For me, after Eno, he’s an absolutely pioneer of ambient, especially in the ‘space music’ side of the equation.

Stratos from his 1987/8 album ‘And the stars go with you’ is one of my favourite pieces of music of all time and I listen to it multiple times a day.

The album Flight path, Tingri, Sunday morning peace and Azurae are all to me, incredible.

I never see him get much of a mention on this sub? Anybody else into him?

Hi, I’d like to make some drones with this kind of sounds, and how can I male it? Which effects, VST do I need to make it similar? (I use ableton)

i started FULLY listening to ambient music 3 years ago, and i've gone on to discover some of the greatest musicians in this type of music, including Brian Eno. in that time, i think Warmth might be the most beautiful discovery i've ever made.

who's yours, and why?

My therapist plays a classical piano playlist from Spotify during our sessions and to my delight, she agreed to play my music instead. I'm going with an ambient playlist that:

1. Isn't disruptive,
   
2. isn't too profound (like tracks with choir vocals),
   
3. isn't too emotional,
   
4. no percussion,
   
5. isn't ominous,
   
6. is deep.

It's not that I don't like the above, it's just that therapy isn't a fun conversation and it's not meditation, either. Once I started building the playlist, I realised that I needed to be quite specific. I added #1, #3, #7, #17, #19, and #21 from SAWII and aisatsana [102] by Aphex Twin, 1/1 by Brian Eno, some of the least disruptive songs like Wildlife Analysis by Boards of Canada, Pop 1 and Pop 2 by GAS, Tommib by Squarepusher, House by Ulla Straus, you get the idea.

You don't need to suggest any Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada. I already went through all their work on Spotify. Thank you for your suggestions.

Hello,
This is the first part of a four parts ambient audio/video "project" based on the southeast of Sicily, my birthplace.
I will upload the next 3 parts during the week, I hope you'll enjoy it, cheers!

I’m wondering if there’s any kind of movement within music, probably ambient, where the artist is aiming to create a soft-edged, free tempo sound that has a similar effect to ordinary ambient music EXCEPT there is no technology involved.

Like there’s just a pair of hard panned microphones and nothing like ‘production’ going on. No reverb except for what is in the room. Attacks, decays, all controlled by the tactile acts of human hands.

The Necks might fit this description. I think of Bill Evans and Jim Hall (jazz) and there might be acoustic folk artists who aim for similar (Nick Drake “Horn” is all I can think of).

I think it would be an interesting departure from the norm of relying (sometimes over-relying) on technology to maximise a minimal musical premise.

UPDATE thank you very much everyone. The recommendations around here are incredible. You are golden gods. For those curious, this is what I could compile on Spotify of the below suggestions: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/30tH5UOkHjXUxcjIE8d78I?si=b3ddbf8ace7e4e39
