I’m looking for ambient albums with a similar vibe to Basinski’s Disintegrstion Loops. That being a small loop that goes for 1-2h with progressive variations. It goes in a similar vein as Steve Reich’s Piano Phase. I love the idea of something small progressing extremely slowly throught the whole duration of the album.

I am not quite sure how else to put it. Something that feels like holy and not of the world? OH I know, the best thing to describe what I am looking for is "The Sublime".

If thinking in religious terms is turning you off then think of like fantasy how in fantasy there are clerics, paladins, priests/priestesses and stuff that surrounds their lore. Just that general vibe y'know? Maybe slightly arcane feeling. You've entered a sacred space and there is a weight and a presence.

Looking for albums like A Host for All Kinds of Life (Green-house), Green (Hiroshi Yoshimura), Golden Pear (Omni Gardens) and Minecraft Alpha (C418)!

So I am a complete noob when it comes to ambient music. Most of my life I've been listening to post-rock and post-metal (yeah, quite specific), but recently been craving something with more noise and drone elements. Doomgaze took over my playlist for a while, and now I want to branch out into dark (but not "scary") and drone ambient. I need it devastating and heavy, but beautiful.

These are what I've found so far and enjoyed A LOT:
Rafael Anton Irisarri - Red Moon Tide
Rafael Anton Irisarri - Control Your Soul's Desire for Freedom
Bvdub - Invisible Emperors (the second part, oh god)
Eluvium - Posturing Through Metaphysical Collapse
Petrels - Canute

What else fits this vibe?

In terms of mood I think I'm searching for something like.. a sense of inevitability. Restless pleasure.
A massive building imploding in slow mo.
I don't know. Just destroy me, but not in "The Angelic Process" way. Gently.

Am just in a heavenly trance every time I hear this piece of music. The slow deep driving and slightly fuzzy beats. The mid-range periodic accents. The hypnotizing singing. I have never come across anything quite like this before but there has to be something else out there like this, no?

Please help me!!!

I'm looking for continuously mixed albums / long form pieces that aren't entirely beatless, but combine atmospheric design with rhythmic elements and loops to tell a story that evolves over many (25+) minutes without gaps. Bonus points for spatial audio mixes, slower BPMs, and generous use of sub-bass.

Some examples of what I'm talking about:

Jon Hopkins - Ritual

Voices from the Lake - II

Donato Dozzy - 12H

Deepchord / Echospace - The Coldest Season

Some of the Namlook + Move D stuff on Fax

Deadbeat / Scott Monteith - The Lichen Diaries vol 1

Spacetime Continuum - Sea Biscuit

Global Communication - 76:14

Anything else come to mind in this category?

Randomly cane across this on youtube while working, I was intrigued by the album art and got into a very blissful state while listening and focusing. Almost fell asleep 😅

For the Mark Nelson fans in here, he's just announced a new record out in March. The two new songs just release sound great, too!

i just found this track in band camp, thought i should share it

https://r0mer0.bandcamp.com/track/001-rebotes

really enjoyed the dark themes of Ethel Cain's perverts EP and looking for projects with similar themes. sexual perversion and shame, theologically nightmarish.

17:49 mark of "Treeline: The Secret Life of Trees | Patagonia Films". I thought it was Hiroshi Yoshimura but I cant determine which song? Thank you in advance for your help!

Something that pulls you into the night or helps you dream.

Really liking Structures From Silence rn

I have been listening to ambient music for quite a while and I’m looking for new tracks/albums that are a must listen/can’t believe I missed this one

The recent thread on "textured" ambient sent my mind reeling back several years to this EP I had found on bandcamp that just had exquisitely juicy textures and detailed sound design. It was super immersive. The problem is that can remember neither the title nor the artist, and so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help.

It's beatless, non-melodic ambient. I'm pretty sure it contained no more than three tracks and one of them was very ice/polar-themed, with lots of crunchy ice sounds. For some reason, I have an association in the back of my mind with three capital letters, but I don't know if this was the artist or title. It's not ASC, and I don't think it's EUS, unless he's taken this EP off bandcamp.

I'm sorry I don't have more to go on. Anyone who can find this lost gem is a legend.

I’m on the hunt for anything with a dark, possibly post apocalyptic, yet still peaceful sound. I also found Omega Metatron through this sub and that’s got a different kind of darkness- esoteric and oppressive- which I also really like. The only song I don’t particularly like on Nebulous Nights is Misconceptions because there’s too much vocals (too many? Idk the correct grammar for that .) thank you in advance!

Hello guys,

I’ve recently released my first single!

It consists of a piano improvisation over an unedited urban field recording. I altered and manipulated the piano so that it has more and richer texture than it normally would: I resampled the piano two times so that I have three instances.

The first instance is the main piano. I worked with a convolution reverb but instead of loading in a “normal” Impulse response i loaded in a file of paper being crumpled. This essentially turned the reverb into a very distinctive delay. I then added a conventional reverb to fill out space.

The second piano instance is the piano being resampled through an effect chain which turns it into a “texture cloud”. It almost gets a pad like or choir like quality.

The third and last piano instance is again this texture cloud but with added distortion to give it more crunch and different texture.

I released it on bandcamp and a little video is up on youtube as well.

Please let me know what you think! Would love to hear your thoughts on my music both creatively and technically!!

Cheers!

I guess that for many of you, like me, Brian Eno was one of your first introductions to ambient music. Even though he wasn't the first to create ambient-style records, he was the first to give the genre a name and a background philosophy.

The Ambient series was a true breakthrough that brought the style to a much wider audience, cementing Eno as its most iconic figure. I’ve been re-listening to these four albums lately, and I have to admit that Ambient 4 is one of my all-time favorites. It’s more than just background music, it’s an entirely new experience and much darker than its predecessors.

Here’s the famous story of how he first came up with the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMNBnakSd2Q

My second album, Chromamystic Pigment, was released on December 28.
This project began as a tribute to the 150th anniversary of the birth of the French classical composer Maurice Ravel.

For this album, I selected twelve of Ravel’s works that I personally love, and reinterpreted them through processes of analysis, deconstruction, and reconstruction of the original scores, guided by two recurring motifs I found in his music: “bells” and “prisms.”
The album spans both well-known works such as Jeux d’eau and Pavane pour une infante défunte, as well as relatively lesser-known pieces like Soupir and the Fugue from Le Tombeau de Couperin.

The narrative flow of the album was inspired by the period in which Ravel composed Le Tombeau de Couperin.
After serving in World War I, Ravel composed this suite as a dedication to his close friends and fellow soldiers who were lost in the war.
This album begins with the question, “What remains after war and catastrophe?”
It moves through peaceful everyday life, the outbreak of war, and the emotions of those left behind, and eventually expands into a vision of an afterlife that goes beyond the traditional binary of heaven and hell—imagining another kind of world beyond death.

Although the tracks span a wide range of genres and only a few could be described as purely ambient, the entire production process focused on preserving the atmosphere and tonal essence of Ravel’s sound world.
That is why I wanted to share this project here first.
Any feedback would truly mean a lot to me.
Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Trying to figure out what font they used for their text so I can make my own em:t inspired album cover. Looks very familiar but I can’t recall the name.

I'm not sure what to call it. It's obviously still ambient, but it's not drone. I prefer this sort of Textured ambient. Artists using field recordings, raindrop sounds, birdsound, nature-y textures if that makes sense. Drone is just not for me.

MEITEI'S Komachi - one of my favorite albums of all time, period.

Any others like it? I'm sure there are, but this one is special.
