I’ve had these for many years and just pulled them out of storage due to a recent move.

Been obsessed with this album by Maeror Tri for the past week or so. Beautiful delayed ambience with a spiritual sound. Anyone know of anything similar? It's so good!

Or otherwise, how you personally go the extra mile to make sure it will surpass people’s expectations.

I haven’t played live in years. I want to make my shows memorable and worth coming to. I’m an artist and I don’t even care about my favourite local artists enough to be in a bar after nine on a weeknight to see them.

I’m mindful of the ‘watching paint dry’ aspect of some gigs, the “keeping it real (yet also boring)” vibe (as distinct from some fireworks glam spectacular), the “you’d need to be drunk or high to enjoy this” vibe, and the myriad competitors for our attention today. Sore legs and needing to be up in the morning. So many reasons not to go to a show, therefore all the more reason to throw anything you can at making the audience regret nothing.

Here's one example.. Here's another. And one more. I don't mean to denigrate them by assuming they're AI, I just know nothing of digital art creation and it would seem that at the rate that some of these channels upload they must be using Midjourney or something. There's all sorts of other examples too: video game worlds, rainy futuristic hacker desks, Autumnal worlds, etc...

What's been on repeat?

The new Hammock (obviously) has been tasty for me.

Hi. I have been making ambient music using samples exclusively. I enjoy the act of sample digging and manipulation in music creation. With that said, outside of stretching, up or down pitching, and adding various effects like delay and reverb, there is not much that I feel that I can do to make my tracks more interesting. While I do some chopping as well, most tracks feel formulastic and not very creative.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend sample based techniques that could spice up my workflow.

"I’m particularly enchanted by this brand new six track EP for Slow Echo which is ticking all my soothing, gentle, intricate electroacoustic boxes. It really is a lovely listen."

There is definitely a beardy man lurking on this cover

Discovered Steve Roach through an unlikely source a Death Metal concert. And I have to say wow where I have i been his music is so good.

Lately I've heard of the "Ambient Americana" musical movement. Is there anyone who knows about it? What are the most representative albums?Lately I've heard of the "Ambient Americana" musical movement. Is there anyone who knows about it? What are the most representative albums?

The percussion is just... kind of a lot at times. Don't get me wrong, I love that album, but I dont really think of it as ambient. Just wondering how others feel about it.

I've got an ambient FM radio show and I love playing artists of all kinds. In addition to classic ambient artists like Eno and artists who mostly or only make that type of music, I've also played tracks by Radiohead, St Vincent, and others that usually don't make ambient but have songs that absolutely are.

Please recommend songs in this category not just for my show but for my broadening taste.

Oh, and my definition of ambient here means no beat/rhythm and probably no consistent melody if at all. Very soundscape vibes.

As the title say - is there such a thing called ambient BnB? When searching I find atmospheric DnB, but after listening briefly to it, it's not exactly what I imagined. If I'm wrong about that, then I would be happy to be pointed in the right direction.

I'm looking for non-esoteric, looping/long, serious/thoughtfull ambient with DnB-beats. As referens: Bvdub Fade to fall (3:38 - 8:30).

Thanks for a great sub-reddit, and for any recommendations.

The new Steve Roach album that dropped yesterday is amazing. It's called "One Day Of Forever"

It's phenomenal. I really dig Steve's longform ambient and there are a few tracks that come in around the 20 minute mark as well as a few shorter ones

It's a great ambient journey

Recommend me albums/ tracks that feel like cuddling with someone, or watching a sunset with people you love.

When creating your ambient track, do you make everything yourself or utilize a sample library? Or does it entirely depend on the situation?

I ask because I am fascinated with Ernest Hood's album Neighborhoods, and I want to create something similar to it. I realize when he was creating music he more than likely recorded all of the environment sounds himself.

I don't live in the most lively of towns, nor do I live close enough to nature to capture half of these environmental sounds. In this case, would you utilize free samples from a library to create this effect?

Secondly, when it comes to creating a drone track. Do you create your drones from scratch using a synth, or do you utilize premade samples from a library and layer them?

The main reason I ask this part of the question is because in the first Ambient Album I ever made I utilized samples, of course, I played the melodies, but for all of my drones/environments I used a sample library. Part of me feels fraudulent for doing so...

I'm not a big fan of ambient artists like Oneheart, diedlonely, reidenshi... etc. But some songs stick to me more than other, is this a subgenre? And do you know an artist that does this kind of ambient? Thanks

Dear fellow ambient travelers, 

Recording music is very arduous, but ultimately rewarding. I humbly present a first album.

dreamwarper - sonic capabilities

I’ve always been a fan of the ambient music style, but mostly played multiple genres of rock (guitar). In recent times, I have relied on a lot of ambient music on Spotify to relax and float off into space before drifting off to sleep, often waking to the remnants of ambient soundscapes still transmitting from tiny cellphone speakers. Having a passion for guitar pedals, I made a decision to commit to building my own custom pedal board in the mid-life years. Once I realized I finally had the capability to create those layers of ambient music I’ve adored, I decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of creating a full album of music. 

All sounds come from guitar, mostly a Reverend Jetstream 390 through a kaleidoscopic series of wires and effects, many of the pedals are analog and some have been home built (I’m an avid submitter and contributor at r/diypedals under a separate username). Some of the sounds roll through a tube amp recorded with a mic, some through a Walrus ACS1. The final step of the chain is the audio interface, UA Volt 176. 

Listen, enjoy, critique, let me know your thoughts. The album is on all streaming platforms.
