 (two years ago) link
Oh, thanks for listening all. I think I'll provide a download link to the mix at the end of the month, and also get prepared for a second ambient mix soon :-)

Another ambient mix for a poetry blog, a bit shorter than the last one, featuring some ILX favorites.

love that one too table!
i'm listening to Meitei's Komachi for the millionth time. i must have mentioned it somewhere, in fact, i'm pretty sure i heard about it on ilm, probably from table. anyway, what an all-timer ambient recommendation. i moved recently and decided to (say that i will) sell all my records rather than getting a real job. i still mostly believe that, but i only took half of one ikea record shelf space with me on the move, and Komachi was a no-brainer
― Karl Malone, Friday, 28 January 2022 18:32 (two years ago) link
thanks for that rec
― surm, Sunday, 6 February 2022 15:53 (two years ago) link
(gorgeous)
― surm, Sunday, 6 February 2022 15:59 (two years ago) link
oh yeah, of course! a good friend prefers Meitei's Kwaidan, so make sure you check that out too if you like Komachi. Meitei's newer stuff (last year or two) is a bit different and i'm still kind of figuring it out, but i think i like it quite a bit as well. but Komachi, though -- that is my kind of ambient :)
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 6 February 2022 16:03 (two years ago) link
wow so exciting this is making my life rn
― surm, Sunday, 6 February 2022 17:03 (two years ago) link
Thanks for the recommendation.
Meitei considers himself an old soul, often preoccupied with the customs and rituals of the past. Recently Meitei lost his beloved 99-year-old grandmother ... he chose to dedicate Komachi to his late Grandmother.
This is, er, kinda crazy since my 99-year-old grandmother passed away a few weeks ago. I guess if he can dedicate his record to his grandmother I can dedicate my listening to mine!

Sorry for your loss, Lukas — 99 is so impressive, amazing
― Karl Malone, Monday, 7 February 2022 04:17 (two years ago) link
Really loving Andrew Tuttle. Local to my QLD. Ambient with a banjo, his 2021 "A Cassowary Apart" has really done the trick.
Analogue Attic has become a great resource for me too. Bought Campfire Stories by Alex Albrecht last year on a whim. Aussie's know how to channel the barrenness

This record is ridiculously good, straddles the line between more vaporwave and melodic ambient, but it's really making my day. Do not click if you can't deal with Celine Dion samples.

I hope it's okay if I can shill for myself for one moment.
Early last year I made this hour-long piece to listen to at night, I got a bit obsessed with Tetsuo Inoue's 'World Reciever' record and I wanted to make something in response, but just for me really.
I sent it to my friend Adam and he liked it enough to want to put it out on his little digital/Bandcamp label, and so it is that today is the day.
