dl, since you mentioned Tanner, I assume you're familiar with Alison Cotton, but if you aren't... godspeed!

Currently playing this lovely bit of slow droning synth ambient from 1984. Probably old hat for this crew but new to me. Any other releases by Roach to recommend? I saw he did an album with Robert Fripp called Trance Spirits and may check that out next.

Dreamtime Return is pretty classic, less spacey, more fourth world-y.

Pretty niche but this is catnip to me: great mix of stuff recorded in 'resonant spaces' (cathedrals, water tanks etc): https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/resonant-spaces/

pomenitul, i hadn't heard alison cotton, but that was very excellent and spot on.
I've started a little aural "mood board"/sketchpad for a nature-based drone/ambient album. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14AdnvL9dneFvxUkGLWdTn?si=qGkteuUGQqS7-WhTY6m-zQ
The idea is I might go for a walk and record the sounds around me with a portable recorder, then "DJ" the sounds of the walk over the mix. I've never DJ'd a walk before - it might end up sounding bad, but it's a fun idea.

also Andrew Ryce from RA gave it a rave review and he's got a good record with this music

Dope album. My first reaction was "this sounds like stuff I've heard before" but then it opened up to me.

https://annebourne.bandcamp.com/album/wave
anne was the cellist / keyboardist with jane siberry in the 80's, then in the 90's fell in with pauline oliveros / fred frith / john oswald / weirder B.C. scenes and she's never stopped turning up in cool contexts but never put out anything solo, till a year ago she began quietly uploading single tracks to bandcamp, and then she just put up this 'album'
now that more people know Radigue the last ten years has seen a lot of people doing extreme minimalism (and all I can really hear is that it's easier to automate five minute cross-fades on your rack) but what Anne's doing is that kind of restraint that took decades to learn

Maybe this is familiar to people, but I'm really enjoying this Alessandro Cortini record from 2017 after listening to an interview with him:https://open.spotify.com/album/6fXNm5RvqVEMi2X7368caX?si=d262565de87b4fe6
Apparently all made on a Roland MC 202 in hotel rooms. Also he dropped approximately 1 million archival records on Bandcamp this year.

Making an album on a single piece of gear is very much my shit
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 27 May 2021 16:39 (three years ago) link
love that Cortini record, glad it's still finding listeners.
― heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Thursday, 27 May 2021 16:43 (three years ago) link
yeah, I'm a big fan of Cortini's stuff!
if you haven't heard it already, I recommend checking out this M. Geddes Gengras album which was made on a Korg Volca FM (and in a hotel room like the Cortini):https://umorrex.bandcamp.com/album/hawaiki-tapes
― eisimpleir (crüt), Thursday, 27 May 2021 17:03 (three years ago) link
Ooh thanks! I too recently made an EP using the Volca FM primarily, but like sequenced dance music using samples for all of the bass and drums. The Cortini record made me wonder if I could do something more live & dubby with it.

love the first one. that blake mills/pino palladino record has lots of wilkes on it too, similarly good

nice I really loved Sam Gendel’s album from last year. on the surface it’s like like jon hassell doing jazz standards but the weird production gives it a different vibe

I feel like this belongs here somehow - I'm going back to Jacaszek's 2001 LP "Glimmer" and this is just my sort of thing. Romantic electro-acoustic ambient with lots of dark lush timbres, wide soundscapes, a good mix of ... well everything, really - sampled traditional instruments, harsh electronic noise, harmony and dissonance. Looking forward to his other work, I'm going to check out KWIATY next.

just loving the Sofie Birch album
is she part of a ... scene? I see a lot of collaborators on this record.
― death generator (lukas), Wednesday, 31 August 2022 17:33 (two years ago) link
good question
a lot of the collaborators are from Copenhagen, afaik joined by common taste, interests, friends
but the international stuff I dunno, if there's a scene I'd like to be more familiar with it

"RYMbient" album that splits the difference between pastoral/cozy/childlike ambient and tape noise — riyl Nuno Canavarro, Colleen, Tim Hecker. ideally this should be used a soundtrack for a Netflix adaptation of Marianne Dreams/Paperhouse
I've also been loving Foresteppe and you c's Seven Sleepers EP from 2016. more folky and less noisy but sort of in the same vein
