His work has been described as "compositions that are patience incarnate" [4] and "encourage an emotional response even as its seemingly infinite, creeping swirl and hum threatens to numb. A difficult feat." [5]

New Mountains record out this coming week, hope it's better than the last one (which was still p good), cos the ones before that were fantastic.

fuzzed-out, all-encompassing ambient that fills the entire sound spectrum

loscil's coast/range/arc is fulfilling this need atm:

one month passes...

So there's this semi-obscure ambient/drone album that I used to love and I can't find it or remember who it was.
I think the whole album was only three long tracks or so and it sounded like a barge slowly scraping against an iceberg.
It was very sludgy, almost like Nadja but no drums and deeper and lo-fi(you could hear the thickness of the tape, not a lot of high end) and it felt like it was maybe an 80s cassette release?

Anybody with any idea? I think I might've read about it as a recommendation from Milton or another old school noize board dude.

N/m, found it!
Albumina Blues by Courtis. Get it if you don't got it.

reynols?

joe bogus (am0n), Saturday, 8 June 2013 00:48 (ten years ago) link

Yeah, it's Anla Courtis but just attributed to "Courtis". It's a 2001 release of some 90s recordings.

I totally recommend the Justin Walter album Lullabies & Nightmares that came out last month on Kranky. Nice soft and somewhat marshmallowy synths that chug along in a Cluster-ish sort of way, plus processed trumpet that makes me think of Jon Hassell. Great album all the way through.

can somebody give me recs in a v new age music enthnography-via-keyboard-presets vein, like eno-hassell but much more minimal and canned. crystalvibrations blogspot has been out of business for quite a while now and i have minimal sources. woke up at four in the morning last night with selected ambient works vol ii playing on a loop and it was so unpleasant. namaste.

hiroshi yoshimura (particularly if you like mercuric dance):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpKL1hvTsUM

his first one is a little more solitary and sad than most of these but is not unlike some of that turman lp. worth checking out in any case:

ahh Surround 1 by hiroshi yoshimura is really really nice

brimstead, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 04:44 (nine years ago) link

soundscape 1: surround, rather. there was a cool collage on wh@t that had a bunch of japanese stuff like that and mkwaju ensemble

brimstead, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 04:47 (nine years ago) link

yeah, didn't see any youtubes, but soundscape 1 is my favorite! it's the most mercuric dance-y

and I know the collage you're talking about, mainly stuff from the fairlights, mallets, and bamboo mixes:

which are also really nice...

john wahey (NickB), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 07:01 (nine years ago) link

i was thinking of recommending finis africae, wasn't sure it fit the bill for this thread, but damn fine stuff nonetheless. there's a great reissue comp on japanese label EM that i think i mentioned on one of the balearic threads

cool!

and that aka/darbari/java clip is real nice. one of many hassell albums I still need to hear...

original bgm, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 17:46 (nine years ago) link

can a noise dude recommend some drone on the more 'chill' side of the spectrum e.g. stars of the lid or kyle bobby dunn, stuff similar to that
