Ambient Music Thread Genre • Page 8

ive actually listened to them before-- extremely beautiful stuff. have you ever listened to that Riceboy Sleeps project the dude from sigur ros did? its amaaaaazing. im desperate for more ambient like that

 

yes, I have - real good stuff

you might be interested in exploring Benoit Pioulard - depending on the album, you'll get a different experience ranging from folk pop with ambient soundscapes, to absolutle abstract pastoral drones

maybe somewhere in the middle you'll hit something similar in feel to that Riceboy Sleeps album

and also, obviously, this:

 

Listening to his stuff now and so far its fantastic-- extremely lush

 

Which Benoit album should I start with?

 

thanks

 

wow intro to music for public ensemble has me hyppppeeedddd (and relaxed)

edit: this album is blowing me away rn

 

try and spot the Ian William Craig contribution(s)

it's pretty easy as he has a very unique voice :P

 

Really enjoying his album Sonnet

 

glad you dig! i was recently obsessed with the back half of Apollo and ended up finding that album.

--

this album is pretty cool

 

yeah, we need more space cowboy ambient

 

is music for private ensemble in the same vein as public?

 

well, it's interesting

both share a similar "sound space" but the process differed significantly (private (Sean solo) vs public (Sean + a lot of contributions) so they arrive to different conclusions

think of the albums as different sides of the same coin

 

this one might be the better one

 

Strongly recommend...

 

this album is pretty great

 

I listened to For Those of You Who Have Never (And Also Those Who Have) today after seeing it on Pitchfork's top 50 albums list. I've never listened to an ambient album before, but this is really great. Looks like I have some catching up to do with this genre, haha.

 

brian eno - music for airports

start there

 

Thanks! I'll check that out.

 

Helios' Eingya was a good entry into the genre for me. I'd also check out Stars of the Lid (probably Tired Sounds Of first, then And Their Refinement of the Decline)

 

Disruptive Muzak is raddddd

 

NEW GROUPER IS AMAZING

 

Yes. Yes it is

 

really been enjoying this one as of late

wonderful playful symphonic ambient - light, almost happy sounding and very musical

If you're into Olafur Arnalds, you will will dig this - I know I do
