backtracking to the enthnography-via-keyboard-presets request, would recommend checking out richard horowitz's eros in arabia lp from the early eighties. the only examples from it i can find don't really do it justice though (first one is an extract from the opening 20+ min track)

oh yeah! i've listened to the album horowitz did w/ sussan deyhim dozens of times, it's amazing — have never thought to seek out anything by him, stupidly

do all the skaters cassettes and cd-rs count as ambient?

cylob's mood bells album on rephlex is all just cheesy synth bells and gongs and shit iirc. i remember hating it when it came out but i'm curious to hear it now.

this would fall in w/ plaxico's minimal/canned new agey ambient, lots of dx-7 sounds (afaict)

Forced Nostalgia has a free/name your price download of 8m² stereo's nineties recordings.

I'm really digging track 2, minimal and kind of strange. Apparently this guy's only real public release was on some em:t comp back in the day.

Surprised me but Untold's new mixtape is terrific and been on loop for the last 48 hrs

http://www.factmag.com/2014/08/11/download-untolds-echo-in-the-valley-mixtape/

Maybe a little more concrète but 100% relevant to y'all I'm sure

untold is brilliant

must admit tim's pricing on this puts it in the rabid-fans-only realm, but it is seriously great & totally different than their previous records.

can a mod remove that kronos quartet img upthread, its hideous

am0n, Friday, 12 September 2014 18:01 (nine years ago) link

could've been worse: could be a picture of the actual kronos quartet

feldman isnt even ambient!

am0n, Friday, 12 September 2014 22:48 (nine years ago) link

argh ppl calling feldman 'ambient' is a pet peeve of mine

massaman gai, Saturday, 13 September 2014 05:57 (nine years ago) link

oh u like ambient music allow me to recommend elliott carter's 3rd string quartet

clouds, Monday, 15 September 2014 20:07 (nine years ago) link

it jars to use it to describe his intention but there is a kind of rationale about use value, maybe, for some of it

Daphnis Celesta, Monday, 15 September 2014 20:09 (nine years ago) link

like i don't think the radigue i posted above is ambient meaning ignorable or pleasant background music, there is a lot of activity and detail happening there — this is just the thread most likely to attract types that would enjoy it

clouds, Monday, 15 September 2014 20:32 (nine years ago) link

most of this thread isn't Ambient in the strict Eno sense i don't think

Daphnis Celesta, Monday, 15 September 2014 20:34 (nine years ago) link

can a noise dude recommend some ABSTRACT ART

Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 15 January 2015 17:53 (nine years ago) link

ie hippy minimalism

Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 15 January 2015 17:54 (nine years ago) link

sorry for the n00b question, but can anyone recommend some ambient that sounds like 0:00 - 2:42 and 5:50 - 6:19 here?

gr8080, Thursday, 15 January 2015 17:56 (nine years ago) link

may be the cluster & eno album?

Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 15 January 2015 18:03 (nine years ago) link

hmmm sort of? i was thinking music for airports was closer....

gr8080, Thursday, 15 January 2015 18:44 (nine years ago) link

maybe some suzanne ciani 'velocity of love' or steve roach 'structures from silence'?

LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Thursday, 15 January 2015 18:52 (nine years ago) link

i'll check those out.

tbh this kaytlyn aurelia smith album is very close to the mark

gr8080, Thursday, 15 January 2015 18:53 (nine years ago) link

yeah totally Cluster, esp Sowiesoso. Also yeah Cluster + Eno and Deluxe by Harmonia.

slightly frippertronic feel too, tho obv not on guitar

will never understand basinski. when i read about him first off i figured it would be some kinda jeck/bepler synthesis, but it's kinda vanilla paulstretch, no? maybe that's what it's all about and it just ain't my bag.
on different tack, despite a catalogue of what amounts to offensively inoffensive plunderphonic trip-hop odysseys for me, this is the bomb:
