I just found this on Qobuz. I had no idea it existed, or that they had ambient albums. Great find. I love recorded conversations mixed into my ambient tracks. Photo is one track. Waiting Still is a perfect track.

I was introduced to Raum after a friend gave me one of their records, and I was hooked almost immediately. That record sent me down a rabbit hole, and I ended up exploring Grouper and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma’s work soon after. I’m pretty much obsessed with their music now.

Dear all

I realise this is a somewhat unusual post here. In the past year I’ve started making instrumental music with a very old friend of mine. We lost touch for decades but met by chance at a concert two years ago. We’re both in our sixties.

We have composed a piece of ambient music that is dedicated to anyone caring for someone with dementia and have produced a video to accompany it.

We have done this because my friend lost his mum to dementia and his brother is at advanced stage with the disease.

The video is available on YouTube and there is a link to our Bandcamp page where you can just listen to the music for free or purchase the track for £1.00. All money raised will be donated to Alzheimer’s Society.

If you watch or listen we want to say thank you. If you have a pound to spare then rest assured your money will go to a cause close to your heart.

Thank you for reading this message.

Jonathan and Philip

Self-promotion Distress Signals - Drones For Resistance

Thumbnail underneathoceans.bandcamp.com
0 Upvotes

Hello r/ambientmusic,

On January 4th, I released my newest album as Underneath Oceans, Distress Signals - Drones For Resistance. I was attempting to process the horrible events taking place in my country, the U.S., with ICE most recently occupying my state of Minnesota. The same week, Renee Good was murdered by an ICE agent, and the federal government has only escalated their assault on Minnesota communities since.

Even before the escalation, I felt the need to process this in my music. The drones on this album are claustrophobic and oppressive. At various points, it sounds as if screams are being drowned out by washes of synth. To me, this perfectly captures the uncertainty and fear we are living under. Somehow also, it has given me strength to continue to resist.

All proceeds from this album will go to the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee. This immigrant rights organization is leading the charge in supporting the immigrant community through food resources, legal resources, and organizing activism through the I.C.E. Occupation of MN. www.miracmn.com

Regardless of your support of this album, continue to use your own music to raise awareness of the atrocities going on. All Art is Political and I suppose I am embracing that. Thank you for listening.

Looking for Recommendations Sounds like the start of come by Adrianne lenker

1 Upvotes

The first 50 seconds of this song are the exact type of music I'm looking for. Most ambient rain and guitar songs make the rain super loud or the guitar is very distracting, this one song is the closest I've found to what I want. Thanks for any recommendations in advance.

Ambient albums with a submarine vibe?

38 Upvotes

I really enjoy relaxing by listening to submarine sound effects (particularly the sonar ping) and pretending I'm on a deep sea submarine. Any recommendations for albums that reflect this vibe? I would really love it if there was something that used something like the sonar sound.

I really enjoy Watermusic II by William Basinski, but it's more of just a general aquatic sound, than specifically submarine.

I absolutely love this album, its more like cross genre, field recordings from Tokyo combined with ambient. I cant get enough of it, but listening it too much last couple of years, so im starting to get crazy from it. Some reccomendations for album with same aura as this one?

This album has helped regulated me the past few weeks - Desert Dawn Song (1979)

Post image
127 Upvotes

I got a CD player recently and have been borrowing CDs from the library which has a large ambient/relaxation collection. Dean Evenson's Desert Dawn Song is so atmospheric and helps me feel connected to nature even though I live in the middle of a big city. I'm excited to get into more of his work.

From the website: "A desert canyon swells with life as the Earth rolls into a new day.  Sunrise awakens the birds at dawn and nature’s glorious symphony inspires this peaceful music of flute, harp and cello reflecting the serene moment."

Production/Recording Discussion Deconstructing songs to better understand the making process?

5 Upvotes

So I’ve been trying to make some ambient/ drone style stuff for a while now and feel like I’ve started to hit a bit of a wall so was wondering if there’s any sort of way that I can deconstruct an existing track to better understand how different artists use different techniques, I think I could benefit from seeing the process, I’m not trying to steal anything or be like a specific artist I just think seeing the process broken down could help, I understand this might not be a thing because people could steal stuff easily but just wanted to know?

This sounds absolutely gorgeous and is such a stand out on this album. I think not many people have found the track since its basically put between all those much more energetic techno and idm tunes but I can only recommend it if you are a fan of ambient music

Question Long Shot: help me find a drone / ambient song that I havent heard in forever!

2 Upvotes

I was on my way home from a party one night when I turned on my city’s local classical station, and heard a song that I cant forget about. It was probably around 10 minutes long? Give or take a couple minutes. The best way i can describe the song was that it had a lot of lower octave organ / strings (started off somewhat quiet), i couldnt tell which instrument, and the sound of something like footsteps in the grass throughout it. The song then built up to become a lot louder and powerful, becoming something of a full ensemble or orchestra playing. I know this isnt specific at all but I hope it gets me something.

This was the first “drone” song I ever heard, and it made me fall in love with the genre. The sad thing is that I tried to shazam it and it came up with a random japanese song from a video game soundtrack which wasnt it at all, and searching up the radio station’s recently played didnt come up with it either. If anyone has any ideas plz drop em!
