can a noise dude recommend some AMBIENT

I love DJ Olive's two super ambient records (Buoy and Sleep), really nice minimal warm cocoon stuff.

but it's kinda vanilla paulstretch, no?

no

listen to the am0n

btw, pulled up the kaitlyn aurelia smith on spotify
first thing i heard were birdsongs and wind chimes
immediately saved that shit

love that kaitlyn aurelia smith picture

I've played the kaitlyn aurelia smith album a lot the last few days

she has a new one coming out next week

and it is fantastic everyone needs to listen to it

np

i've really been feeling some Laraaji lately:

love this

yall need to hear Laraaji's vision songs tape, which is a solid hour of cosmic drum machine/keyboard/zither vocal jams from 1984. first track on side B, "Bliss Out," is probably my favorite thing of his.

also, can anyone point me in the direction of hiroshi yoshimura's soundscape 1: surround? i've been obsessed with nine post cards and green lately, and i can't find that one anywhere, save a couple of tracks on youtube and mixes.

check your ilxmail j. sam

thanks so much, karl!

no prob man, gorgeous album. thanks for the tip on vision songs, grabbin that now.

ahh Surround 1 by hiroshi yoshimura is really really nice

friend of a friend who records under the name WNDFRM makes dynamic burbly ambient with all sorts of little details flitting in and out of the musical weft - fun to listen to w/ attention or to just let it color yr surroundings

I guess that Kompakt release a meditative album of lucent computer music and Fenneszian guitar sounds is no-one's idea of front page news, but I'm really enjoying the Thore Pfeiffer album atm

track 2 (starting at 7 minutes in)

especially when the piano enters over the singer (about 10 minutes in) it reminds me of parts of harold budd's pavilion of dreams

late response but this is really fantastic

it's difficult to find new age/ambient stuff that plies a line between being too major-key and "pretty" and the robert rich-type diffuse "dark" droney stuff. reminds me of pyrolator's wunderland which is one of my favorite albums ever.

whole album is dope

That is nice. Kind of reminds me of Robert Turman's Flux but with a bubblier palette.

same label as dream carpets

This Rorqual tape is pretty cool if you like hazy, minimal textures that have a kind of Basinski vibe. But more concise.

i've been listening obsessively to the bonus track to harold budd's avalon sutra, "as long as i can hold my breath - by night", which takes up the entirety of disc 2 at 1:09:28 and is adapted from the last song on the first disc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa3qZdjZrNo

the whole 154 album is sublime.. needs to be repressed

i agree that "as long as i can hold my breath - by night" is totally gorgeous. i really like the rest of that album too, it sustains quite a mood.. nocturnal pastoral stateliness, would befit some david sylvian vocals but it's quite wonderful just on its own.

it's unfortunate that darla's reissue subbed a really stock-y orchid photo (plus typically naff darla typeface) for the super pretty roccoco-ish rose ensemble of the original issue.

"as long as i can hold my breath - by night" is amazing.. so sad, though

hi cutty

Hey, the new Kara-Lis Coverdale record is really good. It's called 'Grafts'
