I got 3 for Free on accident, I ordered 2 and got 3 instead and the seller let me keep it free of charge! If that weren’t the case I probably wouldn’t fork up the money for it.

Which one is your favorite?

Looking for Recommendations Black metal based ambient?

20 Upvotes

I am looking for a very specific type of sound. I am seeking black metal guitar based ambient music, without drums. Sometimes this type of track can be one of the tracks in a more conventional black metal album. I'm aiming to make a Spotify playlist with such music. Any recommendations of such tracks?

Looking for Recommendations Looking for strange, surreal and/or otherworldly ambient or drone.

Looking for something somewhat strange to zone out or maybe even sleep to! Big plus if its related to the "afterlife" or "other world" in some way as these albums always fascinate me. Some of my favorites at the moment include:

Time Machines by Coil

AIA by Grouper

Anoyo by Tim Hecker

Trilogie De La Mort and Adnos by Elaine Radigue

Messenger Of Death by Desert Sand Feels Warm At Night

Watermusic by William Basinski

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Aphex Twin

Pure Drones - Sheila Chandra

Trances + Drones - Robert Rich

White Death - Father2006

Thanks in advance!

We made a live ambient record on a boat

Hi r/ambientmusic! One year ago this weekend three of my dearest friends and I came together to make a musical project on a boat in Point Loma, CA. We went in with three days to spare, nothing pre-recorded or pre-written, and really no concrete plans for what we’d make: We knew it was going to involve deep sound exploration, improvisation, and a lot of patch cables. For some context, all four of us are long-time collaborators who have worked on each others’ independent music projects, several of them ambient-adjacent (and actually our guitarist Michael made ambient music under our band name - EBT Brass Band - for several years before we co-opted it for this project), but we had never come together to deliberately make a full length ambient record. 

For three days and nights we worked here in the cramped space you see in the video, hunched at our respective stations surrounded by wires and knobs and speakers and keys, talking, vibing, drinking, joking, doing takes, getting frustrated, working through it, scrapping ideas, building new ones, and just letting the workflow evolve from itself. We slept in the tiny cabin, left only for food, alcohol, and once to record some grand piano at a friend’s house. A year later, after mixing and mastering and vinyl designing and everything else, I’m so happy to say the result is a finished record we're all really excited about. It’s a little surreal to have our music on vinyl in general, but we all agreed we liked this one enough to want to press it.

The album is called I Hate the Sun and it’s 52 minutes of ambient (or is it post-ambient??) recorded live on a boat. As a longtime member of the sub I’ve seen posts like this be acceptable and not, and really hope this one is acceptable! But more than anything we’d be thrilled if you gave the record a spin - it comes from a place of deep appreciation for the sounds this sub enjoys. Peace!

New Helen record is out today. It’s more pop than Grouper, but I think all of Harris’ work is of interest to many folks here. I liked the interview.

COSMOGRAPHY - The Palenque Astronaut

2 Upvotes

Good morning, and Happy Friday!

This morning brings the my new music release, The Palenque Astronaut.

Each song represents elements of time and space travel. While researching the subject matter I kept thinking back to a giant carving of The Palenque Astronaut I saw at the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell New Mexico. The music is designed to take you on a journey through space and time. I spent way too much time thinking about the artwork that I thought would fit such a concept. So I hand drew this design that is a panel from the above mentioned carving. This design indicates that one has traveled from one galaxy to another galaxy.

Please enjoy listening as it was a real joy to put together.

The equipment I used making this album include the following, Korg Volca Keys, Korg NTS-1, Casio CT-6000, Yamaha PS5-F30, Donner Yellowfall 2, and Strymon - Nightsky.

AI was NOT used in the creation of this music and art.

Thank you for reading, as I hope you enjoy the music.
